Horizon Sun Charters Corporation (“Horizon Sun Charters”, “we”, “us”) operates private seaplane charters in the Philippines and the website seaplanes.ph. We handle personal information in line with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).

- Messages you send us through our website forms, email, Facebook Messenger, Instagram Direct or WhatsApp. When you message our Facebook Page or Instagram account, we receive your message, your public name or username, and an ID that Meta assigns to the conversation.
- Booking and payment information: accepted charter terms, chosen payment method, payment references and receipts you upload.
- Passenger information needed for the flight manifest, safety and regulatory compliance (for example passenger names and weights).
- Website usage: whether our offer pages and welcome video were opened, to understand interest in our offers.
We do not store credit card numbers. Card payments are processed securely by our payment provider.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

- Government or aviation authorities when required by law.
4How long we keep it
We keep inquiry and booking records for as long as needed to provide our services and to meet accounting, aviation and legal obligations. Inquiries that do not become bookings are kept for up to two years and then deleted.
