DATA PRIVACY ACT REFLECTION PAPER

The Data Privacy Act is concerned with the protection of workers' personal
information and sensitive personal information, as defined in the RA. It also lists the
data subjects' rights and the penalties that will apply if we violate the law. The Data
Privacy Act is a good thing that aims to preserve citizens' privacy and is particularly
concerned with individual privacy. The government should vigorously adopt and enforce
this law. The presence of the act demonstrates that we should be cautious when
sharing information, particularly personal information that may be used against us,
particularly on the internet where information about us is required.

This act deems it the State's policy to defend the fundamental human right to
privacy in communication. The State acknowledges the critical significance of
information and communications technology in nation building and its inherent
commitment to maintain the security and protection of personal information in
government and private sector information and communications systems. It also
includes the right to data portability, which allows users to view their personal data
and move it from one service provider to another.

Information is critical, and risks are constantly present. The Data Privacy Act
is critical because it protects and secures information and communication systems for
both the government and the private sector for the benefit of citizens. With the
evolution of technology and information, this act is one of the most important laws
that protects the public and secures against criminals who take advantage of and
reward others. As a result, passing and enacting this law is entirely appropriate. It is
proper to get agreement for the various types of information being gathered so that
we have control over our information and that no such sensitive information is forced
fully obtained from us. Citizens will have peace of mind knowing that there is a
legislation and a committee in place to tackle emerging threats and processes with a
legal foundation.
