Privacy Policy

InfraWatch is a civic reporting tool created by 1Sambayan to promote transparency and accountability in public infrastructure projects. We value your trust and are committed to protecting your privacy when you use this platform.

1. Information We Collect

InfraWatch only collects the minimum information necessary to verify and display reports submitted by users. These include:

  • Date of observation – When the report was made or when construction was observed.
  • Place of construction – The barangay or location where the project is situated.
  • Contractor’s name (optional) – Provided only if known by the uploader.
  • Uploader’s name (optional) – For users who choose to identify themselves.
  • Photo evidence – Images showing project progress or site conditions.

We do not collect or store sensitive personal information unless explicitly provided by the user. Basic technical data (such as IP address or browser type) may be logged temporarily for system security and troubleshooting purposes only.

2. How We Use Your Information

Submitted data is used solely for:

  • Verifying the authenticity and accuracy of reported projects.
  • Publishing aggregated and anonymized project information for public awareness.
  • Improving InfraWatch’s performance and reliability.

InfraWatch does not sell, rent, or share personal data with any third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.

3. Data Ownership and Public Access

By submitting a report, users grant InfraWatch and 1Sambayan permission to use the content (photos and descriptions) for transparency, research, and advocacy purposes. Identifying information, if provided, will be displayed or withheld according to user preference and platform guidelines.

4. Data Security

All submissions are transmitted over secure connections (HTTPS) and stored in a protected database. Access is limited to authorized administrators for validation and maintenance. While reasonable security measures are in place, no online platform can guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access.
