This notice explains what personal data Magandang Kita collects, why we collect it, and your rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). We keep it short and plain.
1. Who we are
Magandang Kita is a phone app for home food sellers in the Philippines. It is operated by Ryan Von Emmanuel Uriarte, who is responsible for your personal data.
Contact: support@magandangkita.com
2. What we collect
Your account
- Your name and email address.
- We use your email to sign you in and to send you account emails, like your login details and password resets.
If you ask for early access
- Your name, mobile number, type of business, and town or city. We use them only to call or text you about the app.
- Which of our links or Facebook ads brought you to the sales page, if any.
If you pay by GCash or bank transfer
- Your mobile number and address. We use them to reach you about your order and to keep a record of each sale.
- The screenshot of your receipt. It can show your name, your GCash number or bank account number, and the payment reference.
- Which of our links or Facebook ads brought you to the sales page, if any.
If you pay through PayMongo
- A record that you paid: the amount, the date and the payment reference. You enter your payment details on PayMongo's page, not ours.
If you ask for a refund
- The GCash number or bank account you paid from, so we can send the money back, and your reason if you give one.
Your business records
- What you type into the app: products, ingredients, prices, sales, expenses and product photos.
- These are stored online in your account, so you can use the app on more than one phone and nothing is lost if your phone is.
- If you add staff logins: each staff member's name and the username you give them. They sign in to your records, but their phones do not receive your expenses, costs or supply prices.
Basic technical data, to keep sign-in safe
- A sign-in cookie, so the app knows it is you.
- The type of device you use, to recognise your phones when you sign in.
- Your IP address, to limit repeated sign-in, sign-up and order attempts, and so one device cannot inflate our visit counts. It is not saved with the counts.
On this website
- If you choose English or Taglish on our sales page, that choice is saved on your own phone, not sent to us.
- If you arrive from one of our links or ads, your phone remembers which one for 30 days. It is sent to us with your early access request or your order, and with the visit counts below.
- Visit counts: how many people open the sales page each day, how many reach the early access form, and how many start filling it in, grouped by the link or ad that brought them. We keep only these totals, with no name, number or device ID. Your phone keeps a small note so the same visit is not counted twice in one day.
- Our pages load their fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser asks Google's servers for them.
3. Why we use it
- To give you your account and keep your records in sync across your phones.
- To call or text you about the app, if you asked for early access.
- To send your login and password-reset emails.
- To check that your payment went through, and to send your refund if you ask for one.
- To prevent abuse, like people guessing passwords or sending fake orders.
- To see which of our ads bring visitors and buyers, so we spend less on the ones that do not.
What we do not do. We do not sell your data. We do not use it to show you ads. Your business records are yours, and we use them only to run your account.
4. Who else handles your data
We use a few trusted services to run Magandang Kita. They handle data only to provide their service to us.
- Cloudflare: hosting, the database, and sending emails.
- PayMongo: payments, only if you pay through it.
We may also share data if the law requires it, for example a valid order from a court or a government agency.
5. How long we keep it
- Early access details: deleted automatically one year after you send them, or sooner if you ask.
- Account data and business records: kept while your account is active.
- After a refund, or if you ask us to delete your account: deleted within 30 days.
- Payment records: kept for as long as the tax rules require.
6. How we keep it safe
- Passwords are stored only as one-way hashes. We cannot see your password.
- All connections to the app are encrypted.
- Sign-in attempts are limited, to stop password guessing.
No system is perfectly safe. If a breach affects your data, we will tell you and the National Privacy Commission as the law requires.
7. Your rights
Under the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to:
- Be informed about how your data is used.
- Access your data.
- Object to how it is used.
- Have it erased or blocked.
- Claim damages if you are harmed by a wrong use of your data.
- Get a copy of your data in a format you can take elsewhere (data portability).
- Have wrong or incomplete data corrected (rectification).
- File a complaint with the National Privacy Commission at privacy.gov.ph.
8. How to use your rights
Email support@magandangkita.com and tell us what you need. To protect your account, we may ask you to confirm it is really you, for example by writing from the email address on your account.
