Privacy Policy

Better NAIA respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have when using our website.

This policy is written with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, also known as Republic Act No. 10173, in mind. The law protects personal information and promotes the privacy rights of individuals. The National Privacy Commission also recognizes the principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality in personal data processing.

1. Who we are

Better NAIA is a website that provides information, guides, and advisories related to NAIA and air travel.

2. Personal information we collect

You do not need to provide personal information to access or use Better NAIA.

We do not require you to create an account, sign in, submit your name, or provide contact details to browse the site.

However, some technical information may be collected automatically when you visit the website.

3. Information collected automatically

First-party cookies

Better NAIA may use first-party cookies to remember which advisories you have already read. This helps improve your browsing experience by preventing the same advisories from being shown to you repeatedly.

These cookies are used only for site functionality.

Server logs

Like most websites, our server may automatically record basic technical information when you visit Better NAIA. This may include:

• Your IP address
• Browser type
• Device type
• Pages visited
• Date and time of access
• Referring page or website

We use server logs to keep the website secure, diagnose technical issues, understand traffic patterns, and improve performance.

4. Third-party services

Better NAIA uses some third-party services to help operate and improve the website.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This helps us improve Better NAIA, such as by seeing which pages are useful, which pages need improvement, and how visitors move through the website.

Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, device and browser information, approximate location, and interactions with the site.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to monetize the website.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, measure ad performance, and personalize advertising depending on your settings and applicable law.

Better NAIA does not control Google's cookies or advertising technologies. Google is responsible for how it processes information through its own services.

5. How we use information

We may use collected information to:

• Keep the website working properly
• Remember which advisories have already been read
• Understand how visitors use Better NAIA
• Improve site content, design, speed, and usability
• Detect and prevent abuse, spam, security threats, or technical problems
• Support advertising and monetization through Google AdSense

We do not sell personal information.

6. Legal basis and privacy principles

Where the Data Privacy Act of 2012 applies, we aim to process information according to the principles of:

Transparency: being clear about what information is collected and how it is used.
Legitimate purpose: using information only for valid website-related purposes.
Proportionality: collecting and using only what is reasonably needed.

The National Privacy Commission describes these as key data privacy principles under Philippine data protection rules.

7. Cookies and your choices

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Disabling cookies may affect some website features, such as remembering which advisories you have already read.

For Google-related advertising and analytics settings, you may manage your preferences through Google's own privacy and ad settings.

8. Data retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or allowed by law.

Server logs are retained for security, troubleshooting, analytics, and operational purposes, then deleted or anonymized when no longer needed.

9. Data sharing

We may share limited technical or usage information with service providers that help us operate the website, such as analytics, advertising, hosting, infrastructure, or security providers.

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable laws.

We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or lawful government request.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the website and any information processed through it against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.

However, no website, server, or internet transmission is completely secure.

11. Your rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, data subjects have rights that may include the right to be informed, access personal data, object to processing, request correction, request erasure or blocking, data portability, damages, and filing a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.

Because Better NAIA does not require personal information to access the site, we may not always have information that directly identifies you. Still, you may contact us if you have privacy-related questions or requests.

12. Children's privacy

Better NAIA is not intended to collect personal information from children. We do not knowingly require children to provide personal information to use the site.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above.

Continued use of Better NAIA after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
