Welcome to Philippine Social Science Council (PSSC)

Thank you for availing of  our Services. PSSC is located at 2nd Floor, Philippine Social Science Center, Commonwealth Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.

By using our Services, you expressly agree to our terms of service. Please read them carefully.

Our Services are still in beta-version, hence, sometimes additional terms or product requirements (including age requirements) may apply. Such additional terms of the relevant Services will be available and accessible for you and will become part of your agreement with us as you use said Services.

Using our Services

You hereby expressly agree  to  follow any and all policies, rules, or guidelines made available to you within the Services.

Any misuse, abuse, or unlawful conduct relative to our Services is absolutely prohibited. For example, the user shall not interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide. You may use our Services only as permitted by law, including applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations. PSSC reserves the right to immediately suspend or deny you the use of our Services if you do not comply with our terms or policies and/or during our investigation if we suspect any misconduct.

Using our Services does not give you ownership or any intellectual property rights of our Services or the content you access. You may not use content from our Services unless you obtain written permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. These terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logos used in our Services. Do not remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.

Our Services may display some content that is not the property of PSSC. This content is the sole property and responsibility of the entity that makes it available. We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates any of our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. However, PSSC does not guarantee that any and all content displayed in its Services have undergone any form of review.

In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative messages, and other information. You may opt out of some of those communications.

Some of our Services are available on mobile devices. Do not use such Services in a way that distracts you and prevents you from obeying traffic or safety laws.

Your PSSC Account

You may need a PSSC Account in order to use some of our Services. You may create your own PSSC Account, or your PSSC Account may be assigned to you by an administrator from PSSC. If you are using a PSSC Account assigned to you by an administrator, different or additional terms may apply and our administrator may access or disable your account if the need arises.

To protect your PSSC Account, keep your password confidential. You are responsible for the activity that happens on or through your PSSC Account. We encourage you not to reuse your PSSC Account password on third-party applications. If you learn of any unauthorized use of your password or PSSC Account, please contact PSSC Secretariat at phone number (632)-8929-2671.

Privacy

PSSC’s privacy policies explain how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use our Services. By using our Services, you consent to PSSC’s collection, storage, or use of such data in accordance with our privacy policies.

Your Content in our Services

Some of our Services allows you to upload, submit, store, send or receive content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights over such content.

When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give PSSC (and those we work with) a worldwide free and open license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This free  and open license continues even if you stop using our Services (for example, for a business listing you have added to PSSC Maps). Some Services may offer you ways to access and remove content that has been provided to that Service. In some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services.  You warrant that you have the necessary rights to grant us this free and open license for any content that you submit to our Services.

Our automated systems analyze your content (including emails) to provide you personally relevant information to help you solve your school issue. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored.

If you have a PSSC Account, we may display your Profile name, profile photo, and actions you take on PSSC or on third-party applications connected to your PSSC Account (such as +1’s, reviews you write and comments you post) in our Services, including displaying in ads and other commercial contexts. However, we will respect the choices you make to limit sharing or visibility settings in your PSSC Account. For example, you can choose your settings so your name and photo do not appear in an ad.

You can find more information about how PSSC uses and stores content in the privacy policy or additional terms for particular Services. If you submit feedback or suggestions about our Services, we may use your feedback or suggestions without obligation to you.
