Last updated: June 2, 2026.
This Privacy Policy explains how PesoBuddy handles information when you visit the website, read guides, use calculators, sign up for updates, or interact with future PesoBuddy features. This page is written for the current PesoBuddy website and should be reviewed again before adding new forms, analytics tools, advertising pixels, paid products, or the finsight app.
What This Policy Covers
This policy applies to PesoBuddy pages, guides, tools, calculators, newsletter signup sections, and other content published on the PesoBuddy website. It does not apply to third-party websites, banks, apps, government websites, or services linked from PesoBuddy. Those services have their own privacy practices.
Information PesoBuddy May Collect
PesoBuddy is designed to collect as little personal information as practical for a finance content and tools website. Depending on how you use the site, PesoBuddy may collect or receive:
- Email address, if you choose to sign up for PesoBuddy updates, newsletter emails, launch updates, or waitlist notices.
- Message details, if a contact form or email contact option is added and you choose to send a message.
- Technical and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring pages, timestamps, and basic server logs from hosting, security, or analytics services if enabled.
- Calculator inputs entered into PesoBuddy calculators. These are currently processed in your browser for estimates and are not intentionally stored by PesoBuddy as personal records.
- Admin or content information for authorized Strapi users who manage PesoBuddy content. This does not apply to ordinary website readers.
How PesoBuddy Uses Information
PesoBuddy may use information to:
- Send updates you requested, such as new guide alerts, calculator updates, and product launch notices.
- Operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website.
- Understand which guides, tools, and topics are useful so PesoBuddy can improve content and layout.
- Respond to messages or requests if contact features are added.
- Comply with legal obligations, protect rights, and prevent misuse of the website.
Newsletter And Updates
If you sign up for PesoBuddy updates, the email address you provide may be used to send newsletters, guide updates, calculator updates, announcements, or launch notices for PesoBuddy-related tools. You can unsubscribe when an unsubscribe option is available in the email, or contact PesoBuddy through the official contact details published on the website. PesoBuddy does not sell newsletter email addresses.
Calculator Inputs
PesoBuddy calculators are intended for quick planning estimates. Current calculator inputs are processed in the browser so the calculator can show results. PesoBuddy does not intentionally store calculator entries as financial profiles. Avoid entering sensitive personal details unless a future tool clearly explains why that data is needed and how it will be handled.
Cookies, Local Storage, And Third-Party Services
The current site does not include a dedicated advertising cookie banner or tracking pixel in the frontend code. The site may use basic browser storage for development or configuration, and third-party services may process limited technical data needed to load or operate the website. For example, PesoBuddy currently loads fonts from Google Fonts and loads media/content from Strapi. Hosting, security, email newsletter, and analytics providers may also process technical data if they are added or enabled later.
Google Search Console
PesoBuddy uses Google Search Console, including Search Console Insights, to understand how the site appears in Google Search and how readers discover PesoBuddy from search results. Search Console may show aggregated information such as search queries, pages, clicks, impressions, click-through rate, average position, country, device, and date range. PesoBuddy uses this information to improve guides, tools, page titles, technical SEO, and the overall usefulness of the website.
Google Search Console reports are provided by Google and are based on Google Search performance data, not on personal finance details entered into PesoBuddy calculators. This tool does not give PesoBuddy your Google account password or the personal financial information you may have entered into Google or other services. Google processes information according to its own privacy policy and service terms.
When Information May Be Shared
PesoBuddy may share limited information with service providers that help run the website, such as hosting providers, email newsletter providers, analytics tools, security services, or content management services. PesoBuddy may also share information if required by law, to protect the website, to prevent fraud or abuse, or as part of a future business transfer involving PesoBuddy.
Data Retention
PesoBuddy keeps information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected. Newsletter email addresses may be kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Technical logs may be kept for a limited period by hosting, security, or analytics providers. If a contact feature is added, messages may be kept long enough to respond and maintain records.
Security
PesoBuddy aims to use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate for a small finance content website. However, no website, email system, hosting provider, or internet transmission is completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive account numbers, passwords, OTPs, government IDs, or private financial documents through ordinary website forms unless a secure process is clearly provided.
Your Privacy Rights
If Philippine data privacy law applies to your information, you may have rights such as the right to be informed, to access, to correct, to object, to request deletion or blocking, and to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission. PesoBuddy will review reasonable privacy requests according to applicable law and the information actually held by the site.
Children And Minors
PesoBuddy is a general finance education website and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. Minors should use PesoBuddy with guidance from a parent or guardian, especially when making financial decisions.
External Links
PesoBuddy may link to banks, government agencies, digital finance providers, app stores, and other third-party websites. Visiting those websites is outside PesoBuddy control. Review their privacy policies, terms, fees, and security practices before sharing personal information or opening accounts.
Changes To This Policy
PesoBuddy may update this Privacy Policy when the website adds new features, forms, analytics, newsletter tools, calculators, or apps. The updated date at the top of this page will show when the policy was last revised.
Contact
For privacy questions or requests, use the official contact details published on PesoBuddy. If a dedicated privacy email or contact form is added later, this page should be updated to show that contact method clearly.
