DPDP Act Explained: What Every Business Needs to Know

Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act) is India’s comprehensive law governing the processing of digital personal data, balancing individuals’ rights to privacy with the need for lawful data use. It sets obligations for data handlers and rights for citizens.

“India saw over 67,000 data breach incidents in 2023 alone.”

As cyber threats rise, protecting customer data is no longer just an IT problem  -  it’s a business imperative.

The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, introduced in 2023, is India’s first comprehensive law focused on safeguarding personal data. It marks a turning point for how businesses collect, store, and use consumer information.

Empowering Filipinos: A Privacy Awakening

In an era where digital innovation intersects with daily life, the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines is spearheading a transformative initiative aimed at fortifying the understanding and implementation of data privacy across the nation. This year, the NPC is set to elevate privacy awareness, making it a cornerstone of every Filipino's digital experience.  

Bridging the Privacy Education Gap

Expanding Privacy Education Beyond the Capital Deputy Commissioner Leandro Angelo Aguirre announced the NPC's ambitious plan to democratize privacy education across the Philippines. By decentralizing the Data Privacy Foundational Course, the NPC intends to make privacy education accessible to professionals nationwide, transcending the confines of Metro Manila.   A Practical Approach to Data Privacy Aguirre emphasized the practicality of the upcoming data privacy course, designed to resonate with professionals from various fields. This initiative underscores the NPC's commitment to embedding privacy awareness into the fabric of Filipino professional life.  

A Nationwide Crusade for Privacy Awareness

Leveraging Privacy Awareness Week The NPC targets the release of course materials in time for Privacy Awareness Week in May, a strategic move aimed at maximizing outreach. This will enable organizations across the country to harness NPC resources for conducting their own training sessions, thus amplifying the campaign's impact.   Creating a Culture of Data Protection By fostering a widespread understanding of data privacy, the NPC aspires to cultivate a safer digital environment for Filipinos. Aguirre's vision of a privacy-aware Philippines hinges on the collective effort to enhance knowledge on data protection, a critical step towards safeguarding the nation's digital future.  

The NPC's Role in Shaping the Digital Landscape

Upholding Data Privacy and Compliance The NPC's mission extends beyond education to the enforcement of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA). By regulating the collection, storage, and use of personal information, the NPC ensures that individuals retain control over their data, aligning the Philippines with international data protection standards.   Addressing the Surge in Data Breaches With the digital age comes the heightened risk of data breaches. The NPC's proactive stance in investigating complaints, conducting investigations, and issuing sanctions showcases its dedication to reinforcing data security practices.   The Emphasis on Personal Information Controllers (PICs) The NPC places significant emphasis on the accountability of PICs, mandating the implementation of robust data protection measures. The NPC prioritizes improving data processing quality and security in the country.   Sources: THX News & Philippine News Agency. Read the full article
