How Does Blancco Help Organizations Comply with the Philippines Data Privacy Act?

What is the Philippines Data Privacy Act?

The Philippines Data Privacy Act was implemented in 2012 “to protect the fundamental human right of privacy.”

The National Privacy Commission, created to overseen and enforce compliance with the Act in March 2016, drafted rules and regulations of the Act (known as “IRRs”). The IRRs require all entities involved in data processing to develop procedures for the collection and retention of personal data.
