1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Contact and identifying information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, company name, and job title;
• Inquiry and application details submitted through forms, such as your business needs, preferred working hours, budget, experience, skills, or availability;
• Scheduling information when you book a discovery call, including the date, time, and any details you provide during booking;
• Communications you send us by email, form, or other channels;
• Website usage information collected automatically, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and general location, typically gathered through cookies or similar technologies; and
• Payment-related information, if you become a paying client, which is generally processed by a third-party payment provider rather than stored directly by us.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and evaluate potential client or EVA relationships;
• Schedule and manage discovery calls and other appointments;
• Match prospective clients with suitable EVAs based on stated needs and preferences;
• Communicate with you about our services, your application, or an ongoing engagement;
• Improve the Website, our services, and our matching process;
• Maintain records for business, accounting, and legal purposes; and
• Comply with applicable laws and enforce our Terms & Conditions.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. How We Share Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:

• Service providers who help us operate the Website and deliver our services, such as scheduling platforms, form providers, email or communication tools, and payment processors;
• EVA matching, where relevant details you provide may be shared with a prospective EVA or client as part of the matching process, to the extent necessary to evaluate a potential fit;
• Legal or safety reasons, where disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Aligned EVA, our clients, EVAs, or others; and
• Business transfers, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, where information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Third-party service providers process information according to their own privacy policies and terms, and Aligned EVA is not responsible for their independent practices.

4. Scheduling and Form Tools

We use third-party tools to power inquiry forms and call scheduling on the Website, including Tally for form submissions and Cal.com for discovery call bookings. When you complete a form or book a call, the information you submit is collected and processed by these providers on our behalf, and is also subject to their respective privacy policies.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the Website. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some parts of the Website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the nature of our relationship with you.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information submitted through the Website.

Please do not submit confidential, financial, health, password, or other highly sensitive information through general Website forms unless we specifically request it through an appropriate secure method.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal or legitimate business retention needs;
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your information; and
• Withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

9. Marketing Communications

If you submit an inquiry, application, or booking request, we may contact you regarding your submission, our services, or related opportunities. Where required by applicable law, marketing communications will only be sent with appropriate consent, and every marketing message will include a way to opt out or unsubscribe.

10. Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

11. International Users and Data Transfers

Aligned EVA serves clients and EVAs across multiple countries, including the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. If you access the Website from outside the Philippines, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the Philippines or other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your home jurisdiction.

12. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Website after updates become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
