Do you think the Data Privacy Act of 2012 does not violate our freedom of speech and freedom of expression?

Data Privacy Act of 2012 does not violate the freedom of speech and freedom of expression, because in every people they have a freedom to speech if ever it is a bad or good in the way to express on how to impress the true expression of what they talking about that they can’t forget what happen so that it does not violated.

Among the rights of a Data Subject, which do you consider as the two (2) most important rights? Why?

The rights of Data Subject, I consider as the two most important rights is the ff.

Right to be informed it is the first most important right that the data subject has a right to be informed whether personal data pertaining to him or her shall be, are being or have been processed, including the existence of automated decision-making and profiling . Most of all, without the right to be informed, the privacy of a data subject in terms of his/her personal data is violated.

Right to rectification it is the second most important right that the data subject has a right to dispute the inaccuracy or error in the personal data and have the personal information controller correct it immediately and accordingly, unless the request is vexatious or otherwise unreasonable. If the personal data has been corrected, the personal information controller shall ensure the accessibility of both the new and the retracted information and the simultaneous receipt of the new and retracted information by intended recipients. We have to remember that when a personal data turned out to be inaccurate or incomplete, there comes the possibility of harm and damages to occur especially towards the data subject. Therefore, the right to rectification is really essential for the data subject to have his/her inaccurate data is corrected and completed preventing any harm and damages to happen.

In Data Privacy Act of 2012, when do you consider a person as a Data Subject? Provide an example situation.

I consider a person as a Data Subject when he/she gives off his/her personal data. One example is my friend who applied in a bank to have her own account and her purpose is to have a savings account. The bank gave her a form to fill up and she filled it up which means she had given her personal data making her a data subject.

Explain why the cost to identify and remove a defect in the early stages of software development might be 100 times less than cost of removing a defect in software that has been distributed to hundreds of customers.

The cost to identity and to remove a defect in the early stages of software development is to be careful to process so that they can’t take the defect and they can prevent by not selling to the customers where they what to development a software. They can develop by a quality software in the main time to less the defect and if they cant solve this issue customers will gonna lost.

Identity the three criteria you consider to be most important in a quality system. Briefly discuss your rationale for selecting these criteria.

The three criteria i can consider to be most important in a quality system, first is quality or quality software essentially if it is bad or good quality, second is price if the customer has a budget doesn’t mean buying cheap is necessarily the way to go, third is service after the sale quality and price are both important factors, but you need to consider them alongside service after the sale to get the full picture.
