Hosting providers and business-services teams in the freeport and Clark Global City process personal data for clients at home and abroad; schools and training providers inside the zone keep student records; and employers of every size hold staff files. The City Government of Angeles issues business permits through its electronic system, but compliance with the Act is overseen by the National Privacy Commission, as the Philippines page explains.
