Singapore: Regulator to conduct market studies on personal data transfer, online travel booking
Singapore’s antitrust regulator launched its new consumer protection role on Monday, April 9, with the announcement of two market studies—one on online travel booking and the other on the transfer of personal data, according to TodayOnline.
In one study, the renamed Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) will focus on the online booking of flight tickets and hotel accommodation in Singapore, given the growing popularity of the medium.
It will examine the types of commercial arrangements entered into between third-party online travel-booking platforms and service providers and how they compete with each other.
The second is a joint study with the Personal Data Protection Commission to examine consumer protection, competition and personal data protection issues which may arise if a data portability requirement is introduced in Singapore.
