MANILA, Philippines — The National Privacy Commission is now gearing towards a stricter regulatory environment, with penalties ranging up to P4 million in fines per incident of violation and up to seven years imprisonment. Consultation on the draft circular with the private sector was finished last week. The final NPC circular is expected to be out very soon outlining the administrative fines on data privacy violations by personal information controllers (those who makes the decision) and processors (those who process the data) for all organizations in the Philippines. It’s time to get ready and compliant with the Data Privacy Law.
To help you on this, the Center for Global Best Practices is hosting two-session webinars from 1:30 to 4:45 p.m. via ZOOM:
How to develop a data privacy management system and manual, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 15 and 16.
How to prepare privacy impact assessment, Wednesday and Thursday, September 8 and 9.
Both programs will feature data privacy compliance expert John Macasio, who is a trainer and a consultant at the Information and Communications Technology Literacy and Competency Development Bureau of the Department of Information and Communications Technology.
Enrollment is open to the general public and is highly recommended for personal information controllers (business owners, board directors, CEOs/ COOs, GMs, administrators, policy and decision- makers), personal information processors (everyone who process information), data protection officers, lawyers and consultants who would like to add these learnings to their list of services.
