HCDC Data Privacy Commitment
Ex Fide ad Veritatem — From Faith to Truth.
At Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC), we value the trust placed in us by our students, employees, alumni, and partners. Guided by our mission of truth and service, we are fully committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring transparency in all our processes.
In accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, HCDC upholds the highest standards of confidentiality and data protection. We collect and process personal, sensitive, and privileged information only through authorized channels, and solely for legitimate purposes such as student admission, enrollment, academic services, employment management, institutional research, and community development.
All collected data are handled responsibly and securely. We maintain strict access controls, encrypted databases, and secure physical storage to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. When sharing data with government agencies, accrediting bodies, or legitimate partners, HCDC ensures that such disclosures are lawful, minimal, and aligned with our institutional and legal obligations.
We also implement clear guidelines for data retention and disposal. Records are kept only as long as necessary for educational, operational, or legal purposes, and are disposed of safely once the intended purpose has been achieved.
HCDC recognizes and respects the rights of every data subject — including the right to access, correct, and request deletion of personal information, and to be informed of how data is used. Our Data Privacy Officer is ready to address inquiries, requests, and concerns related to data protection and privacy compliance.
Through faith, integrity, and accountability, Holy Cross of Davao College continues to build a secure and transparent digital environment — one where the privacy and trust of our community remain at the heart of our mission
