Third-party Data
We may also collect personal data about you from third-parties such as, but not limited to
background checking providers and/or previous employer/s for background and/or reference
checks purposes only. We will seek information from third parties before or after a job offer to

consent.

during the recruitment process, TP can validly refuse to proceed with your job application and
you will no longer be considered for employment with TP.

that we process your personal data to determine whether an employment contract may be
extended to you.
We process your personal data to comply with our legal obligations. For instance, we may use
the data to ensure that we comply with labor laws, nationality restrictions and limitations,
verifying your eligibility to work in the Philippines, the establishment and defense of legal claims
as may be required in court proceedings, and other legal obligations.
