The information collected will be used only for the following purposes:

1. To verify resident identity and eligibility for barangay services.
2. To process barangay document requests, certificates, clearances, blotter-related records, and other e-services.
3. To provide updates, notifications, and announcements related to barangay services.
4. To maintain accurate transaction, payment, and request records.
