Introduction and Commitment

AsiaLinks Philippines (asialinks-ph.com) operates with deep respect for your privacy rights under Philippine law, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). We understand that when you trust us with your personal information, especially in the context of capital budgeting and financial education, that trust comes with significant responsibility.

This privacy policy explains exactly how we collect, use, protect, and manage your personal data. We've written this in clear language because transparency isn't just a legal requirement – it's fundamental to building lasting relationships with our community of financial learners across the Philippines.

Information We Collect

• Technical Data

  We automatically collect IP addresses, browser types, device information, and usage patterns to improve our website performance and security.

• Communication Records

  Emails, chat messages, phone conversations, and support tickets are stored to provide consistent service and resolve any issues effectively.

• Learning Analytics

  Progress through courses, completion rates, assessment scores, and engagement metrics help us understand how to improve our educational content.

How We Use Your Information

Your personal data serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience with our capital budgeting programs. We use your information to deliver educational content, process registrations, and provide customer support. Additionally, we analyze usage patterns to improve our course materials and identify areas where students might need additional resources.

We also use your contact information to send program updates, notify you about new course offerings, and share relevant industry insights that might interest professionals in your field. Marketing communications are always opt-in, and you can unsubscribe at any time through the links provided in our emails.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We maintain strict control over who can access your personal information. We never sell your data to third parties, and we only share information when it's necessary to provide our services or when required by Philippine law.

Service providers who help us operate our platform – including payment processors, email service providers, and hosting companies – may have access to your data, but only under strict contractual agreements that require them to protect your information and use it solely for specified purposes. These partners are carefully vetted and must comply with Philippine data protection standards.

International Data Transfers

Some of our technology partners operate servers outside the Philippines. When we transfer your data internationally, we ensure adequate protection through contractual safeguards, certification programs, or other mechanisms approved by the National Privacy Commission. We never transfer sensitive personal information without proper legal basis and protection measures.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by Philippine law. Student records and course completion certificates are retained for seven years to maintain academic integrity and provide verification services. Marketing communications data is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

When data reaches the end of its retention period, we securely delete it from our systems using industry-standard data destruction methods. Backup copies are also purged according to our established schedules, ensuring complete removal from our infrastructure.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalized content. Essential cookies are necessary for basic site functionality, while analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our content. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may limit site functionality.

We use Google Analytics to track website usage patterns, but we've configured it to anonymize IP addresses and respect your privacy choices. This data helps us improve our course offerings and identify popular content areas.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this privacy policy annually or whenever significant changes occur in our data processing activities. When updates are made, we'll notify you via email and post the revised policy on our website with a clear effective date. Continuing to use our services after policy updates indicates your acceptance of the changes.

For significant changes that affect your rights or how we handle sensitive information, we may request explicit consent before implementing the updates.
