Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 21, 2025 • Last Updated: September 21, 2025

Federal PH ("we," "our," "us") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose information when you use our website and social media platform (the "Platform"). By accessing or using the Platform you consent to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

Account Information: Email address (required), username, and password. Phone number may be collected in the future as an optional verification method.
Profile Information: Any optional profile details you choose to provide.
Content: Posts, comments, replies, images, files, and other material you upload or share on the Platform.
Technical Data: Device type, operating system, browser type, IP address, and usage logs.
Verification Data: We may request limited identification in the future for safety, fraud prevention, or other community-protection reasons.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the Platform and our services.
Enable communication and participation among users.
Detect and prevent abuse, spam, fraud, or other harmful activity.
Comply with legal obligations only when strictly unavoidable.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We will only share information in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: With third parties who provide hosting, analytics, email delivery, or other operational services on our behalf.
Legal Process: If compelled by a valid court order or other legal process under Philippine law, we may be required to disclose information.
Protecting Rights & Safety: When necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Federal PH, our users, or the public.

We do not voluntarily cooperate with governments or other third parties seeking user identities or platform data. We disclose information to authorities only when we have no legal alternative.

4. Data Storage & Security

Data is stored in the Philippines or any country we see fit; by using the Platform you consent to such storage and processing.
We retain data indefinitely unless a specific category is set to auto-delete. Certain inactive or temporary data may be removed automatically.
We implement reasonable, industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect data, but no system is completely secure.

We strongly encourage users who require anonymity to use pseudonyms, VPNs, secure devices, and end-to-end encryption where possible.

5. User Responsibilities & Moderation

Users are solely responsible for the content they post and share. Federal PH is operated by a small team and cannot actively monitor or moderate all user activity. We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts in accordance with our policies, but we are not responsible for user-generated content, interactions, or outcomes that result from using the Platform.

6. Use at Your Own Risk

The Platform is provided "as is". You use the Platform at your own risk. Federal PH is not liable for damages, losses, or harms arising from user interactions, content, or third-party services linked from the Platform.

7. International Access

The Platform can be accessed from jurisdictions worldwide. If you access the Platform from outside the Philippines, you consent to transfer and storage of your information in the Philippines or any country we see fit.

8. Your Rights

We will make reasonable efforts, within our capacity as a small team, to respond to requests to access, correct, or delete personal data. Send requests to the contact email below. Note that we may be limited in our ability to comply with some international privacy law requirements (for example, GDPR or CCPA) due to our size and resources.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Platform is strictly for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. Accounts discovered to belong to persons under 18 will be removed.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on the Platform with the updated effective date. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
