Ltd. SUMMARY OF THE DECISION 1. BLS International Services Singapore Pte. Ltd. (the “Organisation”) provides government-to-citizen services for the High Commission of India in Singapore, such as visa and consular services. 2. On 7 July 2020, the Personal Data Protection Commission (the “Commission”) received information that the URLs of the printable version of appointment booking confirmation webpages could be manipulated to access other individuals’ personal data (the “Incident”). The personal data comprised the individual’s name, passport number, contact number, email address, type of service request, booking date/time, appointment date/time, and number of booking applications. 3. The Organisation subsequently requested for this matter to be handled under the Commission’s expedited breach decision procedure. In this regard, the Organisation voluntarily provided and unequivocally admitted to the facts set out in this decision. It also admitted that it was in breach of section 24 of the Personal Dara Protection Act (the “PDPA”). 4. Investigations revealed that on 8 June 2020, which was about a month prior to the Incident, the Organisation had implemented a new booking system for the High Commission of India. Under this new booking system, users who submitted a booking for an appointment at the High Commission of India would be provided with an URL, which led to a printable version of the booking confirmation. In designing the booking system, the Organisation had intended for the URLs to be encrypted. This would have made it more difficult for people to manipulate the URL. However, the encryption was not done properly due to a coding error. Although the Organisation had conducted some testing on the new booking system, the testing was not extensive enough to detect the error. 5.

Ltd. SUMMARY OF THE DECISION 1. The Future of Cooking Pte. Ltd. (the “TFC”) operates an e-commerce website at https://www.thermomix.com.sg (the “Website”), retailing kitchen appliances and accessories. 2. On 3 January 2020, the Personal Data Protection Commission (the “Commission”) received a complaint that a text file (the “File”) containing personal data was accessible via the URL: https://thermomix.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/woocommerce-orderexport-1.csv-1.txt. (the “Incident”). 3. The File contained the personal data of 178 unique individuals who had purchased items from the Website. The File was accessible via the URL from 1 October 2019 until 6 January 2020. It contained the following types of personal data (the “Personal Data”): a. Name; b. Email Address; c. Billing Address; d. Shipping Address; e. Customer Notes (e.g. delivery instructions); f. Order information (such as payment status, mode of payment, and transaction ID); g. Product ID of items; h. Quantity of items ordered; and i. Telephone number. The Commission’s Findings No breach by Hachi as a Data Intermediary 4. TFC had engaged Hachi Web Solutions Pte. Ltd. (“Hachi”) to re-design the Website and also perform data backup and migration. Insofar as the data backup and migration activities are concerned, Hachi was TFC’s data intermediary. The cause of the breach, however, did not relate to the data processing activities but to the Website re-design. Therefore, Hachi was not in breach of the Protection Obligation under section 24 of the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (the “PDPA”) by virtue of its role as a data intermediary. TFC in breach of the Protection Obligation 5. The cause of the data breach may be traced to a WordPress plugin (the “Plugin”) which was installed on the Website.
