Privacy Statement

In this Privacy Statement, we explain how we collect, use and protect your information.

What information do we collect?

The types of information we collect depends on you use the Service as well as the relationship we have with our Participating Retailers through the Swappay Program.

This can include straightforward information like your name, date of birth, contact details (including address, email address, phone number or mobile telephone number), username or password.

We may also collect more in-depth information including:

Financial information related to your financial relationship such as history of use of Coins, payment history and your service history.
Information about how you use our services such as:
- Your Swappay Account usage including time and duration;
- How you use our services to access the internet, such as information about websites visited;
- Your location or the location of your devices when you are using the Service;
- Information that allows us to identify you for verification purposes.

You might also need to provide personal information about other individuals to us e.g. about your authorised representative. If so, we rely on you to have informed those individuals that you are giving their personal information to us and have advised them about this statement.

It is important to be aware that if you access another party’s website or application using the Service, that other party will deal with your personal information in accordance with its own privacy policy.

How do we collect your information?

There are three ways that we can collect your information:

You give it to us when you or your representative interacts with either of us or a Participating Retailer. This might happen when you are setting up a Swappay Account or using the Service.
We collect information including when you use our website, the Service, and a Swappay Account. For example, we may use network tools to collect your account records or use cookies or other technologies to identify you.
We obtain information from outside sources like marketing mail lists, and public information (including public posts to social networking sites) and commercially available personal, identity, geographic and demographic information. This can include information gained from our Participating Retailers if you have interacted with them.

We understand that you might not want to give us particular personal information. If so, that may mean we are not able to provide you with the Service.

How do we keep your information?

We may store your information in hard copy or electronic format, and keep it in storage facilities that we own and operate ourselves, or that are owned and operated by our service providers.

We endeavour to ensure that personal information is kept as current as possible and that irrelevant or excessive data is deleted or made anonymous as soon as reasonably practicable. However, some personal information may be retained for varying time periods in order to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for other legitimate business reasons.

How do we use our information?

We will only use your information if we have a lawful reason to do so such as when it’s our legal duty or we have your consent and when it’s in our legitimate interest to do so. These include:

Improvement – we are constantly working to not only maintain and improve the Service but to develop new ones. We use information we hold to help us do this in a number of ways.
Development and analysis – it’s important we understand your information and communication needs. One of the ways we do this is through analysis and business intelligence techniques. This gives use high level insights into things like usage patterns, demographic trends and other types of behavioural data. In many cases this information is aggregated and de-identified when analysed. In some cases, we may create insights with your information on an identified basis but would only do so in compliance with privacy laws (such as, with your consent).
Please rest assured – we will not sell your personal information or any data related to the use of Coins to any other party

In some cases this marketing activity can continue after you have stopped using the Service, unless you opt-out.
