To plan and deliver barangay programs, projects and services (for example health, animal welfare, senior citizen and disaster-preparedness programs), using statistics wherever possible
To protect the security of the website and prevent fraud, abuse or misrepresentation
We do not use your personal data for commercial marketing, and we do not make decisions about you by purely automated means.
4. Our legal basis
Legal mandate. Section 394(d)(6) of Republic Act No. 7160 (Local Government Code of 1991) requires the barangay to keep an updated record of all inhabitants of the barangay, including name, address, place and date of birth, sex, civil status, citizenship and occupation. This is implemented through DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2005-69, "Maintenance and Updating of Records of All Inhabitants of the Barangay".
Public authority. Processing that is necessary to fulfil the barangay's functions as a public authority (DPA, Section 12(e)), and processing of sensitive personal information that is provided for by existing laws and regulations (DPA, Section 13(b)).
Your consent. For information that goes beyond what the law requires, we rely on the consent you give when you tick the agreement box at registration, when prompted after these documents are updated, or in person as a walk-in applicant (DPA, Sections 12(a) and 13(a)). You may withdraw consent at any time; see "Your rights" below.
5. Who can see your data
Authorized barangay officials and staff who process resident card requests and resident records, each with their own account and access limited to their role
Purok leaders, only for the requests assigned to them for delivery, and only the details needed to deliver your card
Service providers that host or transmit data on our behalf under their own security commitments: our cloud database provider, our image and document hosting provider (Cloudinary), and our email service provider. Some of these providers store data on servers outside the Philippines.
Other government agencies, courts or law enforcement, only when required by law or a lawful order
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data.
6. How we protect your data
Access to resident data requires an individual staff account, and access is limited by role
Passwords are stored in hashed form, and connections to the website are encrypted (HTTPS)
Changes to the status of a request are logged with the staff account that made them
Uploaded photos and documents are stored with our hosting provider and are not listed publicly
If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to put you at risk, we will notify the National Privacy Commission and the affected residents as the law requires
7. How long we keep your data
We keep your personal data for as long as you are a resident of the barangay and your record is needed for the purposes above, and afterwards for [RETENTION PERIOD — e.g. "five (5) years", to be set by the barangay in line with its records-retention rules], unless a longer period is required by law. Contact Us messages are kept for [RETENTION PERIOD FOR MESSAGES — e.g. "one (1) year"]. After that, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
8. Your rights
Under the Data Privacy Act you have the right to:
Be informed that your personal data is being collected and processed, which is the purpose of this notice
Access the personal data we hold about you
Object to the processing of your data, and withdraw consent you previously gave
Rectify inaccurate or outdated data
Erasure or blocking of data that is incomplete, outdated, unlawfully obtained, or no longer necessary
Data portability, to obtain a copy of your data in a commonly used electronic format
Damages if you suffer harm because of inaccurate, unlawfully obtained or misused data
File a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (privacy.gov.ph) if you believe your rights were violated
Some information must be kept because the law requires the barangay to maintain a record of its inhabitants. If we cannot fully act on a request for that reason, we will tell you why.
9. How to contact us or exercise your rights
Send your request or concern to our Data Protection Officer. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on a request.
