In 2012, the Philippines passed the comprehensive privacy law, Data Privacy Act of 2012 Republic Act. No, 10173 (the "DPA"). The DPA recognizes the rights of individuals to have more control over their personal data while ensuring a free flow of information to promote innovation and growth. The National Privacy Commission (the “NPC''), which was established under the DPA in 2016, issued Implementing Rules and Regulations of the DPA (the “IRR or IRRs” ). The IRRs provide comprehensive details related to lawful processing, data subjects’ rights, organizations’ obligations while processing the personal data of individuals, and lays out penalties for organizations in case of non-compliance with the DPA and IRRs.
