Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate this website and improve your browsing experience. This may include:

• Basic browsing data such as IP address, browser type, referring pages and pages visited, collected in aggregated form by standard web-server and analytics tools
• Cookies and similar local-storage technologies used to remember your language preference and, where enabled, to collect anonymous usage statistics
• Any information you voluntarily provide when contacting the site administrator, such as an email address or a submitted message

How we use your information

Collected information is used for the following limited purposes:

• To maintain and improve website content, layout and multilingual navigation
• To analyse aggregated traffic patterns so that we can understand which pages and sections are most useful to visitors
• To reply to legitimate enquiries submitted via the contact channels
• To comply with applicable legal obligations and to prevent abuse of the website infrastructure

Third-party services

This website may embed third-party services including Google Maps (for location maps and the embedded map widget), Google Analytics or a similar privacy-conscious analytics service, and static image-hosting platforms. Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy and independently of this project. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of Google LLC and any embedded services for more detail on their practices.

Cookies and local storage

We use cookies only where necessary for core functionality (such as remembering your language preference) and, with your consent, for analytics. You can change or withdraw your preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings page linked in the footer of every page. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent normal use of the site.

Data retention

Aggregated log data is retained for a short period of time only, typically between one and three months, after which it is either fully anonymised or deleted. Any personal correspondence sent to the site administrator is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry and to maintain a record of the communication for accountability purposes.

Your rights

Where applicable laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and similar regional legislation grant you rights over personal data, you may:

• Request access to any personal data that may be held about you
• Request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data
• Request deletion of personal data, subject to any legal retention obligations
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been violated

Children's privacy

This website is designed for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children below the age of thirteen without verifiable parental or guardian consent. If you believe that information from a child has been collected inappropriately, please contact the administrator and the material will be removed without delay.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time as the website evolves or as new legal requirements apply. The date of the most recent update is always shown at the top of the page, and material changes will be noted clearly.

Contact

For privacy-related enquiries, or to exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact the site administrator using the contact method published on the main site footer. We endeavour to respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable period, typically no later than thirty calendar days.
