Privacy policy
Listo Papeles is operated from the European Union and serves users in the Philippines and abroad. We follow the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012.
No accounts, no personal data required
You can use every page without registering. We never ask for passwords, member numbers or other credentials for government portals.
Calculators run in your browser
Figures you type into a calculator stay on your device. They are not sent to our servers and are not stored unless you explicitly choose to save them.
Analytics and ads
We use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited in Europe, Google LLC elsewhere) to see which pages are useful. It sets cookies (_ga, _ga_<ID>) with a random identifier and records the pages you open, the site that sent you, your device and browser type, and your approximate location (country and city) derived from your IP address; Google Analytics does not store the IP address itself. When ads are shown, Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and similar identifiers to show and measure ads and, where allowed, to personalise them. Nothing you type into a calculator is ever sent.
Different rules in Europe and elsewhere
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics and ads stay off until you allow them in the cookie banner. Everywhere else, including the Philippines, they are on by default and a short notice at the bottom of the page tells you so. You can turn either of them off at any time with "Cookie preferences" at the bottom of every page; "Reject all" turns both off. A choice you save always overrides the regional default. To know which rules apply, our server looks up the country of your IP address in a database kept on our own server (IP geolocation by DB-IP, licensed under CC BY 4.0) and keeps only the result, "eu" or "other", in the cookie lp_region. Your IP address is not put in the cookie and is not sent to anyone for this. If the cookie is missing, your browser's time zone is used instead.
Legal basis
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland we use analytics and ad cookies only with your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) and the cookie rules of the ePrivacy Directive and the UK PECR). You can withdraw it at any time with "Cookie preferences". Elsewhere we rely on our legitimate interest in measuring how a free site is used and funding it with ads (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f); Data Privacy Act of 2012, Sec. 12(f)). You have the right to object at any time: "Cookie preferences" → "Reject all" stops both from the next page on.
Cookies and storage we use
lp_consent: your cookie choice, kept for 6 months (also saved in your browser's local storage). lp_region: "eu" or "other", kept for 24 hours. lp_notice_dismissed (browser local storage only): that the cookie notice has already been shown, until you clear your browser data. Google's own cookies and how long they last are described at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
How long data is kept
Google Analytics data is deleted automatically after 14 months. Our own cookies expire as listed above. Our server keeps access logs, which include IP addresses, for 14 days for security, then deletes them.
Notifications are opt-in
If you subscribe to notifications, we store only the subscription endpoint and the topics you chose. You can unsubscribe with one click.
