HELP ROUTE

Switch to the right contact

If you want to ask about the data we hold, the permissions tied to your account, or a correction to your details, use the paths below.

Verified email Send your privacy request from the email linked to your account. Tell us what you want changed, corrected, or explained, and we will reply with the next step after verification.
In-account form If you cannot write from the registered email, submit the in-account form with enough detail for us to identify the record. We use it for access, correction, and deletion requests where permitted.
Written request For formal privacy questions, send a written request with your account name and contact detail. We may ask for extra proof before we disclose, change, or remove anything from the file.
DATA HANDLING

Browse how we handle records

We collect only what we need to run the account, verify requests, keep sessions secure, and answer privacy queries.

Collection scope

We limit collection to account details, device signals, payment references, and support messages that help us verify identity, maintain the wallet, and answer your privacy request. We do not ask for more than the request needs.

Cookie control

Cookies keep you signed in, store language choice, and help pages load correctly. They also let us see where a form breaks, so we can fix the error without reading more than necessary.

Security checks

We use login checks, device signals, and change alerts to reduce unauthorised access. If a privacy request touches sensitive account fields, we may ask for an extra confirmation step before we act.

Retention window

We keep records only for the time needed for account handling, dispute checks, legal duties, and misuse prevention. When that purpose ends, we remove or archive the data under our retention rules.

Correction path

If your name, phone number, or payment detail changes, send the update through the verified contact route. We compare the request with the account record so that changes do not reach the wrong profile.

Access and deletion

Where local law permits, you can ask for a copy of the data we hold or request deletion of specific items. We will explain what we can release and what we must retain.

Open privacy policy questions

These answers cover the privacy points you are most likely to check before opening an account. We explain what we collect, why we keep it, how cookies work, and how you can ask for access, correction, or deletion. Every request is checked against the account record, and the result depends on local law where you are located. If anything in your file changes, use one of the contact paths above so we can verify it properly.

We usually collect your name, contact details, login details, device signals, and any payment reference needed for the request. We keep the record narrow so we can verify your account, protect access, and answer privacy requests.

Cookies keep you signed in, remember settings, and show us where a page or form fails. We use that signal to fix errors and keep the session stable, not to collect more than the page needs.

We share data only when needed for payments, account checks, legal duties, or service support. Any sharing is limited to the purpose at hand, and we do not pass along more than the process requires.

We keep it for the period needed to run the account, meet legal duties, resolve disputes, and prevent misuse. After that period, we delete or archive it according to our retention rules.

Yes, you can ask us to correct or remove details where local law allows. We verify the request against the account before acting, so the change reaches the right record.
