This Privacy Policy explains how About PhilHealth (“we,” “us,” or “this site”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit aboutphilhealth.org. This site is an independent, privately run information resource and is not affiliated with PhilHealth or any Philippine government agency.
This policy is a general template and has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Before publishing it, we recommend having it checked against the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and any other applicable regulations, particularly around cookie consent, data retention, and any forms or plugins you actually use on the site, since specific requirements depend on how your site is set up.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly. If you use our contact form or email us, we collect whatever information you choose to include, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.
Automatically collected information. Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and how you arrived at the site. This is typically gathered through analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
Cookies. Our site may use cookies to remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and, if applicable, to support advertising through services such as Google AdSense. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect how parts of the site function.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to respond to messages sent through our contact form, understand how visitors use the site so we can improve our content, maintain the security and proper functioning of the site, and, if applicable, display relevant advertising through third party ad networks.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Third Party Links and Services
Our guides link out to official PhilHealth pages and other external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third party site you visit through a link on our pages.
If this site uses Google Analytics or Google AdSense, those services may collect and process data according to their own privacy policies. You can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services through Google’s own published privacy documentation.
Data Retention and Security
We retain contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for reasonable record keeping afterward. We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this site, though no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding the personal information we hold about you, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information. To make such a request, please contact us using the details on our Contact Us page.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by applicable law to consent to data collection.
