Ccpa And Pdpa Rights

Summary

The CCPA primarily protects California residents, so a Singaporean using a Californian service may not have CCPA rights. However, businesses might apply similar protections globally. For data deletion, the GDPR applies to EU residents, but Singapores PDPA allows you to request data deletion if its no longer needed. If Facebook doesnt respond to your deletion request, document your attempts and contact Singapores PDPC for further assistance.

yes, i created an facebook account in singapore and would like it deleted. is there any law which requires facebook to do so?
In your situation, the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and Singapore's PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act) can be relevant:
- GDPR: If Facebook processes data of users in the EU, they must comply with deletion requests.
- PDPA: Singapore law requires organizations to cease retaining personal data if it’s no longer needed.
You can request deletion through Facebook's support channels.
Would you like more information on how to proceed with the request?
yes please. but i dont think the gdpr can apply since im not in the EU
Since the GDPR might not apply to you, let's focus on the PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act) in Singapore.
- Under the PDPA, you have the right to request the cessation of the retention of your personal data if it's no longer needed.
- You can submit a deletion request to Facebook through their support channels.
Have you already tried contacting Facebook support?
yes, but they have not replied
If Facebook has not replied, you can escalate your request using the following steps:
- Document your request: Keep records of your deletion request and Facebook's lack of response.
- Contact PDPC: Reach out to the Personal Data Protection Commission in Singapore for further assistance.
