Credevnet Technologies Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 06, 2024

Introduction

Credevnet Technologies has a distinctive strategy that combines old and modern techniques to create high-quality, reliable solutions while maintaining our personal touch. We see our customers' right to privacy as a fundamental component of our commitment to them.

The Scope of this Privacy Statement and Our Role

As a technology company, Credevnet Technologies (collectively "Credevnet", "we", and "us") is providing this Privacy Statement (which we'll refer to as "Privacy Statement") to describe how we collect, use, share, and or process information when you interact with us and our services, or when businesses provide us with your information. This privacy statement is extensive in nature, which means that it applies to all Credevnet websites and services. It describes our privacy practices when we process:

  1. Personal information used to deliver the benefits of the Credevnet platform, which comprises of all Credevnet's services, sites, experiences, and software (including through our desktop and mobile applications), and/or

  2. Personal information that is required to operate, manage, develop, and improve our business and to enhance your interaction with the Credevnet Platform.

In accordance with the terms used in this Privacy Statement, Credevnet chooses the methods and purposes for processing personal data, as such, is considered the "data controller" (or comparable term) for some data privacy laws. For the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, we may divulge your personal information within Credevnet Technologies and carry out processing operations as controllers or joint controllers. Please get in touch with us using the information in the "How to Contact Us" section below if you have any inquiries about how your personal information is handled.

The processing of personal information by Credevnet in the capacity of a service provider (or position that is equivalent under data privacy laws, such as a data processor) on behalf of a client or other organization that serves as the data controller is not covered by this privacy statement. The privacy statement of the relevant data controller and our agreements with that company or entity will govern our processing of such personal information when we act as a service provider.

The Credevnet Platform

The Credevnet Platform and your information

The term “platform” is used to denote a holistic coverage of products and services provided by and used at Credevnet. This means that, when you choose to share data with us, or bring over information from third parties (like a bank or loan provider), we use that data together, not just within the individual offering(s) you’re using; for example, your bookkeeping details from iRecplus, payment via Pogga Pay, and contact and purchase history details from Mailchimp.

The personal information we use in this centralised way is all the information that Credevnet knows about you, either because you are an end user of our services or a customer contact ( such as a subscriber to a customer's email list) whose personal information has been included on the Credevnet Platform. It includes information such as your credentials: your name and contact details; information about your activities, behaviour, your interests, and preferences (including purchase history with Credevnet or if you're a customer contact); insights about your finances, business, or preferences or your contacts; the content you or others place about you in our platform; and information we have collected about you from third-party sources.

Organizational Account Information

Some interactions with organizations are possible through certain Credevnet Platform experiences and services (such as your employer). If you are given access to an organization or household account (such as a business's account in iRecplus), the owner of the organization or a designated administrator may control and administer certain aspects of your account, such as setting your access rights, choosing how to use your personal data (such as payroll information), or requiring you to perform certain tasks. You might lose access to the data under the organization's control if the owner or designated administrator modifies your access rights.

As part of an organization's account, your use of the Credevnet Platform may be governed by the organization's policies, which may differ from this Statement. You should carefully consider the policies of the organization and whether you feel comfortable giving them access to your information before connecting to their services because we are not liable for the privacy or security practices of other organizations.

Your Information Rights and Choices

Your rights

At Credevnet, we think that you should have access to information about you, your family, and/or your business. Even if you don't have an account with us, you are still entitled to a copy of your information if another person entered or processed information on the Credevnet Platform on your behalf, that of your family, or that of your company. We are doing this as the data controller.

Information retention

Unless you explicitly state that we erase your personal information, we keep it for as long as it takes to operate and manage our business, provide you with the services you request, and comply with our data retention obligations. However, even if you request its removal, we might still need to keep your information around for the following reasons:

In rare cases, we might not be able to completely erase, anonymize, or de-identify your information for operational, legal, or regulatory compliance reasons. Where this is the situation, we will take the necessary precautions to securely isolate your personal information from any additional processing until we can destroy, anonymize, or de-identify it.
