Data Privacy Act Compliance (RA 10173)
Teacher: Bianca del Rosario
About this course
The Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) governs how Philippine organizations collect, use, and store personal information, and HR departments sit at the center of that risk because they handle sensitive employee data every day. This course translates the law's principles into everyday HR practice, from onboarding forms to payroll files to disciplinary records.
You will learn how the National Privacy Commission (NPC) expects organizations to behave, how to respond when something goes wrong, and how to build habits that keep employee trust intact.
- Explain the scope and key definitions of RA 10173
- Apply the criteria for lawful, fair, and transparent processing of personal data
- Identify sensitive personal information commonly found in HR and payroll records
- Respond to data subject requests such as access, correction, and erasure
- Execute the required steps of a personal data breach response
- Describe the role and responsibilities of a Data Protection Officer (DPO)

4.5Finally a course that explains the Data Privacy Act using actual HR scenarios instead of just quoting the law. The breach response checklist alone was worth it.
I manage 201 files for a mid-sized BPO and this course clarified exactly which documents count as sensitive personal information. Very applicable.
Bianca explains the DPO's role so clearly that our management finally understood why we needed to register with the NPC. Recommended for every HR head.
Solid content, especially the module on data subject rights. I wish there was a downloadable template for the access request log mentioned in the video.
The 72-hour breach notification walkthrough gave our team a real action plan instead of vague advice. Already shared it with our IT security lead.
Good foundational overview but I was hoping for more depth on cross-border data transfer rules for our offshore payroll provider.
