In accordance with the Department of Education’s (DepEd) mandate to protect
and promote the right to and access to quality basic education, DepEd collects
various data and information, including personal information, from various
subjects using different systems.
In the processing of these data and information, DepEd-Division of Pagadian
City (Division) is committed to ensure the free flow of information as required
under the Freedom of Information Act (Executive Order No. 2, s. 2016) and to
protect and respect the confidentiality and privacy of these data and
information as required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No.
10173).
WHAT WE COLLECT.
We collect basic information about you by asking you
to sign our official log book and requiring you to deposit a proof of identity
(ID) for verification purposes. For those with vehicles, we take note of your
vehicle plate number and ask you to deposit your driver’s license or any other
valid ID. Video footage is also being recorded via a CCTV system installed in
all campus entry and exit points.
WHY WE COLLECT THEM.
While we collect the data primarily as a security
measure, they also help us investigate reported violations of Division and
school policies and other applicable laws, and generate statistics useful for
planning and service improvement purposes.
HOW WE USE, STORE, AND RETAIN THEM.
Your data are kept in a place
inside the Division or school where at least one security personnel is on-duty
24/7. Only authorized Division, school and security personnel have access to
them. We dispose of the log books two (2) years from the date of collection,
unless required by law to retain them for a longer period. CCTV footages, on
the other hand, are stored for thirty (30) days before being automatically
deleted. We do NOT transfer or share your personal data with other persons
or organizations, unless required or permitted by law.
