Privacy Policy for BuiltaMart Rider App
Last Updated / Effective Date:June 23 2026
CTT.Synergy Corporation ("we," "us," or "our") operates as the Personal Information Controller
(PIC) under the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). We are
committed to protecting the privacy and securing the personal data of our delivery partners,
riders, and couriers ("Riders," "you").
This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, share, and dispose of your personal
data, with a specific emphasis on the precise location tracking required to perform our logistics
services.
1. Core Principles of Data Processing
In compliance with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) guidelines, your data is processed
based on three foundational pillars:
Transparency: We explicitly inform you about what data we track, why we track it, and
who sees it.
Legitimate Purpose: We only process data necessary to facilitate the courier and
delivery services contract.
Proportionality: We collect only the data that is adequate and relevant. We do not
track your location when you are off-duty.
2. Precise Location Tracking (GPS Data)
Because BuiltaMart Rider App supports an on-demand delivery for BuiltaMart App, processing
your precise real-time location is a contractual necessity. Without it, the app cannot function.
A. When We Collect Location Data
Foreground Tracking (App Open): We collect your precise location via GPS, Wi-Fi,
and cell towers when the app is open and visible on your screen.
Background Tracking (App Minimised/Screen Locked): We collect your precise
location in the background only when your status is toggled to "Online," "Offline," or
during an active delivery shift. This allows our system to allocate nearby delivery
requests to you and calculate accurate delivery ETAs.
No Off-Duty Tracking: The moment you toggle your status to "Offline" or log out, all
background location tracking ceases immediately. We respect your right to privacy
outside of your service hours.
B. Purpose of Location Tracking
Order Matching & Dispatching: To send delivery requests to the closest available rider,
reducing your travel time.
Real-Time Navigation: To provide optimized routing and turn-by-turn directions.
Customer & Merchant Updates: To allow the merchant and the end-customer to view
your real-time position on a map for delivery transparency.
Distance & Earnings Calculation: To precisely compute your distance-based fees,
incentives, and total payouts.
Safety & Incident Response: To locate you in case of road accidents, disputes, or
emergencies during an active delivery.
3. Other Personal Information We Collect
To manage your account and comply with Philippine regulatory laws, we also collect:
Account Profile: Full name, mobile number, email address, and profile photo.
Identity Verification Documents: Government-issued IDs (e.g., UMID, Passport, SSS),
Professional Driver’s License, Vehicle Registration (OR/CR), and NBI/Police Clearances.
Financial Details: Bank account or e-wallet info (e.g., GCash, Maya) for disbursement
of earnings.
Proof of Delivery (POD) Protocols: Photos taken upon successful delivery.
Important NPC Compliance Note: When taking a Proof of Delivery photo, Riders
must only take photos of the package or the location, and never take photos
showing the faces of minors or unauthorized individuals.
4. How We Share and Disclose Your Data
We do not sell your data. In line with the DPA, data sharing is restricted to what is necessary to
fulfill the delivery service:
To Customers: Once you accept an order, the customer sees your first name, vehicle
type, license plate number, and live GPS location until the booking is tagged as
complete.
To BuiltaMart: BuiltaMart’s Internal system will display your name and distance to track
your arrival for pickup.
To Third-Party Processors: We utilize trusted service providers (such as cloud hosts
like AWS/Google Cloud, map APIs like Google Maps, and payment gateways) bound by
strict Data Sharing Agreements (DSAs) that mirror our privacy standards.
To Law Enforcement / Government Agencies: We may disclose location history or
identity details if legally compelled by a valid subpoena, court order, or formal request
from agencies like the NPC, LTO, or PNP.
5. Data Security, Retention, and Secure Disposal
We implement strict organizational, physical, and technical security measures (including
end-to-end encryption and restricted access controls) to prevent unauthorized access,
alteration, or leaks.
Retention: We do not retain your location logs for as long as you maintain an active
account with us.
Disposal: Historical location logs are anonymized or permanently deleted after 1 year,
unless required for active legal disputes or tax audits. In compliance with the NPC,
disposal is executed via secure digital shredding to ensure data can never be recovered.
6. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under Chapter IV of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you hold specific rights which you
can exercise at any time:
1. Right to be Informed: Knowing how and why your location and data are being
processed (fulfilled via this policy).
2. Right to Access: Requesting a copy of the personal information we hold about you,
including your account details.
3. Right to Rectification: Mandating the correction of any inaccurate or outdated
information in your profile.
4. Right to Erasure or Blocking: Requesting the deletion or suspension of your account
and personal data from our systems.
5. Right to Object: The right to refuse location tracking, though doing so will mean you
cannot go "Online" to receive orders.
6. Right to Data Portability: Obtaining your data in a secure, electronic, and structured
format for your personal use.
7. Right to File a Complaint: If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you
have the right to file a formal complaint directly with the National Privacy Commission
(NPC) (www.privacy.gov.ph).
8. Right to Damages: Seeking indemnity for any financial or personal harm suffered due
to inaccurate, false, or unauthorized use of your data.
