Public sector data protection rules will be followed in managing and protecting personal data collected by the devices.- ST/ANN

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Users who have to don a new monitoring device while they serve out their stay-home notice (SHN) need not fear that their actions will be snooped on, the authorities said on Monday (Aug 3).

The electronic wristbands, which alert the authorities should their wearers stray from their places of residence, do not store any personal data and cannot record any video or audio, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and Ministry of Education (MOE).
