Your privacy,
explained clearly.

1. Who is responsible for your data

For information collected through this website, the personal information controller is:

2. Information I collect

Information you provide

I may collect information that you voluntarily submit, including:

• your name and email address;
• your company or organization, if provided;
• the service or type of help you are interested in;
• your preferred meeting date and time;
• notes, project details, messages, or files you choose to send; and
• other information you provide during an inquiry or professional engagement.

Information collected automatically

When you use the website, limited technical information may be processed automatically, such as:

• IP address;
• browser and device type;
• operating system;
• referring page and pages visited;
• date, time, and approximate session activity;
• language and timezone; and
• approximate location or network information derived from an IP address, such as country, city, internet provider, or autonomous system number.

The booking page uses timezone information so available meeting times can be shown correctly for your location.

The website may also contain a Digital Footprint demonstration that displays selected browser, device, network, timezone, or approximate location information already made available during a normal web request. This feature is educational. Information used by the demonstration may also appear in ordinary hosting or security logs.

3. How I use your information

I may use personal data to:

• respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
• arrange, confirm, and manage discovery calls or meetings;
• understand your project and prepare a proposal;
• provide requested services and maintain client records;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website;
• understand general website usage and content performance;
• detect spam, fraud, misuse, or security threats;
• comply with legal, regulatory, tax, or contractual obligations; and
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims when necessary.

I process personal data only when there is an appropriate basis, such as your consent, steps requested before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or a legitimate interest that does not override your rights.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files or browser records that help a website function, remember choices, protect forms, and understand usage.

This website may use:

• Essential cookies or local storage needed for security, navigation, forms, accessibility, or basic site functions;
• Preference technologies that remember choices such as cookie settings; and
• Analytics technologies, if enabled, that help measure visits and understand which pages are useful.

Non-essential analytics or marketing cookies should not be activated where consent is required unless you choose to allow them. You may change your choice through the site's cookie controls, if available, or through your browser settings. Blocking essential technologies may affect how parts of the website work.

I do not sell your personal data. I also do not use cookies to secretly collect the contents of your private messages, files, or accounts.

5. When information may be shared

I may share only the information reasonably necessary with service providers that help operate the website or deliver requested services, such as:

• website hosting and security providers;
• scheduling, calendar, and video-meeting providers;
• email and form-delivery providers;
• cloud storage or workspace providers; and
• analytics providers, if analytics are enabled.

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy obligations. Some may operate outside the Philippines.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to a lawful request, protect a person or the website from harm, investigate fraud or misuse, enforce an agreement, or protect legal rights.

I do not disclose personal data to unrelated third parties for their own direct marketing in exchange for payment.

6. International processing

Because this website and its service providers may operate across different countries, personal data may be processed outside your country of residence. Where required, reasonable safeguards will be used to protect the information during international processing or transfer.

7. How long information is kept

Information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, security, dispute-resolution, and contractual needs.

As a general guide:

• routine inquiries and unsuccessful booking requests may be kept for up to 24 months after the last interaction;
• confirmed booking and client records may be kept for the duration of the relationship and for the period required by applicable legal, tax, contractual, or professional obligations; and
• technical and security logs may be retained for a shorter operational period unless they are needed to investigate abuse, fraud, or a security incident.

Information may be deleted sooner when it is no longer required or when a valid deletion request applies.

8. How information is protected

I use reasonable organizational and technical measures designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

9. Your privacy rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

• be informed about how your personal data is processed;
• request access to your personal data;
• correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• request erasure or blocking when legally available;
• request data portability when applicable;
• raise a concern or file a complaint; and
• seek compensation where provided by law.

To make a request, email hello@aleanadeleon.com with the subject line Privacy Request. I may need to verify your identity before acting on the request. Some information may need to be retained when required by law or for legitimate legal purposes.

If you believe your rights under Philippine privacy law have been violated, you may also contact the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines through privacy.gov.ph.

10. Third-party websites

This website links to third-party platforms, client websites, social profiles, repositories, scheduling tools, and other external services. Their privacy practices are controlled by them, not by me. Review their policies before submitting personal data.

11. Children's privacy

This website is intended for professional and general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children through the website. If you believe a child has submitted information, please contact me so it can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.

12. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, its tools, or legal requirements change. The latest version will appear on this page with its effective date. Material changes may also be highlighted on the website when appropriate.
