Data Privacy Policy (Per Data Privacy Act)
Original Biscocho Haus’ e-commerce site adheres to the provisions of the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act of 2012 that aims to “protect the fundamental human right of privacy, of communication while ensuring free flow of information to promote innovation and growth.” (Republic Act. No. 10173, Ch. 1, Sec. 2). This falls into the jurisdiction of the National Privacy Commission.
Our website and e-commerce site caters to buyers based in the Philippines and as a result processes personal information of Filipino citizens. According to the law, Biscocho Haus through our site is allowed to process customers’ provided data for as long as it is “…subject to the adherence to the principles of transparency, legitimate purpose and proportionality.”
Our site, including our e-commerce function, will not in any way obtain personal information of users without their consent. Personal data collection will be limited to customers who choose to proceed to the full ordering process of our e-commerce site. Information gathered will be limited to those that are integral to fulfilling orders in our e-commerce function such as but not limited to: Full Name, Full Shipping Address, Contact Number/s, e-mail address. Non-personal information such as past products browsed in our store and again personal information such as records of past purchases will also be collected only to provide a better shopping experience for customers and also for record-keeping purposes.
Again as a family business, we require third party providers to keep our site and e-commerce platform working especially in fulfilling orders online. Thus, we will be required to share our customers personal information with them. Note however that all our partners have their own data privacy policies but we do want to be transparent and say that these are not subject to our control.
