Can I request for more data items than what my digital service requires?

No, you should not request for more data items than what your digital service requires. You should only request the specific data items necessary for your digital service.

• This practice is in line with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which requires that personal data be collected appropriately and only where relevant to the intended purpose.

Every data request submitted will be reviewed before approval, to ensure it meets the principles of data minimisation.

⚠️ Important: Do not request or collect more personal data than is required for your business or legal needs. Over-collection is not permitted.
