1. Who we are

Fluffyn 168 Cleaning Inc. under the name of “Fluffyn” is a premium cleaning service operating in Metro Manila, Philippines. We are the Personal Information Controller as defined under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2016 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.

Business name: Fluffyn 168 Cleaning Inc. under the name of “Fluffyn”

Registered address: UB 111 Paseo de Roxas Building, Legazpi Village, Barangay San Lorenzo, Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines

Contact email: compliance@fluffyn.ph

2. What personal information we collect

We follow a two-stage data minimization approach — we collect only what is needed at each step, in the right channel for the sensitivity of the data.

Stage 1: Website booking form (lead capture)

CategoryInformation collected
IdentityFirst name, last name
ContactMobile number, email address
Service areaCity / district only (e.g. Makati, BGC, Ortigas) — not exact address
Service preferencesUnit size, service type, preferred date and time, add-on selections, notes

Stage 2: WhatsApp / Viber (booking confirmation)

Once we receive your booking request, we contact you via WhatsApp or Viber (end-to-end encrypted) to confirm your slot and collect the operational details needed to deliver the service:

CategoryInformation collected
AddressBuilding / condo name, street address, unit number
AccessParking arrangements, doorman instructions, key handover
Service detailsPets on site, mattress type, specific focus areas, any special requirements

We deliberately keep sensitive details (your exact home address) out of email and form systems. WhatsApp and Viber use end-to-end encryption, meaning these details are only visible on your device and ours.

Other data we may collect

CategoryInformation collectedHow collected
Expansion interestName, contact, city — if you register for expansion notificationExpansion notification form

We do not collect payment card numbers, government ID numbers, or sensitive personal information as defined under RA 10173. Payments are processed peer-to-peer via GCash, Maya, or bank transfer — we never receive or store your payment credentials.

3. Why we collect it (lawful basis)

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), we process your personal information on the following lawful bases:

Separate consent for marketing audiences (Section 12[a]): Only if you opt in separately, we may share a hashed version of your email address and mobile number with Meta so that it can find new people who resemble our clients. This is a distinct consent from the one above, is never required in order to book, and can be withdrawn at any time.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us (see Section 11). Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.

4. How your information is used

We use your personal information strictly for the following purposes:

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We do not share your information with other businesses without your explicit consent.

We do not show you advertising based on your personal data. If you are already our client, we contact you directly on the channel you already use with us — we do not pay a platform to reach you.

Finding new clients. If, and only if, you have separately opted in, we may share an irreversibly scrambled (hashed) version of your email address and mobile number with Meta Platforms. Meta uses this solely to identify people whose characteristics resemble our clients, so that our advertising reaches people more likely to want this kind of service. Hashing converts your details into a fixed string that cannot be reversed back into your email or number. We never provide Meta with your name, address, access instructions, service history, booking details, or payment information for this purpose. This consent is optional, is never a condition of booking, and you may withdraw it at any time by emailing us (see Section 11); on withdrawal we remove you from any such audience.

If you message us on Facebook or Instagram. A conversation held on Messenger or Instagram takes place on Meta’s own platform and is processed by Meta under its privacy policy. We cannot control or limit what Meta collects from a conversation on its own service. Anything you send us there — including an address, access instructions, or photographs of your home — is held by Meta as well as by us. Some clients prefer to complete their booking there, and we accept that — which means the address and access details for that booking are held by Meta too. Where you are willing, we will offer to move those details to WhatsApp, which is end-to-end encrypted, but we will not insist. Payment is never made through any messaging platform.

Measuring our advertising. Where you first reached us through one of our advertisements, we record in Meta’s advertising tools whether that conversation went on to become a booking. This tells us which advertisements bring genuine clients rather than only messages, so that we spend sensibly. We rely on our legitimate interest in understanding the effectiveness of our own advertising (Section 12[f], RA 10173). It does not involve giving Meta your booking details, address, or payment information, and you may object at any time by emailing us (see Section 11).

5. How your information is stored and protected

We apply data minimization by design — collecting only the information needed at each stage, in the channel most appropriate for its sensitivity. This approach significantly reduces the risk and impact of any potential data exposure.

Technical safeguards

While we take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify affected individuals and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) as required under RA 10173 and NPC Circular 16-03.

6. Third-party processors

We use the following third-party services to operate our website and booking system. These are our Personal Information Processors under RA 10173. They process data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements.

The transfer of personal data to processors outside the Philippines is conducted under reasonable assurances that recipient organizations implement adequate data protection measures, as permitted under Section 21 of RA 10173.
