Privacy Policy

2. Scope of this Policy

This Policy applies to personal information collected or processed through the official SPEEDels website and its online services, including contact forms, quotation requests, employment applications, business correspondence, uploaded documents, cookies, and technical logs. Personal information collected through offline operations may be covered by separate privacy notices and internal policies.

3. Compliance with Philippine Data Privacy Laws

SPEEDels processes personal information in accordance with Republic Act No. 10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012, its Implementing Rules and Regulations, applicable National Privacy Commission issuances, and other relevant Philippine laws.

6. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

SPEEDels may process information to respond to inquiries, prepare quotations, evaluate business engagements, process employment applications, verify documents, communicate with applicants and business partners, operate and secure the website, prevent fraud, comply with legal and contractual duties, and establish or defend legal claims.

Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on consent, steps necessary before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, protection of lawful rights and interests, or another lawful basis recognized under Philippine law.

7. Recruitment and Employment Applications

Applicant information is used for recruitment, screening, verification, interview scheduling, selection, pre-employment processing, authorized talent-pool management, and lawful employment requirements. Access is limited to authorized personnel and officers with an official need to know.

Submission does not guarantee employment. Applicants must ensure that information and documents submitted are accurate, complete, and authentic. SPEEDels does not make final recruitment decisions solely through automated processing.

8. Cookies, Website Analytics, and Log Files

The website may use essential cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember basic preferences, maintain security, and understand website use. Hosting and technical providers may maintain logs containing IP address, browser type, access date and time, and activity for administration, security, diagnostics, and statistics.

Visitors may control cookies through browser settings, although disabling essential cookies may affect website functions.

9. Sharing and Disclosure

SPEEDels does not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed only when reasonably necessary and legally permitted to authorized SPEEDels personnel, service providers subject to confidentiality and data-protection duties, government authorities or courts when required by law, professional advisers, or other parties when valid consent or another lawful basis applies.

If information must be transferred outside the Philippines, SPEEDels will take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate contractual, organizational, and technical protection.

10. Security Measures

SPEEDels applies reasonable organizational, physical, and technical safeguards, including a designated Data Protection Officer, access controls, confidentiality duties, password protection, secure hosting, SSL/TLS encryption, firewalls, anti-malware tools, updates, backup and recovery procedures, secure records handling, and periodic control reviews.

No internet or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, but SPEEDels takes reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access and respond appropriately to incidents.

11. Data Retention and Secure Disposal

Information is retained only as long as necessary for its declared purpose, legal or contractual duties, dispute resolution, audits, investigations, or legal claims. General inquiries are retained only as long as needed to address the request and preserve appropriate business records.

For unsuccessful applicants, SPEEDels generally retains recruitment records and uploaded documents for up to twelve (12) months after the relevant recruitment activity, unless the applicant consents to a longer talent-pool period, a longer period is required or allowed by law, the information is needed for an ongoing matter, or the applicant is hired and employee-record rules apply.

After the retention period, information is securely deleted, destroyed, anonymized, or otherwise disposed of to prevent unauthorized access or reconstruction.

12. Rights of Data Subjects

Subject to lawful conditions and limitations, data subjects may exercise the following rights:

SPEEDels may require reasonable proof of identity and authority before acting on a request.

13. Children's Privacy

The website is intended for corporate, employment, and informational purposes and is not directed to children. SPEEDels does not knowingly solicit personal information from children. A parent or lawful guardian may contact the DPO if a child is believed to have submitted information without appropriate authority.

14. Third-Party Websites and Services

External links and third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies. SPEEDels is not responsible for websites it does not control.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

SPEEDels may update this Policy to reflect changes in law, regulation, technology, website functions, or operations. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date or version number.
