Q: How must consent be evidenced in the Philippines?

Consent must be freely given, specific, and informed, and should be evidenced by written, electronic, or recorded means, so organisations need to keep records of how consent was obtained.

Consentimiento y protección de datos en Pilipinas

The Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012, enforced by the NPC, is modelled partly on the GDPR and partly on APEC principles. Consent must be freely given, specific, and informed, and it should be evidenced by written, electronic, or recorded means, a fairly strict documentation requirement. The NPC requires many organisations to register their data processing systems and to appoint a Data Protection Officer. The law carries both fines and imprisonment, and the NPC has issued administrative fine guidelines tied to a percentage of annual gross income. Notices in English and Filipino are common. Cookies and online identifiers are personal information needing a lawful basis.
