1. SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY


1.1. We understand that when accessing our Services, the privacy and confidentiality of Personal Information (as defined under the Privacy Act) is important to you and (where applicable) your customers. That’s why we fully respect your rights to privacy and are committed to protecting the personal and financial details you provide us in line with this Privacy Policy.

The type of information we may collect includes:

  • Personal Information — We may collect personal details such as an individual’s name, gender, location, date of birth and nationality allowing us to identify who the individual is;

  • Location Information — We may collect your location data from devices used by you to access the Platforms in order to provide the Services to you, including IP addresses;

  • Usage Information — We may collect data in respect of devices used by you and your use of third party services in connection with the Platforms (e.g. data in connection with service providers with whom you use two-factor authentication);

3. PASSWORDS AND ACCESS CODES


The provision of the Services to you may include the collection, storage and transmission of passwords and access codes on your behalf.

The data that you keep in your secure storage (including passwords, two factor codes and card numbers) is encrypted and decrypted on your device. If we need to transmit your encrypted storage data (such as between devices, or to our cloud), we encrypt your data a second time locally on your device before transmission, to further ensure that your data remains as safe as possible. We then further encrypt data when stored in our cloud.
