The Construction Authority of the Philippines respects and protects the privacy of our data subjects (employees, clients, service providers, and other stakeholders) in accordance with Republic Act No. 10173, or the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
This Privacy Policy provides an approximation on the collection, use, sharing, disclosure, retention, and disposal of Personal and Sensitive Personal Information as defined under the law. We shall ensure compliance with the strictest standards of security and confidentiality with respect to all personal or sensitive personal information submitted by our data subjects.
COLLECTION
We may collect personal or sensitive personal information provided to us voluntarily when you connect with us by any means (whether physical or digitally) through registrations, surveys, website usage, or in any other form where you may be in contact with our organization. We may also use software tools or other forms of data collection technology to automatically collect information that can be retrieved from publicly disclosed internet data.
USE AND SHARING
Personal or Sensitive Personal Information that we collect shall be used for legitimate purposes only and to the extent provided by the law. We may provide and share said information to our affiliates who need such information. These stakeholders are bound to us through data-sharing agreements or non-disclosure agreements that prohibit or limit the use of the information we have obtained from our data subjects.
SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We adopt reasonable physical and technical measures to safeguard the data we collect. However, no method of information systems security is completely secure. Further, data transmission over the internet or information stored on servers accessible online is not guaranteed to be safe. While we are putting all our efforts into safeguarding your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your personal or sensitive personal information shall not be disclosed without your express consent. You may ask the CIAP to refrain or discontinue collecting, using, or disclosing said information at any time. Your personal or sensitive personal information shall be disclosed if it is required by law.

Your personal or sensitive personal information shall be retained only for such period as necessary to serve the purpose for which it was collected, or as required under any contract or by any law, rule, or regulation. Thereafter, it shall be disposed of in a secure manner that would prevent further processing, unauthorized access, or disclosure to any other party.
