Privacy Policy

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how Arvios (“Arvios,” “we,” “us”), operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], handles information collected through this careers website (the “Site”). Arvios is a member of the SM Digital group of companies. By using the Site or submitting an application, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

We collect information in two ways:

  • Information you give us. When you apply for a role or send a general application, we collect your name, email address, phone number, résumé/CV, and any other details you choose to include.
  • Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect usage data such as your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, and referring links, through cookies and similar technologies.

2. How we use your information

  • To review and process your application and communicate with you about roles.
  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and understand how it is used.
  • To measure the performance of our recruitment campaigns.
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud or misuse.

3. Cookies & analytics

We use cookies and analytics tools, loaded through Cloudflare Zaraz, to understand traffic and improve the Site. These may include Google Analytics 4, Google Ads conversion measurement, Meta (Facebook) Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity. These providers process usage data under their own privacy policies. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, the Site’s consent controls.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:

  • Service providers that help us run the Site and hiring process — for example our hosting provider (Cloudflare), our applicant-tracking system (Breezy HR), and the analytics providers named above.
  • Group companies within SM Digital, where relevant to your application.
  • Authorities, where required by law or to protect our rights.

5. Data retention

We keep application data for as long as needed to evaluate your candidacy and, where you agree, to consider you for future roles, after which it is deleted or anonymized in line with our retention schedule [CONFIRM RETENTION PERIOD].

6. Your rights

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (and other laws that may apply to you), you have the right to access, correct, object to, or request deletion of your personal information, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. You may also lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International transfers

Arvios works with teams in the United States and Latin America, and our service providers may process data outside your country. Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to protect it consistent with this policy and applicable law.

9. Contact us

For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] [CONFIRM DPO CONTACT], or write to us at [REGISTERED ADDRESS].

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when we post the revised version here, with an updated date above.
