    9. QualifAI

      QualifAI is a single-online platform that allows talent acquisition specialists from companies, organizations, and/or talent acquisition agencies to swiftly, efficiently, and cost-effectively invite, screen and assess job applicants.

      Using QualifAI, talent acquisition specialists (Specialist) can view how job applicants match their desired work, experience, training, and skills requirements through the platform’s Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)-generated scoring and chat assessment features. They can also automatically generate profile summaries for each candidate for further evaluation and documentation. Please note, however, that the platform’s A.I. model does not independently decide whether or not an applicant will be hired or considered for employment. It simply automates the initial assessment of candidates by offering Specialist, a preliminary ranking of applicants based on how well they match the latter’s requirements. Decisions significantly and legally impacting the applicant remain the Specialist’s prerogative.

      We collect and process applicant Personal Data uploaded to our platform through job posting links provided by Specialist. The links below will help you understand exactly what we are collecting, why, and what criteria under the law, apart from consent, we rely on before we do.

      1. Applicant’s Personal Data

        We collect and process the full name, contact information, skills/expertise, work experience, and educational background of job applicants when they respond to aposting using QualifAI and upload their curriculum vitae.

        1. To allow the Specialist to communicate with you in relation to your application and to update you of its status;
        2. To serve as a database for subscribed Specialist to whom you submitted your application;
        3. To make a preliminary evaluation of your qualifications and to provide the Specialist with matching score/percentage in relation to the latter’s job requirements;
        4. To generate a profile summary for the Specialist’s further assessment and consideration;
        5. To generate statistics and aggregated data to provide the Specialist’s dashboard useful information regarding trends, developments, and correlations in the area of employment, especially within their industry;
        6. To further develop and improve the matching accuracy and precision of our AI model; and
        7. To send communications from QualifAI regarding commercial and promotional alerts, advertisements, and surveys.
      2. Talent Acquisition Specialist’s Personal Data

        We also collect and process the name, contact information, company/firm, role/position and billing/payment information of Specialist who create an account through our website and/or mobile App and subscribe to any of service plans. We do so for the following purposes:

    10. EVRO

      EVRO is a mobile Electric Vehicle (EV) charging management platform that allows EV owners, through its mobile application, to search for nearby charging sites operated by Charge Point Operators (CPO). Through the mobile application, EV owners can reserve, schedule, and pay for charging sessions in these sites. In turn, EVRO allows CPO’s to remotely configure, monitor, manage, and secure their charging sites.

      We collect and process your Personal Data through EVRO’s mobile application when you create an account and pay for charging sessions. The links below will help you understand exactly what we are collecting, why, and what criteria under the law, apart from consent, we rely on before we do.

      1. User Information

        We generally collect and process the full name, email address, vehicle profile and corresponding plate number of customers through the EVRO mobile app for the following purposes:

        1. To create the customer’s mobile account, which will be used to match the user with the relevant CPO for compatible charging station services;
        2. To track and monitor user activities on the EVRO mobile application for purposes of security, the enforcement of service terms and conditions, and service delivery, improvement, and development;
        3. To obtain insights to help improve our products, services, and the end-user experience;
        4. To provide and communicate to you the services you availed of, including service care, and support; and
        5. To send communications from EVRO regarding commercial and promotional alerts, advertisements, and surveys.
      2. Financial Account Information

        All credit/debit card and GCash transactions on the EVRO mobile application are processed via the Xendit payment gateway. No financial information is collected and stored by EVRO.

      3. Service Usage Information

        When you use our services, we collect and process information such as your rate of use, and IP address for the following purposes:

        1. To design and create new products and services based on end-user behavior and preferences;
        2. To determine whether you’ve reached or exceeded the limits of your service;
        3. To generate data needed to enhance your end-user experience, tailor content to meet your preferences and needs and to help us improve our network and quality of products and services;
        4. To maintain service quality and security and to provide after-sales care and support;
        5. To find out what sorts of commercial and promotional alerts, personalized advertisements, and surveys we can share with you.
      4. Reports and Other Data Generation

        The EVRO platform also allows CPO’s to generate meaningful data/reports regarding Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) usage, charging station revenue and transactions, hardware and asset management. We collect user plate numbers to ensure that data generated from EVSE usage remains accurate even where several users register the same vehicle details, including onboard vehicle count and charging frequency. While EVRO generates this information from user and charging station activities on the platform, the data/reports provided to CPOs and other parties only comprise aggregated statistical information related to station usage and network performance. These do not contain any of your personal data.

      5. Trackers

        EVRO tracks all interactions a user performs within the mobile application. This data is used by EVRO to better improve user experience and to support marketing efforts.

        For more information, please see our Tracker Policy.
