Privacy Notice

This notice explains how the Sta. Monica Youth Hub, run by the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) of Barangay Sta. Monica, Lubao, Pampanga, handles personal information on this site. It follows the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173).

You can read the public pages (events, updates, documents, partners, about and contact) without giving us any personal information.

Only if you sign up: your name, birthday, address (purok), email, contact number and a password. If you are under 18, we also record your parent or guardian's name and their consent.

When you take part: the events you register for and attend, stamps and rewards you earn, Hub visits, and any feedback or suggestion you send.

Only if you turn on notifications: a token that lets your phone or browser receive push messages from the Hub.

For everyone: a session cookie that keeps you signed in and keeps forms working, and a simple count of which pages are opened and whether it was a phone or a computer. These counts do not identify anyone.

To run Youth Hub programs, confirm who you are, approve memberships, record attendance and rewards, send you announcements and reminders, and report on youth participation to the SK and barangay.

We do not use your information for advertising and we never sell it.

Only authorized SK and barangay officers who manage the Hub. Officers sign in with their own password and a two-step login.

Youth Voices board: only if you allow it when you send a suggestion, an SK officer may post it on the public board with your first name and last initial, or as "Anonymous youth" if you keep your name private. You can take it down at any time under My submissions.

To run the system we use a hosting provider, an email service (for sign-up codes and approvals), a content delivery and security service, and an encrypted backup storage. They handle data only to provide those services.

Passwords are stored scrambled, never in plain text. Connections to the site are encrypted. Staff areas need two-step login. Backups are encrypted and taken twice a day. Every important officer action is recorded in an activity log.

A sign-up whose email is not confirmed within 7 days is removed automatically.

Member information is kept while your account is active, so your attendance and rewards stay on record. If you ask us to delete your account, your personal details are removed.

You may be informed about how your data is used, see it, correct it, object to its use, ask for it to be blocked or deleted, and ask for a copy of it. You may also claim damages if your data is misused.

You can see and fix your details, and ask to delete your account, on your Profile page at any time.

If you are unhappy with how your information is handled, you may complain to the National Privacy Commission (privacy.gov.ph).

Signing up needs your clear agreement to this notice, and a parent or guardian's agreement if you are under 18. You can refuse and still use every public page. You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account.

If we change how we handle your information, we will update this page.
