GuidePH is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173). This policy covers our main portal, blog, Attorneys Directory, and store services.

1. Who We Are

Our website addresses are: https://guideph.com (Main Portal), https://en.guideph.com (Knowledge Base & Blog), and https://en.guideph.com/pro (Philippines Attorneys Directory).

2. Data Collection & Interactions

A. Inquiries: When you contact us we may ask about or collect personal details (Name, Nationality, Contact Info) to provide guidance or answer you

B. Comments: We collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection via automated services like Akismet.

C. Professional Directory: For legal professionals listed in our directory, we display publicly available professional data (Name, Bar Number, Specialization) to facilitate connections. We do not facilitate or store private communications between users and professionals on our platform.

3. Cookies & Third-Party Advertising

Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookie

GuidePH uses Google AdSense to serve ads. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to GuidePH and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy.

Affiliate Disclosure

Our website uses affiliate tracking cookies. If you click on an affiliate link (e.g., for insurance or travel services), a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions. This does not increase the cost to you.

Technical Cookies

We use Cloudflare and LiteSpeed caching to protect our servers and ensure fast loading. We also use Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel to understand visitor behavior and improve our content clusters.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

Third-Party Service Providers: We do not sell or rent your personal data. We only share information with third-party partners (such as licensed professionals or service providers) only when you explicitly request a referral or service through our platform.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by Philippine law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

5. International Data Transfer & Retention

International Data Transfer: As GuidePH uses global CDN services and cloud hosting, your data may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of the Philippines. By using the site, you consent to this transfer.

Retention: Comments and metadata are retained indefinitely. Users can request an exported file of the personal data we hold or request its erasure under the Data Privacy Act.

6. Children's Privacy (Under 18)

GuidePH services are intended for adults and are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
