Last updated: July 13, 2026

House for Rent in General Santos City (operating as J & A Rental Properties and J & A Homestay) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit this website or contact us, how we use it, and what rights you have over it.

Who We Are

This website is operated by Jan Michael and Anna Lou Buyco, doing business as J & A Rental Properties and J & A Homestay, located at 317 NLSA Rd, First Barrio, Lagao, General Santos City 9500, South Cotabato, Philippines.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is handled, you can reach us directly:

📞 0922 821 4197 ✉️ mikebuyco@gmail.com

What Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it to us — for example, when you:

  • Fill out a contact or inquiry form on this website

  • Message us via Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, or SMS

  • Call or text us to ask about a property or schedule a viewing

  • Book a stay or rental through us directly

The information we collect may include:

  • Your name

  • Phone number

  • Email address

  • Any details you share with us about your rental or booking needs (e.g., preferred move-in date, number of occupants, questions about a property)

We do not collect payment or financial information through this website. Payments for bookings and rentals are arranged directly with us through separate channels (such as GCash, bank transfer, or cash), not processed on this site.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

  • Respond to your inquiries about our properties

  • Schedule and coordinate property viewings

  • Process and confirm bookings or rental agreements

  • Communicate with you about your stay or tenancy

  • Improve our services and respond to feedback

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services We Use

Like most small business websites, we use a limited number of third-party tools to run this site and communicate with visitors:

  • Messaging platforms — Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and SMS, which have their own separate privacy policies governing how they handle your messages

  • Google services — such as Google Search Console and Google Maps, which may collect standard technical data (like general location or browser information) according to Google's own privacy policy

  • Our website hosting and caching provider — which processes standard technical data (such as IP addresses) to serve and secure the website

If you book a stay with us through Airbnb, Booking.com, or Agoda instead of contacting us directly, please note that those platforms have their own separate privacy policies governing the information you provide to them.

Cookies

This website may use basic cookies for standard technical purposes, such as remembering your session or improving site performance. These cookies do not track you across other websites and are not used for advertising purposes. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not work as intended if you do.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain your contact information and inquiry details for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you, manage your booking or tenancy, and maintain accurate business records. If you'd like us to delete your information sooner, you can request this directly (see "Your Rights" below).

How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable steps to keep your personal information secure, including limiting who has access to it. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Under the Philippines' Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we hold about you

  • Request a copy of the information we have collected from you

  • Request correction of any inaccurate information

  • Request that we delete your personal information, subject to any legal or legitimate business reasons we may need to retain it

  • Object to how your information is being used

  • File a complaint with the National Privacy Commission if you believe your data privacy rights have been violated

To exercise any of these rights, contact us directly at mikebuyco@gmail.com or 0922 821 4197.

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
