Background
The Data Privacy Act of 2012 or Republic Act No. 10173 (the “DPA”) is the Philippines’ first comprehensive law on data privacy protection. While the DPA has been enacted since 2012 and the Implementing Rules and Regulations (“IRR”) became effective on 9 September 2016, awareness, compliance and enforcement are now beginning to gain momentum after strict implementation of data privacy laws at a global level.
