About This Course

This course provides small business owners and managers with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively manage personal data protection in compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Learners will gain a thorough understanding of their responsibilities when it comes to notifying individuals about data collection purposes, ensuring the accuracy of personal data, and managing data throughout its lifecycle. Through practical case studies and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to navigate consent management, rectify errors in personal data, and implement protocols for ceasing or anonymizing data in a compliant manner.

For small businesses, understanding and applying personal data protection principles is essential for building trust with customers and avoiding legal risks. This course is highly relevant as data protection laws are increasingly being enforced across the globe, and non-compliance can result in fines and damage to business reputation. The skills gained through this course will not only help businesses stay compliant with PDPA obligations but also provide a competitive advantage by demonstrating a commitment to protecting customer privacy. Completing this training will empower small business owners and managers to make informed decisions about data handling, and it can help prepare them for any future audits or regulations.

This course is designed for beginner to intermediate learners, particularly those in small businesses who are responsible for data protection, compliance, or customer service management.
