GCash, the country’s leading finance super app, signed an agreement with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) to enhance data privacy awareness and provide data privacy-related educational resources across the Philippines.
The mobile wallet said that in line with its mission to provide secure and accessible financial solutions, it aims to inform and educate its users on data privacy by utilizing the app’s features to effectively reach more Filipinos.
“This MOA with NPC underscores our commitment to upholding the highest standards of data privacy and security, strengthening the trust and confidence of our users,” said Ren-Ren Reyes, president and chief executive of G-Xchange Inc.
“We look forward to implementing robust measures in increasing awareness on data privacy by providing the tools and knowledge that Filipinos need to make informed decisions in safeguarding their personal information. Through public-private collaborations, we aim to foster a secure digital environment for all,” NPC commissioner John Henry Naga said.
The MOA aims to elevate data privacy education and promote compliance with the Data Privacy Act (DPA). As part of the agreement, GCash will incorporate NPC-provided privacy awareness and educational materials into the app’s privacy choices feature, allowing its users to learn about the DPA.
The agreement reinforces GCash’s vision of creating a secure digital landscape and promoting financial inclusion. By equipping users with privacy tools and educational resources, the collaboration aims to empower individuals to navigate the digital economy securely and confidently.
