What We Do
As an educational institution, SLU collects, processes, and stores information about its employees, applicants, students, parents and guardians, alumni, service providers, and other individuals for a variety of purposes. It is the policy of SLU that whatever information it gathers will be collected, processed and stored pursuant to the general principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality, as mandated by Republic Act No. 10173 or the Data Privacy Act (DPA) of 2012, its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), and other relevant data privacy issuances by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
