We may disclose your Personal Information to recipients located outside Australia, including our Related Bodies Corporate located in New Zealand, Singapore, United Kingdom, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, and third-party service providers located globally, where it is deemed reasonably necessary for us to make such disclosure. Where we disclose Personal Information to overseas parties, we will ensure that the overseas recipient complies with the APP guidelines when dealing with the Personal Information, and we put safeguards in place to ensure your Personal Information remains protected.

When we disclose Personal Information overseas, we take measures to ensure your information is treated in accordance with at least the standards that apply in the country whose privacy or data protection laws apply to that Personal Information (other than when compelled to make disclosure under local laws).

For individuals in the European Union or the United Kingdom, this means that your data may be transferred outside of the European Union or the United Kingdom. For further information on our transfer mechanisms, please see our KeyPay EU/UK Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.

11. Do we use your Personal Information for Direct Marketing? 

We may use Personal Information for direct marketing reasons by sending you news or information about our Services that you either request from us, or we believe may interest you. These communications may be sent in various forms, including mail, social media, SMS, or email.

Where you have subscribed to our Superannuation services, we may use your Personal information to directly market the products and services of your superannuation fund which we believe may be of interest to you.

Personal information collected for marketing purposes may be communicated to a third party where you have consented to the Personal Information being provided to the third party (for example by agreeing to provide information for directed marketing, including but not limited to, discounts, offers and promotions).

You can opt out of receiving our direct marketing communications at anytime by using any of our unsubscribe or opt-out mechanisms provided within our method of communication to you, or by contacting us via email at [email protected].

12. Storage & Security of Personal Information

Personal information held by us will be stored and managed by our third-party suppliers who store data on secure data centres. Further details on our third-party storage provider’s location and security can be found here.

While we take all reasonable steps to ensure the security of our system, we cannot provide any guarantee regarding security of the Personal Information and other data transmitted to the Services and we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access of your Personal Information.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your Personal Information when you enter, submit, or access your Personal Information.

We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted using the latest 256-bitSecureSocket Layer (SSL) encryption technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those authorised with special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential. 256-bit SSL encryption is approximated to take at least one trillion years to break and is the industry standard.

Processing of payments occurs using third party payment gateways and as such, your credit card information is never stored on our servers.

You can also play an important role in keeping your Personal Information secure, by maintaining the confidentiality of any password and accounts used on the Services. Please notify us immediately if there is any unauthorised use of your account by any other user, or any other breach of security relating to your account via email at [email protected].

We will endeavour at all times to maintain an accurate record of your Personal information. To assist us in keeping our records up to date, you should ensure all Personal Information provided to us is accurate and up to date, and to notify us of changes where appropriate.

You have the right to access the Personal Information which we hold about you and for corrections to be made to this information.

As soon as practicable after your request, we will take reasonable steps to delete your information from our systems and will provide your request to any relevant sub-processors.

If you are an employee whose Personal Information has been uploaded to the KeyPay Platform by your employer, you may need to ask your employer to delete the Personal Information from the KeyPay Platform. Your employer will then request us to delete it from our systems.

Our security procedures mean that we may request proof of identity before we reveal Personal Information. This proof of identity will take the form of your email address and password submitted upon registration. We also implement two-factor authentication processes to better protect your privacy. You must therefore keep this information safe as you will be responsible for any action which we take in response to a request from someone using your email and password.

18. Retention

The length of time we keep your Personal Information depends on what it is and whether we have an ongoing business need to retain it (for example, to provide you with a service you’ve requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

We’ll retain your Personal Information for as long as we have a relationship with you and for a period of time afterwards where we have an ongoing business need to retain it, in accordance with our data retention policies and practices. Following that period, we’ll make sure it’s deleted or anonymised.
