Cybercode.ph provides general educational and informational material about Philippine technology law, data privacy, cybersecurity, cybercrime, artificial intelligence, digital transformation and business compliance.
By using this website, you acknowledge the limitations described below.
Not Legal Advice
Cybercode.ph is not a law firm and the material on this website is not individualized legal advice. Reading a guide, using a checklist or template, sending an email or using another Cybercode resource does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Legal outcomes depend on facts, evidence, contracts, applicable laws, regulatory guidance, court decisions, timing and other circumstances. If you need advice about a specific legal matter, consider consulting a qualified Philippine lawyer.
Not a Government Agency
Cybercode.ph is independent and is not the National Privacy Commission, DICT, CICC, NBI, PNP, DOJ, DTI, BIR, Supreme Court, Congress or any other Philippine government agency.
Links to official agencies are provided to help readers reach primary sources and official procedures. Cybercode cannot accept complaints, file government reports on your behalf or guarantee how an agency will handle a matter.
Not Cybersecurity Incident Response
Cybersecurity guides, checklists and technical recommendations are educational resources. Cybercode is not an emergency incident-response service, managed security provider, account-recovery service or forensic investigator. Active breaches, ransomware events, compromised systems and other serious incidents may require qualified technical professionals and appropriate government reporting.
Accuracy and Currency
We aim to make Cybercode accurate, traceable and current, but laws, regulations, agency procedures, court decisions, technology, fees, contact details and official websites can change. No website can guarantee that every page remains current at every moment.
Readers should verify important deadlines, filing requirements, penalties, fees, agency procedures and legal text against the current official source before acting. See our Editorial Policy & Research Methodology and Corrections & Updates Policy.
Provisions Struck Down or Limited
Parts of a statute can be declared unconstitutional or read down by the Supreme Court while the rest of the law remains in force. Where a guide quotes or explains such a provision, the guide should say what the Court held. Do not treat the original text of a partially invalidated provision as a current legal requirement without checking its status.
Pending Bills and Emerging Rules
Cybercode may discuss proposed legislation, pending bills, draft regulations and emerging policy. Unless expressly identified as enacted or effective law, such material should not be treated as a current legal requirement.
Templates and Checklists
Policy templates, checklists, sample language and similar resources are general starting points. They may not fit a particular organization, industry, risk profile, contractual arrangement or legal obligation without modification and professional review.
External Links
Cybercode links extensively to government websites, statutes, court decisions, agency portals and third-party resources. External websites are controlled by their respective operators. Cybercode does not guarantee the availability, security, accuracy or continued content of an external page. Where an official and an unofficial copy of a legal text both exist, treat the official one as controlling.
Intellectual Property
Original Cybercode editorial text, structure, graphics and other original site material may be protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Philippine statutes, court decisions and other government materials may have different copyright or public-domain status. Linking to an official source does not claim ownership over that source.
Responsible Use
You agree not to use Cybercode in a way that unlawfully interferes with the website, attempts unauthorized access, introduces malicious code, abuses site resources or violates applicable law.
No Guarantee of Outcome
Following a Cybercode guide does not guarantee a particular result from a court, regulator, police agency, online platform, employer, service provider or other third party.
Limitation of Liability
The website and its content are provided on an as-is basis. To the fullest extent permitted by Philippine law, Cybercode.ph and the people who operate it are not liable for loss or damage arising from reliance on the content of this site, from any inaccuracy or omission in it, or from any interruption in its availability. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, and any dispute arising from the use of this website is subject to the jurisdiction of the competent Philippine courts.
Privacy
Information about website data practices, and your rights under the Data Privacy Act, is provided in the Cybercode Privacy Policy.
Changes to These Terms
These terms may be updated when the website, its services or relevant legal requirements change. Continued use of the website after an update is subject to the then-current version of these terms.
