A Privacy Policy is a legal document that explains how your organization collects, uses, and protects personal data. It's required under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) for any business handling customer information, from e-commerce sites to healthcare providers.

The policy must clearly tell users what data you're gathering, why you need it, and who else might see it. Good policies also explain how people can access their information, update it, or ask questions about your data practices. Under Singapore law, you need to write this in clear language and make it easily available to everyone who shares their data with you.

You need a Privacy Policy when your business starts collecting personal data from customers, employees, or visitors in Singapore. This includes gathering names, contact details, financial information, or even IP addresses through your website. The PDPA requires this policy before you begin any data collection activities.

Common triggers include launching a new website, starting an email marketing campaign, opening an e-commerce store, or introducing customer loyalty programs. Having your Privacy Policy ready helps build trust with users, prevents costly compliance issues, and protects your business from potential PDPA violations that can lead to fines up to S$1 million.

A Privacy Policy differs significantly from a Cybersecurity Policy. While both deal with data protection, they serve distinct purposes and have different legal requirements under Singapore law.

• Regulatory Focus: Privacy Policies primarily address PDPA compliance and personal data handling, while Cybersecurity Policies focus on technical security measures and threat prevention
• Target Audience: Privacy Policies communicate directly with customers and data subjects, while Cybersecurity Policies guide internal staff and IT teams
• Content Scope: Privacy Policies detail data collection, usage, and sharing practices, while Cybersecurity Policies outline security protocols, incident response, and system protection measures
• Legal Requirements: Privacy Policies are mandatory under PDPA for all organizations collecting personal data, while Cybersecurity Policies are often voluntary but essential for risk management
