This Privacy Policy (โPolicyโ) was last updated on June 8th, 2023.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to the Remit5 website and mobile applications, as well as any other Remit5-owned or operated programs, websites, or applications that lead you to this Policy. This policy governs your use of the App and website provided by โFifth American Corporationโ (Trade Name: Remit 5). References to "we," "us," or "ourโ indicate โRemit5โ as the entity being referred to. This Policy, in conjunction with our User Agreement (and any other terms of use indicated in our User Agreement), governs your use of our services. Unless otherwise specified in this Policy, capitalized words and phrases (such as Agreement, Profile, Services, and Transaction) have the same meaning as they do in our User Agreement.
We acquire personal data from you based on how you engage with our goods and services. We mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person when we say "personal data" or "personal information." The categories and particular sorts of personal data or information that we may collect are as follows: Your complete name, postal address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth, occupation and employer, username or social media handle, or other similar identifiers are examples of basic identifying information.
We at Remit5 gather personal information about you from a variety of sources. This includes details you give us voluntarily, including when you use our services, make a profile, or get in touch with us. When you interact with our websites or adverts, we also gather information via the use of cookies and other automated data-gathering methods. We could also get information about you from other places, such as data analytics companies, marketing or advertising service providers, social media networks or platforms, and public records.
In addition to the cases covered elsewhere in this privacy statement, the following conditions also call for the disclosure of personal data:
At Remit5, we recognize that privacy laws vary across the globe, and as a result, some of our clients have specific data privacy rights based on the laws of their region. We strive to implement the best privacy practices that are consistent with these laws and ensure that all our clients are treated fairly and equally when it comes to protecting their personal information.
At our company, we take the security of your information very seriously and adhere to industry standards to protect it. To ensure the safety of sensitive information that is transferred through our website or app, such as bank account numbers, credit card numbers, dates of birth, and government identity numbers, we have implemented encryption technology. To access their information on our site or app, each user must use security credentials, such as a username and password. It is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality and security of any security credentials that we have provided to you or that you have chosen to access specific areas of our service. If you allow others to register their fingerprints on your device (such as through Apple Touch ID), you should not permit them to do so, as it may provide them access to our services, and you may be held liable for their actions. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee complete confidentiality. As a result, you assume all risks associated with the transmission of personal information.
We will retain your personal data only as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. The retention period for personal data is determined based on various factors, including the nature, amount, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risks associated with unauthorized access or disclosure, and the purposes for which the data is processed. Please note that by using our Services, you explicitly consent to us retaining your personal data for a period of more than 5 years after the end of your legal relationship with us, including information related to your transactions and our collection and verification of your identity. This allows us to detect and prevent fraud and unauthorized use of our services.
At Remit5, we reserve the right to modify this policy as needed, and any changes will be communicated to you by posting an updated version on our website and mobile application. We recommend that you review this policy each time you engage in a transaction with us, as it may have changed since your last interaction with our services. If you do not agree with any part of this policy or any modifications, please contact us at info@remit5.com or through other means to terminate your agreement with us and close your profile.
We cannot be held responsible for the privacy policies of other websites or services that may be linked to our website or mobile application, nor for any personal information that may be collected or processed through those websites or services. If you provide personal information to any of these third-party websites, their privacy policies will apply. This includes information such as contact and location data. We strongly recommend that you carefully read the privacy policies of any website or software program that you visit or use. Please note that this Policy does not apply to any interactions you may have with third parties while using our Services, including other users and your mobile network provider. We advise that you inquire about the privacy policies of these third parties before sharing any personal data with them.
If you use our referral service to invite a friend to use our Services, we will require their name and email address. Prior to sharing their information with us, you must obtain their explicit consent. We will notify your friend that you have shared their information with us. When you import your contacts, we will send them an email invitation and one follow-up email at most, urging them to visit our site. If you have referred a friend to us, we will automatically send them an email and one reminder email at most, encouraging them to visit our site. We will only retain your data to send these emails and monitor the results of your referral. At any point, your friend or contact may ask us to delete their information from our database, and we will comply with their request. We will honor their request not to receive any further communications from us by keeping their email address on a "suppression list." They are free to change their marketing preferences at any time.
To ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, we do not permit individuals under the age of 18 to use our Services or provide us with any personal information. We will close any profiles found to belong to individuals under 18 years of age.
The Policy is originally written in English, and translations in other languages may be provided. In case of any inconsistency between the English version and translated versions, you agree that the English version will prevail in any dispute related to the Policy.
If you have any grievances about how we handled your personal information, please do not hesitate to send us an email at info@remit5.com.
If you have any questions, comments, or requests regarding our privacy policy, you may reach out to info@remit5.com.
