Privacy.

When you submit a contact form or chat with Cabana Bear, we collect your name, email address, and phone number.

We also collect standard technical data automatically: your browser type, device, and the pages you visit. This is anonymous and used only to improve the site.

We do not collect payment information, government IDs, or sensitive personal data of any kind.

To respond to your inquiries about merchant booths, sponsorships, or collaborations.

To notify you about upcoming Cabana Club pop-up events if you've expressed interest.

To improve our website and understand what content our community finds most useful.

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Your data is stored securely on Cloudflare's infrastructure, one of the world's most trusted cloud platforms.

All data is transmitted over HTTPS (SSL encryption) at all times.

Access to stored inquiries is restricted to authorized Cabana Club staff only, protected by a secure admin key.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173), you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Privacy Request" and we will respond within 15 business days.

You may also request that we stop using your data at any time and we will honor that request promptly.

We store a single preference in your browser to remember your cookie-consent choice, so we don't ask again on every visit. This is kept only in your browser and is not sent to any server.

We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or behavioral profiling of any kind.

When you vote for Crowd Favorite Matcha, we collect the name and Instagram handle on your Cabana Passport (or the mobile number, if your passport was opened with one), the brand you pick, and a selfie of you with your matcha. We use these to check that each ballot comes from a real guest and to count the vote. Only Cabana Club staff see them. Your mobile number is never published, and your Instagram handle is never published unless you ask us to credit you.

Before you vote, you confirm that the selfie is your own, that you are 18 or older (or your parent or guardian agrees), and that everyone in the photo is okay with it being sent.

A second, separate box lets you allow Cabana Club to feature your selfie. It is optional, it is never ticked for you, and your vote counts the same either way. If you tick it, we may show your selfie on Cabana Club's social media pages, website and event materials to promote Cabana Club and its pop-ups. We may crop or resize it, but we will not edit it in a misleading way, attach your mobile number to it, tag your Instagram handle without asking you, or sell or license it to anyone. Featuring is unpaid.

You can take back that permission anytime. Email [email protected] with the subject line "Photo consent" and we will remove your selfie from the posts and pages we control within 15 business days. We cannot recall printed materials already handed out or reposts made by other people.

If you do not tick the second box, your selfie stays with the crew and is deleted once the vote is counted and closed. Selfies you allowed us to feature are kept while we use them or until you take the permission back. Our legal basis for all of this is your consent under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173).
