IBF Accredited Course – Institute of Banking and Finance Singapore
The Personal Data Protection Training for Singapore Financial Services course provides practical training on how to collect, handle and protect personal data in accordance with Singapore data protection law and applicable international requirements.
Failure to manage personal data appropriately can expose financial services organisations to significant financial and reputational risk. Singapore and European privacy laws impose strict obligations on businesses operating in Singapore, making effective data protection training essential for all staff.
This course covers the areas of privacy and data protection most commonly encountered by financial services organisations in Singapore. Four modules focus on the requirements of the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act, which governs how personal data must be collected, stored, used, corrected and deleted. The PDPA also includes obligations relating to data breach notification and telemarketing, including the Do Not Call Register.
The course also introduces the European Union General Data Protection Regulation. Singapore organisations that deal with EU citizens or process EU personal data may be subject to GDPR obligations. Scenarios and case studies throughout the course illustrate real world privacy issues faced by financial services staff and support practical understanding.
This course is recognised under the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF) Financial Training Scheme (FTS) and is eligible for FTS claims, subject to eligibility criteria being met.
