I. Introduction
Welcome to the Brokenshire College. This Privacy Policy (also known as a Privacy Notice) tells you about our policy regarding the data that we collect, use, or otherwise process your data. If you are the parent/legal guardian of an applicant or student (current or former) who is a minor (below 18 years old), understand that this Policy refers to the personal data of your child/ward.
We respect your right to privacy and aim to comply with the requirements of all relevant privacy and data protection laws, particularly the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA). As in the case of the National Privacy Commission (NPC), we also seek to strike a balance between your privacy, and the free flow of information, especially when pursuing our legitimate interests and when necessary to carry out our responsibilities as an educational institution.
These guidelines are promulgated by Brokenshire College per the Data Privacy Act (DPA) of 2012 otherwise known as Republic Act (RA) 10173. This law aims to “protect the fundamental human right of privacy and communication while ensuring free flow of information to promote innovation and growth.”
The DPA is concerned with the protection of “personal data” or “personal information”—a type of data or information, by themselves or collectively, can distinctively identify an individual. Personal information, as used in these guidelines, refer to such things as one’s name, age, address, sex, race, religious or philosophical affiliation, contact information, among others. Personal information, at the hands of the wrong people, may endanger the rights of the person to whom they refer. It is for this reason that the DPA was enacted by Congress and these guidelines are promulgated by the college.
The College is aware that because of its nature as an institution, it is one where a lot of information is collected, generated, stored, transferred, or otherwise processed. The College respects the privacy rights of all persons with whom it comes into contact while being true to its mission as a Christian educational institution committed to achieving academic excellence. In line with the mandate of the National Privacy Commission, the government agency tasked to implement the DPA, Brokenshire College is committed to achieving the twin purposes of the law to safeguard privacy rights as well as allowing for the meaningful and productive exchange of information.
II. Coverage
These guidelines shall apply to all departments, colleges, schools, offices, and units of Brokenshire College and bout its students at all levels. Within the framework of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (R.A. 10173), Brokenshire College is committed to the protection of the privacy of its stakeholders, such as students, faculty, non-teaching staff, and service providers, from whom it collects personal information in the pursuit of its legitimate interests and responsibilities as an academic institution.
III. Purposes for Processing Information
The functions of the college provided by law are numerous and the processing of students’ personal information is necessary to perform these functions. These functions include those required by law, pertinent memorandum orders of the Commission on Higher Education, contractual obligations of the college with private and public entities, and other obligations of the college following public safety, health, and order. These functions include, but are not limited to:
- Enrolment and admissions;
- Processing of grades and maintaining transcripts of records;
- Co-ordination with law enforcement agencies on security and safety matters;
- Processing permits for student organization activities, outreaches, retreats, and field trips;
- Information logs at entry and exit points of the university;
- Data-gathering for statistics and research;
- Public information, e.g. newsletters, advisories, and articles on the university website and social media;
- Processing and granting of scholarships to qualified applicants;
- Alumni records;
- Sharing of graduates’ information to prospective employers.
IV. Personal Information Processed
Personal information gathered, generated, recorded, received, or used by the college takes on many forms, including written records, photographs, videos, sound recordings, and other electronic forms. These vary according to the type of information processed, the purpose for which it is gathered, and the length of time required for their purpose.
Personal Information Collected During Admissions Process
Upon application for enrolment by a new or continuing student, we collect a variety of information including, but not exclusive to name, age, citizenship, the residence of origin, religious affiliation, phone number, e-mail address, and other contact details. The college also collects previous school records, medical records, and other personal circumstances. This is done online through the online enrolment mechanism available on the Brokenshire College website (https://www.brokenshire.edu.ph) or when the student fills up the enrolment form that is submitted to the admissions office.
Personal Information Collected or Generated While in Brokenshire College
In the course of a student’s stay in Brokenshire College, additional information is collected or generated by the appropriate units of the college, including the following:
a. Academic performance information, e.g. attendance records, scores, grades;
b. CCTV recordings and photographs by security cameras in the campuses and premises of the University;
c. Disciplinary records and/or involvement in incidents;
d. Membership in student organizations;
e. Details of co-curricular activities, e.g. internship, on-the-job pieces of training, apprenticeships, service-learning, and other college-sanctioned extension services;
f. Attendance in outreach activities, seminars, workshops, or lectures;
g. Details provided during application for permits.
Personal Information Volunteered by Third Parties
Information about students given to the college by third parties is retained and used if they are relevant to the educational purpose, the welfare of the student, and other legitimate and interests of the college. If not, they will be disposed of in a manner that will protect the privacy of the student concerned. For example, in case of an accident, a student’s emergency contact person may provide information not previously available to the college but would be helpful during the treatment of the student.
V. Storage of Information
Personal information is stored in various databases, media, and forms. Even as the college continues with its project to digitize its databases through the Management Information System, personal data is also stored in paper forms across different units and offices. Duplication is not unusual as several offices may store the same or similar sets of information for purposes of coordination. The permanence of these databases also varies across offices depending on their functions. For example, transcripts of records are permanent records. As such, the college will retain them for as long as the law requires. Meanwhile, information that is only temporarily needed will be disposed of as soon as its temporary purpose has expired.
All units of the college that store or handle personal information are required to implement physical, technical, and organizational security measures to ensure the safe storage of personal information and to ensure that such is used only by authorized personnel for legitimate purposes.
VI. Sharing of Information
The College is committed to observing the limits of law in the sharing, disclosure, and transfer of students’ data among its offices as well as to third-party organizations or persons. In general, sharing of personal information is limited to educational, administrative, research, and statistical purposes. Instances when sharing of information is done include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Confirmation requests from prospective employers that a student has studied in Brokenshire;
- Evaluation of academic, co-curricular, and extra-curricular achievements for determining honor students and other awards;
- Sharing of academic records between registrar/records section for evaluation of scholarship criteria;
- Remittance of information as required by law to government regulatory bodies, e.g. Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education, Bureau of Immigration re: foreign students, etc.;
- Conducting surveys and other research methods for statistical purposes;
- Sharing of information to entities or organizations for the enrichment of learning, e.g. conferences with national student organizations;
- Documentation of student activities by photograph, video, and/or written reports;

- Communications, advisories, news articles posted on the website and/or social media;
- Office memos and other office-to-office communications; and
- Compliance of court or quasi-judicial agency orders and/or subpoenas on documents and other information.
VII. Amendments
The Board of Trustees, in consultation with the National Privacy Commission, the Office of the College President, the college’s Data Privacy Officer, and concerned units of the college may make amendments, revisions, or modifications to these guidelines. Such changes to these guidelines are effective upon their publication by the Office of Information and Publication.
VIII. Inquiries, Feedback & Complaints
The college designates a Data Privacy Officer in the name of ENGR. ALBERTO S. REVILLA. The Office of the Data Privacy Officer is the primary unit of the college to whom inquiries, complaints, comments, or any feedback may be addressed.

Introduction
Welcome to the Brokenshire College. This Privacy Policy (also known as Privacy Notice) tells you about our policy when we collect, use, or otherwise process your data, concerning your engagement with the college.
We respect your right to privacy and aim to comply with the requirements of all relevant privacy and data protection laws, particularly the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA). As in the case of the National Privacy Commission (NPC), we also seek to strike a balance between your privacy, and the free flow of information, especially when pursuing our legitimate interests and when necessary to carry out our responsibilities as an educational institution, employer, and/or as a contracting party.
In this Policy, the terms, “data” and “information” are used interchangeably. When we speak of “personal data”, the term includes the concepts of personal information, sensitive personal information, and privileged information. The first two are typically used to distinctively identify you. For their exact definitions, you may refer to the text of the DPA or you can visit the website of the college Data Protection Officer. You should also note that while we give examples here to explain this Policy in simple and clear language, they do not make up an exhaustive list of all the data that we process.

We collect your data in many forms. They may consist of written records, photographic and video images, digital material, and even biometric records. Examples include:

We understand that the DPA imposes stricter rules for the processing of sensitive personal information and privileged information, and we are fully committed to abiding by those rules.

In retaining your personal information, we generally subscribe to the following schedule:
Employees. One year (1) from the day of your separation from the college or the termination of your employment, after which your employment records (e.g., 201 file) in HRMD are transferred to the college Archives, subject to applicable college policies.
