Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will

our Website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use
strict procedures and security features to try to prevent un-authorized access.
Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through
your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to
navigate our Website and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us
to track your activities at our Website and Service. There are four types of cookie:
• Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Website.
They include, for example, cookies that enable users to log into secure areas of our Website.
• Analytical/performance cookies. These types of cookies allow us to recognize, count the number
of visitors, and see how visitors move around our Website when they are using it. This assists us to
improve the way in which our Website works, for example, by ensuring that you can find what you
are looking for easily.
• Functionality cookies. These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our Website.
They enable the personalization of content, recognition of users, and also remember your user
preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
• Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our Website, the individual pages visited and
the links followed. If the cookie is set by a third party (for example, an advertising network) which also
monitors traffic on other websites, this type of cookie may also be used to track your movements
across different websites and to create profiles of your general online behavior. Information collected
by tracking cookies is commonly used to target online advertising.
The four types of cookies above will be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
• Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your
computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow
our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Website or
Services. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after
you have logged in, as you move through our Website or Services.
• Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser
or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to remember your user information,
preferences and activity, to enable us to provide our services to you when you next return to our
Local Storage Objects. We may use Flash Local Storage Objects (“Flash LSOs”) to store your Website
preferences and to personalize your visit. Flash LSOs are different from browser cookie because of the
amount and type of data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of Flash
LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your
settings for Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel”
and follow the instructions. To see the Flash LSOs currently on your computer, choose “Website Storage
Settings Panel” and follow the instructions to review and, if you choose, to delete any specific Flash LSO.
HTML5 Storage. We may also store your user information and Website preferences locally within your
web browser via HTML5.
Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier,
similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear
GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel
tags), in connection with our Website or Services to, among other things, track the activities of Website
visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Website and Services usage. We and our
third-party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email
response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
Changing or Disabling your Cookie Settings. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if
you prefer you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar
on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have
the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to
our Website who disable their web browsers’ ability to accept cookies will be able to browse the Website;
however, most site features will not function if you disable cookies and you will not be able to login to
use our services.
Do Not Track. Currently, our systems do not honor browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however,
disable certain tracking as discussed above (e.g., by disabling Cookies); you also may opt-out of Third
Party Analytics or targeted advertising by following the instructions in the Third Party Ad Networks section
below.
We use these tools to help us improve our Services, performance and user experiences. These entities
may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. These third parties may collect
your device ID, IP address, or other information about your use of the Services as part of the analytics
they provide to us.
THIRD-PARTY AD NETWORKS
We use third parties, such as network advertisers and other marketing agents, to display advertisements
on our Website, to assist us in displaying advertisements on third party websites, and to evaluate the
You may opt-out of many third-party ad networks, including those operated by members of the Network
Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). For more information regarding
this practice by NAI members and DAA members, and your choices regarding having this information
used by these companies, including how to opt-out of third-party ad networks operated by NAI and DAA
members, please visit their respective websites: www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp (NAI)
and www.aboutads.info/choices (DAA).
Opting out of one or more NAI member or DAA member networks (many of which will be the same) only
means that those members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you
will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on our Website or other websites. You may continue
to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing. Also, if your
browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase
your cookies, use a different computer or mobile device or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt-
out may no longer be effective. Additional information is available on NAI’s and DAA’s websites accessible
by the above links.

You should be aware that when sharing your information, it may be transferred to, and stored at, a
destination outside the EEA.
Please note that where data is transferred outside of the EEA, non-EEA countries may not offer the same
level of protection for personal data as is available in the EEA. Payoneer will take various measures to
ensure that your data is treated securely, which may include, but not be limited to:
- assessing the security measures taken at any place your data is transferred to;
- having suitable contract terms in place that oblige a data processor to only process in
accordance with our instructions; and
- having monitoring, reporting and resolution procedures in place with regard to ongoing
security.
Please contact us if you require more detailed information about international transfers of your
information, and the particular safeguards used.
• the processing is necessary to perform our contract with you (i.e. the Terms and Conditions
that apply as applicable with respect to Payoneer Services, for the provision of our Services),
or to take steps requested by you before entering into said contract;
• the processing is in Payoneer's or someone else's legitimate interests, and these interests are
not overridden by your interests or rights in the protection of your personal data. This may
include processing your data for prevention of fraudulent activity, internal research and
analytics assessments, for purposes of communication with you, and informing you about
new products and services we are offering or to promote new products and services of other
parties which we think may be of interest to you, etc.;
Sometimes we process data about you which the law considers to fall within special categories (see
section "What data do we process about you?" for more details), in which case, we use one of the
following grounds:
• the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
• you have freely given your informed, specific consent to the processing; or
• the processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, based on applicable
law.
If you would like more information about the legal grounds used to process your information, or
about the legitimate interests referred to above, please contact us.
In cases where we have asked for, and you have given, your consent to our processing of your
personal data, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time. You can do this by
contacting our DPO at [email protected].
(i) Automated tools incorporated in our process of approval of your registration application:
based on the information you provided, the tool may advise if additional information is
required for purpose of approval of your application.
(ii) Automated tools incorporated in our process of approval of certain payment transaction
of registered users: such tools may advise if additional information is required for purpose
of performance of the payment transaction.
• Provide you with other information about your personal data such as what data we have,
what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it abroad and how we protect
it, how long we keep it for, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we
got your data from and whether we carry out any automated decision making or profiling.
We aim to give you all this information in this privacy policy, although if anything is unclear,
please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
You do not have to pay a fee for a copy of your information unless your request is unfounded,
respective or excessive, in which case we will charge a reasonable amount in the circumstances. We
will let you know of any charges before completing your request.
If we have shared the data with anyone else, we will tell them about the correction wherever possible.
We aim to deal with requests for correction within 1 (one) month, although it might take us up to 3
(three) months if your request is particularly complicated.
If we cannot action a request to correct your data, we will let you know and explain why this is.
This right is sometimes referred to as "the right to be forgotten". This is not an absolute right but
you have the right to have your data erased, free of charge, in certain circumstances.
• it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed;
• we are processing your data based on your consent, and you withdraw that consent;
• you object to the processing and we do not have an overriding legitimate interest for
continuing;
There are some exceptions to this right. If one of these applies, we do not have to delete the data.
If we have shared your data with third parties, we will tell them about the erasure of your data unless
this is impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.
You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in some circumstances, free of charge.
This is not an absolute right. If processing is restricted we can store the data and retain enough
information to make sure the restriction is respected, but we cannot further process your data.
You can restrict the processing of your personal data in the following cases:
• if you contest the accuracy of your data, we will restrict processing until we have made sure
the data is accurate;
• if the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase your data;
• if we no longer need the personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise or
defend a legal claim.
If we have disclosed the data to a third party, we will inform them about the restriction unless it is
impossible or would require a disproportionate effort. We will tell you if we decide to lift a restriction
on processing your data.
Objecting to the processing of your data is free of charge. It is not an absolute right but you can
object to our processing of your data where it is:
We will stop processing your personal data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the
processing which override your interests and rights, or unless we are processing the data for the
establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
You can require us to stop using your data for direct marketing purposes. We will stop as soon as
we receive your request. There are no exemptions or reasons for us to refuse.
Data Portability
This allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different
services. It applies where the following conditions are met:
• we are processing the data either based on your consent or because it is necessary for the
performance of a contract; and
We will provide your data free of charge in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form.
We aim to provide your data within 1 (one) month of receiving your request unless it is particularly
complicated or you have made several requests, in which case we aim to respond within 3 (three)
months. If we are going to take longer than 1 (one) month we will let you know and explain why we
need more time. If we consider that we cannot provide you with your data, we will contact you and
explain why this is.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision which is based on automated processing and
which produces a legal (or similarly significant) effect on you.
These rights are not absolute. They do not apply if the decision is:
We may also disclose such information as required or permitted by any law, for example to meet our
obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth).
You may request to access or correct any personal information we hold about you. We will provide
our reasons if we deny any request for access to or correction of personal information. Where we
decide not to make a requested correction to your personal information, and you disagree, you make
ask us to make a note of your requested correction with the information.
You should be aware that when sharing your information, it may be transferred to, and stored at, a
destination outside Australia including but not limited to the United States of America.
Please note that where data is transferred outside of the Australia, other countries may not offer the
same level of protection for personal data as is available in Australia under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Nonetheless, Payoneer will take various measures to ensure that your data is treated securely, which
may include, but not be limited to:
• assessing the security measures taken at any place your data is transferred to;
• having suitable contract terms in place that oblige a data processor to only process in
accordance with our instructions; and
We may also collect, hold, use and disclose certain credit-related personal information about you
which may include:
• permitted identification information e.g. names, date of birth, sex, 3 most recent addresses,
employer and driver's licence number;
• your applications for credit - the fact that you have applied for credit and the amount and
type of credit;
• records of previous requests made by credit providers to credit reporting bodies (“CRBs”) for
information about you in connection with consumer or commercial credit applications,
guarantees and securitisation arrangements;
• information about defaults (where repayments are more than 60 days overdue, in certain
circumstances);
• where those default repayments are no longer overdue, or new payment arrangements have
been agreed;
• a credit provider’s opinion that you have committed a serious credit infringement (that is,
acted fraudulently or shown an intention not to comply with your credit obligations);
• the start and end dates, credit limits and certain terms and conditions of your credit
arrangements;
• information derived by CRBs from the above information (e.g. assessments and ratings in
respect of your credit worthiness); and
• information we derive from the above information (e.g. our own assessments and ratings in
respect of your credit worthiness), (“credit-related personal information”).
This may also include information about your arrangements with other credit providers as well as
with us.
We may disclose some of these types of information to CRBs. CRBs may use credit-related personal
information to maintain records on individuals which they may share with other credit providers for
those providers’ own credit assessments.
Where you express any concerns that we have interfered with your privacy or conducted ourselves
inconsistently with this Privacy Policy, we will respond to let you know who will be handling your
matter and when you can expect a further response. We aim to resolve your concerns in a fair and
efficient manner within 30 days.
If you are unhappy about how we are processing your data or how we have responded to a request
or complaint, you have the right to make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information
Commissioner (OAIC). You can find more details about how to contact the OAIC in writing as set out
