Privacy policy

Last updated 12 November 2026

Gtides is built to collect as little as possible. This policy explains what happens when you use gtides.online, in line with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).

1. In short

  • No accounts, sign-ups, contact forms or payment details.
  • Google Analytics runs only if you accept it, and never for advertising.
  • Your eligibility-check answers never leave your device.
  • We do not sell personal information.

2. The eligibility check

Your answers, including health information, height and weight, are processed only inside your web browser to show your results. They are not sent to us or anyone else, are not stored, and disappear when you leave or reload the page. A PDF report is created on your own device when you choose to print or save it.

3. Technical data from hosting

Like any website, our hosting provider automatically processes basic technical information when pages are requested (such as IP address, browser type and time of visit) to deliver the site and keep it secure. We do not use this information to identify individual visitors.

4. Analytics (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics)

We use Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics, which helps us understand which pages are useful (for example, pages visited, approximate location at country or city level, device type and how people arrived). Google Analytics sets cookies and receives your IP address, which Google uses to estimate location.

Analytics only runs after you choose “Accept analytics” in our cookie banner. If you decline, or haven't chosen yet, analytics cookies are not set (Google Consent Mode). Advertising features are always off. You can change your choice at any time using “Cookie settings” in the footer.

Google processes this data under its own privacy policy, and data may be processed outside the Philippines. We never send your eligibility-check answers, health information, height or weight to Google or anyone else.

5. Cookies, storage and fonts

Apart from analytics cookies you have accepted, we only store your cookie choice in your browser so we don't ask again. We do not use advertising cookies. Fonts and images are served from our own website.

6. Our Telegram community

If you join our community, you do so through Telegram, which processes your information under its own privacy policy. Your Telegram name and messages are visible to other members. Please don't share personal health records or other sensitive information there.

8. Your rights

Under the Data Privacy Act you have rights to be informed, to access, to correct and to erase personal data, among others. You can withdraw analytics consent at any time with “Cookie settings”, and you can delete Google Analytics cookies in your browser settings. Because we don't collect names, emails or accounts, we usually cannot link analytics data to you. For any privacy question, contact us through our community, or the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

9. Changes to this policy

If we add features that collect information (for example a newsletter or, in the future, licensed services), we will update this policy before doing so. The date at the top shows the latest version.
