We collect cookies, web beacons, small data text files, or similar technologies primarily to ensure that the core functions of our website and apps are optimally accessible to you. However, depending on your preferences, we may also collect and use this information for behavioral analytics to personalize our marketing campaigns.
Profiling and Automated Decision-Making
We process your personal data through automated operations to create customer profiles that reflect insights on your preferences and usage activity. This enables us to communicate relevant products and services to you, and to maintain, regulate, and improve your network quality and access.
Sharing of Personal Data
We may outsource the processing of your personal data to external parties including vendors, service providers, and other telecommunications operators who may process your personal data outside the Philippines to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. When we do so, we make sure they can only process your personal data strictly for the purpose stated in our contract with them. We also require them to protect your personal data with organizational, physical, and technical security measures consistent with our internal policies and ensure they return or dispose of your personal data upon the end of our engagement or as otherwise specified in our contract.

With your consent, we will share your personal data with our Partners for scoring, business analytics, and product development purposes as well as to allow them to market and extend their products and services to you. It is our policy to never share your personal data with external parties unless we obtain your consent or are otherwise required or allowed by law to do so.
Protection of Personal Data
We secure and protect your personal data with appropriate safeguards to ensure confidentiality and privacy, prevent loss, theft, use for unauthorized purposes, and comply with the requirements of the law.

To detect and mitigate evolving threats to information security and data privacy, we have implemented appropriate organizational, physical, and technical controls to protect your personal data including:

- A state-of-the-art Security Operations Center with a dedicated team that manages, monitors, and protects our network and systems from potential risks to your personal data with fully-documented security incident management procedures;

- Regular review of our collection, processing, storage, retention, and disposal practices including physical and electronic security measures to guard against unauthorized access to our network and systems;

- Contractually-mandated confidentiality among our authorized employees, contractors, and other external parties who may process your personal data;

- External party risk assessment as well as security features against data leakage, unauthorized access or disclosure, and accountability; and

- Identity and access management across our employees and external parties under a “need-to-know” standard.
Retention and Disposal of Personal Data
We keep your personal data for as long as you are our subscriber or until the purpose for why it was collected expires. However, it may be necessary for us to keep your personal data for a longer period for the fulfillment of the declared, specified and legitimate purpose; for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; for legitimate business or legal purposes consistent with applicable industry standards such as security, fraud prevention, or financial record-keeping or for cases as may be required by law.

The amount of subscriber, account, and service information that is retained may range from six (6) months to one (1) year from the date of request depending on the type of personal data.

We have also established procedures to securely dispose of files that contain your personal data whether in digital or physical form (e.g. shredding, erasure software, degaussing).
