Document background
The Data Collection Notice is a crucial compliance document required under Philippine data protection law, specifically the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules. This document must be provided to individuals before or at the time of collecting their personal data. It should clearly explain what personal information is being collected, why it's being collected, how it will be used and protected, and who it might be shared with. The notice must be written in clear, understandable language and should include all mandatory disclosures required by the National Privacy Commission. Organizations operating in the Philippines must ensure their Data Collection Notice is readily available and easily accessible to all data subjects.
