Hungr-E takes serious care of the trust you place in us. Hunger-E, through our Service Provider, implements physical, technical, and administrative measures to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of your information, to maintain data accuracy, to ensure the appropriate use of information, and otherwise safeguard your Personal Information, such as:

    1. Database Security. Customer data is stored in a dedicated database. Data access control rules implement complete isolation between customer databases and no access is possible from one database to another,

    2. Password Security. Customer passwords are protected with industry standard encryption.

    3. Security Security. The Cloud servers that We use are running hardened Linux distributions with up-to-date security patches. Installations are ad-hoc and minimal to limit the number of services that could contain vulnerabilities. Access is limited to essential personnels and is only possible using an encrypted personal SSH keypair, from a computer with full-disk encryption.

    4. Physical security. The Cloud servers are hosted in trusted data centers which can only be accessed by data center employees only and with security badges or biometrical security and security personnel on site 24/7.

    5. Credit Card Safety. The Service Provider of Hungr-E does not store credit card information in their systems.

Limiting access to essential personnel. We limit access to Personal Information to authorized personnel, based on job function and role.

Incident Management. We maintain a formal incident management program designed to ensure the secure, continuous delivery of its Services, and complies with the data breach reporting standards required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173). Hungr-E has also implemented an incident management program using industry best practices.

Managing third party service providers. Hungr-E requires service providers to implement and maintain accepted industry standard administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect Personal Information.

Your Responsibility. Please recognize that protecting your Personal Information is also your responsibility. We ask you to be responsible for safeguarding your password and other authentication information you use to access our Services. You should not disclose your authentication information to any third party and should immediately notify Hungr-E of any unauthorized use of your password. Hungr-E cannot secure Personal Information that you release on your own or that you request us to release.

Your information collected through the Service may be stored and processed in the Philippines, or any other country in which Hungr-E or its partners, contractors subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities and, therefore, your information may be subject to the laws of those other jurisdictions which may be different from the laws of your country of residence.

We store your Personal Information in a dedicated database provided by our service provider that uses reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access. The security measures are provided in the preceding section of this Policy. 

Our relationship with you. We are the “controller” with respect to your Personal Information because we determine the means and purposes of processing your information when using our Services.

Legal bases for processing Personal Information from the Philippines. We describe how we process your Personal Information in this Privacy Policy. We may process your Personal Information if you consent to the processing, to satisfy our legal obligations, if it is necessary to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts we entered with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you, or for our legitimate interests to protect our property, rights or safety of Hungr-E, our customers or others

Direct Marketing. We will obtain your consent where required to send you marketing communications using electronic means. You may withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us through our contact information and Customer Care. We will only contact you by electronic means (email, push notification, SMS, etc.) with information about our Services that are similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale or negotiations of a sale to you.

We will only share your Personal Information with third parties for marketing purposes with your explicit consent. If you do not want us to use your Personal Information in this way, please contact us through Customer Care. You may raise such objection with regard to initial or further processing for purposes of direct marketing at any time. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Other marketing activities will happen based on the legitimate interests of Hungr-E. E.g., where we tailor marketing communications or send targeted marketing messages via post, phone or social media and other third party platforms; and in providing existing customers with information (via email or other channels) about similar products and services.

Privacy Rights. You can exercise your privacy rights by following the instructions. We will handle your request under applicable law. When you make a request, we may verify your identity to protect your privacy and security.

    1. Right to withdraw consent. To the extent Hungr-E requests and you provide your consent to the processing of your Personal Information, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Your withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of our processing based on consent before your withdrawal.

    2. Right of access to and rectification of your Personal Information. Our site allows you to access and rectify certain Registration Information within your Account Settings. If you would like to access or rectify any other information, contact Customer Care and we will do our best to assist you without undue delay. We may reject part or all of your request if responding to your request could adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    3. Right to erasure (or, “Right to be Forgotten”). As explained under our provisions on Account Deletion, we allow our customers to delete their accounts at any time. You can request erasure of Personal Information that: (a) is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; (b) was collected in relation to processing to which you previously consented, but later withdrew such consent; or (c) was collected in relation to processing activities to which you object, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for our processing. If we have made your Personal Information public and we are required to erase such Personal Information, we will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers that are processing any links to or copies or replications of your Personal Information of your erasure request. Our assistance with your request for erasure is subject to limitations by relevant data protection laws, available technology and the cost of implementation.

    4. Right to Data Portability. If we process your Personal Information based on a contract with you or based on your consent, or the processing is carried out by automated means, you may request to receive your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have us transfer your Personal Information directly to another controller, where technically feasible, unless exercise of this right adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others. A “controller” is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of your Personal Information.

    5. Right to restriction of our processing. You can restrict our processing of your Personal Information where one of the following applies: (a) you dispute the accuracy of Personal Information processed by Hungr-E (for a period enabling us to verify its accuracy); (b) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the Personal Information and request the restriction of its use instead; (c) Hunger-E no longer needs the Personal Information for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; and (d) you have objected to certain processing relying on legitimate interest, pending the verification whether Hungr-E’s legitimate grounds override your rights. Restricted Personal Information shall only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. We will notify you if the restriction is lifted.

    6. Notification of erasure, rectification and restriction. We will provide notice to each recipient that we disclosed your Personal Information to regarding any rectification or erasure of Personal Information or restriction of processing, unless you initiated the disclosure, we have previously made a statement that we will not provide prior notice, or providing notice proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Upon your request, we will share the list of recipients with you.

    7. Right to object to processing. Where the processing of your Personal Information is based on consent, contract, or legitimate interests described under the Legal Bases for Processing heading above, you may restrict or object, at any time, to the processing of your Personal Information as permitted by applicable law. We may continue to process your Personal Information if it is necessary for the defense of legal claims, or for any other exceptions permitted by applicable law.

    8. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, except as allowed under applicable data protection laws.

    9. Retention of your Personal Information. Unless you make a request for us to delete your account or delete certain Personal Information (i.e., User Content, etc.), or unless we have indicated otherwise, or you have previously agreed to a different data retention period, we will store your Personal Information as long as your account is open. If you request to delete your account, we will take the steps described under “Your Choices – Account Deletion” and delete all your Personal Information, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.


The rights described above may be limited by local laws depending on the applicable jurisdiction. Further, your right of access and deletion is not absolute and may not be available if fulfillment of such right would, among other things:

    • cause interference with execution and enforcement of the law and legal private rights (such as in the case of the investigation or detection of legal claims or the right to a fair trial);

    • breach or prejudice the rights of confidentiality and security of others;

    • prejudice security or grievance investigations, corporate reorganizations, future and ongoing negotiations with third parties, the compliance with regulatory requirements relating to economic and financial management; or

    •  otherwise violate the interests of others or where the burden or cost of providing access would be disproportionate.
