III. WHAT DATA WE COLLECT
Depending on your User type, we collect several different

You provide us with personally identifiable information
such as your name, email address, and physical address through various media and/or forms, such as original,
notarized, and/or stamped documents in print or copies in accessible, legible, and electronic format, as may be
necessary. Other Personal Data that we do not expressly require of you but which you willingly provide to us are
collected as well. The information we collect depends on the features, functionalities, products, and Services
that you request through our Platforms. Such information, which may or may not include personally identifiable
information, includes but are not limited to the following:
The Personal Information provided by the Users is
essential for the provision and enhancement of the Credit Kaagapay Services, with the aim of providing an optimal user
experience. As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the Services, we may occasionally request additional
Personal Information from Users, beyond what has been previously mentioned, through the Application and/or Site,
subject to the User’s explicit consent. Rest assured that we do not disclose this data to any third-party, except as outlined within the provisions of this
Policy or when required by law. We reserve the right to verify the information and
documents provided by Users using reliable sources. Users authorize Credit Kaagapay and any financial partners and/or third-party service
provider to process Know Your Customer (KYC) Documents and determine their eligibility for our services and for fulfilling legal and regulatory
compliance requirements, subject to
Credit Kaagapay’s Privacy Policy and Terms. The permission granted by Users for financial partners
and/or third-party service providers to access KYC Documents is governed by the privacy policies of such financial partners and/or third-party service
providers. The personal information collected during the KYC process
is used solely for legal and regulatory compliance purposes, such as anti-money laundering (AML) and
counter-terrorism financing (CTF). Credit
Kaagapay maintains the confidentiality and
privacy of Users' information and only shares it with authorized parties such as its financial
partners and third-party service
providers, with the User's explicit consent or as required by
law or competent governmental
authorities. Any such sharing is conducted under strict contractual agreements that obligate these parties to protect your data in
accordance with this Privacy Policy and the
Data Privacy Act of 2012. Credit Kaagapay is dedicated to safeguarding Users' personal data in
accordance with relevant data protection laws and regulations.
We reserve the right to utilize your Personal Data for the
purpose of communicating marketing materials, promotional content, and other information that may be deemed
relevant and of interest to you through
websites, newsletters, SMS, social media and other suitable platforms. However, you maintain the option to unsubscribe from
receiving any or all of these communications by following the provided unsubscribe link.
Any Personal Information that you provide shall not be
deemed as personal information if such information does not meet the definition of personal information under
Republic Act No. 10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Moreover, it is important to emphasize that any reviews,
comments, messages, blogs or similar content posted, uploaded, conveyed, or communicated by Users on the public sections
of the Site or an application store (such as the App Store or Play Store) shall be deemed as publicly published content by your own choice. As published content, such information becomes accessible to others and is no
longer subject to the same privacy expectations as data provided
privately to Credit Kaagapay.
Upon registering with the Services, it is probable that we
may periodically contact you to request updates or revisions to your Information. This is intended to ensure the
accuracy and currency of your provided details, for the proper provision of our Services and for
compliance with regulatory requirements. It is essential that you provide us with your updated
information upon request or at your own discretion when necessary to be informed with the latest and material information related
to your usage of our Service. Credit Kaagapay shall not be held liable for not contacting you timely due to your failure to provide
your updated information hereof.

We may also collect information that your browser sends
whenever you visit our Service or when you access our Service by or through a mobile device (“Usage Data”). This
Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), the

When you access our Service with a mobile device, this
Usage Data may include information such as the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device unique ID, the
IP address of your mobile device, your mobile operating system, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
To monitor and analyze user behavior on the App/Site, as
well as to continually improve our services, we employ various tools such as Google Analytics, Firebase and
other similar platforms. These tools provide valuable insights into user interactions and enable us to optimize
our offerings.
Valuable

Your feedback improves our
community and our Services. You consent to the collection of Personal Data whenever you transact with our
customer service and support personnel. Such information collected includes but is not limited to your full
name, email address, mobile number, orders made, and account numbers. Please tell us what we can do to improve
our Services.
V. WHAT WE DO NOT
COLLECT
We do not collect more than what
is necessary for the specific, legitimate purposes outlined in this
Privacy Policy.
The only Personal Data, if any, that we collect comes from
you. We collect only the minimum amount and kind of information necessary for our Services, our Partners’ products, and to comply with our legal and regulatory
obligations.
VI. LINK TO FINANCIAL PARTNERS AND THIRD-PARTY
SITES/AD-SERVERS
The Site may contain
links to other websites such as advertisers, blogs, content sponsorships, vendor services, social networks, and
more. While we strive
to select reputable and reliable partners
and ensure our own practices align with data
protection standards, it is important to exercise caution that these websites
operate under their own distinct privacy statements and practices, which are beyond our control. To further protect
yourself, we strongly recommend reviewing the privacy
policies of these third-party websites before providing any personal
information. When you navigate away from
our Site (which can be determined by checking the URL in your browser’s address bar), any information you
consent to provide to these external sites is subject to the Privacy Policy of the respective website operator. We cannot provide
any representation or warranty regarding how your information is stored or used on financial partners and
third-party servers, and we are unable to
take any responsibility in any form for any violation of your information conducted by such financial partners and third-party servers.
VII. WHOM WE SHARE THE DATA WITH
The Information (including Personal Information) collected
may be shared with our affiliates, financial partners, and group companies to the extent required for our
internal business and/or administrative purposes and/or general corporate operations and to any third-party
service providers, including marketing partners, and the User hereby consents to the same. When sharing with third-party service providers, including
marketing partners, for their direct marketing purposes, such sharing will only occur with your explicit,
separate consent. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that these
third-party service providers are obligated to protect your personal information and are also subject to
appropriate confidentiality/non-disclosure obligations and they comply with the applicable provisions of the
data protection laws. These entities, with whom we share the Information, may market to you as a result of such
sharing unless you explicitly opt-out.
The User consents that we may have access to your location
and device information and we may request you to provide your PAN, Know-Your-Customer (KYC) details, and
biometric data to check your eligibility, to enhance your experience and provide you access to the
services being offered by us, our affiliates, financial partners, or other third-party service providers (including lenders).
Your consent to access location and device
information is specifically for fraud prevention, credit scoring, and to ensure service functionality and
eligibility. Biometric data might be collected and processed, with the explicit consent of the
User and in compliance with Section 12 of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and
NPC Circular No. 2022-02, only for User verification using facial recognition and
liveliness detection mechanism, strictly for identity confirmation, fraud prevention, and
compliance with legal and regulatory KYC requirements.
Further, the User also consents to share Personal
Information, including Sensitive Personal information, when it is requested or required by law or by any court
or governmental agency or authority to disclose, for the purpose of verification of identity, or for the
prevention, detection, investigation including cyber incidents, or for prosecution and punishment of offenses.
These disclosures are made in good faith and belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for enforcing
the Terms and Conditions or for complying with the applicable laws and
regulations. No Personal Information of an individual User such as name, contact number, email address, card
details, etc. would be shared with any other User and/or unauthorized third-party unless explicitly approved by the concerned individual
User himself/herself.
By using the Credit Kaagapay Services and providing Personal Information to us, Users
agree and consent to the disclosure, transfer, storage, and processing of the Personal Information, including
the Sensitive Personal Information, by us in the Philippines and/or in other countries to its affiliates,
financial partners, group companies, and third parties. While our primary motive is to protect the disclosure of
Personal Information (except in accordance with the provisions of this Policy) of Users, Users may note that countries where their Personal
Information may be stored, may not have data protection laws similar to the countries where they are
located.
In our data sharing activities, the following shall be
observed:
We may disclose Personal Data that we collect, or you
provide for any of the following activities:
Disclosure for Law Enforcement. Under certain
circumstances, we may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to
valid requests by public authorities.
Business Transaction. If we or our subsidiaries are
involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred.
Other cases. We may disclose your information also:
We may also share your Personal Information in the event of a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets. In such cases, we will notify you before your Personal Information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
VIII. INFORMATION STORAGE AND BACKUP
Periodically, we perform data backups of User information
on our cloud-based database. This practice serves the purpose of ensuring that Users can recover their data in
the event of data loss or unavailability on their mobile devices, such as device malfunction, loss, or when
transitioning to a new device.
We shall retain User's Personal Information in our records
for a period of [5] years after the termination of services or last
interaction with the User, whichever is later, unless a longer retention period is required by law, or for our legal and regulatory obligations (e.g., anti-money
laundering laws, tax laws), to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements or for other legitimate business purposes. However, once the provision of company Services is no
longer applicable or pertinent to a specific User, we shall expunge all Personal Information associated with
that particular User from our records
in a manner that prevents further processing,
unauthorized access, or disclosure, in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our internal data
retention policy.
IX. INFORMATION SECURITY
We implement reasonable and appropriate organizational, physical, and technical security measures to safeguard against unauthorized
access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data, including accidental or intentional manipulation, and
loss from unauthorized parties. These measures encompass internal assessments of our data collection, storage,
processing practices, along with security protocols and employee training on data privacy and
security. We employ suitable encryption and
physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access to systems where personal data is stored. All
Personal Information collected on the Credit
Kaagapay platform is securely stored within
controlled databases. Access to these servers is password-protected and strictly limited.
Our security measures undergo regular reviews and updates to align with technological advancements. While we take all reasonable steps to ensure the security of Personal Information, it is important to understand that no transmission of data over the internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
We strive to comply with applicable data protection laws
to safeguard User privacy and Personal Information. We have implemented physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards that align with the laws of specific jurisdictions to protect User Personal Information. By accepting
the terms of this Policy, you acknowledge that the standards and practices we have
in place are reasonable and adequate for the protection of your personal information.
In the event of a breach of security, confidentiality, or
integrity resulting in the unauthorized access or disclosure of your unencrypted electronically stored Personal
Information, we will promptly notify you via email or any other feasible means without undue delay, to the
extent consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement. We will also notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC)
within the period prescribed by law following the discovery of the breach, in accordance with the Data Privacy
Act of 2012 and NPC Circular No. 16-03 (Personal Data Breach Management). We will take all necessary measures to investigate and
remediate the breach, and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
X. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING
We will only collect and process Personal Information
about you when we have a lawful basis to do so. The primary purpose of collecting your information, including
Personal Information, is to provide you with personalized access to Credit Kaagapay and its various features, as well as for other lawful
purposes as deemed necessary. It is important to note that if you choose not to provide consent for the
collection of your Personal Information
where consent is required by law for a specific
purpose, or if the information is essential for contract performance, it is possible that we may be unable to fulfill our
contractual obligations to you. By "perform the contract," we are referring to the Terms and Conditions that govern your use of the Credit Kaagapay Service. Consequently, your access to certain features of
the Credit Kaagapay Service may be restricted or we may be unable to provide
you with the Credit Kaagapay Service in its entirety.
For example, we use your information where we need the
Personal Information to perform the contract with you (for example, to provide the Platform or our services to
you) so as to:

consent as follows:

the processing of personal information).
