This policy explains how [TODO: registered business name] (“TindaFlow”, “we”, “us”) handles personal data when you visit tindaflow.com, send us a request or message, or use the TindaFlow application. We follow the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC).

4. Records about your own customers and staff

If you enter information about other people into the TindaFlow app, such as customer or staff names, you decide what to record and why. For that information we process data on your behalf and only to provide the service. [TODO: confirm whether the app stores customer or staff personal data at all, and adjust this section.]

5. Cookies and analytics

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. We count visits with [TODO: analytics tool, e.g. Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies] and see totals only, not individual visitors. The TindaFlow app uses cookies needed to keep you logged in.

6. Who we share data with

We share personal data only with service providers that help us run TindaFlow, under agreements that require them to protect it:

  • Cloudflare, Inc., which hosts this website and processes form submissions
  • Microsoft Corporation (Azure), which hosts the TindaFlow app and its database
  • [TODO: email provider, and any other processors]

Some of these providers may store or process data outside the Philippines. Where they do, we rely on their contractual and security commitments to protect it to the standard the Data Privacy Act requires. [TODO: confirm hosting regions for the app and database.]

We may also disclose data when the law or a lawful order requires it.

When we no longer need data, we delete or anonymize it.

8. How we protect it

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and providers with recognized security practices. Only people who need the data to run TindaFlow can access it. If a personal data breach occurs that the law requires us to report, we will notify the NPC and affected people as required.

  • be informed about how your data is processed
  • access your personal data
