WHO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM

We collect personal information from users of our platform and their customers.

  • contact information, such as name, address, phone, email and other similar information;
  • financial information, such as full bank account numbers and/or credit card numbers;
  • detailed personal information such as dates of birth.
• We assume that you have consent to provide the personal information of your customers to us.

  • publicly available sources of information; or
  • any other organisation identified below (see ‘Disclosing personal information’ below).

• We may collect information about your use and interaction with our platform.

HOW WE PROTECT AND STORE PERSONAL INFORMATION

• We use the term “personal information” to describe information about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can be reasonably be ascertained, from the information. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been de-identified or made anonymous so that it does not identify a specific individual.
• We store and process personal information securely on our platform.
• We protect personal information using physical, technical, and administrative security measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure and alteration. Some of the safeguards we use are firewalls and data encryption, physical access controls to our data centres, and information access authorisation controls.

HOW WE USE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

• Our key purpose in collecting personal information is to provide our services. We may use personal information to:
  • provide the services on our platform, website and customer support;
  • resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
  • prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce any relevant agreements;
  • customise, measure, and improve the content, layout, and operation of the platform and our website;
  • deliver targeted marketing, service update notices, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles;
  • compare information for accuracy and verify it with third parties
• Where personal information is disclosed we will seek to ensure that the information is held, used or disclosed consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles and other applicable privacy laws and codes.
• As we operate throughout the world, some of these uses and disclosures may occur outside your State or Territory and/or outside Australia. In some circumstances we may need to obtain your consent or the consent of your customers before this occurs.

CONSEQUENCES OF NOT PROVIDING PERSONAL INFORMATION

UNSOLICITED PERSONAL INFORMATION

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that all unsolicited information is destroyed or de-identified immediately unless it is necessary for one or more of our functions or if it would be unlawful for us to destroy it.
