Debunking Myths about DMA
Myth 1: DMA is meant to track my online activities and spy on me.
DMA is not intended to spy on students. DMA does not track the following:
Login IDs and passwords,
Activities and date (e.g. posts, online comments, shopping cart, etc.) when visiting websites and using apps
Documents and photos stored in the PLD
PLD location
Webcam videos and microphone recordings
Information on your online activity such as URLs accessed by your PLD will be captured to allow for the filtering of harmful online content.
Myth 2: DMA will have access to all my personal information and files stored on the PLD.
Your personal identifiable data like passwords, addresses and identification number will not be stored.
Your activities on the websites are not captured.
DMA does not allow MOE, your school, or your teachers to remotely access folders or files on your PLD.
Myth 3: Anyone can easily access my personal data that is collected by DMA.
All user data collected by MOE will be stored in secure servers managed by authorised personnel.
The government has put in place personal data protection laws and policies to safeguard sensitive data collected by public agencies.
