Privacy Policy
Effective
This Privacy Policy describes how thebuildingbloc.cc ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our website. The Data Controller responsible for your personal information is [email protected], based in the Philippines.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when you submit an inquiry through our contact form. This includes your name, email address, contact number, country, and the specific details of your inquiry. We do not collect information through cookies, analytics tools, or tracking technologies on this website.
How We Use Your Information & Legal Basis
We use the information you provide solely to respond to your inquiry, assess your requirements, and communicate with you regarding our services.
Our legal basis for processing your data is our legitimate interest in managing prospective client relationships and responding to business inquiries, or taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract. We do not use your information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent, and we do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except as necessary to fulfill your request or as required by law.
Data Retention
We retain your information only for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and maintain records of our business correspondence. Specifically, inquiry data is retained for a maximum period of two (2) years from our last communication, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized, unless a formal business contract is established between us.
International Data Transfers
Because we are located in the Philippines, please note that any information you submit will be transferred to and processed in our jurisdiction. We ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to maintain the security and confidentiality of your data during these transfers.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you submit to us from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to thebuildingbloc.cc. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party sites and encourage you to review their policies independently.
