Welcome to TECH CDO ASIA! We are committed to protecting your personal data and privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services. Please read this policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

Data Controller

TECH CDO ASIA, located at Grand Europa, La Mirande Subdivision, Block 2, Lot 34, Cagayan De Oro City, ZIP 9000, The Philippines, is the data controller of your personal data. For any questions or concerns, please contact us at techcdoasia@gmail.com.

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit TECH CDO ASIA, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the installed cookies on your device. Additionally, as you browse the site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the site, and how you interact with the site. We refer to this automatically collected information as "Device Information." We might also collect personal data you provide to us (including but not limited to Name, Surname, Address, payment information, etc.) during registration to fulfill the agreement.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the following lawful bases:

• Consent: When you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose. For example, if you subscribe to our newsletters or download information from our website, you are providing consent for us to use your name and email address to send you the requested information and related communications.

• Contract: When processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract.

• Legal Obligation: When processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

• Legitimate Interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, provided your rights and interests do not override those interests.

Why Do We Process Your Data?

Our top priority is customer data security, and, as such, we may process only minimal user data, only as much as is necessary to maintain the website. Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding website usage. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that it would identify any particular user of the system.

You can visit the website without telling us who you are or revealing any information by which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. However, if you wish to use some of the website’s features or receive our newsletter, you may provide personal data to us, such as your email, first name, last name, city of residence, organization, and telephone number. You can choose not to provide us with your personal data, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of the website’s features.

Your Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Philippines' Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights related to your personal data:

• The right to be informed.

• The right of access: You have the right to request information about the personal data we hold about you and how it is processed. Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of your personal data, but this does not mean you have direct online access to our systems.

• The right to rectification.

• The right to erasure.

• The right to restrict processing.

• The right to data portability.

• The right to object.

• Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling.

If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us at techcdoasia@gmail.com. Additionally, if you are a European resident, please note that your information might be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States. We use Standard Contractual Clauses and other legal mechanisms to safeguard your data during such transfers.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We secure the information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed as 100% secure.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to outside parties except as follows:

• Trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, provided those parties agree to keep this information confidential. This includes:

  • Hostiger.com for web hosting: While this is mainly related to our data, in certain cases we may share your IP address and browser information to ensure the smooth operation and security of our website. Websites hosted by Hostinger may also include so-called cookies.

  • MailerLite.com for email marketing: We share your name and email address to send you newsletters and promotional emails. In general, we do not collect other than name and email information. Should we ask for more, we will explicitly make you aware of that. If you subscribe to a list, a newsletter, or download a freebie, your IP address, country, and time stamp-related data are collected, but not direct location data.

  • Calendly.com for scheduling appointments: We share your name and email address to schedule and manage appointments.

  • Various payment gateways for processing payments: We share your name, address, and payment information to process your payments. For example, stripe.com, buymeacoffee.com, maya.ph, paypal.com, and others as needed.

  • Various conferencing platforms to interact online: We share your name and email address to facilitate online meetings and interactions. For example, zoom.com, Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, Skype, LinkedIn, and others as needed.

  • Various fulfillment companies to make deliveries: We share your name and address to deliver your orders. For example, DHL, FedEx, Lala Move, LBC Express, Grab Express, Ninja Van, and others as needed.

Legal compliance: To comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.

These third parties have their own privacy policies addressing how they handle your personal data.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and products/services (with a small exception of the Manga Stories and a Coloring Book) are generally not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at techcdoasia@gmail.com.

In certain business cases, we may work together with schools and related education authorities, especially on the topic of Indoor Air Quality in Schools. In such cases, we take extraordinary precautions of data privacy to ensure no data of young students are collected without the appropriate consent. If needed, we will have separate data protection agreements in place with the customer/school authorities, ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws and obtaining necessary parental consent.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for such other websites or third parties' privacy practices. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our website and read the privacy policies of each website that may collect personal information.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. For example, we will retain your email address on our subscription list until you choose to unsubscribe. We will securely delete or anonymize your personal data when we no longer need it.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website, while others help us improve your experience by providing insights into how the site is being used. You can control cookies through your browser settings. For more detailed information on the cookies we use and their purposes, please see our Cookies Policy.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. We will provide details of the nature of the breach, the likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to address the breach. You will be notified via the email address we have on file for your records.

Legal Disclosure

We will disclose any information we collect, use, or receive if required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The version published here is always the latest valid version. Should major updates happen, we will summarize them in a short version update on this website. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
