| Everyone | Name, email address, password (stored only as a one-way hash), optional phone number, account status and email verification, sign-in records (time, IP address and browser details), messages and photos you send, notifications, reports you file or that are filed about you, and your confirmation of this notice. |
|---|---|
| Job seekers | Gender, birthdate, address, education level, skills, years of work experience, bio, profile photo, biodata file, an optional intro video, applications (with cover letters and screening answers), interview details, ratings, and employment and hire or release records. |
| Employers | Position at the company; company name, address, industry, description and logo; verification documents (such as a business permit, DTI/SEC registration and a valid government ID); job posts; decisions on applicants; and ratings. |
| Service providers | Gender, service category, bio, address and photo; verification documents (such as a valid government ID, barangay clearance and certificates); listings; service requests (including the date, time and address of the work); and reviews. |
Sensitive personal information. The law treats some of this as sensitive: your birthdate (age), your education, and government-issued IDs. We process it only with your consent and we ask only for what the service needs. Files you upload can contain more than we ask for, so upload only what is required and cover up details that are not needed.
Video interviews and screen sharing are not recorded or stored.
We process your information with your consent, which you give when you create your account and which you can withdraw at any time. Where it applies, we also process it to provide the service you asked for, and to carry out PESO's public employment-service functions. We do not sell your personal information, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not use advertising or tracking services.
| Employers | See details of people who apply to their jobs: name, email, photo, skills, education, bio, cover letter, screening answers, biodata, intro video and ratings. They see the contact details of people they hire. They can also see provider listings, names, photos, bios, addresses and ratings. |
|---|---|
| Job seekers | See the company profile, job details and rating of employers who post jobs. |
| Service providers | See the name or company, email and request details (date, time, address, message) of employers who request their services, and those employers' ratings. |
| Any signed-in user | Can open a short quick profile of another user: name, role, photo and the public parts of the profile (skills, education and bio for job seekers; company details for employers; service details and ratings for providers). |
| PESO administrators | Can see account information and uploaded documents, in order to verify accounts, handle reports and run the platform, and can read the activity log. |
| Messages | Messages and chat photos are visible only to the people in that conversation. |
| Hostinger | Provides the server where Padagos and all its data are stored. |
|---|---|
| Google (Gmail) | Sends verification and password-reset emails, so your email address and name pass through Google's mail systems. |
| Metered | When two people in a video interview cannot connect directly, an encrypted relay is used. The relay can see network addresses but not the content of the call. |
| jsDelivr | Delivers the page design, icon and chart libraries, and so can see the IP address and browser details of visitors loading those files. |
These services handle information only to provide their function for Padagos.
| Account, profile and activity (applications, messages, interviews, requests, ratings) | For as long as your account exists. When you delete your account in Account Settings, or a PESO administrator deletes it, these records are removed from the database. |
|---|---|
| Uploaded files (photos, biodata, intro videos, verification documents, chat photos) | Kept while your account exists. When you delete your account, or a PESO administrator deletes it, these files are deleted from the server together with your records. Photos in your conversations are deleted too, because deleting an account deletes its conversations, including the other person's copy of them. |
| Activity logs (sign-ins, administrative actions, IP addresses) | 12 months, after which they are deleted automatically. |
| Video calls and screen sharing | Not recorded, so nothing is kept. |
| Backups | Backup copies of the system may still contain deleted information until those backups are replaced. |
We may keep specific information longer where the law requires it or where it is needed to handle a complaint or dispute.
No system is perfectly secure. If a security incident affects your personal information in a way that could put you at risk, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission as the law requires.
Under the Data Privacy Act you have the right to:
You can correct most information yourself in your profile and Account Settings, and delete your account there too. For anything else, contact the Data Protection Officer using the details in section 1. We may need to confirm who you are first. If you believe your rights have been violated, you may complain to the National Privacy Commission at privacy.gov.ph.
