Scope and Persons Covered
The Data Privacy Act covers the processing of all types of personal information. A Personal Information Controller, or P I C, is one who controls the collection, holding, processing, or use of personal information. It does not include agents and persons performing the same actions in personal or household affairs. A Personal Information Processor, or P I P, controls, collects, holds, processes, uses, transfers, or discloses personal information as instructed by the P I C.
A transaction between a P I C and another P I C involving personal information is data sharing. A transaction between a P I C and a P I P involving personal information is subcontracting or outsourcing. The notes state that a Data Sharing Agreement is required to be reviewed and approved by the National Privacy Commission, while an outsourcing agreement is not required to be reviewed and approved by the Commission.
