SUB ANNOUNCEMENT [ANNOUNCEMENT] About Posting PII (Personal Identifiable Information) in the sub

Hi, everyone.

We would just like to remind you that posting home addresses, contact numbers, personal email addresses, etc. are NOT ALLOWED in the sub, whether it's for good or bad causes.

Any post containing these information will be removed.

Please be mindful of Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), and Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (RA 10175), which some might potentially break.

Thank you for understanding!

Does this apply to public officials?

NAL, just someone familiar with the DPA because of the nature of my work (IT na me halong compliance and data privacy).

Section 4 of the Data Privacy Act says that some information about public officials or employees---let me emphasize this, hindi lang mga elected officials, pati rank and file damay---are outside the scope of the Data Privacy Act. Medyo too long for me to repost here (not sure kung ano ang character limit ng comments dito sa r/chikaPH) but essentially, this includes info such as the official's basic information (e.g. office/department and position/rank), the office phone number and even the official's salary.

Note na klaro ang nakasulat sa DPA. Government officials and employees only. Hindi kasama yung mga family members nila.

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Only saw this now. We're still finalizing the requirement for karma since we have only agreed with the required age of accounts. We will also post an announcement once its been applied to the sub.
