The General Privacy Notice serves as a fundamental document for organizations operating in the Philippines to comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and related regulations. It is essential for any entity that collects, processes, or stores personal information of individuals in the Philippines. The notice must be provided to data subjects and typically covers the organization's data collection practices, processing purposes, sharing procedures, security measures, and data subject rights. This document is particularly crucial given the strict enforcement stance of the National Privacy Commission and the significant penalties for non-compliance with Philippine privacy laws. Organizations should maintain an updated General Privacy Notice that reflects current data handling practices and regulatory requirements, making it available to data subjects through appropriate channels.
