Good Day, I would like to know if a sibling can legally request for his/her sibling without an authorization in this two types of scenarios; 1.) Deceased sibling has an offspring and has a wife/husband that is still alive. 2.) Deceased sibling has no offspring and not married at all. Asking because I am a bit confused about the Data Privacy Act.
