Information We Collect
We adhere to the principles of proportionality and transparency. We collect only the data necessary to verify your identity, assess creditworthiness, and provide our services.
1. Identity and Contact Details
Collected during registration to establish your account and verify your identity:
- Full Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Nationality
- Current and permanent address
- Mobile number and Email address
2. Government ID and Verification
To comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations:
- Government-issued ID numbers (e.g., UMID, Driver’s License, Passport)
- Photos of your ID and a "selfie" for facial recognition matching
3. Financial and Employment Data
To assess repayment capacity and disburse funds:
- Employer name, job title, and income details
- Bank account or e-wallet details for loan disbursement
4. Contact List and Location Data (Optional)
Location: We may collect location information (subject to your permission) to prevent fraud, verify regional eligibility, and assist in risk assessment. You may disable location access at any time in iOS Settings.
Contact List Metadata: If you permit access, we collect encrypted metadata from your contact list solely for credit risk scoring and fraud prevention. We do NOT use this data for marketing, nor do we contact your friends or family for debt collection purposes. We use aggregated data to detect fraudulent patterns (e.g., fake contacts).
5. Camera Permission and Usage
We request access to your iOS camera solely for identity verification and document capture (e.g., selfie match to government ID and taking photos of ID documents) to comply with KYC/AML regulations and prevent fraud.
- Consent and Control: Access is optional and requires your explicit consent via iOS prompts. You may disable it anytime in Settings, though this may limit onboarding.
- Lawful Basis: We rely on Consent for access, and Legal Obligation/Contractual Necessity for the verification process.
- Security: Captured images are encrypted in transit and at rest, used only for verification, and not for marketing.
- Retention: We retain images for 3 to 5 years per our retention policy. You may contact our DPO to withdraw consent or exercise your rights.
6. Photo Library Permission and Usage
We may request access to your photo library to allow you to upload specific images of your government IDs or supporting documents for identity verification (KYC/AML) and fraud prevention. We do not scan or access your entire photo library; we only process the specific images you explicitly select via the iOS system photo picker.
- Consent and Control: Access is optional and requires your explicit permission. You can manage or revoke permissions in iOS Settings at any time, although disabling this may limit your ability to upload documents for verification.
- Lawful Basis: We rely on Consent for the optional selection process, and Legal Obligation/Contractual Necessity for the subsequent processing of the images required for loan verification.
- Security: Selected images are encrypted during transmission and at rest. They are used exclusively for identity verification and fraud checks, and are not used for marketing or advertising.
- Retention: We retain these images for 3 to 5 years in accordance with our retention policy. You may contact our DPO to exercise your rights regarding this data.

How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only when necessary and subject to strict accountability measures per RA 10173 Section 21:
- Service Providers (PIPs): We share data with trusted partners for payments, facial recognition (IDV), credit scoring, cloud hosting, and analytics. All partners are bound by data sharing agreements requiring comparable levels of protection.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose data to courts, law enforcement, or regulators (e.g., NPC, BSP) when required by law or subpoena.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the successor entity under secure conditions.
Accountability: We conduct due diligence on all third parties and maintain records of data processing and disclosures.
Data Storage and Retention
Storage: Your data is stored on secure cloud servers with strict access controls and encryption.
Retention Period: We retain your personal data only as long as necessary:
- While your account is active to provide services.
- For 3 to 5 years after account closure or transaction completion, as required by financial regulations and for tax/audit purposes.
Upon the expiration of the retention period, your data will be securely deleted, overwritten, or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you.
Data Security Measures
We implement reasonable and appropriate organizational, physical, and technical security measures pursuant to Section 20 of RA 10173:
- Technical: End-to-end encryption (AES, TLS) for data in transit and at rest; regular vulnerability assessments.
- Physical: Secure data centers and restricted access to physical records (if any).
- Organizational: Strict role-based access controls; regular privacy training for employees; confidentiality agreements.
While we employ industry-standard protections, no system is 100% secure. We continuously review and upgrade our security posture to protect your data.
Your Rights and How to Exercise Them
Under the Data Privacy Act, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Information & Access
- Right to be Informed: To know what data we collect and why.
- Right to Access: To request a copy of your personal data held by us.
- Right to Data Portability: To obtain your digital data in a structured format.
Control & Correction
- Right to Rectify: To correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to Erasure/Blocking: To ask us to delete or block your data (subject to legal retention periods).
- Right to Object: To object to processing (e.g., for marketing).
You also have the Right to Damages for violations of your rights and the Right to File a Complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
How to Exercise: Contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at operate@zelturesolutionsinc.com. We will respond to your request within the statutory timeline (typically 30 days), subject to necessary identity verification.
Consent and Withdrawal
Obtaining Consent: We obtain your explicit consent via checkboxes or system dialogs for optional data (e.g., location, contacts). For core services, your agreement to this policy and the Terms of Service constitutes consent.
Withdrawal: You may withdraw your consent for specific features (like location) via App settings. For full withdrawal (account closure), please contact us. Note that withdrawing consent for core data may prevent us from providing loan services. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Sensitive Personal Information
We handle Sensitive Personal Information (e.g., government IDs, health, biometric data) with stricter safeguards pursuant to Section 13 of RA 10173:
- We process this data only with your specific consent or when required by law.
- We use this data solely for identity verification, credit scoring, and fraud prevention.
- We never use sensitive personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Children’s Privacy
Adults Only: Our services are strictly intended for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.
Age Assurance: We employ age verification measures during onboarding. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will delete it immediately. In accordance with NPC guidance, we prioritize the best interests of the child in all our data practices.
Cookies & Third-Party SDKs
We use cookies, device identifiers, and third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) to ensure App security and functionality.
- Purpose: Session management, fraud detection, analytics, ID verification, and push notifications.
- No Ad Tracking: We do not use these technologies for third-party advertising tracking.
We review all SDKs for compliance. A detailed list of third-party SDKs used in the App is available upon request.
IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) and App Tracking Transparency (ATT)
The IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) is a unique device identifier assigned by Apple to a user's device for advertising purposes. Under Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, apps must request permission to track users across apps and websites owned by other companies. We value your privacy and are committed to full transparency regarding our use of this identifier.
- Current Practice: We do not currently use IDFA for third-party advertising tracking or cross-app/site tracking. Consequently, we do not present an ATT tracking consent prompt within the App at this time.
- Future Use and Consent: Should we determine a need to use IDFA in the future for limited, compliant purposes (such as non-advertising install attribution), we will first obtain your explicit consent via Apple's ATT prompt. You will have the option to allow or ask the App not to track.
- Lawful Basis: Any future processing of IDFA would be based strictly on your Consent. We do not rely on legitimate interests or contractual necessity for advertising tracking.
- No Sale of Data: We do not sell your personal information, nor do we use IDFA for marketing, profiling, or behavioral advertising.
- Data Rights and Security: Any identifiers collected in the future will be processed securely, retained only as long as necessary (typically 3 to 5 years per our retention policy), and subject to your rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), including the rights to access, rectification, erasure, and objection.
Personal Data Breach Notification
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach, we have an established Incident Response Plan:
- Notification: We will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and affected data subjects within 72 hours of knowledge or reasonable belief that a breach has occurred, specifically if it involves sensitive personal information that poses a real risk of serious harm.
- Mitigation: Our response team will immediately take steps to contain the breach, secure systems, and mitigate potential harm to you.
