Last Updated: June 3, 2025

FilipinoKami.com (“Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to safeguarding your privacy. This FilipinoKami Data Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website, which provides originally created news, rewritten news summaries, embedded videos, and links to other sites. Please read this policy carefully.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

a. Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We primarily collect PII when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when you contact us via email (e.g., contact@filipinokami.com or dmca@filipinokami.com) or through a contact form. This may include your name, email address, and any other details you provide.

b. Non-Personally Identifiable Information / Derivative Data: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and pages viewed. This data is used for analytics and to improve our service. We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies for this purpose. For more details on how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.

c. Information Related to News Gathering: In the course of gathering and creating news content, we may process information about individuals that is publicly available, including from social media platforms or other public records. We handle such information in accordance with our Editorial Policy & Standards, which includes consideration for privacy expectations. When content is sourced from public posts on social media, the original poster’s expectation of privacy may be reduced, particularly if privacy controls were not used by them.

2. Use of Your Information

We use the information collected to:

  • Operate and maintain the Website.
  • Provide, create, and deliver the news content and other services you request.
  • Improve our Website, content offerings, and user experience.
  • Respond to your comments, inquiries, and provide support.
  • Monitor and analyze usage and trends for statistical purposes (e.g., via Google Analytics).
  • Ensure the security of our Website and prevent misuse.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your PII to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may disclose your information in the following situations:

  • With Your Consent: If you give us permission to do so.
  • To Service Providers: To third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., website hosting, analytics providers like Google Analytics). These providers are obligated to protect your information.
  • For Legal Reasons: If required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if 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.
  • In Case of Business Transfer: If FilipinoKami.com is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
  • Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized information that does not directly identify you with third parties for analysis or other purposes.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (e.g., web beacons) to enhance your experience, analyze site traffic, and for potential advertising purposes. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Rejecting cookies may affect some Website functionalities. For comprehensive information on how we use cookies, please refer to our dedicated Cookie Policy.

5. Third-Party Websites and Embedded Content

Our Site contains links to third-party websites and embeds content (e.g., videos from YouTube, Dailymotion). These third parties have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices. Interacting with such content or links means you are subject to their policies.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.
