We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.

Important Information About Platform Permissions 

Most mobile platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your consent. And these platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the PADYAK.COM.PH app wants permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the PADYAK.COM.PH app seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the app constitutes your consent. To learn about the platform-level permissions that the app seeks, please visit our new iOS Permissions page and Android Permissions page. Sometimes these permissions require more explanation than the platforms themselves provide, and the permissions we request will change over time, so we’ve created these pages to serve as authoritative and up-to-date resources for our users. 

Information We Collect From Other Sources 

We may also receive information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through our Services. For example: 

  • If you choose to link, create, or log in to your PADYAK.COM.PH account with a payment provider (e.g., PayMaya, PayPal, Google Wallet) or social media service (e.g., Facebook), or if you engage with a separate app or website that uses our API (or whose API we use), we may receive information about you or your connections from that site or app. 
  • When you request on demand services, our Couriers may provide us with a User rating after providing services to you.
