Colegio de Sto. Ni\u00f1o \u2013 Bustos (“CSNB,” “the School,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our students, parents and guardians, alumni, applicants, staff, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, how we use and protect it, and the rights available to you under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as administered by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

By using this website or submitting information to us through it, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Contact and inquiry information you voluntarily submit through our website contact form, such as your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.
• Admissions and enrollment information submitted by parents or guardians on behalf of a student applicant, which may include the child’s name, date of birth, prior school records, and family contact details, gathered through our admissions process (whether online or in person).
• Technical information collected automatically when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and approximate location, typically gathered through standard web server logs and, where enabled, analytics tools.

As a school, we necessarily process personal information relating to minors, submitted to us by a parent or legal guardian as part of the admissions and enrollment process. We collect only the information reasonably necessary for admissions, enrollment, and the safe and effective operation of the School, and we rely on the consent of the parent or guardian, or on our legitimate educational functions, as the basis for processing such information.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through this public website without the involvement of a parent or guardian.

We use the personal information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form;
• Process admissions and enrollment applications;
• Communicate with parents, guardians, students, and prospective families regarding School programs, admissions, events, and announcements;
• Maintain the security, functionality, and performance of our website; and
• Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and accreditation requirements.

We process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases recognized under the Data Privacy Act of 2012: your consent (such as when you submit our contact form or an admissions inquiry); the legitimate interests of the School in operating an educational institution and communicating with its community; and, where applicable, compliance with a legal obligation under Philippine law or a requirement of an accrediting body (such as the Department of Education).

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties. We may share personal information with:

• Service providers who support our website and operations, such as our web hosting provider, on a strictly need-to-know basis and solely to perform services on our behalf;
• Government or regulatory authorities, including the Department of Education and the National Privacy Commission, where required by law; and
• Other parties with your explicit consent, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

We implement reasonable organizational, physical, and technical measures to protect personal information in our custody against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Access to personal information is limited to authorized personnel who need it to perform their duties.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, after which it is securely disposed of or anonymized.

As a data subject, you have the right to:

• Be informed that your personal information will be, is being, or was processed;
• Access your personal information that we hold;
• Object to the processing of your personal information;
• Request the correction of inaccurate or outdated personal information;
• Request the erasure or blocking of your personal information under certain circumstances;
