Frequently Asked Questions

What is Smile Technology?

We aggregate and unlock previously siloed employment and income data coming from HR, payroll, commerce, and marketplace platforms through a single API. Our mission is to give workers in Asia greater access to financial services by facilitating the easy sharing of their employment and income data to businesses and financial services. We do this by providing user-authorized access to this data by acting as a gateway or intermediary between custodians of this data and those interested in consuming the data, such as banks and other financial service institutions.

How are you protecting the candidate's privacy?

Smile believes in the sanctity of one's privacy and that our users are the owners of their personal data, and should always be in full control when and to whom they share their data. Smile seeks to comply with all local laws around data privacy. In the Philippines, we comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and we help users exercise their right to Data Portability under Section 18 of the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

Why is Smile providing this report?

We seek to give back data control and ownership of your own data to you! This includes your:

  • Identity information
  • Employment history
  • Income data
  • And other relevant information

We believe that by letting you take back control over your own data, you can get access to better opportunities. And by allowing you to share your data more easily, you can get access to better services and experiences.

Are you going to keep the candidate's data?

We will not be keeping their data. Smile follows strict data privacy and security measures, and rest assured that every background check conducted is authorized by the candidate/employee. The data collected will only be reported to you, the employer/recruiter, and will not be shared with any third parties.

Why do candidates/employees need to connect their accounts?

Instead of uploading paperworks to verify employment history, candidates connecting their account allows for faster and more accurate background checks, simplifying the job application process and reducing the risk of errors or discrepancies in their information. It's an important step towards making the process easier and more efficient for everyone involved.
