Privacy and Cookie Notice
Effective date: September 16, 2026
Golden Treasure Skills & Development Program respects your privacy. This notice explains how we process personal information when you browse this website, ask about training, join a waitlist, start or complete an enrollment, provide proof of payment, receive seminar communications, or exercise a privacy right. It is written with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and relevant National Privacy Commission guidance in mind.
Who controls your information
Golden Treasure Skills & Development Program
#9 Anonas Rd., Project 3, Quezon City, Philippines
Privacy contact: Privacy Officer / Data Protection Officer
Email: inquiry@goldentreasureskills.ph
Phone: 7118-6924 / 0947 288 8719 / 0917 533 2105
Information we process
- Inquiries: name, email address, mobile number, program of interest, training type, and message.
- Enrollment and waitlists: contact details, selected seminar, schedule, payment choice, enrollment status, attendance-related details, and messages you submit.
- Incomplete enrollment: only when you actively agree, the details entered so far, the form step, selected seminar, reminder history, secure resume token, opt-out status, and whether the enrollment was later completed.
- Payment confirmation: payment method or plan, amount, payment reference, payment date, and uploaded proof of payment. Do not send card passwords, PINs, one-time passwords, or full card details.
- Seminar access: pass or QR identifiers and status used to validate participation.
- Website and security: essential cookies, consent preferences, limited technical logs, and short-lived rate-limiting identifiers. Aggregate interaction counts may be used to improve seminar pages and enrollment steps.
- Privacy requests: identity and contact details, request type, verification state, correspondence, and outcome.
Why we use it
We use personal information to answer inquiries; take steps you request before enrollment; reserve and administer seminar places; verify payments; send service messages; provide passes and training records; recover a consented incomplete enrollment; keep the website secure; meet accounting, tax, legal, and regulatory obligations; establish or defend legal claims; and improve services using proportionate information.
The lawful basis depends on the activity and may be consent, steps requested before entering a contract, performance of a contract, legal obligation, protection of lawful rights and interests, or another basis allowed by Philippine law. Promotional marketing is separate from essential enrollment messages and incomplete-enrollment reminders. Where consent is relied on, it can be withdrawn as easily as it was given.
Incomplete enrollment reminders
If you tick the reminder permission in the enrollment form, we may save the information entered up to that point and send a limited number of reminders containing a secure resume link. Every reminder provides a way to stop future reminders. Opting out stops reminder use; it does not prevent necessary communication about an enrollment you later submit. An expired or no-longer-available seminar will not be promoted as available.
Payments and service providers
Payment confirmation may involve Bank or e-wallet providers selected by the enrollee. Website operations also rely on Website hosting provider and Website email service provider. Providers receive only information reasonably needed for their role and may process information under their own notices. Some providers may process information outside the Philippines; appropriate contractual, organizational, and security safeguards should be used for those transfers.
Cookies and similar technologies
Necessary technologies support security, enrollment, session continuity, and storage of your privacy choice. They cannot be switched off through our preference panel. Functional technologies enable optional features. Analytics technologies help measure website use. Marketing technologies support advertising measurement or personalization. Properly classified optional scripts remain off unless you choose them. You can revisit your choice at any time using the Privacy choices button.
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may disclose proportionate information to authorized staff, instructors where operationally necessary, hosting and email providers, payment or financial providers, professional advisers, security vendors, and public authorities where required or permitted by law. Access should be limited according to role and need.
Retention
Incomplete enrollment drafts are normally kept for up to 90 days unless completed, opted out, or deletion is appropriate sooner. Consent event records are normally kept for up to 730 days to demonstrate and respect choices. Completed privacy-request records are normally kept for up to 1095 days. Enrollment, payment, attendance, accounting, and tax records may require different periods based on their purpose and applicable law. When no longer necessary, information should be securely deleted, anonymized, or destroyed.
Your rights
Subject to applicable conditions, you may ask to be informed, access your data, correct inaccurate data, object to processing, withdraw consent, request blocking or deletion, obtain portability where applicable, and seek damages or file a complaint. We may verify identity and may retain information where a lawful obligation or valid exception applies.
Use our privacy request form or contact inquiry@goldentreasureskills.ph. You may also contact the Philippine National Privacy Commission through its official channels.
Security and updates
We use reasonable organizational, physical, and technical measures appropriate to the information and risks. No internet service is completely risk-free. We may update this notice when services, vendors, or legal requirements change; a material change may cause the privacy-choice panel to be shown again.
