PDPA Compliance For MCSTs
A MCST is considered an organisation under the PDPA.
MCSTs need to comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), starting with the appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
The responsibilities of a DPO include, but are not limited to:
- Ensuring PDPA Compliance
- Fostering a Data Protection Culture
- Efficient Handling of Data Inquiries
- Alert Management on Personal Data Risks
- Liaise with PDPC when required
Who Needs To Appoint A DPO?
A MCST comprises the subsidiary proprietors of all lots within the specific strata title plan (an “estate”), which could be residential buildings such as apartments and condominiums, or commercial buildings such as shopping malls, offices and medical centres.
The Management Council (MC) of each MCST needs to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
Condominiums
Shopping Malls
Commercial Buildings
