PRIVACY POLICY

July 2021

 

Introduction

Cherry Hub Pty Ltd (ABN 61 642 144 992) (CHUB) is committed to protecting your privacy. We maintain robust physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal information in our care. This Privacy Policy applies to CHUB’s ‘cherrypay’ reloadable and non-reloadable payment solutions and associated applications and websites.

We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and will protect your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (as defined in the Privacy Act).

These principles govern how we collect, use, hold and disclose your personal information, as well as how we ensure the quality and security of your personal information.

 

What is personal information?

Personal information includes any information or opinion, about an identified individual or an individual who can be reasonably identified from the information. This may include, for example, your name, address, telephone number or email address.

 

How do we collect personal information?

CHUB is a distributor of ‘cherrypay’ reloadable and non-reloadable prepaid solutions involving both products and services in Australia.

CHUB’s main functions and activities in connection with its supply of ‘cherrypay’ payment solutions include:

  • Application support and development;
  • Program maintenance and reporting;
  • Account management services;
  • Cardholder and card program customer service; and
  • Fraud and transaction monitoring.

 

CHUB rarely has direct contact with the individual cardholder and we may need to collect personal information about you from other people or organisations. This may happen without your direct involvement. For instance, we may collect personal information about you from other organisations, who jointly with us, provide products or services to you.

The circumstances in which CHUB will collect personal information about you, as the holder of the prepaid solution, includes when:

  • You contact us; or
  • You register, activate or apply for a prepaid solution; or
  • You use a prepaid solution for transactions and balance enquiries.

 

What personal information do we collect?

CHUB collects a variety of personal information which depends on the nature of your interaction with us.

CHUB collects and/or tracks the following types of personal information when you use our cherrypay prepaid solution:

  • The personal information you have provided us through our online card activation process includes:
    • E-mail address
    • Your name; and
    • Mobile telephone number.
  • There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by CHUB. This information can include:
    • Your IP address;
    • Browser type
    • Domain names; and

    • Access times

  • Information we receive from third parties including the issuer of the prepaid card, credit bureaus and information services and aggregation businesses, regarding verification of identification details.

 

While you use our prepaid solution, we may collect and hold additional personal information about you. This could include transaction information or making a record of queries or a complaint you make.

 

For what purposes do we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information?

The main reason we collect, use, hold and disclose personal information is to provide you with products and services.

This includes:

  • Checking whether you are eligible for the product or service;
  • Providing the product or service; and
  • Assisting you with your inquiries or concerns.

 We may also collect, use and exchange your information so that we can:

  • Establish your identity;
  • Manage our risks and help identify and investigate illegal activity, such as fraud;
  • Contact you;
  • Comply with our legal obligations and assist government and law enforcement agencies or regulators;
  • Conduct research and training;
  • Assist our clients with the management of the cherrypay prepaid solution made available to their customers and for associated promotions; or
  • Provide general statistics regarding use of the CHUB website.

 

CHUB encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites, if any, which are linked to our website so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. CHUB is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the CHUB website.

We may aggregate and anonymise personal information (so that it cannot be used to identify you) to use in reports provided to third parties (such as venues offering the cherrypay prepaid solution to their customers) and for our own reporting for product and service development, enhancement and research.

 

Is the information disclosed to third parties?

CHUB may disclose your personal information to third parties:

  • Who are service providers or contractors of CHUB. When your personal information is shared with service providers or contractors, it will only be to the extent reasonably necessary for the purpose of the services they are contracted to provide;
  • Who offer the cherrypay prepaid solution to their customers (for hospitality, entertainment and sport membership businesses);
  • Who conduct promotions at hospitality, entertainment and sport membership businesses, which utilise our cherrypay prepaid solution;
  • To facilitate the operation of the prepaid solution and the completion and settlement of transactions using the prepaid solutions;
  • For anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, detection of crime, legal compliance and fraud prevention purposes; and
  • When required or allowed by law.

 

CHUB may also disclose personal information to other third parties in circumstances where:

  • We must fulfil our legal obligations (for example, disclosure to Australian (and international) enforcement bodies such as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), Centrelink or the Courts);
  • It is in the public interest (that is, to protect our interests or where we have a duty to the public to disclose, or where it is necessary in proceedings before a court or tribunal) and where a crime or fraud is committed or is suspected; or
  • It can be reasonably inferred from the circumstances that an individual has consented to their personal information being disclosed to a third party.

 

CHUB does not use or disclose the personal information for any other purpose unless one of the following applies:

  • The individual has provided consent;
  • The individual would reasonably expect CHUB to use or disclose the personal information for a purpose that is related to the primary purpose;
  • Use or disclosure is required or authorised under Australian law or an Australian court or tribunal order; or
  • The use or disclosure is reasonably necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to the life, health or safety of an individual and it is unreasonable or impractical to obtain consent to the disclosure.

 

As a matter of course, CHUB does not disclose personal information to overseas recipients.

If this position changes, we will only send your personal information outside Australia where, for example:

  • You have requested or consented that we send your personal information;
  • We outsource a function or service to an overseas contractor with whom we have a contractual relationship; or
  • It is necessary to investigate or facilitate a transaction on your behalf.

 

CHUB will continue to keep your personal information as is reasonably necessary, for the purposes mentioned above, after the expiry of the prepaid solution.

 

Your consent is important

CHUB may require your consent to use and/or disclose your information in particular ways.

We may need your consent, for example, if we use your information for a purpose that is not related to the purpose for which we collected your information in the first place.

Depending on the circumstances, this consent may be express (for example, you expressly agree to the specific use of your information by ticking a box) or implied by some action you take or do not take (for example your agreement is implied by the fact that you have agreed to your product terms and conditions which contains information about the use of disclosure).

 

Do we collect personal information electronically?

Each time you visit our cherrypay website or our cherrypay app, we collect information about your use of the website or app, which may include the following:

  • The date and time of visits;
  • Which pages are viewed;
  • How users navigate through the site/app and interact with pages;
  • Location information about users;
  • Information about the device used to visit our website/app; and
  • IP addresses.

 

This information is obtained through the use of google analytics.

 

Security of your Personal Information

CHUB protects your personal information from unauthorised access, misuse and disclosure.

Our security safeguards include:

Security Safeguard Details
Physical Security We maintain physical security, such as locks and security systems over our paper and electronic data stores and premises where applicable.
Staff education We train and remind our staff of their obligation with regard to your information.
System security When you transact with us we encrypt data sent from your computer to our systems. Where appropriate, we have firewalls, password protection, intrusion detection systems and virus scanning tools to protect against unauthorised persons and viruses accessing our systems.

When personal information is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. We also limit access by requiring use of passwords.
Destroying or de-identifying data when no longer required Where practical, we keep information only for as long as required (for example, to meet legal requirements or our internal needs).

CHUB stores the personal information it holds in connection with its cherrypay pre-paid solution at datacentres in Australia.
