VIII. Rights of data subjects under the Data Privacy Act of 2012?
Under Republic Act No. 10173, or the Data Privacy Act of 2012, individuals whose personal information is collected, stored and processed are called “data subjects”. They are accorded rights and may invoke the law against abuses committed by the receiver of data.

Right to be Informed – means that the data subject has the right to know when his or her personal data shall be, are being, or have been processed. Collection and processing of data without the data subject’s knowledge and explicit consent is made unlawful, and entities in possession of personal data is obligated to inform the data subject of any breaches or compromises in their data.

Right to Object – requires that the consent of the data subject be secured in the collecting and processing of his or her data. It grants the data subject the choice of refusing to consent, as well as the choice to withdraw consent, as regards collection and processing. As earlier stated, any activity involving a data subject’s personal data without his or her consent is deemed illegal.

Right to Access – involves being able to compel any entity possessing any personal data to provide the data subject with a description of such data in its possession, as well as the purposes for which they are to be or are being processed. Furthermore, other details regarding the processing of their information may be obtained, such as the period for which the information will be stored, and the recipients to whom the information may be disclosed. This must be complied with in an easy-to-access format, accompanied by a description in plain language.

Right to Correct or Rectification – allows the data subject to dispute any inaccuracy or error in the personal information processed, and to have the personal information controller correct it immediately. In line with this, the personal information controller must ensure that the new and the retracted information will be accessible, and that third parties who received the erroneous data will be informed, upon the request of the data subject.

Right to Erasure or Blocking –  allows the data subject to suspend, withdraw or order the blocking, removal, destruction of his or her personal information from the personal information controller’s filing system upon discovery and substantial proof that the personal information are incomplete, outdated, false, unlawfully obtained, used for unauthorized purposes or are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected. This is akin to the recognized right to be forgotten.

Right to Damages – entitles the aggrieved data subject to be indemnified for any damages sustained due to inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, false, unlawfully obtained or unauthorized use of his or her personal information.

Right to Data Portability – enables the data subject to obtain and electronically move, copy, or transfer personal data for further use. This also carries out another policy behind the law–ensuring the free flow of personal information.

Right to File a Complaint – if you feel that your personal information has been misused, maliciously disclosed, or improperly disposed, or that any of your data privacy rights have been violated, you have a right to file a complaint.

Transmissibility of Rights of the Data Subject – means that the lawful heirs and assigns of the data subject may invoke the rights of the data subject for, which he or she is an heir or assignee at any time after the death of the data subject or when the data subject is incapacitated or incapable of exercising the rights as enumerated in the immediately preceding section.

IX. Our Commitment to Data Security
We have in place reasonable technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use of your personal data and to keep your personal data confidential. These measures are subject to ongoing review and monitoring.
