  Legal Notice Update

We reserve the right to make any changes and corrections to this notice. Please refer to this page from time to time to review these and new additional information.


  Privacy Policy Online

Please read this Privacy Notice before using the website or submitting any personal data. This Privacy Notice sets out the data processing practices carried out through the use of the Internet and any other electronic communications networks. Our website may contain links to other third-party websites which are outside our control and are not covered by this Privacy Notice. If you access other sites using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy, which may differ from ours.


  Data Collection and Intended Use

We collect two (2) types of data about users through this website: active data (such as name, address, profession, e-mail address, etc.) when voluntarily submitted by visitors for registration, contests, etc.; and passive data (such as browser type, IP address, page reference, etc.). We may use this information to process and maintain your account, compile demographic statistics about our users, and display information that matches your interests and profile.
From time to time, we may ask our website visitors to answer survey questions. Surveys generally deal with the website or seminar proper. We may ask for age or age ranges, gender, and other non-personally identifiable data. These surveys do not request for personally identifiable data, only optional, and the data collected is not tied to any personally identifiable data that may have been previously provided. Data gathered from polls and surveys are only for internal use by the DOST-FNRI.
The data controller collecting the personal data described herein is DOST-FNRI. The personal data submitted by you are used only for the express purposes stated at the location where you provide it. We will not use personally identifiable data for direct marketing or unsolicited follow-up unless you have given us your express permission for such use.


  Server

The server that makes this website available may be located outside the country from which you accessed it. We will collect, process, and use personal data only in accordance with this Privacy Notice.


  Restricted Access

The processing of personal data (such as user ID, password, etc.) may be mandatory for the purposes of consultation, modification, or deletion of your personal data and/or for the online services offered by this website.


  Spamming

We do not practice spamming. Spamming is when unsolicited e-mails are sent to recipients containing advertisements or marketing related materials without the recipients prior consent.


  Data Retention

The data collected through this website is kept secure for as long as it is necessary, taking into consideration the purpose for which it is collected, before being destroyed.


  Children

We believe that it is highly important to protect the privacy of children online and encourage parents or guardians to spend time online with the children to participate and monitor their e-activities. We do not collect personal data from children under the age of 16, except on some of our childrens websites that specifically label this, in which case we will collect such data in accordance with local laws and regulations applicable to the privacy of children. If parents or guardians provide consent for the child to submit personal data, we ask children only for the data necessary to participate in the program for which the child is registering.


  Special Note to Children under the age of 16

If you are under the age of 16, you should consult your parent or guardian BEFORE disclosing any personal information. You should seek guidance from your parent or guardian if you have questions regarding anything written in this section.


  Special Note to Parents of Children under the age of 16

We recommend that parents/guardians regularly check and monitor their childrens use of e-mail and other online activities. Please be sure to inform your child not to provide personally identifiable data online, prior to obtaining your consent.
All visitors under the age of 16 will be asked to supply a parents or guardians e-mail address. This is so that we can forward to the parents or guardians a copy of every e-mail we send to children.
You can, at any point in time, review your childs personal data and have it modified or deleted online. Alternatively, you can also ask us to delete any of your childrens data by sending us a deletion request through e-mail, postal mail, or fax to the address given in the contact details set out in the Contact Us section.
