Privacy policy
1. Who is responsible
This website, thetimekeeper.pages.dev, is operated by The TimeKeeper Cabanatuan, a sole-proprietor watch dealer in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. For anything in this policy, reach the owner on Facebook Messenger or by phone at 0952 447 8142.
2. What the website itself collects
The website has no accounts, no sign-up, no checkout, no newsletter and no advertising or analytics trackers. It collects only the following.
- Anonymous visit counts. When a page opens, your browser sends one small signal to our own server that says "a visit" and whether it is the first visit from that browser today. The server adds one to a daily counter and to a running total. That is all it stores — whole numbers per day. No name, no email, no IP address and no device identifier is written down. The browser's user-agent string is read only to ignore search-engine bots and is not stored. Purpose: to know how many people looked at the collection. Legal basis: legitimate interest in running the site. Retention: the daily totals are kept as aggregate numbers.
- Three flags in your browser's storage. One remembers that the opening animation has played this session; one remembers "already counted today" so a second visit is not double-counted; one remembers whether you chose day or night mode. All three stay on your device, are not cookies, are never sent to us, and can be cleared in your browser settings at any time.
- Hosting logs. The site is served by Cloudflare, which keeps short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses and request times) to deliver pages securely and block abuse. We do not access those logs for marketing.
3. What we collect when you deal with us
A sale is agreed on Facebook Messenger, by phone, or in person — never through the website. In the course of a deal you may give us:
- your name and Messenger profile, or your phone number;
- the details you send to complete a purchase — a delivery name, address and contact number if a watch is shipped, and a payment reference (bank transfer or GCash) once you have paid;
- photos or questions you send about a watch.
Purpose: to complete the sale, arrange the meetup or courier, answer warranty or after-sale questions, and keep a record of the transaction. Legal basis: performance of a contract with you, and our legal obligation to keep records of sales. Retention: for as long as the sale, its warranty period and Philippine record-keeping requirements need, then deleted. We do not use these details for marketing and we do not add you to any list.
4. Who else sees your data
We never sell or rent personal information. It reaches only the people and services needed to run the site and complete your deal: our hosting provider, which may process data outside the Philippines; the messaging platform you choose to contact us on, which keeps your messages under its own privacy policy; the courier and payment service used for your purchase, which receive only what they need to deliver and to be paid; and the authorities, if the law requires it. The map in the Contact section is loaded from Google and may set Google's own cookies; nothing else on this site sets cookies.
5. Your rights
Under RA 10173 you have the right to be informed, to access the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to object to its processing, to have it erased or blocked, to receive a copy in a portable form, and to be indemnified for damages caused by unlawful processing. To exercise any of these, message us on Facebook or call 0952 447 8142; we will respond within a reasonable time and verify that the request comes from you. If you believe we have mishandled your data you may also complain to the National Privacy Commission.
6. Security
The site is served over HTTPS only. Inventory changes require an owner key that is never shown on the site. We keep the least data we can, for the shortest time we can, and deal details stay inside the platforms listed above rather than being copied around.
7. Children
The site and our deals are for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18; a parent or guardian who believes a minor has sent us personal data can ask us to delete it.
8. Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date at the top changes with it. Continued use of the site after a change means the updated policy applies.
