First Stop Money Limited is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 1998 (Cth).  This Privacy Policy describes our current policies and practices in relation to the handling and use of personal information.  By using our website (Cash2Go.com.au), you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy,

What information do we collect and how do we use it?

When we arrange finance for you, we ask you for the information we need to advise you about your finance needs and your borrowing capacity.  This is to decide whether to lend to you and on what terms.

We also use your information to enable us to manage your ongoing requirements, e.g. refinancing, and our relationship with you, e.g. invoicing, client surveys etc. We may do so by mail or electronically unless you tell us that you do not wish to receive electronic communications.

We may also notify you about new services and special offers we think will be of interest to you.  We may send you regular updates by email or by post on finance matters.  If you would rather not receive this information, please email or write to us.

We may also use your information internally to help us improve our services and help resolve any problems.  We may provide your information to associated companies of First Stop Money.

Anonymous data – We use technology to collect anonymous information about the use of our website, for example when you browse our website our service provider logs your server address, the date and time of your visit, the pages and links accessed and the type of browser used.  It does not identify you personally and we only use this information for statistical purposes and to improve the content and functionality of our website, to better understand our clients and markets and to improve our services.

Cookies – We may use ‘cookies’ to collect anonymous data.  Most web browsers are set to accept cookies.  Cookies are small pieces of information sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive.  Sometimes they identify users where the website requires information to be retained from one page to the next so you don’t have to keep re-entering the data.  Cookies by themselves cannot be used to discover the identity of the user.  Cookies do not damage your computer and you can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie so that you can decide if you want to accept it.  If you chose not to, the website functionality may not work as well.

What if you don’t provide some information to us?

We can only fully advise you about your borrowing capacity and the suitability of a loan if we have all relevant information.  If you chose not to provide mandatory information to us, we may not be able to accept your loan application.

How do we hold and protect your information?

We strive to maintain the reliability, accuracy, completeness and currency of the personal information we hold and to protect its privacy and security.  We keep personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or document retention requirements

However, as we cannot guarantee the security of communications over the Internet, we cannot give an absolute assurance that your information will be secure at all times.  First Stop Money is not responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.

Will we disclose the information we collect to anyone?

We may need to provide your information to contractors who supply services to us, e.g. to send you accounts, manage the ongoing servicing of your loan, or to other companies in the event of a sale, merger, reorganisation, dissolution or similar event.  However, we will do our best to ensure that they protect your information in the same way that we do.

We may provide your information to others if we are required to do so by law, External Dispute Resolution, or under some unusual other circumstances which the Privacy Act permits.

These linked sites are not under our control and we are not responsible for the conduct of companies linked to our website.  Before disclosing your personal information via any other websites, please examine those websites’ terms and conditions.

You can request your personal information at any time by emailing us info@firststopmoney.com.au . You can also email us to update, change or delete any personal information. If you request we delete your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to do so unless we need to keep it for legal reasons. We will generally rely on you to assist us in informing us if the information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete. 

Upon receipt of your written request and enough information to allow us to identify the information, we will disclose to you the personal information we hold about you.  We will also correct, amend or delete any personal information that we agree is inaccurate.

Denied access to personal information

There may be situations where we are not required to provide you with access to your personal information.  For example, such a situation would be information relating to an existing or anticipated legal proceeding with you, or if your request is vexatious.  An explanation will be provided to you, if we deny you access to your personal information we hold.
