PRIVACY STATEMENT

Our Privacy Statement

Smart Communications, Inc. (“SMART”) respects our customers’ fundamental right to privacy, and we commit to take great care in safeguarding your personal data. SMART has developed a privacy statement that aims to ensure that we adopt and observe appropriate standards for personal data protection in compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations.

While this privacy statement sets out the general principles that govern the collection, use, and disclosure of our customers’ personal data, we have also developed this privacy statement to inform you more specifically about our privacy practices.

Why we collect your personal data 

Throughout your use of our services, we collect and maintain some basic information about you. We do so only for the purposes and legal bases described below.

  1. We process your personal data to perform our obligations under contract with you.
    • To create and nurture a relationship with you, so that we can continuously provide you with our services. For example, when you apply for any of our services, we collect personal information about you that will allow us to validate your identity and credit history for purposes of billing and collection of fees for the products and services that you avail from us.
  2. We process your personal data based on our legitimate interest to function effectively as a business, but we only do so when your interests and fundamental rights or freedoms do not override our legitimate interest.
    • To continuously improve our business and operations. For example, we analyze your usage of our network and facilities to help us manage your account, provide customer care activities, investigate and resolve your service-related requests and concerns, monitor the quality and security of the network, train our staff, and plan for future growth. We may also process your personal contact details and publish them in an internal directory listing, in order to effectively communicate with you and provide you with necessary assistance.
    • To continuously improve our products and services. We collect, use, process, and analyze your use of our products and services so that we can understand how to improve them for your benefit. Our analysis may include some information about your usage, such as the volume and frequency of your use of our SMS, voice, and data services, and your historical locational information which we determine based on an analysis of the places where you may have used our products and services in order to generate insights on foot traffic, crowd density, and mobility patterns.
    • To understand your needs and preferences so that we can serve you better. We process data to determine your usage profile by maintaining a record of the products and services that you avail from us, and by analyzing other activities such as when you participate in our market research initiatives, when you visit and transact in our stores, and when you visit and use our websites and mobile apps.
    • We do so in order to gain a better insight about the kinds of offers that would be relevant to your preferences.
    • To manage the security of our business operations. We may process your personal data to conduct IT security operations, to manage our assets, to ensure your fair use of our products and services, and for business continuity, disaster recovery, and audit purposes.
  3. We process your personal data as you avail of our products and services so that we may be able to create and offer better products and services for you, including through direct marketing. We only carry out these processing activities based on your consent.
    • To send you offers, recommendations and promotions. We process your usage profile to send you customized offers and promotions through your contact details using channels such as SMS, voice calls, and e-mail. This includes location-based offers that are exclusively available in areas that you may frequent.
  4. We process your personal data to comply with legal requirements.
    • To assist public authorities. We generate statistical insights based on your usage of our network and facilities to assist public authorities in planning for healthcare, disaster management, and other similar initiatives. When we can, we aggregate and anonymize this information so that you are never identified as an individual.
    • To comply with legal requirements. We run credit scoring programs and initiatives, including but not limited to, providing information to the Credit Information Corporation in accordance to Republic Act No. 9501 and the Credit Information System Act. We may also perform other required personal data processing or disclosure to meet other relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

  • We restrict access to your information only to qualified and authorized personnel who are trained to handle your information with strict confidentiality;
  • We undergo regular audits and rigorous testing of our infrastructure’s security protocols to ensure your data is always protected;
  • We promptly notify you and the competent data protection authority, when sensitive personal data that may, under the circumstances, be used to enable identity fraud are reasonably believed to have been acquired by an unauthorized person;
  • We let you update your information securely to keep our records accurate.

  • Request a rectification of your personal data: this right entitles you to have your personal data corrected if it is found to be outdated, inaccurate, or incomplete.

  • Request portability of your personal data: this right entitles you to receive a copy of personal data that you have provided to us (in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format).

To the extent that the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time by contacting our Data Privacy Officer. Please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out before you withdrew your consent or SMART’s right to continue parts of the processing based on other legal bases than your consent.

You have the right at all times to register a complaint directly with the relevant supervisory authority or to make a claim against us with a competent court (either in the country where you live, the country where you work or the country where you deem that data privacy law has been infringed).
