This course aims to introduce students to privacy and data protection law. The bulk of this course will be centred on Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act 2012; students should emerge from this course equipped to advise on the various practical issues that modern organisations face when dealing with personal data. In addition, students will also be introduced to data protection regulation at the international level, through comparisons with other data protection laws in major jurisdictions (such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and China’s Personal Information Protection Law).
