1.1. Data Processing for Primary Services

1.1.1. Personal data processed by My Little Philippines
Phil 4 You is the smart and safe choice for your Balikbayan boxes. Since 2001, we have been the reliable Balikbayan partner that safely sends gifts and goods back to the Philippines.

When you use our services, you provide personal data necessary for us to receive your payment, deliver your order to your address, and offer customer service. For example, you receive a payment confirmation by email, and we may call you if a delivery is delayed or if there is an issue with a product.

The personal data we collect for these primary services are:
• First and last name (yours and the recipient’s in the Philippines)
• Address details (yours and the recipient’s in the Philippines)
• Payment details
• Email address
• Telephone number (yours and the recipient’s in the Philippines)
• Any other personal data you actively provide in correspondence

We do not intend to collect data about website visitors under the age of 16 without permission from their parents or guardians. If you believe we have collected such data without consent, please contact us so that we can delete it.

1.1.2. Data retention period
The personal data you provide is stored on secure servers for at least seven years, as required by law for business recordkeeping and audit purposes. After seven years, your data will remain archived on secure servers for the same purpose. However, you have the right to request that your data be deleted.

1.1.3. Third parties with whom My Little Philippines shares personal data
Delivery service MyParcel
We commission MyParcel to deliver your order. We share your personal data with them and have a data processing agreement to define each party’s responsibilities in protecting your data.

Web hosting Transip
We use Transip for our website hosting.

Payment service Buckaroo
Online payments are processed by Buckaroo. We do not sign a data processing agreement with Buckaroo because they are legally responsible for protecting the personal data you enter during payment. Their own general terms and conditions apply to you.

Government authorities
If required by law, we may share your personal data with government bodies. For example, a tax inspector may request data under Article 47 of the General Tax Act.

1.2. Data Processing for Account Registration

1.2.1. Personal data processed
When you create an account, you voluntarily provide personal data. With an account, you can track your purchase history and speed up future orders by pre-filling your shipping and billing information.

We may collect the following data:
• Username
• Password
• First and last name
• Address details
• Email address
• Telephone number

1.2.2. Data retention period
You can view and edit your account information at any time, or request that we delete your account.

1.3. Data Processing for Web Statistics

1.3.1. Type of personal data processed
We use Google Analytics to collect web statistics about our visitors. This helps us understand how visitors use the website and how we can improve it. We collect only anonymous data, which means you remain unidentifiable.

Anonymous data we collect:
• Anonymous IP address
• Anonymous browser ID

Google Analytics is configured in a privacy-friendly way, according to the requirements of the Dutch Data Protection Authority. We have a data processing agreement with Google, and IP addresses are anonymized to prevent identifying your exact location.

1.3.2. Data retention period
Google Analytics assigns an anonymous ID to your browser to recognize you as the same visitor during multiple visits. This ID is automatically deleted after 14 months.

1.4. Data Processing for Advertising

1.4.1. Advertising via Facebook and Google
We advertise on Facebook, Google, and other websites that sell ad space to Google. You may therefore see our ads while browsing these platforms. By accepting their terms when creating your account, you have already consented to such advertising practices.

1.4.2. Ad preferences on Facebook and Google
If you have a Facebook or Google account, you can manage your ad preferences in your account settings. There, you can view and adjust which demographic and interest-based information is shared with advertisers. We target audiences that match our customer profile — if your preferences align, you may see our ads.

1.4.3. Processing only with explicit consent
We do not need your explicit consent for advertising itself. However, if we wish to combine your ad preferences with website analytics data (for example, to show you ads after visiting our website), we will ask for your explicit consent through our cookie banner.

1.4.4. Personal data processed
We cannot identify individual persons through advertising; all data is anonymous.

Anonymous data collected includes:
• Anonymous browser ID
• Anonymous demographic data and interests from your Google account
• Anonymous demographic data and interests from your Facebook account

1.4.5. Data retention period
After 14 months, the anonymous browser ID is deleted, meaning collected data can no longer be linked to a browser.

1.5. Data Security

1.5.1. How My Little Philippines secures personal data
We are fully aware of the responsibility that comes with handling your data. We have taken several measures to prevent misuse, loss, or unauthorized access.

Security measures include:
• Up-to-date antivirus software and firewalls on all servers and devices
• Encrypted SSL connections (“https” and padlock icon in your browser)
• Password-protected access to personal data
• Secure Wi-Fi network access with a strong password
• Email server security via STARTTLS
• Use of DKIM and SPF standards to prevent phishing and spam
• Data processing agreements with our partners

If you suspect your data is not properly secured or believe it has been misused, please contact us immediately.

1.6. Viewing, Correcting, Transferring, or Deleting Your Data

1.6.1. Your rights
You have the right to view, correct, or delete your personal data. You can also request that your data be transferred to you or another organization. You may withdraw consent for specific data processing at any time via our cookie settings.

You also have the right to file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

1.6.2. How to make a request
Please send your request for access, correction, deletion, or data transfer—or any objection to data processing—to René Zuidwijk via rene@toko4all.nl.

To verify your identity, please attach a copy of your ID. Black out your photo, MRZ (the machine-readable zone), passport number, and citizen service number (BSN) for your privacy.

We will respond as soon as possible, and no later than four weeks after receiving your request.
