Frequently Asked Questions
Republic Act No. 10173 is the Philippines' data protection law. It is implemented through its Implementing Rules and Regulations and issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC), which enforces the law.
Personal information controllers and processors that process personal information in the Philippines, and in certain cases those processing outside the country, such as when the data relates to Philippine citizens or residents.
Some organizations must register their DPO and data processing systems with the NPC, depending on factors such as headcount, the volume of sensitive personal information processed and the risk of the processing. The assessment confirms whether this applies to you.
Where a breach involves sensitive or identity-related information and poses a real risk of serious harm, the NPC and affected data subjects must be notified within 72 hours of knowledge of the breach.
Timing depends on processing complexity, the entities and systems in scope, and how readily evidence is available. QRC confirms a timeline after the scoping call.
