Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 10, 2026
Last updated: July 10, 2026

PRCLERIS.PH (“we,” “our,” “this website”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to this policy.

Information We Collect

1. Information you provide voluntarily

  • Comments: if you comment on a guide, we collect the name, email address, and comment content you submit, plus your IP address and browser user agent string (standard WordPress comment handling, used for spam detection).
  • Contact messages: if you email us or use a contact form, we receive the details you choose to send.

We never ask for — and you should never send — PRC account credentials, OTPs, license numbers, government IDs, or payment information.

2. Information collected automatically

  • Log and analytics data: like most websites, we (and our analytics tools) automatically receive non-identifying technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring pages, and visit timestamps. We use this to understand which guides help readers and to improve the site.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored by your browser. See the cookies section below.

3. Tool inputs stay in your browser

Our interactive tools (fee estimators, validity checkers, and similar) run entirely in your browser. Inputs you type into them — such as birth months or unit counts — are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Cookies and Third-Party Advertising

Google AdSense. This website displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie and similar advertising cookies — to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ cookie use at www.aboutads.info/choices.

Analytics. We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that set their own cookies to measure site usage. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

Your cookie choices. You can refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect some site features but the guides remain fully readable.

How We Use Information

  1. To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its guides.
  2. To respond to messages and corrections you send us.
  3. To moderate comments and prevent spam and abuse.
  4. To measure content performance through aggregated analytics.
  5. To display advertising that keeps the site free.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.

Legal Basis and Philippine Data Privacy

We process the limited personal data described above based on your consent (comments, contact messages) and our legitimate interest in operating a free informational website (analytics, security). We honor the principles of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) — transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality — and collect only what the site’s operation genuinely requires.

Data Sharing

Personal information is shared only with: (a) service providers that make the site work — hosting, spam filtering, analytics, and advertising partners such as Google, each governed by their own privacy policies; and (b) authorities where disclosure is required by law.

Data Retention

Comments and contact messages are retained while relevant to the site’s operation or until you request deletion. Analytics data is retained per the analytics provider’s standard schedule.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you’ve provided (such as comments or emails) by contacting prcleris1@gmail.com. We will act on legitimate requests within a reasonable period.

Children’s Privacy

This website provides government-service information intended for professionals and adult examinees. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us for deletion.

External Links

Guides link to official government websites and other resources. Their privacy practices are their own — review their policies when you visit them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site or regulations evolve. The “Last updated” date above reflects the current version, and continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
