PRIVACY POLICY

At Coverpay Pty Ltd, we are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

It also deals with how you can complain about a breach of the privacy laws, access the personal information we hold about you and have that information corrected (where necessary).

What personal information do we collect and hold?

When we provide instalment payment services to you, we ask you for the information we need to assess your suitability for our products and services. We collect your information through our website and other forms of communication with you. This can include a broad range of information from your name, address (including your geolocation), phone number, email, contact details and age to information about your personal affairs including financial information.

We may also collect your information from third parties such as our Merchants and related companies, credit reporting bodies, identity verification services, and publicly or commercially available sources for the purposes of complying with any relevant legislation.

How do we store and protect your personal information?

We strive to maintain the relevance, accuracy and completeness and currency of the personal information we hold and to protect its privacy and security. We keep personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with any applicable legal reporting or document retention requirements.

We hold the information we collect from you in physical and electronic records, which may be stored at our premises or those of our service providers, or in a secure data centre or in the cloud. We strive to ensure that the personal information is safe by using a range of physical and electronic security measures.

How can you check, update or change the information we are holding?

You may ask us for access to your personal information and to correct it at any time. Upon receipt of enough information to allow us to identify the information, we will tell you what personal information we hold about you.
