Strengthening Data Privacy Compliance and Awareness
The MOA aims to elevate data privacy education and promote compliance with the Data Privacy Act (DPA). As part of the agreement, GCash will integrate NPC-provided privacy awareness and educational materials into the app’s Privacy Choices feature, allowing users to better understand their data rights.
To further support the NPC’s mandate, the NPC’s Registration Portal (privacy.gov.ph) will be linked directly to the GCash app. This new feature will streamline the data privacy registration process for entities processing personal data, making compliance easier and more accessible.
Beyond consumer education, GCash is continuously expanding its security measures to protect its users from online scams and fraud.
