WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

Introduction

Oroquieta City, through its Office of the City Mayor Management Information System Division (OCM-MIS), maintains www.oroquietacity.gov.ph, which aims to provide information about the City Government, its mandates, programs, and services.

As a local government of the Republic of the Philippines, the website adheres to the Government Website Template Design (GWTD) Guidelines prescribed by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), which highlights, among others, compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Section 2.3.5) and recognizing the importance of improving user experience (Section 3).

Data Collection and Use

The website itself does not collect personal data that would identify a specific individual. However, as a means to gather feedback and improve services, the website incorporates three online surveys housed with Google Forms:

  1. Oroquieta City Website Feedback form
  2. Oroquieta City e-Library form
  3. Oroquieta City Survey form

The type of data that are obtained include:

  1. Sex
  2. Age (within a given range)
  3. Occupation/field of specialization/sector

The non-personal data being collected using Google Forms is governed by the external website’s own privacy policy.

This may include the computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, pages visited, date and time of visit, and time spent on these pages, among others. These are reported through aggregated data that in no way will identify an individual.

The website itself does not maintain cookies and neither does it access third-party cookies from Google Analytics, which has its own strict privacy guidelines.
