Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

At a glance

We collect only what you send us (such as your name, number and message) and what we need to complete a property transaction.
We use it to answer your inquiry, arrange viewings and, if you go ahead, complete the sale or listing.
We never sell your information. We share it only with the people involved in your transaction, our service providers, and government offices when the law requires it.
This website uses no advertising or tracking cookies.
You can ask to see, correct or delete your information at any time: invest8property@gmail.com.

1. Who we are

Buy Manila Condo is a real estate brokerage in the Philippines (PRC Real Estate Broker License No. 005171). We market and sell condominiums, house and lots, lots, office spaces and commercial properties on behalf of their owners, and we help buyers and investors find and purchase property.

For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC), Buy Manila Condo is the personal information controller for the information described in this policy. This policy applies to this website and to the conversations, viewings and transactions that start from it. Your use of the website is also governed by our Terms and Conditions.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

Inquiry and contact forms: your full name, mobile number, email address, what you are interested in (buying, investing or selling), your message, the property you asked about, the page you sent it from, and your consent.
If you are selling or listing a property: the property details you share, such as the building or address, unit, size, asking price, photos and whether it is tenanted.
Calls and messages: anything you tell us by phone, SMS, Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or email, including your number or account name on those apps.
If you proceed with a transaction: what is needed to complete it and to meet legal requirements, which can include government-issued IDs, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), civil status, address, proof of income or source of funds, bank or loan details, and documents for the sale, such as the reservation agreement, contract to sell, deed of sale, title and tax declarations. We usually collect these directly from you, not through this website.

Information collected automatically

Server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider records technical details when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request, and the date and time. These are used to keep the site secure and working.
Form security cookie: when you send a form, a temporary session cookie is set so we can block repeated automated submissions (spam). It contains no personal details and is deleted when you close your browser.
No analytics or advertising tracking: this website does not currently use analytics, advertising pixels or tracking cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy first.

Information from others

Property owners, co-brokers and developers (for example, when an owner refers you or a buyer’s offer is sent to us).
Banks or Pag-IBIG, about the status of a loan you applied for.
Public records used to verify a property, such as the Registry of Deeds and the city or municipal assessor.

3. How we use it and why

We only process personal information when we have a lawful basis under the Data Privacy Act:

What we do	Lawful basis
Reply to your inquiry, send matching listings you asked for, and arrange viewings	Your consent, and steps you asked for before a contract
Market your property, handle offers and coordinate the sale if you list with us	Our agreement with you (contract)
Prepare and complete a purchase: reservation, financing, taxes, deed of sale and title transfer	Contract, and legal obligation
Verify identity and source of funds, keep records and report when required under anti-money-laundering rules	Legal obligation (RA 9160 as amended, including RA 11521, which covers real estate brokers)
Keep this website secure and prevent spam and fraud	Legitimate interest
Send you new listings and updates you did not specifically request	Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time
Establish, exercise or defend legal claims	Legitimate interest and as allowed by law

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that has legal or similar effects on you.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only when needed, and only what is needed:

The other side of your transaction: the property owner or seller and their broker (when you inquire about or make an offer on a unit), or interested buyers (when you list with us).
People who help complete the sale: building administration (for viewings and move-in), banks or Pag-IBIG (if you apply for a loan), lawyers and notaries public.
Government offices: the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the local treasurer and assessor, the Registry of Deeds, and the Anti-Money Laundering Council when the law requires it, as well as courts or authorities under a lawful order.
Our service providers: our web hosting and email-delivery provider, and Google (Gmail), where inquiries from this website are delivered. They process the information only to provide their service to us.
Messaging apps you choose: if you contact us by Viber, WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, those services (Rakuten Viber and Meta) also process your messages under their own privacy policies.
Google Maps: maps on property pages load only when you click Show map or Open in Google Maps. Google then receives your IP address and browser details under its own privacy policy.

5. Transfers outside the Philippines

Some of our service providers, such as Google, Meta and Rakuten Viber, may store or process information on servers outside the Philippines. When this happens, we rely on providers that maintain security measures and contractual commitments comparable to the protection required under Philippine law, and we remain responsible for your information.

6. Cookies and website technology

Session cookie (PHPSESSID): set only when you submit a form, to stop spam. Deleted when you close your browser.
Google Maps: Google may set its own cookies, but only after you choose to load a map.

The site’s fonts and images are served from our own website, not from third-party services. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the website will still work, though a form may ask you to try again.

7. How long we keep it

Inquiries that do not lead to a transaction: up to 2 years from our last contact with you, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
Transaction records and identity checks: at least 5 years after the transaction is completed, as required by anti-money-laundering rules, and longer if needed for tax or legal purposes.
Server logs: kept only for the short period set by our hosting provider for security and troubleshooting.

When information is no longer needed, we delete it securely or anonymize it.

8. How we protect it

We use reasonable organizational, physical and technical measures to protect your information, including an encrypted (HTTPS) connection on this website, spam protection on our forms, access limited to people who need it to serve you, password-protected accounts, and secure handling of printed documents.

No system is completely secure. If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to put you at real risk of serious harm, we will notify the National Privacy Commission and the affected individuals within 72 hours of knowing about it, as required by NPC rules.

9. Your rights

Under the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to:

Be informed about whether and how your personal information is being processed.
Access your personal information and request a copy.
Object to processing, including for marketing, and withdraw your consent at any time.
Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Have your information erased or blocked when it is no longer needed, was unlawfully obtained, or you withdraw consent (unless we must keep it by law).
Data portability: receive your information in an electronic, commonly used format.
Claim damages for harm caused by inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, false or unlawfully obtained information, or its unauthorized use.
File a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (privacy.gov.ph).

To exercise these rights, email invest8property@gmail.com or call 0961 441 9220. We may ask you to confirm your identity first, and we will reply within 15 working days. Exercising your rights is free. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing we already did, or processing we must continue by law or to complete a transaction you started.

10. Marketing messages

We only send you new listings, price updates or other promotional messages if you agreed to receive them or asked us to. You can stop them at any time by replying “STOP”, telling us on the channel we used, or emailinginvest8property@gmail.com.

11. Children

This website and our services are meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us their information, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Other websites

Our site links to other websites and apps, such as Google Maps, Viber, WhatsApp and Facebook. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their own policies.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The “last updated” date at the top shows the latest version. If we make significant changes, we will highlight them on this page.
