Your privacy is very important to us. This privacy policy discloses how Smartpay Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (“Smartpay”, “we” or “us) will collect, use and share personal information about you. Smartpay recognizes the need for appropriate protections and management of the personal information you provide us.
This Privacy Policy is designed to both inform you of your rights in respect to the collection and storage of personal information, and to help us ensure that we comply with applicable law in the countries in which we operate.
Personal information is information or an opinion about you or which is reasonably identifiable as you, whether or not the information or opinion is true and whether or not the information is recorded in a material form. When you register for services that we may offer, place an order, meet us face-to-face meeting, correspond with us online, via mobile applications, mail, email or telephone, subscribe to our newsletter, or fill out any forms provided to us you provide us with, and we may collect, the following personal information (without limitation):
In addition to the above, if you conduct a business or financial transaction with Smartpay, or through a merchant using a system that is managed by Smartpay, we will collect payment and transaction data (including the cardholder’s name, amount, frequency, type, location, origin and recipients) from you at the time we process those transactions, as required in order to allow the transaction to be completed (“Cardholder Data”).

Applicants applying for a job or position with us: we may collect certain information from you (including your name, contact details, working history and relevant records checks) from any recruitment consultant, your previous employers and others who may be able to provide information to us to assist in our decision whether or not to make you an offer of employment or engage you under a contract. This Privacy Policy does not apply to acts and practices in relation to employee records of our current and former employees, which are exempt from privacy laws.
In some cases, we collect personal information from third parties including public sources, our related companies and our service providers (including credit agencies).
Any of the personal information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:
To undertake customer due diligence to ensure we comply with our obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009, including:
We do not sell personal information to third parties. Except as set out below, your personal information will not be exchanged, transferred, or given to third parties for any reason without your consent.
We may share your personal information with third parties in the following circumstances:
We implement a variety of security measures to safeguard against loss, access, use, modification or disclosure of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information.

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading.
Smartpay’s business is operated in and from New Zealand and Australia. Accordingly, information is, in the first instance, processed in New Zealand and/or Australia.
We may store your information in the cloud or on other types of electronic storage systems. All electronic storage system premises are located in Australia or New Zealand. Smartpay ensures any cloud provider used is certified for security of the cloud in compliance with all the laws and regulations. Note that cloud agents are not to disclose information that Smartpay stores on their services except as legally required.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that all personal information that we collect is kept secure in accordance with industry standard physical, electronic and managerial procedures.

We also cannot guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet. Accordingly, any personal information which is transmitted to us is transmitted at your own risk.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”) includes a number of security requirements relating to cardholder data. Smartpay does not collect full card number/data information, only partial for fraud tracking purposes only, so Smartpay does not have to be PCi DSS compliant.\/s
