 PRIVACY POLICY
for Applicants, Students, and Alumni

Introduction

Welcome to the Ateneo de Manila University. 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 personal
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 personal 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.

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
University Data Protection Office. 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.

Information We Collect, Acquire, or Generate

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

a. Information you provide us during your application for admission. When you apply with us for
admission, we collect, among others: (1) directory information, like your name, email
address, telephone number, and other contact details; (2) data about your personal
circumstances, such as your family background, history, and other relevant circumstances,
previous schools attended, academic performance, disciplinary record, employment record,
and medical records; and (3) and any or all information obtained through interviews and/or
during entrance tests or admission examinations.

b. Information we collect or generate after enrolment and during the course of your stay with us. After
you join the University, we may also collect additional information about you, including: (1)
your academic or curricular undertakings, such as the classes you enroll in, scholastic
performance, attendance record, etc.; (2) co-curricular matters you may engage in, such as
service learning, outreach activities, internship or apprenticeship compliance; (3) your extra-
curricular activities, such as membership in student organizations, leadership positions, and
participation and attendance in seminars, competitions, programs, outreach activities, and
study tours; and (4) any disciplinary incident that you may be involved in, including
accompanying sanctions. There will also be times when we will acquire other forms of data
like pictures or videos of activities you participate in, via official documentation of such

Page 1 of 4
 activities, or through recordings from closed-circuit security television cameras installed
within school premises.

c. Unsolicited Information. There may be instances when personal information is sent to or

received by us even without our prior request. In such cases, we will determine if we can
legitimately keep such information. If it is not related to any of our legitimate interests, we
will immediately dispose of the information in a way that will safeguard your privacy.
Otherwise, it will be treated in the same manner as information you provide us.

If you supply us with personal data of other individuals (e.g., person to contact in the event of an
emergency), we will request you to certify that you have obtained the consent of such individuals
before providing us with their personal data.

How We Use Your Information

To the extent permitted or required by law, we use your personal data to pursue our legitimate
interests as an educational institution, including a variety of academic, administrative, research,
historical, and statistical purposes. For example, we may use the information we collect for purposes
such as:

1. evaluating applications for admission to the University;

2. processing confirmation of incoming, transfer, cross-registering, or non-degree students in
preparation for enrollment;
3. recording, generating, and maintaining student records of academic, co-curricular, and extra-
curricular progress;
4. recording, storing, and evaluating student work, such as homework, seatwork, quizzes, long
tests, exams, term papers, theses, dissertations, culminating or integrating projects, research
papers, reflection papers, essays and presentations;
5. recording, generating, and maintaining records, whether manually, electronically, or by other
means, of grades, academic history, class schedules, class attendance and participation in
curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities;
6. establishing and maintaining student information systems;
7. sharing of grades between and among faculty members, and others with legitimate official
need, for academic deliberations and evaluation of student performance;
8. processing scholarship applications, grants, allowances, reports to benefactors, and other
forms of financial assistance;
9. investigating incidents that relate to student behavior and implementing disciplinary
measures;
10. maintaining directories and alumni records;
11. compiling and generating reports for statistical and research purposes;
12. providing services such as health, insurance, counseling, information technology, library,
sports/recreation, transportation, parking, campus mobility, safety and security;
13. managing and controlling access to campus facilities and equipment;
14. communicating official school announcements;
15. sharing marketing and promotional materials regarding school-related functions, events,
projects, and activities;
16. soliciting your participation in research and non-commercial surveys sanctioned by the
University;
17. soliciting your support, financial or otherwise, for University programs, projects, and events;
18. sharing your information with persons or institutions as provided below.

We consider the processing of your personal data for these purposes to be necessary for the
performance of our contractual obligations to you, for our compliance with a legal obligation, to
protect your vitally important interests, including your life and health, for the performance of tasks
we carry out in the public interest (e.g., public order, public safety, etc.), or for the pursuit of the
legitimate interests of the University or a third party. We understand that the DPA imposes stricter

Page 2 of 4
rules for the processing of sensitive personal information and privileged information, and we are
fully committed to abiding by those rules.

If we require your consent for any specific use of your personal data, we will collect it at the
appropriate time.

Please note further that we will not subject your personal data to any automated decision-making
process without your prior consent.

How We Share, Disclose, or Transfer Your Information

To the extent permitted or required by law, we may also share, disclose, or transfer your personal
data to other persons or organizations in order to uphold your interests and/or pursue our legitimate
interests as an educational institution. For example, we may share, disclose, or transfer your personal
data for purposes such as:

1. posting of acceptance to the University, awarding of financial aid and merit scholarship
grants, class lists, class schedules, online, in school bulletin boards, or other places within the
campus;
2. sharing of your personal data with your parents, guardians, or next of kin, as required by
law, or on a need-to-know basis, as determined by the University, in order to promote your
best interests, or to protect your health, safety, and security, or that of others;
3. sharing of some information to donors, funders, or benefactors for purposes of scholarship,
grants, and other forms of assistance;
4. publication of scholars’ graduation brochure for distribution to donors, funders, or
benefactors;

when required or allowed by law;
