Data Privacy- This refers to data privacy, which is the right of individuals to control how their personal

information is collected, processed, and used. It ensures that their data is handled lawfully,
transparently, and only with their consent, safeguarding it from misuse or unauthorized access.

Consent and Transparency: personal data can only be processed if the individual has given their clear
consent. Additionally, individuals must be fully informed about how their data will be collected, used,
and shared, ensuring that they have a complete understanding before giving their approval. This
promotes trust and protects individual rights.

Data Subject Rights: Data subject is the individual who owns or relates to the personal information.
They have rights over how their data is collected, used, and processed, including the ability to access,
correct, or request deletion of their data. Organizations must respect and protect the data subject's
rights when handling their personal information.

Accountability: Accountability means that organizations are responsible for ensuring the security of
personal data. They must implement proper safeguards to protect the data from breaches or misuse
and appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee compliance with data protection laws, ensuring
that personal information is handled responsibly and ethically.

Security of Personal Data: Security of personal data requires organizations to protect individuals'
information by implementing secure storage methods, such as encryption, and limiting access to only
authorized personnel. These measures help prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and misuse,
ensuring that personal data remains confidential and secure.

Breach Notification: If breach notification requirements are not properly observed, the organization
may face serious consequences, including legal penalties, fines, and sanctions from regulatory bodies
like the National Privacy Commission (NPC). The organization could also suffer reputational damage, lose
customer trust, and become vulnerable to lawsuits from affected individuals. Failure to comply with
data protection laws can result in significant financial and operational setbacks for the organization.

Importance of data privacy in the criminal justice system. Data privacy is crucial in the criminal justice
system because it protects people's rights and keeps sensitive information secure. It ensures that
personal data, such as evidence or witness information, is handled carefully and only shared with
authorized people. This helps maintain trust in the system, ensures fair investigations, and prevents
misuse of private information.

Reasons why data privacy is crucial in this sector:

The right to privacy ensures that the personal information of suspects, victims, and witnesses is kept
confidential. This protection helps safeguard their fundamental rights, preventing misuse or
unauthorized access to their data. Laws like the Data Privacy Act of 2012 ensure that individuals' privacy
is respected and maintained within the criminal justice system.

Preventing Evidence Tampering: Preventing evidence tampering is essential in the criminal justice
system. Strict data privacy measures help ensure that critical case information remains confidential and
secure. By protecting this information, organizations can maintain the integrity of the chain of custody,
which is crucial for the validity of evidence in court. When evidence is kept confidential and
untampered, it strengthens the credibility of the judicial process and supports fair outcomes in legal
proceedings.

Access Due to Negligence:

Access due to negligence" refers to a situation where someone gains unauthorized access to sensitive
information or systems because another party failed to take proper precautions or responsibilities. This
negligence can occur through:

Improper disposal of personal data refers to the failure to securely and responsibly eliminate sensitive
information when it is no longer needed. This can happen in several ways, including:

1. Inadequate Shredding: Simply throwing away documents containing personal information


without shredding them, making it easy for unauthorized individuals to access that data.
2. Unsecured Digital Deletion: Deleting files from a computer or device without permanently
erasing them, allowing for potential recovery by someone with the right tools.
3. Neglecting Data Storage Devices: Disposing of hard drives, USBs, or other storage devices
without properly wiping them clean, which can lead to data breaches if the devices are
recovered.
4. Failure to Follow Procedures: Not adhering to established protocols for data disposal, which
could include specific methods for destroying physical documents or securely erasing digital
data.

Malicious disclosure refers to the intentional sharing or leaking of sensitive or confidential


information with the intent to cause harm, damage, or gain an unfair advantage. This type of
disclosure can occur in various forms, including:

Data breach notification failure occurs when an organization fails to inform affected
individuals, regulatory authorities, or relevant stakeholders about a data breach in a timely and
appropriate manner. This failure can have several implications, including:
