Document background
The Consent And Privacy Notice is a crucial document required under Philippine data protection law, specifically the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173). It should be used whenever an organization collects, processes, or stores personal information from individuals in the Philippines. This document combines both the consent mechanism required for lawful data processing and the privacy notice obligations mandated by law. It must be presented to data subjects before any data collection occurs and should be updated whenever there are significant changes to data processing practices. The document must comply with the National Privacy Commission's guidelines and should be written in clear, understandable language while covering all legally required disclosures about data collection, processing, storage, sharing, and protection measures.
