Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 20, 2026

Last Updated: June 20, 2026

Welcome to BarNotcher (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We operate barnotcher.com (the “Website” or “Platform”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you purchase and download our digital PDF training materials.

In compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), we are committed to ensuring that your personal data is protected and securely processed.

1. Information We Collect

Because our platform functions as a direct digital download service, we minimize data collection to only what is strictly necessary to deliver your files.

A. Information You Provide to Us

  • Account/Delivery Details: Your name and email address (required to create your account, verify your purchase, and send you the download links for the PDF files).
  • Payment Verification: To verify manual GCash transactions, we may ask you to provide proof of payment, such as a GCash reference number or a screenshot of the successful transaction receipt.

Important Note on Payment Data: BarNotcher does not collect, store, or process your GCash MPIN, account password, or phone number. All payments are done independently and securely by you directly within the official GCash mobile application.

B. Automatically Collected Information

  • Log Data: Standard web server logs, including your IP address, browser type, and the date/time you accessed the site to download your files. This is used solely for security and to prevent unauthorized link sharing.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information strictly for the following purposes:

  • Order Fulfillment: To verify your manual GCash payment and grant your account access to download the purchased PDF files.
  • Customer Support: To assist you if you encounter issues downloading your files or if you lose access to your account.
  • Security & Prevention of Abuse: To ensure that download links are not being shared publicly or abused in violation of our terms.

3. Data Retention and Protection

  • Data Minimization: We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information or payment screenshots with any third-party advertisers or external companies.
  • Retention: We retain your account details (name and email) so you can log back in and redownload your purchased files. Transaction screenshots used for manual verification are securely deleted once the payment is confirmed and the files are released.
  • Security: We use standard encryption (HTTPS) to secure data transmission between your browser and our website, ensuring your email and transaction details remain private.

4. Your Rights under the Philippine Data Privacy Act

As a user, you retain all rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, including:

  • The right to look at what information we hold about you.
  • The right to dispute and correct any inaccuracies in your data.
  • The right to request the complete erasure of your account and personal data from our systems (which will terminate your access to redownload files).
