What are the requirements for data sharing between government agencies?

Data sharing between government agencies specifically for the purpose of a public function or public service must always be covered by a formal data sharing agreement. Any or all government agencies party to this binding agreement must strictly comply with the law, which includes putting in place adequate safeguards for data privacy and security. Furthermore, this data sharing agreement shall be constantly subject to the review of the Commission, either on its own initiative or upon complaint. These explicit rules for intra-government data sharing are found in Section 20 IRR. “d. Data sharing between government agencies for the purpose of a public function or provision of a public service shall be covered a data sharing agreement. 1. Any or all government agencies party to the agreement shall comply with the Act, these Rules, and all other issuances of the Commission, including putting in place adequate safeguards for data privacy and security. 2. The data sharing agreement shall be subject to review of the Commission, on its own initiative or upon complaint of data subject.” 22-May-26
