[Placeholder — final registered entity name, business address, and Data Protection Officer contact details to be confirmed.]

When you request an invitation we collect your full name, work email, company or organisation, role or title, industry, stated interest, and any optional context you provide. We may also automatically collect basic technical information such as device type, browser, and referring page.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information as defined under the DPA. Please do not submit such information through our forms.

We use the information you provide to evaluate fit for the room, to send your invitation and related event communications, and to coordinate with our co-host the Damosa Land team. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for unrelated marketing.

We process your personal information on the basis of your consent (given when you submit the invitation form) and our legitimate interests in curating a high-quality, invitation-only gathering, consistent with Section 12 of the DPA.

Your details are reviewed only by the Breaking Ground team and the Damosa Land team for the purpose of evaluating and extending invitations. We may share information with trusted service providers (for example, our hosting and email infrastructure) under appropriate confidentiality and data-protection terms.

We will disclose personal information when required by law, by lawful order of a Philippine court or regulator, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Breaking Ground, our partners, or the public.

We retain invitation-request information for as long as reasonably necessary to evaluate your request, host the event, and meet our legal and accounting obligations. After that period, information is securely deleted or anonymised. [Placeholder — exact retention period to be finalised.]

Under the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to be informed; to object; to access; to rectify; to erase or block; to damages; to data portability; and to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

We use reasonable organisational, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, alteration, disclosure, or access, consistent with the DPA and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.

The Site may use a minimal set of cookies and analytics necessary to operate and improve the experience. [Placeholder — full cookie and analytics disclosure to be finalised.]
