Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 2026 · bantaydaily.com
Your Privacy Matters

BantayDaily is committed to protecting your privacy in line with Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012) and National Privacy Commission guidelines. This Policy explains how we handle your information when you visit bantaydaily.com, subscribe, contact us, or submit a news tip.

Information We Collect

Voluntarily Provided

When you choose to interact with us, we may collect the following:

  • Your email address (and optionally your name) when you subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Your name, email, and message when you contact us or submit a news tip or story idea.

Automatically Collected

Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical data when you visit:

  • IP address and approximate location
  • Browser type, device information, and operating system
  • Pages visited, time spent on site, and referring URLs
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies

How We Use Your Information

We process your data only for the following purposes:

  • Newsletters and updates — delivered with your consent, and only to you.
  • Responding to inquiries and tips — so we can follow up on what you've shared with us.
  • Site analytics — to understand how BantayDaily is being read and to improve it.
  • Security and legal compliance — to protect the integrity of the site and meet our obligations under Philippine law.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information for third-party marketing. Ever.

Cookies & Tracking

We use three categories of cookies:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to function properly.
  • Analytics cookies — such as Google Analytics, to understand traffic patterns.
  • Advertising cookies — such as Google AdSense, if ads are running on the site.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

Third-Party Services & Data Transfers

BantayDaily uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

  • Google Analytics and Google AdSense — for traffic measurement and advertising. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Social sharing platforms — if you share our content, their own policies apply.

Some data may be transferred outside the Philippines (for example, to servers in the United States). Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards to protect your information.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures — including encryption where applicable and access controls — to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No system is perfectly secure, but we take our responsibility seriously.

Data Retention

We keep your data only for as long as necessary or required by law:

  • Newsletter subscriptions — retained until you unsubscribe. You can do so anytime via the unsubscribe link in any email we send.
  • Contact and tip submissions — retained for follow-up and archiving purposes, typically between 2 and 5 years, or less if no longer needed.

Your Rights Under the Data Privacy Act

As a data subject under Republic Act No. 10173, you have the following rights:

  • Right to be informed — to know how your data is being processed.
  • Right to access — to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to correction — to have inaccurate data corrected.
  • Right to erasure — to request deletion of your data under certain conditions.
  • Right to object or restrict processing — to limit how we use your data.
  • Right to data portability — to receive your data in a structured, usable format.
  • Right to withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting prior processing.
  • Right to file a complaint — with us directly, or with the National Privacy Commission.
  • Right to indemnification — for damages resulting from unlawful processing.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@bantaydaily.com. We aim to respond within 30 days.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission as required by Philippine law and NPC regulations.

Children's Privacy

BantayDaily is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of BantayDaily after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
