01
This site is published by Umayon Studio, a digital studio registered in the Republic of the Philippines.
Note: registration details (BIR TIN, SEC number, registered address) will be added once the entity is fully incorporated. This page is the placeholder for the launch.
02
The editor-in-chief of the site, responsible for content under Republic Act 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012) and the Anti-Cybercrime regulations, is the founder of Umayon. All editorial enquiries reach the same hello@umayon.io inbox.
03
The website (this domain), the internal admin tool, and the supporting API run on a virtual private server provisioned by Umayon. We do not delegate hosting to third-party PaaS providers.
Object storage for media is provided by a self-hosted MinIO instance running on the same infrastructure. Analytics events are stored in PostgreSQL and ClickHouse, also self-hosted. No personal data is processed by external providers.
