This policy applies to the collection, use, and protection of personal data when you are browsing or using services provided by the Bureau Website. However, it does not apply to any external websites linked through the Bureau Website. When engaging with those external websites, their respective privacy policies shall govern your data rights and obligations.

We may collect your personal information through the following channels:

• Online Activities and Surveys: When you participate in online events or surveys conducted by the Bureau Website, you may be asked to provide personal information such as your name, national ID number, telephone number, email address, and mailing address. If you access third-party websites or activities (such as raffles, contests, or marketing promotions) through our website links, your voluntarily provided personal data is subject to those third parties’ privacy policies and not covered by ours. We bear no responsibility for such data handling.

• General Browsing: The Bureau Website automatically records certain technical data when you browse or perform searches, such as your IP address, access time, browser type, and browsing history. While we may mark browsers to analyze browsing behaviors on our site, we will not—and cannot—associate such data with your personal identity unless you voluntarily provide such information.

• Other Channels: If you voluntarily submit personal information such as email address or name in interactive areas (e.g., forums or comment sections), this information falls outside the scope of this privacy policy. Additionally, any communication made through letters or other channels to the Bureau will be retained along with handling records.
