Let's break down your questions for clarity:
Why is your contact information in the user contact list? We suggest checking directly with the user who added your contact. s͛Card is a comprehensive professional business networking tool that allows users to store and digitise their business contacts. Our advanced technology gathers information that is available from the Internet and our internal database. To ensure your privacy, our system is designed to notify data owners when their information is stored, which is why you received a notification.
Is this legal? Does this comply with the PDPA Act?
Rest assured, here’s some general information about the PDPA Act and Business Contact Information (BCI):
-
Definition: BCI includes an individual’s name, position, business telephone number, business address, business email address, business fax number, and similar information provided for business purposes.
-
Exclusion: The PDPA does not apply to business contact information used solely for business purposes, such as professional networking or business communications. Therefore, the use of business card information in s͛Card for these purposes is excluded from the Data Protection Provisions of the PDPA.
