What this site collects, why, and what you can ask me to do with it. Plain language, no surprises.

Draft wording — review before publishing

What I collect

I only collect what you send me or what the site needs to work:

  • Contact form: your name, email, optional company and budget, and your message.
  • Comments: your name, email (never shown) and comment.
  • Newsletter: your email address.
  • Page views: anonymous visit counts so I know which stories people read.

How I use it

To reply to you, publish your comment after review, and send new stories if you subscribed. I don't sell or rent your data, and I don't use it for advertising profiles.

Third-party services

The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and images from my own content server. Share buttons open Facebook, X or LinkedIn only when you click them. Links to other sites, such as hotel affiliates, follow their own privacy policies.

How long I keep it

Messages are kept as long as needed to handle your request. Newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe. Comments stay with the post unless you ask me to remove them.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data at any time. Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 you also have the right to object and to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.
