Cross-border Data Regulation for Digital Platforms: Data Privacy and Security

Aiken Larisa O. Serzo

No DP 2020-47, Discussion Papers from Philippine Institute for Development Studies

Abstract: The rise of digital platforms necessarily entails the processing of personal data between platforms and their users. More than enabling the delivery of services by the platforms, data shared by users has increasingly become valuable as various businesses are able to leverage their access to data in order to create and upsell other services. However, the ability of platforms to engage in cross-border transactions or operations are affected by the stringent requirements of data protection laws, coupled with the divergent regulations among jurisdictions. With the Philippines as an example, this paper points out the salient points in existing data protection regulations and the impact of these principles on both platforms and data subjects.
