The Mozilla Philippines Community (MozillaPH) supports the stand of the National Privacy Commission (NPC) amidst call from several business groups recommending the suspension of the Data Privacy Act to curb COVID-19 transmission.
We firmly believe that our laws have enough provisions to allow the government to effectively conduct contact tracing, treat patients, and face this threat while securing the personal data and dignity of the Filipino people.
As a community guided by the Mozilla Manifesto, we put people first. We abide by our Data Privacy Principles of (1) No surprises, (2) User control, (3) Limited data, (4) Sensible settings, and (5) Defense in depth.
Privacy is not optional.
MozillaPH is one with the NPC in its call for all of us to move forward the fight against COVID with more evidence-based proposals and solutions.
