Are there conditions required for data sharing in the private sector for commercial purposes?

Yes, data sharing for commercial purposes, which prominently includes direct marketing, must be strictly covered by a formal data sharing agreement. This mandatory agreement must proactively establish adequate and rigorous safeguards to completely protect data privacy and security while upholding the rights of data subjects. Additionally, this binding agreement shall always be subject to the direct review of the National Privacy Commission, either on its own initiative or upon the formal complaint of a data subject. These strict requirements for commercial data sharing are outlined in Section 20 IRR. “2. Data sharing for commercial purposes, including direct marketing, shall be covered by a data sharing agreement. (a) The data sharing agreement shall establish adequate safeguards for data privacy and security, and uphold rights of data subjects. (b) The data sharing agreement shall be subject to review by the Commission, on its own initiative or upon complaint of data subject;” 20-May-26
