The Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012, was created by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) which aims to protect the fundamental human right to privacy and ensure free flow of information. Entities and corporations must prioritize protecting personal information to uphold the rights of individuals and avoid potential legal repercussions. This law applies to any entity, regardless of size or industry, and must comply with the requirements.

- Consent. One must obtain consent from individuals before collecting, processing, and storing their personal information. An entity must be transparent about its data collection practices and allow individuals to opt-out or withdraw their consent.
- Data Protection. This involves how an entity implements appropriate measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use.
