3. Your Consent

By submitting an order form or inquiry form through this Website, you consent to the collection and use of that information as described in this policy.

If we wish to use your information for secondary purposes (such as promotional testimonials), we will seek your explicit written consent before doing so.

4. Withdrawing Consent

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Upon receiving your request, we will stop using your information for non-essential communications. Note that withdrawal of consent does not affect any processing carried out prior to that point, including the fulfillment of an order already in progress.

5. Disclosure of Information

We will not disclose your personal information to any third party except:

Where required by law or a valid legal process

6. Cookies and Tracking

Our Website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to personalize your experience, analyze Website traffic, and understand how visitors engage with our content.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Website.

7. Payment Information

Book orders are currently processed manually via GCash or bank transfer. We do not use an automated payment gateway, and we do not collect or store your full card, bank account, or GCash account numbers on our systems.

As part of the order process, you will be asked to upload a screenshot or receipt as proof of payment. This image may contain partial account or reference details and is used solely to verify and match your payment to your order. Proof of payment submissions are stored securely and are only accessed by Paco and those directly involved in order fulfillment.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including proof of payment submissions and delivery details, from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of internet transmission or digital storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to contact us immediately at [email protected] if you believe your information may have been compromised.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or embedded forms (such as our order form or inquiry form). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party platforms and encourage you to review their policies independently.
