Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act requires that every organisation must designate at least one individual as its data protection officer, and must make such DPO's business contact information publicly available.
With effect from 28 March 2020, business entities that are registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore (ACRA) can choose to register, and update, their DPO's business contact information on ACRA's BizFile portal, accessible at: https://www.bizfile.gov.sg/
Whilst it is not mandatory to register an organisation's DPO with ACRA, doing so will satisfy the organisation's accountability obligation to make available its DPO's business contact information to the public.
