Privacy Notice
How Blinds Side Interior collects, uses, and protects the information you share with us.
Last updated: September 26, 2026
What we collect
Blinds Side Interior collects the contact, address, project, appointment, and optional window-photo information you provide to answer inquiries, prepare quotations, schedule services, deliver work, maintain records, and meet legal obligations.
How we use and share information
Access is limited to authorized staff and service providers needed to operate the website, communications, payments, and delivery. We do not sell personal information. We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes, legal requirements, and dispute resolution.
Your choices and rights
You may request access, correction, deletion where applicable, or information about how your data is handled by contacting our business contact. You may also raise a concern with the Philippine National Privacy Commission.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Data Privacy Act and your choices
Blinds Side Interior processes your contact details, account information, inquiries, orders, and payments to provide the services you request. This notice explains that processing under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). Optional AI photo processing requires your consent before submission; you can use our other services without using the visualizer.
You may request access, correction, deletion, or withdrawal of consent by contacting theblindsidehomedecor@gmail.com. Withdrawal applies to future consent-based processing; records may still be needed for contractual or legal obligations. You may also raise a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.
Room photos and OpenAI
With your consent, the live AI visualizer sends your room photo and selected product reference to OpenAI to generate a preview. Processing may take place outside the Philippines. Upload only photos you are authorized to share and remove faces, documents, and other personal details first. Demonstration mode does not send photos to OpenAI.
Access to each uploaded room photo and generated preview expires one hour after that item is created. Expired files are deleted on the next successful cleanup run, so access expiry is not an assurance of immediate file deletion. This local retention period does not control copies processed by OpenAI, which are subject to its applicable service terms and data controls.
Other records and retention
Account, inquiry, appointment, order, and payment records do not currently have automatic expiry. We retain these records to manage your account, fulfill services, resolve disputes, and meet applicable recordkeeping obligations. You can request a retention review or deletion through the contact above; we will explain any records that must be retained. The one-hour AI retention period does not apply to service photos, payment proofs, or backups.
Payments and authentic payment notifications
Card details are entered on PayMongo's hosted checkout and handled by PayMongo. Our server does not receive or store your full card number or security code (CVV) through this checkout. We send billing and invoice details to PayMongo and retain payment references, amounts, fees, and status to reconcile your order. Please never send card details through chat or uploaded payment proofs.
Before accepting a payment notification (webhook), our server verifies PayMongo's signature using a secret shared with PayMongo. It checks that the message has not been changed and that its timestamp is within five minutes of our server's time. Missing or invalid signatures are rejected. A payment must match a known checkout, and repeat notifications do not create another payment for the same checkout. A browser redirect alone is not proof of payment.
