PayMe Privacy Policy
At PayMe , we are committed to preserving your privacy. This privacy statement sets out how we collect and manage personal information and why we collect information
We collect personal information in a variety of ways. For example, we collect information when you:
- visit our web site,
- make an enquiry about our services,
- receive payroll services through PayMe, or
- supply goods or services to us.
Information provided by you
You provide most of the personal information directly to us and for a specific purpose. For example, when you complete a “join us” form or make an enquiry about our services, we collect your contact details so that we can provide you with the information or advice you need.
If you receive payroll services through PayMe, we collect personal and financial information so that we can process your payments and collect payment from recruitment companies for our services.
Information provided by third parties
We sometimes collect personal information from our staff, contractors or other third parties about potential contractors, recruitment companies, customers or suppliers. This information may be used to send you general correspondence or other information.
If you receive payroll services through PayMe, you may be the subject of a credit check conducted by a credit agency.
Information provided by "cookies" technology
When you visit our web site, "cookies" technology allows us to identify your movements around our site. Cookies cannot determine the identity of individual users. It is a feature of your Internet browser which you can disable at any time. Cookies can make websites easier to use by storing information about your preferences on a particular website. The information remains on your computer after the Internet session finishes. PayMe’s web site uses cookies in two very limited ways.
The first time you visit PayMe’s web site one cookie will be stored on your computer. On each visit to PayMe’s web site the system checks whether there is a PayMe cookie on your computer. If so, it simply notes its presence and records your visit to PayMe’s web site as a 'previous user'. If not, it will store one and record your visit as a 'first time visitor'. This cookie will be stored permanently unless you choose to delete it. The information is used by the PayMe to help it improve PayMe’s web site by understanding how it is used. There is no attempt made to identify individual users in any way.
The database saves cookies to your hard drive so that they are available next time you use it. These cookies record details of search results and viewed documents to make your navigation easier on subsequent visits to the database. Most Internet browsers are pre-set to accept cookies. If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your Internet browser to refuse cookies or to warn you when cookies are being used.
Sensitive Information
We do not collect sensitive information such as your race, religion, beliefs or sexual preference, except where you have consented or where we are permitted or required by law to do so.
How we use the information we collect
We use personal information primarily for the purpose for which it was collected. Because most of our information is collected from you directly, you will normally be aware of the purpose of the collection.
Use of the information for a secondary purpose
We may sometimes use the personal information we collect for a secondary purpose, that is, for use in a way different from the original reason for collection. We will only do this in the following circumstances:
- where you have consented,
- where the secondary purpose is directly related to the primary purpose, and you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information in such a way, or
- where we are permitted or required by law, or it is in the interests of public safety to do so.
For example, we may use your contact details to send you information about services we provide, or to invite you to our events. You are always provided with the opportunity to notify us that you do not wish to receive this material.
Disclosure of the information we collect
We will not disclose information we collect about you to any entity outside PayMe without your prior consent. Similarly, we will not sell any information we collect about you.
Your ability to access and correct information
We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information which we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
If you wish to access the information we hold about you, you are welcome to contact us and we will respond to your request within 30 days.
Correcting information
You can also request that information about you be corrected or deleted. This is part of our commitment to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
Right to refuse access or correction
We reserve our right to refuse your request for access or correction if, for example, we consider your request to be frivolous or vexatious, or if we are legally entitled to do so. If we refuse your request, we will give you our reasons.
Security of information
We provide a secure environment and a reliable system but you should be aware that there may be inherent risks associated with the transmission of information via the Internet.
We will take all reasonable steps to ensure the security of all personal information we collect. This involves protecting it from misuse and loss, as well as from modification and disclosure.
All of our staff are bound by confidentiality which is consistent with our privacy statement. The electronic databases that hold information as well as our internal systems are also designed to restrict access to only those people who require specific information.
In addition, your personal information is only kept while it is required for the purpose for which it was collected or for a permitted secondary purpose.
Updating our privacy statement
As PayMe expands, we may revise our privacy statement. We will keep you updated on these changes by posting new versions of our policy on our web site.
By providing your personal information to us or by using our web site, you are indicating your acceptance of our current policy.
