The Rights of Data Subjects
Transmissibility of Data Subject Rights
The practical need for transmissibility
An individual’s personal data lives on even after his death. As such, they could still be subject to privacy violations whether intentional or otherwise. The Data Privacy Act of 2012 included this provision to protect their privacy rights through a living person willing to assume the responsibility on their behalf. The transmissibility of data privacy rights has been extended to living adults who are unable to protect their own rights and wish to assign the responsibility to someone else.How to execute
Data subjects who are alive but incapacitated, and for some reason are unable to assert their own personal privacy rights but wish to authorize a “legal assignee” to act as their proxy may do so by executing a legal notice to the effect, such as through a Special Power of Attorney. In case of a deceased data subject, the legal heir must be prepared to show legal evidence to back their claim. Parents or guardians automatically assume the responsibility of protecting the privacy rights of minors under their care.Limitation on Rights
The provisions of the law regarding transmissibility of rights and the right to data portability will not apply if the processed personal data are used only for the needs of scientific and statistical research and, based on such, no activities are carried out and no decisions are taken regarding the data subject. There should also be an assurance that the personal data will be held under strict confidentiality and used only for the declared purpose.
They will not also apply to the processing of personal data gathered for investigations in relation to any criminal, administrative or tax liabilities of a data subject. Any limitations on the rights of the data subject should only be to the minimum extent necessary to achieve the purpose of said research or investigation.
How to File a Complaint
Subject to Rule X of the NPC's 2021 Rules of Procedure, data subjects who are the subject of a privacy violation or personal data breach may file complaints for violations of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
