DATA PRIVACY PROJECT


The Data Privacy Project is a multi-phase project designed to assist government in developing the Philippines' legal framework for data privacy regulation. CPCAP’s role is to act as (1) a catalyst and for and facilitator of stakeholder involvement in data privacy policy formulation; and (2) an information resource to help private sector understand data privacy regulation and assist government in crafting data privacy policy.

+ To initiate the project, CPCAP is currently conducting a Data Privacy Survey that seeks to determine the stakeholders’ understanding of data privacy and their views on if and how it should be regulated.

+ CPCAP is preparing a Data Privacy Brief that explains data privacy regulation in simple terms and compares the various regulatory approaches being implemented throughout the world.

+ The project includes advocacy for a data privacy law and continuing assistance to Congress in improving data privacy bills that have been filed and those that are about to be filed.
