There are two sections to our privacy statement, the
Plain English section, and the
Details section.
The Details section is an edited version of the Model
Privacy Statement available online at TRUSTe's web site.
Our Privacy Statement in Plain English
We don't want any information about you that you don't
want us to have. If you have performed a payment transaction
with one of our clients, some information about you
(email address, contact numbers, etc.) is necessary
in order to do things like complete your transaction,
but you would have to voluntarily give that information
to us in order for us to have it. If we have information
about you, we don't sell, rent, or share it.
If you have any questions about our privacy statement,
please email enquiries@govpay.com.au.
