What are the general data privacy principles regarding the collection of personal information?
The processing of personal information must strictly adhere to the fundamental principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality. Personal information must be carefully collected for specified and legitimate purposes determined and declared before, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, its collection. Additionally, the acquired data must be processed fairly and lawfully, ensuring it remains accurate, relevant, and properly kept up to date. These foundational and non-negotiable principles for handling personal data are permanently enshrined in Section 11 Data Privacy Act. “SEC. 11. General Data Privacy Principles. – The processing of personal information shall be allowed, subject to compliance with the requirements of this Act and other laws allowing disclosure of information to the public and adherence to the principles of transparency, legitimate purpose and proportionality.
