product offerings and to customize our Site's content, layout and service
specifically for you. We may use your Collected Information to service your

disputes and enforcing agreements with us. We do not sell, rent, trade or
exchange any personally-identifying information of our Users. We may share
certain aggregate information based on analysis of Collected Information with
our partners, customers, advertisers or potential Users. We may use your

messages on behalf of third parties; however, in these circumstances, your
Collected Information will not be disclosed to such third parties unless you
respond to the marketing, promotion or advertising message. Registration

OTOPphlippines.org determines that you might be interested. Specifically, we
may use your email address, mailing address, phone number or fax number to

offerings and communications relevant to your use of our Site. We may generate
reports and analysis based on the Registration Information for internal
analysis, monitoring and marketing decisions. Publishing
Information: All of your Publishing Information will be publicly available on
the Site and therefore accessible by any internet user. Any Publishing
Information that you disclose to OTOPphlippines.org becomes public information
and you relinquish any proprietary rights (including but not limited to the
rights of confidentiality and copyrights) in such information. You should
exercise caution when deciding to include personal or proprietary information
in the Publishing Information that you submit to us. Payment

or vendors relevant to the transaction in order to enable transactions to be
completed. In addition, OTOPphlippines.org may use Payment Information to
determine your credit-worthiness and, in the process of such determination,
OTOPphlippines.org may make such Payment Information available to banks or
credit agencies. Any credit card information that you provide through the Site
is directly submitted to a payment server of the credit card processing bank.
OTOPphlippines.org does not maintain electronic or physical copies of your

technology and internal procedures to guard your Payment Information against
intruders, there is no guarantee that such technology or procedure can
eliminate all of the risks of theft, loss or mis-use. OTOPphlippines.org shall
not be liable to you or any other person for any damages that might result from
unauthorized use, publication, disclosure or any other mis-use of Payment

maintain our computer servers, to manage our Site, and to enhance our Site and
services based on the usage pattern data we receive. We may generate reports
and analysis based on the Statistical Information for internal analysis,
monitoring and marketing decisions. We may provide Statistical Information to
third parties, but when we do so, we do not provide personally-identifying information
without your permission. Disclosure of Information We reserve the
right to disclose your Collected Information to relevant authorities where we
have reason to believe that such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact
or bring legal action against someone who may be infringing or threatening to
infringe, or who may otherwise be causing injury to or interference with, the
title, rights, interests or property of OTOPphlippines.org, our Users, customers,
partners, other web site users or anyone else who could be harmed by such
activities. We also reserve
the right to disclose Collected Information in response to a subpoena or other
judicial order or when we reasonably believe that such disclosure is required
by law, regulation or administrative order of any court, governmental or
regulatory authority. If we have
reason to believe that a User is in breach of the Terms of User Agreement or
any other agreement with us, then we reserve the right to make public or
otherwise disclose such User's Collected Information in order to pursue our
claim or prevent further injury to OTOP Philippines or others. Co-Branded Relationships We have
established relationships with other parties to offer you the benefit of other
products and services which we ourselves do not offer. We offer you access to
these other parties either through the use of hyperlinks to their sites from
our Site, or through offering "co-branded" sites in which both
ourselves and these other parties share the same uniform resource locator,
domain name or pages within a domain name on the Internet. In some cases you
may be required to submit information for purposes of registering or applying
for products or services provided by such third parties or co-branded partners.
The privacy policy of such other parties may differ from ours, and we may not
have any control over the information that you submit to such third parties or
co-branded sites. We therefore encourage you to read that policy before
responding to any offers, products or services provided by such other parties. Cookies We use
"cookies" to store specific information about you and track your
visits to our Site. It is not uncommon for websites to use cookies to enhance
identification of their users. A "cookie" is a small amount of data
that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie
can be sent to your computer's hard drive only if you access our Site using the
computer. If you do not de-activate or erase the cookie, each time you use the
same computer to access our Site, our web servers will be notified of your
visit to our Site and in turn we may have knowledge of your visit and the
pattern of your usage. Generally, we use cookies to identify you and enable us
to access your Registration Information, Publishing Information or Payment
Information so you do not have to re-enter it; gather statistical information
about usage by Users; research visiting patters and help target advertisements
based on User interests; assist our partners to track User visits to the Site
and process orders; and track progress and participation in promotions. You can
determine if and how a cookie will be accepted by configuring your browser's
which is installed in the computer you are using to access the Site. If you
desire, you can change those configurations in your browser. By setting your
preferences in the browser, you can accept all cookies, you can be notified
when a cookie is sent, or you can reject all cookies. If you reject all cookies
by choosing the cookie-disabling function in your browser, you may be required
to re-enter your information on our Site more often and certain features of our
Site may be unavailable. Minors The Site and
its contents are not intended to be targeted to minors under applicable law and
we do not intend to sell any of our products or services to minors. However, we
have no way of distinguishing the age of individuals who access our Site and so
we carry out the same Privacy Policy for individuals of all ages. If a minor
has provided us with personal information without parental or guardian consent,
the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information. Security Measures We employ
commercially reasonable security methods to prevent unauthorized access,
maintain data accuracy and ensure correct use of information. As a Registered
User, your Registration Information, Publishing Information and Payment
Information (if any) can be viewed and edited through your Account which is
protected by Password. We recommend that you do not divulge your Password to
anyone. Our personnel will never ask you for your Password in an unsolicited
phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. If you share a computer with others,
you should not choose to save your log-in information (e.g., User ID and
Password) on the computer. Remember to sign out of your Account and close your
browser window when you have finished your session. No data
transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be
perfectly secured. As a result, while we try to protect your information, no
web site or company, including ourselves, can absolutely ensure or guarantee
the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own
risk. Changes to Privacy Policy Any changes to
this Privacy Policy will be communicated through our posting an amended and
restated Privacy Policy on our Site. Our posting the amended and restated
Privacy Policy will make such new Privacy Policy immediately effective. You
agree that all Collected Information (whether or not collected prior to or
after the new policy became effective) will be governed by the newest Privacy
Policy then in effect. If you do not agree to the new changes in our Privacy
Policy, you should contact OTOPphlippines.org in writing (at the address set
out in the Notice provision of the Terms of Use Agreement) and specifically
request that OTOPphlippines.org return and/or destroy all copies of all or part
of your Collected Information in OTOPphlippines.org's possession. This Privacy
Policy was last amended on May 12, 2009. Correcting Your Information You can access,
view and edit your Registration Information, Publishing Information and Payment
Information (if any) through your Account with OTOPphlippines.org. Your feedback OTOPphlippines.org
welcomes your continuous input regarding our Privacy Policy or our services
provided to you. You may send us your comments and responses to
