@rentdirectph, we don’t collect more than we need. We don’t sell your data and we don’t waste your time. This privacy policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it in simple terms.

If you’re using our platform to browse, inquire, or connect directly with property owners, this applies to you.

Who We Are

@rentdirectph is a property listing site focused on direct condo rentals in the Philippines. We list verified units from property owners only — no brokers, no agents, no markups. Every listing shows exact details: location, rental price, terms, and availability. No guesswork, no hidden costs.

Because our platform is open and transparent, we don’t ask you to create an account or sign up for anything just to browse.

What We Collect

We only collect personal information when you choose to reach out using the contact form on a listing. The information you provide includes:

  • Your full name
  • Your email address
  • Your phone number
  • Your message to the property owner

We do not ask for budget, preferred locations, or any details already visible on the listing.

Technical Data

We also collect basic technical data when you visit the site. This helps us improve how the site performs. This includes:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type such as mobile, tablet, or desktop
  • Pages viewed, time spent on the site, and clicks
  • Referral source like a search engine or social media platform

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies to make sure the site works properly. These help us:

  • Keep the site stable as you browse

  • Measure which listings get the most attention

  • Track general behavior across pages without identifying you personally

You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer. Some parts of the site may not work as expected without them.

How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information you provide only for the purpose you intended. That includes:

  • Sending your inquiry to the property owner
  • Responding if you contact us directly
  • Analyzing how users interact with the site to improve functionality

We do not use your data for marketing. We do not run ads based on your actions. We do not track your activity outside of this website.

Who We Share It With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We only share your data when:

  • You submit an inquiry and your message is sent to the property owner along with your name, email, and phone number
  • Our trusted service providers help us operate the site, such as website hosting or basic analytics
  • We are required to share it to meet legal obligations or protect users from fraud or abuse

These providers are only given access to what they need to do their work and are required to keep your data confidential.

Your Rights and Control

You always have control over the information you choose to share with us.

When you fill out the contact form, your message and contact details are sent to our Gmail inbox. If you later decide you want that information changed or removed, you can:

  • Ask us to delete the original inquiry
  • Ask us to update your contact details or message
  • Let us know you no longer want any communication about that inquiry

We do not offer account access or submission history because we do not store your data in any user database. If you want us to make changes to a past inquiry, use the contact form on our website and send us a request. We’ll process it within 7 business days.

How We Protect Your Data

We take your privacy seriously and use standard security measures to keep your data safe. This includes:

  • Encrypted browsing over HTTPS
  • Secure email and web hosting services
  • Internal limits on who can access your data
  • Regular checks to keep everything running smoothly

No system is perfectly secure, but we do our part to reduce risks and respond quickly if anything goes wrong.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep your inquiry information for up to 12 months unless you ask us to delete it earlier. This allows for follow-up conversations or dispute resolution if needed.

Website analytics data is stored in aggregate. It does not identify you personally and is used only to understand general traffic trends.

Use by Minors

@rentdirectph is not designed for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe someone under 18 has submitted personal information, let us know and we will remove it.

Use of Other Platforms

This privacy policy applies only to our website at https://rentdirectph.com. If you interact with us through other platforms such as social media, messaging apps, or third-party property websites, those platforms have their own privacy policies and data practices.

We are not responsible for how your data is collected, stored, or used outside of this website. Always check the privacy policy of any platform you use.

Third-Party Features on Our Site

Listings on our website include Google Maps to show property locations. Google may collect usage data when you interact with the map, such as your IP address or location, depending on your browser settings.

This data is handled by Google and is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy. We do not control how Google collects or uses that data.

If you prefer not to interact with Google Maps, you can choose not to click or zoom on the embedded map.

Governing Law

This privacy policy is interpreted in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Where required by law, we comply with the legal obligations of the country in which the service is provided or accessed.

Our website is hosted by a US-based provider, but we operate and handle inquiries in the Philippines. Any legal matters related to privacy will be addressed based on applicable laws in either location, depending on the nature of the issue.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time if the law changes or if we change how we handle data. If we do:

  • We will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page
  • We will clearly explain what changed
  • We will notify users if any changes significantly affect how we use your data

We remain committed to keeping your information private and your experience simple.
