The National Privacy Commission (NPC) invites companies and organizations to apply for accreditation as Accountability Agent for the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System. The APEC CBPR System is voluntary and accountability-based and facilitates data flows that respect privacy among APEC-member economies. The system requires organizations to develop and implement privacy policies and practices for all personal information they have collected or received that is subject to cross-border transfer to other participating APEC members. The Philippines became the ninth member economy participating in the CBPR System in March 2020. As the next step to fully implement the CBPR System in the Philippines, the NPC is currently working towards nominating an Accountability Agent who will certify companies in the APEC CBPR System. Accountability Agents perform a crucial role in the APEC CBPR System by certifying that participating companies or organizations' privacy policies and practices comply with the CBPR System requirements. For more information on the criteria for Accountability Agent recognition, documents for AA recognition are also available on the NPC website (https://lnkd.in/genGJ9PV) Interested organizations must notify the NPC of their intent and submit a completed application for an initial assessment to npc.cbpr@privacy.gov.ph. Any questions concerning the process may be addressed to npc.cbpr@privacy.gov.ph.
