- Access token, refresh token, session ID, expiry timestamps, User ID, and role in secure storage
- Device ID in device preferences
- Short-lived cached payloads used for performance and app responsiveness
Users may clear some local data by logging out, uninstalling the app, or clearing app data through device settings, but server-side records must be managed through support as described below.
4. Sensitive Personal Information
The Seven Trent App is not designed to request unnecessary sensitive personal information. However, some information processed through the app may be sensitive or may become sensitive depending on context, including birthdate, government permits, business registration documents, uploaded images, signatures, location data, and documents that may contain government-issued identifiers.
Users should not upload IDs, bank account details, health information, or other sensitive information unless specifically requested and necessary for the relevant transaction, verification, legal, or support purpose.
Where the Data Privacy Act requires consent or another specific lawful basis for sensitive personal information, we process such information only as permitted by applicable law. The NPC and Data Privacy Act recognize special rules for sensitive personal information and require lawful processing grounds.
5. Why We Use Personal Data
We process personal data for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Examples of Data Used | Lawful Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account creation and account management | Name, email, phone, role, profile details, birthdate | Contract necessity, consent, legitimate interest |
| Authentication and security | Password, OTP, tokens, device ID, session metadata, IP address | Contract necessity, legitimate interest, legal obligation |
| Trusted-device, fraud, and abuse prevention | Device metadata, login records, IP address, audit logs | Legitimate interest, legal obligation |
| Password reset and account recovery | Email, phone, OTP, device data | Contract necessity, consent, legitimate interest |
| Service address onboarding and verification | Business address, coordinates, permits, photos, storage data | Contract necessity, consent, legitimate interest, legal obligation |
| Order placement and fulfillment | Service address, products, quantities, order notes, cycle data | Contract necessity |
| Delivery coordination and tracking | Service address location, route, ETA, status, optional driver location | Contract necessity, legitimate interest |
| Legal consent and contract evidence | Accepted document version, timestamp, IP address, user agent | Consent, contract necessity, legal obligation |
| Support and dispute handling | Support messages, account/orderrecords, attachments | Contract necessity, legitimate interest, legal obligation |
| Upload validation, sanitization, and security scanning | Uploaded files, file metadata, scan results | Legitimate interest, legal obligation, security necessity |
| Compliance, audit, tax, legal claims, and recordkeeping | Transaction records, consent records, logs, account records | Legal obligation, legitimate interest |
The Data Privacy Act allows processing under lawful criteria such as consent, contract necessity, legal obligation, and legitimate interests that are not overridden by data subject rights.
6. App Permissions
The Seven Trent App may request access to the following device features:
Location. Used to search, confirm, and display service addresses, maps, and delivery-related information. Location access is used only when needed for app features and according to device permission settings.
Camera. Used to capture service address documents, site photos, supporting images for orders, and other permitted upload types.
Photos, gallery, or file picker. Used to select permitted files such as JPG, PNG, or PDF documents for upload.
Internet/network access. Used to connect to Seven Trent App services, APIs, authentication, maps, uploads, delivery tracking, and support functions.
The app should not be used to upload files or images that are unrelated to the requested business, orders, service address, or support purpose.
7. Upload Validation, Sanitization, and File Scanning
For uploads, the Seven Trent App and backend systems apply file validation and sanitization before uploaded files are linked to business records. This includes checking file type, file size, file signature, upload status, and readiness conditions. Confirming an upload may be blocked if validation, sanitization, or security checks fail.
For suspicious files, we may use VirusTotal or similar security services to help detect malware or unsafe content. VirusTotal is not used for every upload; it is used for suspicious files or where security review requires it. When VirusTotal is used, file bytes and related metadata may be submitted to VirusTotal for analysis.
Supporting file uploads currently support JPG, PNG, and PDF files and are capped at 5 MB in the Seven Trent App. Service address document uploads currently support JPG, PNG, and PDF files and are capped at 15 MB.
8. How We Share Personal Data
We share personal data only as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including with:
Authorized personnel and contractors. Operations, finance, dispatch, support, compliance, technical, and management personnel may access personal data only when needed for their assigned functions.
Cloud infrastructure providers. We use Google Cloud Platform for database and backend infrastructure. We may also use caching, object storage and backup services for uploaded files, transaction records, system data, caches, short-lived operational data, session or realtime support, and similar technical purposes.
Network, domain, and security providers. We use Cloudflare for domain, DNS, security, traffic routing, caching, or related network protection services.
Mapping and location providers. We may use Google Maps, Google Places, Google Geocoding, and Google Routes to support service address search, geocoding, maps, routing, ETA, and delivery-related features.
Identity providers. If Users choose social login or account linking, we may share or receive data from Google Identity.
Email and SMS providers. We may use email and SMS providers to send OTPs, account notices, support messages, order updates, and delivery-related messages.
File security providers. Uploaded files and related metadata may be submitted to VirusTotal or a similar malware scanning provider for security analysis.
Professional advisers and auditors. We may share relevant data with accountants, auditors, lawyers, insurers, and other professional advisers where necessary for accounting, audit, compliance, dispute handling, or legal claims.
Regulators and authorities. We may disclose data to government agencies, courts, law enforcement, regulators, or other authorities when required or allowed by law.
The processor register identifies Google, VirusTotal, and related infrastructure as source-visible or production-relevant processor categories.
9. International Data Transfers
Personal data may be stored, cached, routed, accessed, or otherwise processed outside the Philippines, including in Google Cloud Platform backend, database infrastructure, caching, and other locations where Cloudflare, Google, VirusTotal, support tools, or other service providers operate.
When we transfer personal data outside the Philippines, we use appropriate safeguards such as contractual controls, access restrictions, role-based access, encryption where applicable, confidentiality obligations, security controls, and vendor due diligence.
10. Security Measures
We implement reasonable and appropriate organizational, physical, and technical safeguards to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction. These safeguards include, where applicable:
- HTTPS/TLS for production network communications
- WSS for realtime communication where applicable
- Secure token storage on User devices
- Encrypted storage or encryption where applicable
- Role-based access controls
- Authentication and session validation
- OTP verification and trusted-device controls
- Short-lived upload and download URLs
- File validation, sanitization, and suspicious-file scanning
- Redaction of access tokens for production release
- Logging and monitoring with safeguards for sensitive data
- Access controls for personnel and service providers
- Backup, audit, incident response, and security review processes
No system is completely secure. Users must protect their login credentials, OTPs, devices, and account access, and must immediately report unauthorized access or suspected misuse.
11. Retention and Deletion
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including account management, order fulfillment, supporting file verification, delivery operations, support, security, audit, compliance, dispute handling, and legal claims.
Accounting and transaction records are generally retained for at least five (5) years as required by applicable tax and accounting rules. Where necessary for contracts, collections, disputes, legal claims, or legal obligations, related records may be retained for up to ten (10) years or until the relevant matter is finally resolved. BIR Revenue Regulations No. 17-2013 require books of accounts and other accounting records to be preserved for ten (10) years, with longer preservation where a relevant tax protest or claim remains pending.
Short-lived operational data, such as unlinked uploads and live location cache data, is retained for shorter periods according to system cleanup rules. The upload audit shows that upload URLs are short-lived, pending upload slots older than 24 hours are expired and cleaned up, and soft-deleted upload slots older than 30 days may be permanently deleted under cleanup rules, subject to exclusions.
When data is no longer needed, we delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, unless retention is required or allowed by law, contract, legitimate business need, audit, dispute handling, security, or legal claims.
12. Account Deletion and Data Management Requests
Users may request access, correction, deletion, blocking, withdrawal of consent where applicable, data portability where applicable, or other privacy-related action by contacting support or the DPO using the contact details in this Privacy Policy.
There is no User-facing self-service data management portal for access, correction, export, deletion, or consent withdrawal. Users must contact support, and the support team must validate the User’s identity before processing any request. To protect User accounts and business records, we may ask for account identifiers, registered email or phone number, transaction or order details, business/service address details, proof of authority, or other reasonable verification information.
Account deletion is not immediate self-service deletion. A deletion request may be submitted through the Seven Trent App or support, but it is reviewed and fulfilled by authorized personnel. The in-app deletion action creates or returns a pending request and does not directly delete the account, clear local auth state, export data, or withdraw consent.
We may deny, limit, or delay deletion, blocking, portability, or withdrawal requests where personal data remains necessary for:
- Fulfillment of orders, deliveries, or support requests
- Compliance with tax, accounting, regulatory, or legal obligations
- Fraud prevention, security, audit, and abuse investigation
- Contract enforcement, collections, disputes, or legal claims
- Legitimate business purposes consistent with applicable law
NPC guidance recognizes that a request for erasure or blocking may be denied wholly or partly when personal data remains necessary for the original purpose, legal obligation, legal claims, legitimate business purposes, or other grounds provided by law.
13. User Rights
Subject to the Data Privacy Act and other applicable laws, Users may have the right to:
- Be informed whether personal data is being processed
- Access personal data about them
- Request correction of inaccurate or outdated personal data
- Object to or withhold consent for certain processing, where applicable
- Request blocking, removal, or destruction of personal data where legally available
- Request data portability where applicable
- Be indemnified for damages caused by privacy violations, where legally available
- File a complaint with the National Privacy Commission
The Data Privacy Act provides rights to be informed, access, correction, blocking/removal/destruction in certain cases, damages, and data portability.

14. Communications
We may send Users transactional and operational communications, including OTPs, account security notices, support replies, service address review updates, order updates, delivery updates, legal notices, and in-app announcements.
Marketing messages, if any, will be handled according to applicable consent and opt-out requirements. Service-related communications may still be sent where necessary for security, account operation, order fulfillment, delivery, support, or legal compliance.
15. Automated Processing
The Seven Trent App may use automated technical checks, such as login validation, trusted-device checks, OTP validation, upload validation, file readiness checks, service address eligibility checks, order availability checks, and system security checks.
We do not use solely automated processing to make decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on Users without appropriate human involvement, unless such processing is disclosed and permitted by applicable law.
16. Third-Party Websites, SDKs, and Services
The Seven Trent App may integrate with third-party services such as Google, Cloudflare, VirusTotal and cloud infrastructure providers. These third parties may process data according to their own terms, privacy notices, and service rules where they act as independent controllers, or according to our instructions where they act as processors.
Users should review the privacy notices of third-party login or mapping providers when choosing to use those services.
17. Data Breach and Incident Response
We maintain security incident management and response procedures. Where a personal data breach requires notification under applicable law, we will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected Users as required. NPC breach guidance requires notification through the NPC system within 72 hours upon knowledge or reasonable belief when notification is mandatory.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Seven Trent App, data processing activities, vendors, infrastructure, legal requirements, or operational practices.
When we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Seven Trent App, email, website, or another reasonable channel. The updated Privacy Policy will state its effective date. Continued use of the Seven Trent App after the effective date means Users acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy, subject to any consent requirements under applicable law.
