Privacy Notice
Last updated: October 20, 2026
Pabili me handles personal information to operate Pabili Me. This notice explains what we collect, why we use it, who can see it, and how to contact us about your information. It applies to browsing, accounts, stores, orders and chat.
Pabili Me is still in development. Features and these documents may change. Development data may be reset or lost, as explained in the app’s development notice.
Information we handle
We handle account identifiers such as email and optional mobile number, password hashes, verification and session records, profile names and photos, saved addresses, store memberships and listings, orders and payment records, chat messages and attachments, reactions, reply flags, notification read records, and operational security or audit records. We do not need card or bank credentials for cash/COD orders.
Why we use it
We use information to provide accounts, discover stores, communicate, review and fulfill orders, record cash/COD transactions, manage permissions and notifications, prevent abuse, investigate problems and maintain service security. Depending on the activity, processing supports requested services or transactions, legal obligations, legitimate operational/security interests, or your consent for optional features. Optional device permissions are requested when those features are used.
Who can see it
Store addresses, store contacts and published catalog information are public. Chat messages and photos are visible to the conversation’s Suki and authorized members of that Tindahan. Its authorized chat members can also see the Suki’s name, avatar, mobile number, email and address: an active delivery address takes priority, otherwise the default saved address or oldest saved address is shown. This sharing occurs through an authorized conversation, not because you simply browse or search. Order details are limited to the owning Suki and authorized store members. Pabili me personnel may access information when needed for authorized support, security or legal obligations.
Location and external maps
Nearby discovery uses the location you choose or allow your device to provide. You may select a pin or enter a city instead. Search location is stored in your browser. Map and geocoding providers, including OpenStreetMap/Nominatim, may receive location queries or technical connection information necessary for map display or city/pin lookup. Saved street-address geocoding is disabled in the current configuration. Avoid placing personal information in location search text.
Service providers and security
We use hosting, storage, email, mapping and infrastructure providers to deliver the service. The documented AWS staging environment is in Ohio, USA, so information may be processed outside the Philippines. Providers receive information needed for their functions. We use measures such as password hashing, authorization checks, protected sessions and private photo access. No system can guarantee absolute security; report suspected misuse to support@pabili.me.
Browser storage and notifications
Cookies and browser storage support sign-in, language, theme, search location and safe retries of messages or orders. The PWA caches application assets for offline use, not private API responses or authenticated pages. Browser notifications are optional and require device permission; their availability depends on the app and connection. You can change device permissions or clear browser storage, which may also remove local preferences and unfinished retries.
Retention and deletion
We keep information for service operation, order history, security, dispute handling and applicable legal requirements, and review it when those purposes end. Removing a message hides its content from the chat; deletion markers and operational records may remain. A marker disappearing after one minute is not a promise that every database record or backup has been erased. Backups and records required for legal or security purposes may remain for a limited further period. This development environment may also reset data unexpectedly. Contact us to request account/data removal; the app does not currently provide automatic account deletion.
Your choices and rights
You can review and update profile and saved-address information in the app and choose whether to use optional features. Subject to Philippine law and applicable exceptions, you may request information about processing, access, correction, objection, erasure or blocking, and portability, and seek remedies for privacy violations. Contact support@pabili.me; we may verify your identity before acting. You may also raise a concern with the National Privacy Commission. We will update this notice when our practices change.
