(“Affle”), has been awarded the Data Protection Trustmark (DPTM) Certification for a period of three years by the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA).

We at Affle, lay strong emphasis on users’ privacy & data protection through every phase of the engagement lifecycle and this certification makes us part of a selective group of companies that made it to the DPTM. It notably enhances our customers’ trust, builds greater strategic moat, fosters growth and augments our global market position. We thank IMDA for their continued support.”
Commenting on the development, Charles Yong, Chief Architect and Technology Officer of Affle said “Digital marketing & data technologies globally are undergoing extensive privacy shifts.
