• from property owners, buyers, sellers, lessors, lessees, developers or transaction counterparties;

• from public registries, government agencies and lawfully available property records;

• from professional advisers and service providers;

• from publicly available sources; or

Where another person provides your information to us, that person is responsible for having the authority or lawful basis to do so.

5. Purposes of Processing

We may process personal data for the following purposes:

• responding to questions and requests;

• arranging consultations, appraisals, property viewings or meetings;

• assessing whether and how we can provide a requested service;

• providing real estate brokerage, appraisal, consultancy, documentation, property management, research, education or related services;

• communicating with buyers, sellers, property owners, developers and other transaction participants;

• conducting property investigation, valuation and due diligence;

• preparing proposals, reports, contracts and transaction documents;

• processing title transfers, estate-related documentation and other authorized administrative services;

• maintaining client, inquiry and transaction records;

• managing our business relationship with you;

• verifying identity and preventing fraud;

• complying with professional, regulatory, accounting, tax, anti-fraud and other legal obligations;

• securing, maintaining and improving our website and information systems;

• establishing, exercising or defending legal claims; and

• sending property updates or marketing communications where you have separately consented or where otherwise permitted by law.

We will not use personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes communicated to you without providing appropriate notice and, where required, obtaining additional consent.

6. Bases for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on:

• your consent;

• steps necessary to respond to your request or enter into a contract;

• performance of a contract or professional engagement;

• compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation;

• protection of lawful rights and interests;

• protection of your or another person’s vital interests; or

• another basis permitted under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully carried out before the withdrawal and may not apply where another lawful basis requires or permits continued processing.

7. Disclosure of Personal Data

Where reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, we may disclose personal data to:

• authorized directors, officers, employees, brokers, appraisers, consultants and salespersons of CESSON Realty;

• property owners, buyers, sellers, lessors, lessees, developers and authorized representatives involved in a transaction;

• lawyers, accountants, notaries, surveyors, engineers and other professional advisers;

• banks, financing providers and insurers where authorized or necessary;

• government agencies, local government units, registries, courts and regulatory authorities;

• website hosting, email, cloud-storage, IT, security and communications providers;

• Google and other providers of embedded website services;

• contractors processing data on our documented instructions; and

• law-enforcement bodies or other recipients where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

We do not sell personal data.

We remain responsible for personal data processed on our behalf and take reasonable steps to require service providers to protect it and use it only for authorized purposes.

8. International Data Transfers

Some website, hosting, communications, cloud or technology providers may process data outside the Philippines.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable and appropriate measures to ensure a comparable level of protection, taking into account the nature of the information, the purpose of processing and the safeguards available.

The use of Google Maps and other Google services may result in information such as your IP address and device data being processed by Google and its affiliated entities in other countries.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and compliance with professional, tax, accounting and regulatory requirements.

Our retention periods depend on:

• whether an inquiry develops into a client relationship or transaction relationship or transaction;

• the nature of the service provided;

• applicable legal and regulatory requirements;

• contractual limitation periods;

• the need to resolve complaints or disputes; and

• security and fraud-prevention requirements.

General inquiries that do not result in an engagement will ordinarily be deleted or anonymized after 12 months, unless continued retention is reasonably necessary or legally required.

Client and transaction records may be retained for 24 months or for any longer period required by applicable law.

Cookie retention periods are described in Section 14.

10. Security

We use reasonable and appropriate organizational, physical and technical safeguards to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, alteration, loss, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized access and other unlawful processing.

These measures may include:

• access restrictions;

• account and password controls;

• secure storage and transmission methods;

• confidentiality obligations;

• system maintenance and security updates;

• data backup and recovery procedures;

• incident-response procedures; and

• appropriate safeguards in agreements with service providers.

No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. You should therefore avoid sending highly sensitive documents through an unsecured communication channel.

11. Your Rights

Subject to the conditions and limitations provided by applicable law, you may have the right to:

• be informed about the processing of your personal data;

• access personal data held about you;

• object to certain processing;

• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;

• request erasure or blocking of data in appropriate circumstances;

• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;

• request data portability where applicable;

• claim compensation where you have suffered damage due to inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, false, unlawfully obtained or unauthorized use of personal data; and

• file a complaint with the Philippine National Privacy Commission.

We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We may also retain information where continued retention is required or permitted by law.

12. Marketing Communications

We will only send optional marketing communications where you have consented or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Consent to marketing is not a condition for receiving a requested real estate service. You may withdraw your consent or unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions in the communication or contacting us.

We may still send non-marketing communications necessary to respond to an inquiry, administer an engagement or complete a transaction.

13. Children’s Data

Our website and services are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children through the website without appropriate authority or consent.

If information concerning a minor is required in connection with ownership, succession, estate settlement or another lawful property matter, it will be processed only where necessary and with appropriate safeguards.
