Privacy Policy
Cybercode.ph respects the privacy of its visitors and aims to collect only the information reasonably needed to operate, measure, secure and improve the website.
This Privacy Policy explains the types of information that may be processed when you visit Cybercode.ph or contact us. It should be read together with our Terms & Disclaimer.
Who Operates Cybercode.ph
Cybercode.ph is an independent Philippine technology-law, privacy, cybersecurity and digital-compliance information platform created and managed by Anton Sheker and Marjo Villarosa.
Information You Provide Directly
If you contact Cybercode by email or another communication channel, we may receive information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, message, organization, page URL, correction details or other information contained in your communication.
Please do not send passwords, one-time codes, private encryption keys, full payment-card details or other credentials through ordinary email.
Website and Technical Information
Like most websites, the site’s hosting, security and web infrastructure may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, requested URL, timestamps, referring page, response status and similar server or security logs. This information may be used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, investigate errors and protect website security.
Analytics and Google Services
Cybercode uses Site Kit by Google to connect supported Google website services. Depending on the services configured and active at a given time, this may include measurement or search-performance services such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
Analytics tools may process information about how visitors reach and use the site, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device or browser information, referral source and interaction data. Search Console primarily provides aggregated information about how the site appears in Google Search.
Third-party services process data under their own terms and privacy policies. Their features and data practices may change independently of Cybercode.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cybercode and services used by the site may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies for essential website operation, security, preferences, analytics or other enabled functionality.
Not every cookie has the same purpose, and the legal basis for processing can depend on the technology and how it is used. Where consent is legally required for a particular non-essential technology, the site should obtain it before that technology is used in the manner requiring consent.
Why Information May Be Processed
- to deliver and maintain the website;
- to protect the site against abuse, spam, attacks or unauthorized access;
- to understand website performance and improve content;
- to respond to inquiries, corrections or partnership messages;
- to comply with applicable legal obligations; and
- to establish, exercise or defend legal rights where necessary.
Sharing of Information
Cybercode does not publish personal information sent privately to us merely because it was submitted. Information may, however, be processed by service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, email, website management or other necessary operations.
Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, a lawful government request, court process, security investigation or protection of legal rights.
Data Retention
Information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legitimate operational needs, security, record keeping, legal obligations or dispute resolution. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the system involved.
Security
Cybercode uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect the website and information processed through it. No website, email account, server or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
External Links
Cybercode frequently links to government agencies, official legal sources and other external websites. Those sites are operated independently and have their own privacy practices. A link from Cybercode does not make Cybercode responsible for the privacy or security practices of the destination site.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable Philippine law, individuals may have rights concerning personal data, including rights to be informed, access, object, correct inaccurate data, and request erasure or blocking in appropriate cases. These rights can be subject to lawful exceptions and limitations.
For general information about Philippine data-subject rights, see our Data Privacy Rights in the Philippines guide.
Contact About Privacy
Questions about this Privacy Policy or personal information you have directly submitted to Cybercode may be sent through our Contact page, which uses a protected email link to reduce automated address harvesting.
