Data Privacy Compliance

Data Privacy Compliance is a software module that enables organizations to manage consent records, maintain audit documentation, and adhere to regulatory requirements set by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

In the Philippine real estate industry, you collect sensitive personal information from buyers, sellers, and tenants daily. This includes government-issued IDs, financial records, and contact details. Data Privacy Compliance tools help you handle this information lawfully while avoiding penalties that can reach up to PHP 5,000,000.

Core Features

  • Consent Management – Capture, store, and track data subject consent with timestamps and purpose declarations
  • Audit Trail Documentation – Maintain chronological records of all personal data processing activities
  • Data Subject Request Handling – Process requests for access, correction, erasure, and portability
  • Breach Notification System – Alert mechanisms for reporting security incidents to the NPC within mandated timeframes
  • Retention Policy Enforcement – Automated scheduling for data disposal based on NPC retention guidelines
  • Privacy Impact Assessment Tools – Evaluate risks before launching new data processing activities

Use Cases

Data Privacy Compliance modules work best for:

  • Real estate brokerages managing client databases with lead generation records
  • Property developers storing buyer reservation and payment information
  • Realty hubs processing agent credentials and commission data
  • Marketing teams handling inquiry forms and CRM contact lists

How It Works

  1. Data Collection – When you capture personal information through forms or manual entry, the system logs the consent basis and declared purpose
  2. Processing Controls – Role-based access control restricts who can view or modify personal data
  3. Audit Logging – Every access, modification, or transfer generates a timestamped audit trail entry
  4. Retention Monitoring – The system flags records approaching their retention limit for review or disposal
  5. Reporting – Generate compliance reports for NPC registration and internal audits
