DRAFT for counsel. Not yet approved. No real data is to be collected under this notice until counsel signs it off and this line is removed.
This notice explains what Meridian (“we”) does with your personal data when you apply through this website, under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173).
Who is responsible
Meridian’s company is being incorporated. Until that is complete, MoneyDoctors Inc. (MDI) is responsible for your data. MDI holds it for Meridian and uses it only for the purposes in this notice. You can reach us, and our Data Protection Officer, at [email protected].
What we collect
-
From you: your name, mobile number and email address. We confirm one of these with a code. The other isn’t checked.
-
About your visit: the page you applied through, the advertising campaign and click ID that brought you here, the website that referred you, and your progress through the application.
-
Your choices: which consents you gave or withdrew, when, and under which version of this notice.
-
If you take the assessment: your answers, how long each took, whether you changed them, and the results worked out from them. We treat this as sensitive personal information, and we only collect it with your separate consent.
-
For your application: your résumé, or your answers about your previous experience.
Why we use it, and on what basis
| Purpose | Basis |
|---|---|
| Processing your application: confirming your contact details, reviewing your résumé, booking your interview, contacting you about it | Your consent, given by ticking the box on the form |
| Assessing your application with your answers | Your separate consent, given before the assessment starts |
| Sending you news about careers and events | Your separate consent, only if you tick that box. Leaving it unticked changes nothing about your application |
| Measuring our ads with the Meta Pixel | Your separate consent, only if you accept in the cookie banner |
| Knowing which ads and pages bring applicants, using the campaign details above | Your consent, given by ticking the box on the form. Until then, these details stay in your browser |
Who receives it
We use these service providers, who act on our instructions:
| Provider | What they do | Where the data goes |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Stores accounts and application records | Singapore |
| Cloudflare | Serves this website and checks you’re not a bot (Turnstile) | Global network |
| Resend | Sends our emails | United States |
| Semaphore | Sends a text code to your mobile number, only if you choose a text code | Philippines |
| Calendly | Books your interview. It receives your name and email, plus a reference number that links the booking to your application | United States |
| Meta | Measures our ads, only if you accepted cookies | United States and Ireland |
Some of these are outside the Philippines, so your data may be transferred abroad. We stay responsible for your data while these providers handle it, and we choose providers that commit by contract to protecting it.
We don’t sell your data.
How long we keep it
We keep your application data for [Retention period] after your last contact with us. If you start the form and never finish, we clear what you gave within 7 days. We keep the dated record of your consents for the same period again, as proof of what you agreed to.
Your rights
You have the right to be informed, to see your data, to correct it, to object, to withdraw consent, to have it erased or blocked, to receive a copy, and to claim damages. You can also complain to the National Privacy Commission at privacy.gov.ph.
To use any of these rights, including to withdraw consent or have your data deleted, email [email protected]. We’ll act within 15 days. Withdrawing is as easy as giving consent, and it doesn’t affect anything we did before you withdrew. Withdrawing consent to process your application means we can’t continue with it.
Cookies and similar storage
- Meta Pixel: a cookie used to measure our ads. It’s off unless you accept, and you can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer.
- Your browser’s own storage: we keep your cookie choice, and the campaign details above, in your browser. When you register, we also keep a sign-in record there. These are never sent to advertisers.
- Cloudflare Turnstile and Calendly may set cookies of their own to do their jobs when you reach the form or the booking step. They’re needed for those steps to work, so they aren’t covered by the cookie choice above.
Changes
If this notice changes, we’ll post the new version here with a new version number. If a change affects what you agreed to, we’ll ask you again.
