LIGHTS ONLINE LEARNING SESSION (OLS):

DATA PRIVACY FUNDAMENTALS

Course Description

This two-day course provides participants with a foundational knowledge of data privacy, particularly in the Philippine context. Anchored by the Data Privacy Act of 2012, it also touches on key topics featured in relevant issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). It offers aspiring data protection officers and privacy practitioners with a clear blueprint from which they can build a sound and effective privacy program. Content-wise, DP Fundamentals is the equivalent of the now-defunct DPO ACE I course of the NPC, and serves as a springboard towards LIGHTS’s more advanced courses (coming soon).
