What the guide collects
Nothing that identifies you. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to fill in, the guide sets no cookies, and it runs no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts, its own or anyone else’s.
What is kept on your device
One setting, and only if you use the sound switch on the homepage:
- What
- Whether you turned the flight’s sound on or off
- Where
- Your own browser’s local storage, under the name
palawan-sound - Why
- So the flight remembers your choice next time
- For how long
- Until you clear this site’s data in your browser
It never leaves your browser, and the guide cannot read it from anywhere else.
What your browser asks for
Every page, photograph, typeface, the film and the terrain the flight is drawn from are served by this site itself. As you browse, your browser does not contact any other company’s servers. The sound and music are made in your browser as they play; nothing is recorded.
Links to other sites
The guide links to the official pages of Palawan’s local governments, to Wikimedia Commons and Unsplash for each photograph, to its sources, and to Google Maps for a town, a place or a route between two towns. Those sites are only contacted if you follow a link, and from then on their own privacy policies apply. Phone numbers open your own phone’s dialler; the guide sees nothing of the call.
The host’s logs
Like any website, the service that hosts the guide may keep short technical logs of requests, such as an IP address, the browser and the time, to keep the site running and secure, under that service’s own terms. The guide does not use them to identify or follow anyone.
Your rights
Under the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) you may ask what personal information is held about you, and have it corrected or erased. This guide holds none. The one setting above is on your own device, and you can remove it at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser.
