Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 17, 2026

Junior Chamber International Mandaue (JCI Mandaue) Chapter, Inc. ("JCI Mandaue," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines, its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through jcimandaue.org (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices and rights available to you. For this Site, JCI Mandaue acts as the Personal Information Controller.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide directly

  • Contact form: your name, email address, phone number (optional), subject, and message.
  • Membership application: your full name, email, phone, and optionally birthdate, occupation, company, address, your reasons for joining, and who referred you.

Information collected automatically

  • Technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, and pages visited, via standard server logs and our hosting/security provider (Cloudflare), used for security and to keep the Site running.
  • Cookies set by Cloudflare for security and performance (see "Cookies" below).

2. How we use your information

  • To respond to your inquiries and messages;
  • To review, process, and follow up on membership applications;
  • To communicate about our projects, events, and activities you have expressed interest in;
  • To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Site;
  • To comply with legal obligations.

3. Legal basis

We process your personal data based on your consent (which you give by submitting our forms), our legitimate interests as a civic organization in operating and promoting our advocacies, and, where applicable, compliance with legal obligations.

4. Cookies and embedded content

We use only essential cookies necessary for security and basic functionality (provided by Cloudflare). We do not use advertising cookies. Pages that display our social feeds may load content from third-party platforms (e.g., Facebook), which may set their own cookies governed by their respective privacy policies. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share it only:

  • With trusted service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., Cloudflare for hosting, content delivery, and security), bound to protect your data;
  • With JCI Philippines where reasonably necessary for membership-related purposes;
  • When required by law, legal process, or a lawful request by public authorities.

6. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above — for example, to respond to your inquiry or to administer your membership — and as required by law, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized.

7. Data security

We implement reasonable organizational, physical, and technical safeguards to protect your data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and restricted access to submissions. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.

8. Your rights under the Data Privacy Act

As a data subject, you have the right to:

  • be informed about the processing of your personal data;
  • access the personal data we hold about you;
  • object to or withdraw consent to processing;
  • have inaccurate data corrected (rectification);
  • request erasure or blocking of your data, subject to legal limits;
  • data portability; and
  • be indemnified for damages and to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

9. Children's privacy

The Site and our membership are intended for individuals aged 18–40. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. International transfers

Our hosting and security provider operates a global network, so data may be processed on servers located outside the Philippines. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure your data remains protected consistent with this Policy and applicable law.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Updates take effect when posted here, with the "Last updated" date revised accordingly.
