SecureCo collects and uses Personal Information to administer, support, improve and obtain feedback on SecureCo’s services, and also to detect and prevent faults, breaches of network security, the law or contract terms. SecureCo may also use all this information to assess what SecureCo products and services may be of interest to individuals and to personalise SecureCo’s service and marketing.

SecureCo only processes Personal Information in Australia. However, in the course of, and for the purpose of, providing its services, SecureCo may, at its customer’s direction, send Cardholder Data to service providers appointed by the customer (Customer Service Providers), such as payment gateways, whose products and services integrate with SecureCo’s services to process payment transactions. These service providers may be located outside Australia. It is the responsibility of SecureCo’s customers to comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) in relation to the transfer of Personal Information by SecureCo to Customer Service Providers.
If an individual subscribes for a service on behalf of their employer, then SecureCo may pass certain information to their employer about their use of the service where their employer has a legitimate reason to receive it. Similarly, if an individual is the main contact person in an organisation using a SecureCo service, SecureCo may pass their contact details to those in the employer organisation for this purpose.
If an individual is registered to use a service, SecureCo may contact the individual to obtain feedback on that service and any improvements SecureCo could make to it. If an individual has agreed to such contact, SecureCo may contact them about those of its other services to which they do not subscribe but which may interest them. Sometimes SecureCo may invite individuals to client entertainment and similar events.
Individuals have the right to ask SecureCo at any time not to contact them for marketing purposes by emailing compliance@secureco.co. These preferences will be recorded by the Risk and Compliance team.

Information storage and security
SecureCo may store Personal information in physical and/or electronic form. Any paperwork retained bySecureCo is stored onsite at SecureCo offices in a secure location. Electronic information may be stored on databases in a secure location, which are located in Australia.

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although SecureCo does our best to protect personal data, SecureCo cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our website, so any transmission via the website is at an individual’s own risk.

In the event of loss of Personal Information, SecureCo will take steps to identify, secure and assess the breach and work with our customers to comply with any legal notification requirements.
