Document background
The Global Privacy Notice is a fundamental document required for organizations operating under Philippine jurisdiction that process personal data. It serves as a comprehensive transparency tool, mandated by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. This document becomes necessary when organizations collect, process, or store personal data, especially in cases involving cross-border data transfers or global operations. The notice must detail the organization's data processing activities, security measures, data subject rights, and compliance mechanisms with both Philippine and relevant international privacy laws. It should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in data processing practices, regulatory requirements, or organizational structure. The Global Privacy Notice is particularly crucial for organizations with international operations or those processing data of individuals from multiple jurisdictions, as it needs to balance compliance with Philippine privacy laws while addressing international privacy standards and requirements.
