Data Protection Quarterly Updates (October – December 2023)

16 Jan 2024 LegisWatch

The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) published three decisions between October and December 2023 after concluding the following investigations:

(a) One investigation relating to the Purpose Limitation Obligation under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA); and
(b) Two investigations relating to the Protection Obligation under the PDPA.

The PDPC also published two practical guidances to Zuellig Pharma and Meta which covered issues relating to transfers of personal data for the purposes of providing a privacy enhancing technology solution and anonymised data.

We have outlined some points of interest in those decisions and practical guidances.
