THE National Privacy Commission (NPC) launched today the Philippine Privacy Trust Mark (PPTM), which aims to increase trust and confidence in businesses and public offices, as the mark offers the highest level of assurance on data privacy compliance and secure cross-border data transfers.

'Our launch today of PPTM comes at an opportune time, as we aim to fully embrace digitalization for our economic recovery. This won't be achieved without strengthening the foundation of trust in every action and transaction we make online,' NPC Commissioner Raymund Liboro said.
