KAKACOMPUTER PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: April 20, 2026

STATEMENT OF POLICY AND COMMITMENT

KakaComputer (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and integrity of the personal data of our guests and any individuals who interact with us. We ensure that all personal data is processed in adherence to the principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality under Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (“DPA”).

This Privacy Policy applies only to information gathered online through the KakaComputer website at https://kakacomputer.com/ (“Website”), Podcast and our official communication channels (“KKC”). This Privacy Policy applies where we are acting as a data controller with respect to the Personal Data of visitors, users, and guests (“you,” or “your”); in other words, where we determine the purposes and means of the processing of that Personal Data.

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY because it affects your rights under the law. By using KKC, you confirm that you have read and agreed to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you cannot use, access, create or publish through KKC. This Privacy Policy may change as we continuously improve the website, so please check it periodically.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Data Subject: Any individual whose Personal Data is processed by KKC.
Personal Data: Personal information as defined under the DPA.
Processing: Any operation performed upon Personal Data including collection, recording, storage, retrieval, use, consolidation, erasure, or destruction.
Recordings: Images, audio and/or video files, raw footage, edited clips, and metadata created for the Podcast.

TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED

We strictly limit data collection to Personal Data necessary for the production of the Podcasts:

General Identification:
- Name that you provide to use and publish in the Podcasts;
- Affiliations that you provide and choose to share in the Podcasts;
- Age (strictly for verifying legal capacity to provide consent).
Contact Information:
- Legal Name: For the purpose of executing the documents and contracts with us, such as waivers.
- Full name, personal email and mobile number for coordination to produce the Podcast; not for publication).
Audio-Visual Data: Voice, image, and likeness captured during the recording session.

Strict Data Minimization Policy. We do not seek, collect, or process sensitive personal information or privileged information as defined under the DPA, except for the basic identifiers required for legal consent and production of the Recordings. If you have accidentally provided us sensitive, privileged or any other information to us, please contact us, and we will immediately delete that information.

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

As a general matter, you can use KKC without submitting your Personal Data to us. However, there are a number of circumstances in which you may supply us with your Personal Data:

Intake/Inquiry: When you provide information to us, such as if you want to be considered as a Guest on the Podcast.
Consent Phase: Data provided via the consent forms and other documents that you sign with us.
Active Recording: Real-time capture of your name, image, voice, and likeness during the recording.
Post-Production: Data generated during the editing process (e.g., transcripts, captions and subtitles).

PERSONAL DATA FROM OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY SITES

When you interact with us through a third-party platform, such as Facebook, X (Twitter), Spotify, or YouTube, we may collect the Personal Data that you make available to us on that page including your account ID or handle. We will comply with the privacy policies of the corresponding third-party platform and we will only collect and store such Personal Data that we are permitted to collect by these social media platforms.

USE OF PERSONAL DATA

Specifically, we use your Personal Data for the following: recording the Podcast, providing the Podcast to you; processing your feedback; responding to your queries and requests; investigating complaints; or as otherwise required or authorised by law or government agency.

LAWFUL BASIS AND PURPOSES FOR PROCESSING

Our legal bases for processing your Personal Data are:

Consent: Explicit consent that you have granted.
Legitimate Interest: The production of educational tech-focused content.
Contractual Necessity: To fulfill the terms of the Consent, Release and Waiver.

RETAINING AND DELETING PERSONAL DATA

We do not keep Personal Data that we process for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.

Data Type	Retention Period	Reason
Published Recordings/Episode	Indefinite	Creative/Historical Work
Signed Waivers	5 Years post-publication	Legal Compliance/Defense
Contact Info	2 Years post-publication	Follow-up/Coordination
Unsolicited Tips	24 Hours	Disposal Protocol

Because the Podcast is a creative and historical work, the Recordings themselves are retained indefinitely. This is necessary for archival integrity and to allow future listeners to access the educational content.

CONSENT FOR MEDIA RECORDINGS AND PUBLIC POSTING

Media License. I grant the Podcast a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and sublicensable license to record my name, image, voice, and likeness (each a “Recording”) and to use, edit, reproduce, publish, republish, distribute, display, and otherwise make the Recording publicly available (in full episodes and clips/highlights) in any media and on any platform (including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and the KaKaComputer website) for any lawful purpose related to the Podcast (including promotion and press releases), without need of my further approval.

Irrevocability of Media License: I understand that while I may withdraw consent for future data processing under the Data Privacy Act, the Media License to the Recording itself is irrevocable. I understand that once any Recording is publicized, the Podcast shall no longer have any control over the same, and it would be technically impossible for the Podcast to retroactively erase, block, suspend, withdraw, destroy or recall all copies of already-distributed Recording.

DATA SECURITY

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the Personal Data in our possession. This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection and other access and authentication controls.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the website, and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If you believe your Personal Data has been compromised, please contact us.

If we learn of a security system breach, then we will notify you in accordance with the DPA.

LINKS TO OR FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE

The Website may contain links to other sites operated by our affiliates or third parties. Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy do not apply to information gathered through these other sites. We are not responsible for the actions and privacy policies of third parties and other sites.

PUBLIC AREAS

Please remember that any information you share in public areas, such as message boards or feedback sections, becomes public and anyone may take and use that information. Please be careful about what you disclose and do not post any Personal Data that you expect to keep private.

YOUR RIGHTS AS DATA SUBJECT

Under the DPA, you have the following rights with regard to your Personal Data:

Right to be informed: Knowing if your Personal Data is being processed.
Right to access: Requesting to see your Personal Data that we process.
Right to object: Objecting to processing of your Personal Data.
Right to erasure/blocking: Requesting removal of your Personal Data.
Right to damages: Claiming compensation for illegal, unauthorized, or inaccurate use of your Personal Data.
Right to rectification: Correcting inaccurate Personal Data that we store.

NO PERSONAL DATA FROM CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children. KKC is not directed to children. We will not knowingly allow children to register with or become users of the Podcast. If you are a minor, a ward, or otherwise do not have legal capacity to contract or give consent, you should not provide Personal Data to us.

If we discover that a child has provided us with Personal Data and we do not have parental/legal guardian consent, we will immediately delete that child’s information.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR MINORS AND CHILDREN

Should a minor or child guest desire to appear on the Podcast, all rights belonging to the minor or child guest under the DPA are exercised by his/her parent or legal guardian. No minor may participate, and no data from a minor will be stored, without the verified written consent of the parent or legal guardian, which is executed and signed separately.

CHANGES AND UPDATES

Please revisit this page periodically to stay aware of any changes to this Privacy Policy, which we may update from time to time. If we modify the Privacy Policy, we will make it available through the website, and indicate the date of the latest revision. Any material changes will be posted on this website and will come into effect upon posting.

In the event that the modifications materially alter your rights or obligations hereunder, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the change. For example, we may send a message to your email address, if we have one on file, or generate a pop-up or similar notification when you access the Website for the first time after such material changes are made. If you do not refuse the changes in writing before they become effective, this shall mean that you have consented to the Privacy Policy as changed. Your continued use of KKC after the revised Privacy Policy has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the current version of the Privacy Policy.

ASSIGNMENT

We may change our ownership or corporate organization while providing KKC. We may also sell certain assets associated with KKC. As a result, please be aware that in such an event, we may transfer some or all of your information to a company acquiring all or part of our assets or to another company with which we have merged. Under such circumstances we would, to the extent possible, require the acquiring party to follow the practices described in this Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time to time.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW

This Policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Any disputes regarding the processing of personal data shall first be addressed through a formal written request to us. If no resolution is met, the Data Subject may escalate the matter to the National Privacy Commission.
