MCSTs Served Across SIngapore
BCA Legislation Certified DPO Team
It is mandatory for all MCSTs in Singapore to comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
MCST data protection issues rarely sit within the PDPA alone. Our wider understanding of strata-management legislation allows us to provide more practical, context-aware guidance to both the MA and Council.
We understand how Councils and Managing Agents work together in the day-to-day management of an estate.
We don't look at the PDPA in isolation. Our advice considers the wider legislative and operational context of MCSTs.
Our recommendations are designed to be understood, discussed and implemented within real estate operations.
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:
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).
MCSTs that fail to comply with the PDPA and do not appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) will receive Warnings, Directions or Financial Penalties.
Both MCST 3593 and New-E Security failed to put in place reasonable security arrangements to prevent the unauthorised disclosure of CCTV footage of a common property at Marina Bay Residences. MCST3593 also failed to appoint a data protection officer and put in place policies and practices necessary for the organisation to comply with the PDPA.
Both MCST 4375 and A Best Security Management failed to put in place reasonable security arrangements to prevent the unauthorised disclosure of CCTV footage of an individual injured by a falling glass door at Alexandra Central Mall. MCST 4375 also failed to put in place policies and practices necessary for the organisation to comply with the PDPA.
Below are some of the MCSTs we serve, ranging from Condominiums to Shopping Malls, to Mixed Developments and Industrial Buildings.
Each MCST appoints a Managing Agent (MA) to handle the day-to-day operations, and we work closely with their MA to handle data protection related queries and complaints, policies and SOP setup, ensuring PDPA compliance.
