This Privacy Policy outlines the policies and procedures of AcuFi Pay ("we", "us", or "AcuFi") regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your information on AcuFi.com (the "Site") and the services, applications, and features available through the site (collectively, the "Services"). We collect information about you from various sources, including your AcuFi user account or profile, your interactions with the Services, and third-party websites or services.
This Privacy Policy explains how AcuFi collects, processes, and protects Personal Data when you access and use our Services. 'Personal Data' refers to any information that can identify an individual, while 'processing' includes actions such as collection, use, storage, and disclosure of data.
12.1 This Privacy Policy also governs AcuFi's handling of Personal Data shared between AcuFi and its business partners. However, it does not extend to the practices of third parties, including their websites, services, or applications that AcuFi does not own or control, nor to individuals AcuFi does not employ or manage ("Third Parties"). While we strive to collaborate with Third Parties that uphold similar privacy standards, we cannot be responsible for their content, actions, or privacy policies. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any Third Parties you interact with to understand how your data is handled.
12.2 We collect Personal Data about you in the following ways:
When you provide it directly to us, when our business partners or service providers share it with us, or when it is automatically collected as you use our Services.

When you request information, we may ask for your name and other personal details or obtain such data from third parties. Providing this information is entirely voluntary.
13.2 We, along with our third-party service providers, may use this information for various purposes, including enhancing our ability to fulfil your requests and inquiries, monitoring website usage and performance, improving user experience, ensuring compatibility with your device, protecting against fraud or identity theft, and conducting aggregate analyses of usage patterns.

By completing the application process and/or using our non-public websites, you consent to our processing and disclosure of this information to our affiliated companies and third-party service providers for their processing. We and our partners will use your personal information only for purposes necessary to fulfil our obligations under your customer agreement and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. These purposes may include due diligence, anti-money laundering verifications, 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) confirmations, and marketing activities.
14.2 For our customers, details regarding the disclosure, transfer, and processing of personal data as part of our services are outlined in the documentation provided during the onboarding process. These matters fall outside the scope of this Privacy Policy, which applies solely to information collected through this website.

Additionally, in the event of a business transaction such as the purchase or sale of assets, user information is typically among the transferred assets. If AcuFi or substantially all of its assets are acquired, or in the event of bankruptcy or business closure, user information may be transferred to or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquiring entity may continue to use your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
15.6 AcuFi may collaborate with affiliated businesses to co-promote content or services and may share your personal data with these affiliates.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains open or as necessary to provide you with our Services. In some instances, we may retain personal data for longer periods if required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, collect outstanding fees, or as otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations. After this period, we may retain certain information in a depersonalised or aggregated form that does not personally identify you.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data, considering the nature of the data and the applicable processing activities. For example, all personal data is encrypted. To help safeguard your information, we encourage you to prevent unauthorised access to your account by choosing a strong password, protecting it appropriately, and signing off after accessing your account.
While AcuFi strives to keep user account information private and secure, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Unauthorised access, hardware or software failures and other unforeseen factors may compromise the security of user information at any time.
