Document background
A Personal Data Notice is a fundamental document required under the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 for any organization that collects and processes personal information. This document must be provided to data subjects before or at the time of data collection, explaining how their personal information will be handled. The notice serves as a transparency tool, detailing the types of data collected, purposes of processing, recipient categories, data subject rights, and security measures implemented. It should be written in clear, simple language and must comply with the requirements set forth by the National Privacy Commission. Organizations operating in the Philippines must ensure their Personal Data Notice is readily available to data subjects and updated regularly to reflect any changes in data processing activities.
