A well-maintained database for a specific purpose is resourceful to any business. But have you paid attention to the data you are collecting?&nbsp; Here are some tips that will help you if you are collecting personal details:1. Do consider whether you collect the information at any physical location or online, you still need to justify your reasons and ensure the protection of data.2. Ensure that information is not used for beyond the purpose it has been collected.&nbsp;3. Clearly communicate your purpose of collection. Notification is one of the key obligations under PDPA.&nbsp;4. Do not force or make it look like it is mandatory. Re-visit pages and justify whether you need to do this.5. Do not assume that your organisation has the right to collect any personal information and the right to do anything with them.&nbsp;6. You need to take reasonable measures. Either have a password-protected document or encrypt it. This will minimise it ending up with a third party. We hope these tips help you to think twice before you start collecting information related to the personal data of your customers. -----------------------https://www.dpexnetwork.org/The Data Protection Excellence (DPEX) Network is the first of its kind facility in the ASEAN region whose aim is to provide leadership, best practices, training, research and support for all things surrounding data privacy from an operational perspective.This collaboration of partnerships comprises certification bodies, law firms, universities and organisations who provide professional services and technologies relating to data privacy.An ever-growing network of certification and learning bodies, members currently include Straits Interactive, De La Salle University, Philippines, International Islamic University of Malaysia, National Institute of Development Administration - NIDA, Thailand, Singapore Management University Academy and Telkom University, Indonesia, IAPP, EXIN and OCEG.The DPEX Network is honoured to have the following Independent International Advisors on the panel, who volunteer their services to guide the community in their competency and compliance journey in the region.&nbsp;~~~~~~~~~~~~~https://www.straitsinteractive.com/Straits Interactive delivers end to end governance, risk and compliance solutions that enable businesses to create a trusted business environment and achieve responsible marketing, especially in the area of data privacy and protection.We help businesses achieve operational compliance and manage risks through a combination of cloud technology and professional services and enable platform interactions.
