Privacy Notice

This notice applies to personal information handled by GC Abucay Packaging Corporation (No. 6, Purok 4, G. Marcelo St., Brgy. Maysan, Valenzuela City, Philippines) through this website, including quotation requests, enquiry messages, quotation correspondence and the customer portal. It is written to follow the general principles of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules: transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality.

For the information described here, GC Abucay Packaging acts as the personal information controller. Privacy enquiries are received at abucay_packaging@yahoo.com and directed to the responsible person within the company.

We collect only what is needed to review a requirement and respond to it.

Contact and identity details

Name, email address, company or business name, position or role where you provide it, and any delivery or pickup address you supply.

Requirement details

Box dimensions, quantities, board and printing preferences, what the packaging is intended to hold, target dates, and any notes you add to a request.

Files you upload

Artwork, drawings, photographs of an existing box, purchase orders and similar documents attached to a request or an order.

Correspondence

Messages exchanged about a request, quotation or order, including clarifications raised during technical review.

Transaction records

Quotation versions issued to you, your acceptance or revision requests, and purchase orders you submit.

Limited technical information

Information generated automatically when a page or request is served, such as the date and time of a submission and basic request data kept for security and error diagnosis.

You are not asked for government identification numbers, payment card details or bank credentials anywhere on this website. Please do not include them in a message or an uploaded file.

Processing quotation requests

Recording your request, allocating a reference number, and carrying out technical review of the specification.

Preparing and issuing quotations

Costing the specification, preparing the written quotation, issuing revised versions, and recording acceptance.

Communication

Contacting you for clarification, sending the quotation link, and answering enquiries you send.

Order processing

Handling an accepted quotation, the purchase order raised against it, production scheduling, and delivery or pickup arrangements.

Recordkeeping

Keeping accurate business records of quotations, orders and transactions, including records we are required to retain for accounting, tax and other legal obligations.

Security and integrity

Protecting the website and its records against unauthorised access, misuse, and loss.

Depending on the situation, processing is based on your consent, on steps taken at your request before entering a contract, on the performance of a contract, on our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the business, or on a legal obligation. Where processing depends on consent, you may withdraw it, and doing so does not affect processing already carried out.

We do not sell personal information.

Your details are not sold, rented or traded to anyone.

We do not build advertising profiles.

Your information is not used for behavioural advertising or shared with advertising networks.

We do not pre-tick consent.

No marketing consent is ever selected on your behalf. Any optional consent must be given by you, deliberately, and can be withdrawn.

We do not expose customer records to other customers.

Access to a request, quotation or file is limited to the customer it belongs to and to authorised company personnel.

Running the website requires a small number of service providers, described here by the role they perform rather than as endorsements. Each is engaged to process information only on our instruction, for the purpose stated, and under confidentiality and security obligations.

Website hosting

Serves the pages and the application, and keeps operational logs needed to run and secure the service.

Database and file storage

Stores request records, quotations and the files you upload. Uploaded files are held in private storage and are reachable only through short-lived, access-controlled links.

Transactional email delivery

Delivers messages such as acknowledgements, clarification requests and quotation links to the address you provide. These providers do not use your address for their own marketing.

Some providers may process or store information outside the Philippines. Where that happens, we remain accountable for the information and require protection consistent with this notice. Information may also be disclosed to professional advisers, or to a competent authority, where we are legally required to do so.

Information is kept only as long as there is a purpose for it, and then disposed of securely.

Requests that do not proceed

Retained for a reasonable period so the specification can be revived if you return, and so we can show how an enquiry was handled.

Quotations, orders and transaction records

Retained for the period required by accounting, tax and other applicable legal obligations, and for the period a claim relating to the transaction could still be made.

Uploaded files

Retained while they are needed for the quotation or the order they belong to, and for any subsequent repeat order based on the same specification.

Specific retention periods are set as part of the company records policy and are confirmed by the company on request. Where you ask for information to be deleted, we will do so unless we are required or entitled to keep it, and we will tell you which applies.

As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act you may exercise the following rights, subject to the conditions and exceptions in the law.

To be informed

To know that your personal information is being or will be processed, and for what purpose.

To access

To obtain a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and details of how it has been processed.

To erasure or blocking

To exercise any of these, write to abucay_packaging@yahoo.com, stating what you are asking for and enough detail to locate your records. We may need to verify your identity before acting, so that we do not disclose information to the wrong person.

We apply organisational, physical and technical measures appropriate to the information we hold.

Encrypted transmission

Pages and submissions are served over an encrypted connection.

Private file storage

Uploaded files are never published to a public address. Access is granted through short-lived links issued to an authorised viewer.

Access control

Company access is limited by role to the personnel who need it, and customer access is limited to the records belonging to that customer.

Record of activity

Administrative actions on records are logged so changes can be traced.

Data minimisation

Fields that are not needed to quote or fulfil an order are not requested.

No system can be guaranteed completely secure. If a breach affecting your personal information occurs and the law requires notification, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission as required.

This website does not use advertising cookies and does not share your activity with advertising networks. Storage used by the browser is limited to what is necessary for the site to function - for example, keeping a form step or a signed-in session working. Where any optional measurement is introduced in future, this notice will be updated before it is enabled.

This website addresses businesses and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a minor. If you believe a minor has submitted information here, write to abucay_packaging@yahoo.com so it can be removed.

This notice may be updated as the website and the business change. The current version is always the one published on this page, and a material change will be reflected in the review date shown above.
