Who We Share Your Data With

How Long We Retain Your Data

Compliance with Law

We handle personal information in strict accordance with applicable data protection laws, specifically the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Under this law, you have the right to be informed, object, access, rectify, erase, or block your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@sswpinoy.com.

Refunds

Payments are securely handled by our authorized payment gateways. Please note that all approved refunds will be processed strictly via Bank Transfer, regardless of the original payment method. Applicable processing fees, taxes, and payment gateway charges (approximately 10% to 20%) will be deducted from the refund amount, and these costs are borne by the buyer. Full eligibility, exact fee deductions, and how to request a refund are described in detail in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

How We Protect Your Data

We use industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption. Sensitive payment information is handled solely by certified processors. We continuously improve our safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access or breaches.

Messaging Services

When you contact us through Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp, we use the information you provide (your message, name, and email address) solely to reply to you and to share information about our courses. A conversation is only initiated when you message us first, and the use of these platforms is subject to Meta’s Platform Terms. You may request the deletion of this data at any time (see “Data Deletion Request” below).

Advertising & Retargeting

If you provide your contact details, we may share a hashed (irreversibly encrypted) version of your email address or phone number with advertising platforms such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok in order to show you ads relevant to our courses (“Custom Audiences”). Because the data is hashed, these platforms cannot read your actual email address. You can opt out at any time from the ad settings of each respective platform.

Data Deletion Request

You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time, including message conversations, LMS account data, and any information collected through Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp.

Please email us at support@sswpinoy.com with the subject “Data Deletion Request”. After verifying your identity, we will process the request within 30 days in compliance with the Data Privacy Act. For data collected through Facebook, you can also remove our app’s access directly from your Facebook “Settings” → “Business Integrations”.
