Data Privacy Policy regarding children 

CPGI is overly sensitive to data privacy issues and we are especially careful in any communication that involves one of our most treasured customers – children. We never collect personal data directly from children without the parent’s or guardian’s consent. 

When we say “children,” we refer to persons below eighteen (18) years of age or those over but are unable to fully take care of themselves or protect themselves from abuse, neglect, cruelty, exploitation, or discrimination because of a physical or mental disability or condition. 

Some of our advertisements and promotions may include photos and videos of children. In such instances, we always ensure that proper permits and express consent of the parents and/or guardians of the children involved were obtained prior to such engagements. The materials will be used to promote CPGI products only. 

Personal data collected from children is used solely by CPGI and the authorized entities that provide technical, fulfillment, or other services to it. The consent of the parents and/or guardians of the children is obtained for this purpose as well.  

The best interests of the children are the paramount consideration of CPGI in all actions concerning them.  

Where and how long do we keep your personal data? 

CPGI reserves the right to retain your personal data in our database located in the Philippines under certain circumstances, consistent with the provisions of the Data Privacy Act on its lawful processing, such as but not limited to, when your personal data is necessary to resolve disputes or if CPGI is being required to do so by law; provided that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation and/or protect and defend the rights or property of CPGI or its affiliates. If CPGI is required to retain any portion of your personal data for such purposes, it shall use reasonable efforts to limit such data to what is necessary to accomplish the particular purpose.  

If there are changes in our Data Privacy Policy 

From time to time, it may be necessary for CPGI to change this Data Privacy Policy. If we change our Data Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version here, and will take effect immediately, so we suggest that you check here periodically for the most up-to-date version of our Data Privacy Policy. Rest assured, however, that any changes will not be retroactively applied and will not alter how we manage previously collected personal data without obtaining your consent unless required by law.
