Third-Party Services

JK&C may use third-party hosting, communications, technology, analytics, cloud, productivity, and other service providers.

Some third-party providers may independently process information according to their own privacy practices and terms.

JK&C is not responsible for the independent privacy practices, content, availability, or security of third-party websites or services outside its control.

Some service providers or technology platforms used by JK&C may process or store information outside the Philippines.

Where applicable, JK&C takes reasonable steps appropriate to the nature of the processing and applicable data protection requirements.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security, performance, analytics, preferences, and related purposes.

Please refer to our separate Cookie Policy for additional information.

Security

JK&C takes reasonable organizational, physical, and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, destruction, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic communication, transmission method, storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should exercise appropriate care when deciding what information to transmit electronically.

Retention

Personal information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for legitimate business, operational, contractual, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, dispute-resolution, or compliance purposes.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the circumstances involved.

When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, destroyed, anonymized, archived, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable requirements.

JK&C may request additional information where reasonably necessary to understand, authenticate, verify, or properly address a request.

Submitting a message, inquiry, document, or other information through our website does not, by itself, create a client, advisory, legal, fiduciary, professional, or contractual relationship with JK&C.

Submission of a privacy request also does not constitute acceptance by JK&C of any allegation, liability, obligation, or requested remedy. Requests will be reviewed according to their circumstances and applicable requirements.

It is not intended to create contractual rights or obligations beyond those arising under applicable law or an existing written agreement.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any right or obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded or waived.

Additional notices, consent statements, contractual provisions, or privacy terms may apply to particular services, engagements, forms, systems, employees, applicants, clients, or other processing activities.
