Abstract

Data privacy law was enacted on the year 2012, otherwise known as RA10173. Its purpose is ensuring a that the flow of communication is available while imposing the due responsibility to ensure that personal data of both government and private sector are protected. The DPA was further strengthen with Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) signed under the Proclamation No.527 s.2018. The National Privacy Commission provided a toolkit which serves as a guide for the implementation of DPA. NPC toolkit provides an assessment on the conduct of impact on data privacy that includes criteria such as a) transparency, b) legitimate purpose, and c) proportionality. This research aims to appraise the level of awareness of implementation of data privacy on the process of grades submission of the faculty to the office of the registrar. Convenience sampling was used to collect the data for all the participants and to determine the results; ANOVA with Repeated Measures was used. The result of the study shows that the level of awareness for Legitimate Purpose and Proportionality is “Very Good”. Among the three (3) areas of PIA, Proportionality shows as the highest among them. Although there is a published data privacy statement on the website, transparency rated as “Good” only since mostly of the participants are not aware who is the designated DPO for ISATU MC.
