The Personal Data Protection Commission published three decisions between July and September 2025 after concluding the following investigations:
(a) One investigation relating to the Consent Obligation;
(b) One investigation relating to the Protection Obligation; and
(c) One investigation relating to the Accountability Obligation.
The General Division of the High Court has also recently handed down its decision in Piper, Martin v Singapore Kindness Movement [2025] SGHC 173, clarifying certain aspects of data protection laws in Singapore, including the scope of deemed consent in complaints investigations and holding, among other things, that there was no direct causal link between a contravention of section 48O of the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 and the alleged loss or damage suffered, as a result of which the plaintiff failed to establish any actionable emotional distress.
We have outlined some points of interest in those decisions.
