Ang privacy dakong hagit karon sa panahon sa Internet, social media, ug computerized databases. Pinaagi sa mga kompyuter, ang bisan unsang impormasyon kabahin sa mga tawo mahimong makolekta ug magamit nga walay pagtugot sa tawo.
Maong gipasar sa atong kagamhanan ang Data Privacy Act, R.A. No. 10173.
Matod sa Section 4 sa maong balaod, “This Act applies to the processing of all types of personal information and to any natural and juridical person involved in personal information processing including those personal information controllers and processors who, although not found or established in the Philippines, use equipment that are located in the Philippines, or those who maintain an office, branch or agency in the Philippines subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph.”
Ang personal information gi-define isip “any information whether recorded in a material form or not, from which the identity of an individual is apparent or can be reasonably and directly ascertained by the entity holding the information, or when put together with other information would directly and certainly identify an individual.”
Kagahapon atong gihatag ang definition sa personal information processor ug personal information controller.
Hinuon, kining mga mosunod walay labot sa coverage sa maong balaod:
