Sandigan Colleges, Inc. is committed to protecting the privacy, confidentiality, and security of student, alumni, and personnel personal data.
1. Information We Collect
In accordance with educational and registrar functions, we collect and process:
- Student Identity Information: Full name, student identification number, birth date, gender, nationality, and contact details.
- Academic History: Previous school attended, enrollment type, graduation date, batch, program major, and curriculum subjects.
- Financial Information: Billing records, payment receipts, and fee balance status.
- System Telemetry: Log timestamps, IP address, and audit trails of administrative activities for cybersecurity protection.
2. Purpose of Processing
Personal data is processed strictly for legitimate educational, academic evaluation, transcript issuance, and alumni verification purposes.
3. Protection of Student Records & Storage
All electronic student records and uploaded credentials (such as PSA birth certificates and TORs) are encrypted and stored in protected directories inaccessible to public crawlers. Access is restricted by role-based authentication and security headers.
4. AI & Machine Agent Policy
We strictly disallow any third-party crawler or automated agent from ingesting, scraping, or utilizing student personal information for artificial intelligence training (ai-train=no). Public machine-readable interfaces (such as our sitemap and MCP server) only expose non-sensitive, aggregated institutional and program catalogs.
5. Data Subject Rights
Under RA 10173, students and alumni have the right to be informed, access their records, rectify inaccuracies, and object to unauthorized processing.
