Who we are
Welcome to Worth It PH! Our mission is to provide “worth it” advice for Filipino professionals on home, travel, and daily lifestyle. Our website address is: https://worthitph.com/.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Visitor comments are also checked through an automated spam detection service (Antispam Bee) to prevent abuse. Spam comments are automatically deleted after 14 days.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
This site uses cookies to improve your experience and to help us achieve our business goals. A cookie is a small file placed on your device.
Advertising Cookies: In the future, we plan to use third-party advertising networks (like Mediavine or Raptive) to display ads. These networks use cookies to show you ads that are relevant to your interests, both on this site and across the internet.
Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Login & Editor Cookies: (The generic text here is fine, but it’s not relevant to your 20/80 plan, as you are the only user and don’t have public registration.)
Analytics Cookies: We use third-party cookies from Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us see which articles are most helpful and how people find our “answer machine.” This data is aggregated and anonymized, and we do not collect personally identifiable information.
Affiliate Cookies: Our site is monetized using affiliate links from programs like Shopee, Lazada, and Amazon. When you click on one of these links, a cookie is placed in your browser to track that you came from Worth It PH. If you make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is a core part of our business model.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, Pinterest pins, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. However, as part of our site’s operation (our “answer machine”), we share data with the following third-party services:
Gravatar: An anonymized hash of your email is sent to see if you have a public profile picture.
Google Analytics: We share anonymized traffic data with Google to help us understand our audience.
Spam Detection (Antispam Bee): Comment data is shared with our anti-spam service to prevent abuse.
Affiliate Networks: If you click an affiliate link, that network (e.g., Shopee, Lazada) receives data to track the referral.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.
This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Your data may be processed by third-party services located outside of your home country. This includes:
Affiliate link data (which is processed by international affiliate networks).
Visitor comments (which are checked for spam).
Google Analytics data (which is processed by Google, with servers likely in the US).
