Data Incidents Involving Government Agencies or Government Data
The Data Protection Provisions under the PDPA apply to private sector organisations. Protection of personal data in the public sector (i.e. government data) is governed by the Public Sector (Governance) Act (PSGA). In the private sector, organisations are expected to be individually accountable for the personal data in its possession, while the public sector functions as one entity and manages data as a common resource to deliver public service to its citizens.
You may consider approaching the relevant public agency’s Quality Service Manager (QSM). The QSM’s contact details are found on the website of the relevant public agency.
To report data incidents involving government agencies or government data, please contact the Government Data Security Contact Centre.
