Our Privacy Policy regarding children

CPGI is very sensitive to privacy issues and we are especially careful in any communications with one of our most treasured customers – children. We will never collect personal data from children directly, without the parent’s or guardian’s consent.

When we say “Children”, we refer to person below eighteen (18) years of age or those over but are unable to fully take care of themselves or protect themselves from abuse, neglect, cruelty, exploitation or discrimination because of a physical or mental disability or condition.

In some of our advertisement and promotions we may include photo and video of children. In such instance, we always ensure that proper permits, express consent of the Parents and/or Guardian and/or the children involved were obtained. Such materials will be used to promote CPGI products only.

Personal data collected from children is used solely by CPGI and its authorized entities that provide technical, fulfillment or other services to it. Consent of the Parents and/or Guardians and/or the children are obtained for this purpose as well.

The best interests of children is the paramount consideration of CPGI in all actions concerning them.

Where and how long do we keep your personal data?

Century Properties reserves the right to retain your personal data in our files located in the Philippines under certain circumstances, consistent with the provision of Data Privacy in lawful processing, such as when your personal data may be necessary to resolve disputes, or if Century Properties is required to do so by law or in the good faith; provided that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation and/or protect and defend the rights or property of Century Properties or its affiliates. If Century Properties is required to retain any portion of your personal data for such purposes, it shall use reasonable efforts to limit such data to what is necessary to accomplish the particular purpose.

If there are changes in our Privacy Policy

From time to time, it may be necessary for CPGI to change this Privacy Policy. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version here and will take effect immediately, so we suggest that you check here periodically for the most up-to-date version of our Privacy Policy. Rest assured, however, that any changes will not be retroactively applied and will not alter how we handle previously collected personal data without obtaining your consent, unless required by law.
