6 Data Security

smtaya applies technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include SSL encryption for all data in transit, access controls that restrict internal access to personal data to authorised personnel only, and regular security reviews of platform systems.

OTP-based verification is used for account access and sensitive actions. smtaya will never ask you to share your password through email, chat, or any other channel. If you receive a message claiming to be from smtaya that asks for your login credentials, please report it to our support team immediately.

No online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential. Use a strong, unique password for your smtaya account and do not share it with anyone.

7 Data Retention

smtaya retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, or for as long as required by applicable legal obligations. Financial transaction records may be retained for a longer period to satisfy anti-money laundering requirements under Philippine law.

When personal data is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected and no legal retention requirement applies, smtaya will securely delete or anonymise it.
