CIPP-A Exam - Question 8


Besides the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which of the following is a potential source of privacy protection for Singapore citizens?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AD

Breach of confidence law is a potential source of privacy protection for Singapore citizens. Singapore does not provide explicit constitutional protections of privacy. It is also not a party to any enforceable international agreements specifically protecting privacy, and the tort of invasion of privacy is not established as a recognized legal protection in Singapore. Breach of confidence law can offer some degree of privacy protection by addressing instances where confidential information is improperly disclosed.

D- breach of confidence law. Singapore provides very little legal protection to privacy outside the new PDPA. It has no explicit constitutional protections of privacy, and it is not a party to any enforceable international agreements protecting privacy. It is uncertain whether there is tort protection against harassment, but otherwise there is no tort of invasion of privacy. Some protection is provided by breach of confidence law.
