Business contact information
Under Singapore's PDPA, business contact information is a person's name, job title and work phone, address, email or fax, provided for business rather than solely personal purposes.
The PDPA's data protection obligations largely don't apply to business contact information. In practice, that means you can generally use a prospect's work details to contact them about business matters without first getting consent under those provisions.
Two caveats:
- It doesn't switch off the DNC rules. Marketing calls and texts to Singapore numbers are still covered by the Do Not Call provisions.
- A mobile number isn't automatically business contact information. If it's the person's personal phone, treat it as personal data.
This is general information, not legal advice.
