On 02 August 2018, the Singapore Personal Data Protection Commission (the "Commission") released its decision in Re: Management Corporation Strata Title Plan No. 4436 [2018] SGPDPC 18 ("Re: MCST 4436").
In this case, the Commission turned its attention to a conflict between section 21(3) of the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (the "PDPA"), which prohibits organizations from releasing personal data under certain circumstances notwithstanding the individual's general right of access to their own personal data, and section 47 of the Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act ("BMSMA"), which requires management corporations to supply information to certain classes of persons.

A "data intermediary" is defined in the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 ("PDPA") as an organization which processes personal data on behalf of another organization but does not include an employee of that organization. In practice, it generally refers to a third party that executes a function for your organization as though it were part of your organization. An example of this is a web hosting service such as Amazon Web Services ("AWS").
