Information We Collect

When you use our digital banking security platform, we collect several types of information to provide you with secure financial services. This includes personal details you provide during account registration, transaction data from your banking activities, and technical information about how you interact with our systems.

We gather information directly from you when you create accounts, make transactions, or contact our support team. Additionally, we automatically collect certain technical data like IP addresses, device information, and usage patterns to maintain security and improve our services. We also receive information from third-party verification services when conducting identity checks required by Australian financial regulations.

How We Use Your Information

Your personal information serves multiple purposes within our digital banking platform. We use it to verify your identity, process financial transactions, detect fraudulent activities, and comply with Australian banking regulations including anti-money laundering requirements.

• Processing and securing financial transactions
• Verifying identity and preventing fraud
• Providing customer support and account management
• Complying with regulatory reporting requirements
• Improving our security measures and platform functionality
• Sending important account notifications and security alerts

We analyse usage patterns to enhance security features and user experience, but this analysis focuses on improving services rather than marketing purposes. Your financial data helps us identify unusual activity patterns that might indicate security threats or unauthorized access attempts.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We maintain strict controls over data sharing and only work with trusted partners who meet our security standards. Information sharing occurs primarily for transaction processing, regulatory compliance, and fraud prevention purposes.

Our primary data sharing relationships include payment processors for transaction handling, credit reporting agencies for identity verification, and regulatory bodies when required by law. We never sell your personal information to marketers or advertisers, and we don't share data for promotional purposes without explicit consent.

Third-party service providers who handle your data must sign comprehensive data protection agreements and demonstrate compliance with Australian privacy laws. These partners include cloud storage providers, security monitoring services, and customer support platforms – all carefully vetted for security and privacy practices.

Your Rights and Control

Australian privacy law grants you significant control over your personal information. You have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data, subject to certain legal and regulatory requirements that apply to financial services.

You can request copies of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or request deletion of data that's no longer needed. However, some information must be retained for regulatory compliance periods, typically seven years for financial records under Australian law.

To exercise these rights, contact our privacy team using the details provided below. We'll respond within 30 days and may need to verify your identity before processing requests. Some complex requests might take longer, but we'll keep you informed throughout the process.

Data Security and Protection

We implement multiple layers of security to protect your information, including encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring. All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols.

Our security measures include regular penetration testing, employee security training, and compliance with ISO 27001 standards. We maintain 24/7 security monitoring and have incident response procedures to quickly address any potential breaches.

Physical security controls protect our data centers, while logical controls limit system access to authorized personnel only. We regularly update our security practices to address emerging threats and maintain compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.

Data Retention and International Transfers

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for providing services and meeting legal obligations. Transaction records are kept for seven years as required by Australian financial regulations, while other data may be deleted sooner when no longer needed.

Some of your data may be stored or processed outside Australia by our cloud service providers. We ensure these transfers comply with Australian Privacy Principles and that overseas recipients provide adequate data protection. Currently, some data is processed in secure facilities in Singapore and the United States, both covered by appropriate safeguards.

When we transfer data internationally, we use contractual protections, adequacy decisions, or other approved mechanisms to ensure your information receives protection equivalent to Australian privacy laws.
