Singapore's data landscape is legally defined by the exclusion of public agencies from the principal data protection law (PDPA), which creates significant disparities in data handling between the government and private entities. The national push for a "Smart Nation" integrates massive data collection through ubiquitous IoT sensors and mandatory programs like the contact tracing app TraceTogether and GPS-based quarantine monitoring. This environment fosters public acceptance, often prioritizing convenience and security over core privacy rights, even as incidents, such as the police accessing tracing data, trigger public debate over governmental trust and potential surveillance overreach.
