What is our Privacy Policy regarding children?

SocialConz Digital is very sensitive to privacy issues, and we are especially careful in any communications with one of our most treasured customers – children. SocialConz Digital would never collect personal data from children directly, without the parent’s consent.

Personal data collected from children is used solely by SocialConz Digital or other entities that provide technical, fulfilment or other services to SocialConz Digital. For example, such entities may provide services, such as, improving our services/websites, and fulfilling requests or administering promotions. These personal data are not sold.

Meanwhile, we urge parents to regularly monitor and supervise their children’s online activities.

Where and how long do we keep your personal data?

We reserve the right to retain and keep the information we gathered from you in our facilities located in the Philippines while you are a customer or until we no longer need it for business, tax, or legal purposes or unless you request your personal data to be deleted in the system or when your personal data may be necessary to resolve disputes, or if SocialConz Digital is required to do so by law or in good faith; provided that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation and/or protect and defend the rights or property of SocialConz Digital or its affiliates. If SocialConz Digital is required to retain any portion of your personal data for such purposes, it shall use reasonable efforts to limit such data to what is necessary to accomplish the particular purpose. When we dispose of your personal information, we use reasonable procedures to destroy it or make it unreadable (such as shredding or by wiping electronic data). Once deleted, your personal data will no longer be searchable or included in anonymous searches and will be completely removed from all the storage location.

What if there are changes in our Privacy Policy?

From time to time, it may be necessary for SocialConz Digital to change this Privacy Policy. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version here and will take effect immediately, so we suggest that you check here periodically for the most up-to-date version of our Privacy Policy. Rest assured, however, that any changes will not be retroactively applied and will not alter how we handle previously collected personal data without obtaining your consent unless required by law.
