The National Privacy Commission (NPC) is inviting Personal Information Controllers (PICs), Personal Information Processors (PIPs), and other interested stakeholders to submit comments, suggestions, and other inputs on the draft Guidelines on the Processing of Personal Data for the Availment of Statutory, Government-Mandated, and Other Special Privileges to be adopted by the NPC.
These guidelines seek to streamline the process for availing statutory, government-mandated, and other special privileges, while minimizing unnecessary or excessive processing of personal data in the course of such availment.
Please refer to the Draft NPC Circular at this link:https://privacy.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Final-draft-Circular-Guidelines-on-the-Processing-of-Personal-Data-for-the-Availment-of-Privileges_18-May-2026.pdf
Send your comments to [email protected] no later than 16 June 2026, with the subject line: βPublic Consultation β Availment of Privileges.β
The NPC will conduct an online public consultation on 25 June 2026 at 2:00 pm. Participants who wish to join the consultation may signify their attendance by sending an email on or before 22 June 2026.

Ikaw ba, alam mong sakop ng Data Privacy Act ang pagproseso ng pangalan? Dahil ang pangalan mo ay itinuturing na personal information.
BUT WAIT... π
Alamin ang kaibahan ng PI at SPI sa ilalim ng batas: βοΈ
βΉοΈ Personal Information - Tumutukoy sa anumang impormasyon na nagpapakita ng pagkakakilanlan ng isang tao, o madaling magagamit upang matukoy ka, gaya ng iyong buog pangalan. Oo, kahit selfie mo, personal information din βyan! πΈ
βΉοΈ Sensitive Personal Information - Ito naman ang mga impormasyong may mas mataas na antas ng proteksyon dahil maaari itong magdulot ng diskriminasyon, identity theft, o fraud kapag na-leak. Kabilang dito ang health records, marital status, educational background, government-issued IDs, financial information, at iba pa. πͺͺ
β οΈTandaan: Ang SPI ay hindi basta-bastang sini-share online. Kapag napunta ito sa maling kamay, maaari itong gamitin sa paggawa ng pekeng accounts, scams, o pagnanakaw ng iyong digital identity.
Gets ba? π
