KapitbahayMo
PRIVACY, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

Your information
stays yours.

This notice describes the current KapitbahayMo prototype. The service operator’s registered name and address should be added before public launch.

What we store

Your display name, selected city or municipality, account timestamps, and profile preferences are stored in SQLite so your profile can work between visits. A signed, httpOnly session cookie keeps you signed in for up to 30 days.

When you join the nearby queue, a temporary queue entry and presence status are stored in Redis. We currently use your selected locality for matching. This version does not request or store GPS coordinates.

Chats and expiry

Messages are stored temporarily in Redis only while a chat is active. Chats have no time limit, but when either participant leaves, blocks, or disconnects for about a minute, the conversation and all of its messages are deleted. If both participants disconnect at once, everything is removed automatically within two minutes. Leaving a chat removes its active conversation and message records immediately.

Safety reports and blocks

Block records and reports are stored in SQLite so safety actions can be applied. Deleting your account removes your profile, your block records, and reports involving your account. The current prototype has no moderation dashboard.

Your controls

From Settings you can update your display name or locality, pause discovery, enable browser notifications for incoming messages when the page is hidden, or delete your account. Notifications require browser permission and support.

For privacy questions or data requests, the service operator’s contact details must be added before public launch.

Data rights

People have rights over their personal data under applicable privacy law. The Philippine National Privacy Commission explains rights including access and erasure or blocking. Read the NPC overview.

This page is a product privacy notice, not a legal compliance assessment. Before production, the operator must identify the responsible legal entity, confirm lawful purposes and retention periods, and publish working privacy contact details.
