5. Cookie Management and Similar Technologies

Our platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage to enhance your browsing experience and collect information about how you use our services. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how users interact with our platform.

We use several types of cookies on our platform. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the functioning of our website and cannot be disabled without affecting how the site operates. Functional cookies allow us to remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalised experience. Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our platform, which pages are most visited, and where any errors occur. Marketing cookies are used to deliver relevant advertising content and to track the effectiveness of our campaigns. These may be placed by us or by trusted third-party advertising partners.

You have the right to manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent tool available on the platform, or through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of our platform. Our use of cookies is conducted in compliance with applicable laws and, where required, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device, in accordance with GDPR requirements.

6. Data Retention Period

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period applicable to your data will depend on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is processed.

As a general principle, we retain account information and transactional records for a minimum of five years following the closure of your account or the last transaction, in order to comply with our obligations under anti-money laundering legislation, financial regulations applicable to our Curacao licence (8048/JAZ), and any applicable Australian regulatory requirements. Where we process your data based on your consent, we will retain it until you withdraw your consent or until it is no longer necessary for the relevant purpose. Marketing data is retained until you opt out or withdraw your consent. In some circumstances, we may be required by law to retain data for longer periods, and we will do so where such obligations exist. At the end of the applicable retention period, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data destruction procedures and the standards set out under GDPR.

7. User Rights Over Their Data

We respect your rights as a data subject and are committed to facilitating the exercise of those rights in a timely and transparent manner. In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Australian privacy law principles, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is being processed.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you without undue delay.
• Right to Erasure: Also known as the right to be forgotten, you may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where you object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for continuing.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where such processing is based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is carried out by automated means and based on consent or a contract, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our data protection team using the contact information provided in Section 10 of this Privacy Policy. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law, typically within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure the security of your personal information.

8. International Data Transfers

As a platform operating internationally and licensed in Curacao under license 8048/JAZ, we may transfer your personal data to countries outside of Australia or the European Economic Area (EEA). These transfers may occur when we share data with our service providers, technology partners, or other entities involved in delivering our services, who may be located in various jurisdictions around the world.

Whenever we transfer your personal data internationally, we take all reasonably necessary steps to ensure that it is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. Where transfers occur to countries that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection under GDPR, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms. We also ensure that any third party receiving your data is bound by obligations that provide an equivalent level of protection to that required under GDPR and comparable Australian privacy standards. If you would like further information about the specific safeguards in place for international data transfers, please contact us using the details in Section 10.
