Personal data of deceased individuals
As noted earlier, the term “individual” includes both living and deceased individuals.
Hence, the provisions of the PDPA will apply to protect the personal data of deceased
individuals to the extent provided in the PDPA
Specifically, the PDPA provides that the obligations relating to the disclosure and
protection of personal data will apply in respect of the personal data about an
individual who has been dead 10 years or less
The above obligations will apply in respect of the personal data of a deceased
individual for 10 years from the date of death. This is intended to minimise any
adverse impact of unauthorised disclosure of such data on family members of the
deceased.
Organisations should
note that while the PDPA does not apply to personal data of individuals who have
been deceased for more than 10 years, there may still be other legal or contractual
requirements that organisations should be mindful of.
Should be C. Singapore's data protection laws covers personal data of the deceased (up to 10 years protection) while India and Hong Kong's do not.
