What is the difference between RA 10173(DPA 2012) and GDPR in terms of the Rights of data subjects

[fading cairn]

The Rights of data subjects in the Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA 2012), and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) have some similarities but also notable differences. Here are a few key points:

1. Scope: The DPA 2012 applies to the Philippines, while the GDPR is applicable to the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries. However, the GDPR may also apply to organizations outside the EU/EEA if they process personal data of EU/EEA residents.

2. Rights of data subjects: Both regulations lay out several rights for data subjects. Some common rights include the right to be informed, right of access to personal data, right to rectification, right to erasure, right to restrict processing, right to data portability, and right to object to processing.

3. Consent: Under the GDPR, explicit consent is generally required for data processing, while the DPA 2012 does not explicitly state that consent must be explicit, but it should be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.

4. Age of consent: The GDPR sets the age of consent for processing personal data of children at 16, unless member states lower it to a minimum of 13. In contrast, the DPA 2012 requires parental consent for processing personal data of children under 13, unless a lower age is allowed by applicable law.

5. Territorial applicability: The GDPR has extraterritorial applicability, meaning it can apply to organizations even outside the EU/EEA if they offer goods or services to EU/EEA residents or monitor their behavior. The DPA 2012 primarily focuses on personal data processing within the Philippines.

It is important to note that this is not an exhaustive list, and both regulations have more provisions and nuances. For detailed and up-to-date information, it's best to refer to the official texts of RA 10173 (DPA 2012) and the GDPR or consult legal experts familiar with these legislations.
