NPC asks Jollibee, Viber to explain Christmas campaign

THE National Privacy Commission (NPC) asked Jollibee Foods Corp. (JFC) and Viber for explanations on the Christmas campaign after user complaints.

In a statement on Tuesday, the NPC said it noted media reports and user backlash against JFC’s Christmas campaign as branded marketing materials, such as automated greetings and digital stickers, appeared in private Viber chats when triggered by certain words like Merry Christmas and holiday, among others.

This prompted concerns about “boundaries of digital marketing” and the “unsolicited processing of personal data.”

The commission said it is assessing if the campaign violated the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA).

“If the campaign involves the processing of personal data, PICs (personal information controllers) must ensure adherence to the principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality,” the commission said.

“In such cases, consent must be specific and freely given, and data subjects must be afforded the right to object to the processing of their information for direct marketing purposes,” it added.

Under the DPA, PICs must ensure that processing personal data for direct marketing adheres to the key principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality.

JFC did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
