Document background
A Data Processing Notice is a fundamental document required under the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 for organizations that collect and process 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 multiple purposes: it ensures compliance with Philippine privacy laws, builds trust with data subjects, and demonstrates transparency in data processing activities. Organizations must maintain and regularly update their Data Processing Notice to reflect any changes in their data processing activities and ensure continued compliance with regulatory requirements. The document should be written in clear, understandable language and be easily accessible to all data subjects.
