About The Course

1. Introduction

Today’s technological advancements have played a big role in the way we live. In fact, with the rise of "Internet of Things," an important question to reflect on is: "how much of our data have we freely given to others?". 

This self-paced course is designed to educate you about the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and the basic policies and recommendations on how data should securely be gathered, stored, and managed. Additionally, this course will educate you about the basic concepts of data compliance and our obligations as owners and handlers of data, particularly sensitive data.

As a basic course, it is best to be taken by individuals who would like to improve their familiarity on the basic concepts surrounding Data Privacy in the Philippine context, as well as employees of companies (up to middle-level managers) whose responsibilities include the proper safeguarding of the sensitive data of their companies, partners, and clients.
