Frequently Asked Questions

Under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), organisations are required to cease retention of personal data when the purpose for which it was collected is no longer being served, and retention is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes.

As part of our commitment to protecting your privacy and maintaining compliance with Singapore's data protection laws, SP Digital is anonymising and purging personal data stored within our own digital platforms that have been inactive for more than 7 years.

Please note that this purge applies only to data managed by SP Digital. Other SP Group entities, such as SP Services (e.g., billing data), may continue to retain personal data in accordance with their own operational, legal, and regulatory requirements.

Data anonymisation means removing all personal identifiable information (such as name, NRIC/FIN, contact details, and address) so that the information can no longer be linked to you.

Once anonymised, the data is no longer considered “personal data” under Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)This data may then be used for purposes such as business analysis or research, without compromising your privacy.

As part of this PDPA compliance exercise, SP Digital will anonymise or purge the personal data of users who have not logged in to the SP App or SP Utilities Portal for more than 7 years.

This applies to your SP login account, which contains your personal information such as name, email address, mobile number, and login credentials. If you have not accessed your account for over 7 years, this information will be removed or anonymised as required by Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

If you had a linked SP utilities account (e.g., for electricity services), your household's consumption and billing records are maintained separately by SP Services and will not be affected by this purge. However, your past payment records (payment methods and transaction dates) tied to your login account will no longer be available once purged.
