1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

ZARMAN EXCHANGE PTY LTD (ABN: 70 692 742 957) (referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, hold, and disclose your personal information. It also covers your rights to access and correct your information and how to make a complaint. This policy is available free of charge on our website: zarman.com.au

We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for us to provide our products and services to you. The types of information we may collect and hold include:

• Identity Information: e.g., Full name, date of birth, occupation.
• Contact Information: e.g., Proof of address, phone numbers, email addresses.
• Identification Documents: e.g., Australian Driving Licence, Australian Government-issued ID, or International Passport.
• Financial Information: e.g., Beneficiary bank account details, transaction history.

We will not collect sensitive information about you (such as information about your health, race, or political opinions) without your consent, unless an exemption in the APPs applies.

3. How and Why We Collect Your Information

We collect your information in the following ways:

• Directly from You: When you register for an account, fill out forms, contact us by phone or email, or use our services.
• From Third Parties: We may collect information from third parties such as electronic verification services (to verify your identity), referrers, or publicly available sources.

4. Anonymity and Pseudonymity

We do not give you the option of dealing with us anonymously or under a pseudonym. This is because it is impracticable and illegal for us to provide our services to unidentified individuals (due to our obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006).
