  1. A

    Anika, bakit kailangang itago ng app ang litrato ng ID ng bawat pasyente?

    Anika, why does the app need to keep a photo of every patient's ID?

  2. B

    Para sigurado ang clinic na totoong tao ang nag-book. Ang dami kasing pekeng pangalan.

    So the clinic can be sure a real person made the booking. There are so many fake names.

  3. A

    Pakinggan mo: alinsunod sa Data Privacy Act, sensitibong impormasyon ang numero ng ID na galing sa gobyerno.

    Listen to this: under the Data Privacy Act, the number on a government-issued ID is sensitive information.

  4. B

    Kaya nga may checkbox ako para sa consent. Ayos na 'yon, 'di ba?

    That's why I put in a checkbox for consent. That covers it, right?

  5. A

    Kulang 'yon. Kaugnay ng bawat datos na itatago natin, dapat may malinaw na layunin, at walang labis.

    That's not enough. For every piece of data we keep, there has to be a clear purpose, and nothing beyond it.

  6. B

    So ang kailangan lang ng clinic, makita ang ID, hindi itago?

    So all the clinic needs is to see the ID, not keep it?

  7. A

    Mismo. Kaya mo bang i-check ang ID nang hindi nag-iipon ng litrato?

    Exactly. Can you check IDs without piling up photos?

  8. B

    Kaya 'yan. Babasahin ng app ang pangalan sa ID, ikukumpara sa booking, saka buburahin agad.

    Sure. The app reads the name on the ID, compares it with the booking, then deletes it right away.

  9. A

    Tapos "verified" at petsa lang ang matitira sa database. Ngayon lang ako pipirma nang walang reklamo.

    Then only "verified" and the date stay in the database. First time I'll sign off on your work without a complaint.
