SINGAPORE – The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) is investigating a possible data breach involving PAP Community Foundation (PCF) Sparkletots, after a vendor informed the pre-school that information including details of pupils and parents was accessed without authorisation.
The school’s management notified parents and guardians of the potential breach in a letter dated June 1, seen by The Straits Times.
PCF Sparkletots said in the letter that the “potential data security incident” involved its vendor LittleLives, adding that “a portion” of the pupil management system used by the school was accessed without authorisation.
A spokesperson for PCF Sparkletots, in a response to ST’s queries, said on June 2 that based on a preliminary report, the unauthorised access has been contained. The school had been informed of the incident by LittleLives, said the spokesperson.
“At this stage, there is no confirmation that any data has been viewed, downloaded or misused,” added the spokesperson.
PCF Sparkletots’ letter to parents did not contain further details on the party behind the breach, when the incident occurred, or when LittleLives alerted the school to the matter.
