Use
The collected personal information shall be utilized solely for documentation, communication, and attendance-recording purposes within the PEAC; and shall be shared with the Department of Education only. Except for item no. 5 in the preceding enumeration, the personal information collected shall be used as is and shall not be subject to additional processing before and after the stated purposes. Photo, audio and/or video recording of the participants during the proceedings shall be kept by the PEAC for documentation and these may be subject to editing, duplication, distribution, and publication in support of the GASTPE programs.
Protection Measures
Only authorized PEAC and DepEd personnel shall have access to the personal information collected. Electronic transmittal shall be done using official PEAC communications media only. Print-outs shall be handled by authorized PEAC personnel only.

At the end of the retention period, hard copies shall be disposed of through shredding, while digital files shall be anonymized or otherwise destroyed through the use of secure digital technology.
Access, Correction and Erasure
Every participant has the right to ask for a copy of any personal information that PEAC holds about him/her, as well as to ask for it to be corrected if he/she thinks it is erroneous. Also, the participant may request for the complete erasure of his or her personal information from PEAC’s servers. To do so, and for any other matters relating to the processing of personal data, he/she may contact Mr. Butch Evarola, [email protected].
