Document background
The Intra Group Data Sharing Agreement is essential for organizations operating multiple entities within the Philippines or having Philippine entities sharing data with international group companies. This document becomes necessary when group entities need to share personal data, customer information, employee data, or other sensitive information while maintaining compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and related Philippine regulations. It establishes clear protocols for data sharing, defines security standards, and allocates responsibilities among group entities. The agreement is particularly crucial for multinational companies with Philippine operations, as it bridges local compliance requirements with global data sharing needs. This document should be implemented before any systematic sharing of personal or sensitive data begins between group entities, and should be reviewed periodically to ensure continued compliance with evolving data protection regulations.
