VLDTR · UPLIFT Butuan
This Privacy Policy explains how VLDTR (“the App”) processes personal data during UPLIFT payout validation in Butuan City. The App is an internal field tool for authorized validators of DSWD Field Office Caraga. It is not a public beneficiary portal.
1. Data we process
The App may store and display:
- Validator account data: username, hashed PIN, role, and account timestamps.
- Beneficiary list data imported from official .xlsx master lists, which may include names, birthdates, addresses, barangay, household or person identifiers, venue, and related program fields.
- Validation records: status, optional notes, validator name, and time of action.
2. Purpose
Data is used only to identify listed beneficiaries during validation, record who was validated, and produce operational exports for authorized staff. It is not used for marketing.
3. Legal basis
Processing is for a legitimate public function in social welfare operations and is intended to comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and DSWD data-privacy rules. Validators must treat all beneficiary information as confidential.
4. Storage and sharing
Data is stored on the server that hosts this App (including a local database and uploaded spreadsheets) and may be cached on a validator’s device for offline search. It is not sold. It may be shared only with authorized DSWD personnel or as required by law.
5. Retention
Beneficiary and validation records remain until authorized staff remove or replace hosting data. Deleting a validator account removes that sign-in only; it does not erase beneficiary lists or validation history.
6. Your rights
Validators may review and update their username and PIN, or delete their account, under Menu → Account. Beneficiaries who wish to exercise privacy rights over program records should contact DSWD Field Office Caraga through official channels, not through this App.
7. Contact
For privacy concerns about this tool, contact the DSWD FO Caraga data-privacy or UPLIFT operations officer responsible for Butuan payouts.
