Show Answer
Correct Answer: BC

In Singapore, a potential employer can collect postings from social media websites, information from a background check, and an individual's university attendance records, as these are commonly used to evaluate a candidate's suitability for a job. However, collecting information about an individual's children is not relevant to making an employment decision and would be considered an invasion of privacy. Therefore, a potential employer cannot collect information about the individual's children during the pre-employment phase.

NO to C - You can legally collect the rest - A, B &D - B is not relevant for the employement purpose... The main objective of the Purpose Limitation Obligation is to ensure that organisations collect, use and disclose personal data that are relevant for the purposes, and only for purposes that are reasonable. Consistent with the Notification Obligation, the Purpose Limitation Obligation also limits the purposes for which personal data may be collected, used or disclosed to those which have been informed to the individuals concerned pursuant to the Notification Obligation (where applicable).
