We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and will protect your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (as defined in the Privacy Act).

These principles govern how we collect, use, hold and disclose your personal information, as well as how we ensure the quality and security of your personal information.

What is personal information?

Personal information includes any information or opinion, about an identified individual or an individual who can be reasonably identified from their information. This may include your name, address, telephone number or email address.

How do we collect personal information?

INCC is a distributor of reloadable and non-reloadable prepaid solutions involving both products and services in Australia.

  • Application support and development;
  • Program maintenance and reporting;
  • Account management services;
  • Cardholder and card program sponsor customer service; and
  • Fraud and transaction monitoring.

INCC rarely has direct contact with the individual cardholder and we may need to collect personal information about you from other people or organisations. This may happen without your direct involvement. For instance, we may collect personal information about you from other organisations, who jointly with us, provide products or services to you.

The circumstances in which INCC will collect personal information about you, as the holder of the prepaid solution, includes when:

  • You contact us; or
  • You register, activate or apply for a prepaid solution; or

      • E-mail address;
      • Your name; and
      • Mobile telephone number.
  • There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by INCC. This information can include:
      • Your IP address;
      • Browser type;
      • Domain names; and
      • Access times.
  • Information we receive from third parties including card program sponsors, credit bureaus and information services and aggregation businesses, regarding verification of identification details.

Throughout the life of your prepaid solution, we may collect and hold additional personal information about you. This could include transaction information or making a record of queries or complaint you make.

For what purposes do we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information?

The main reason we collect, use, hold and disclose personal information is to provide you with products and services.

This includes:

  • Checking whether you are eligible for the product or service;
  • Providing the product or service; and
  • Assisting you with your inquiries or concerns.

We may also collect, use and exchange your information so that we can:

  • Establish your identity;
  • Manage our risks and help identify and investigate illegal activity, such as fraud;
  • Contact you;
  • Comply with our legal obligations and assist government and law enforcement agencies or regulators;
  • Conduct research and training; or
  • Provide general statistics regarding use of the INCC website.

INCC encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to and from INCC so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. INCC is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the INCC website.

Is the information disclosed to third parties?

INCC may disclose your personal information to third parties:

  • Who are service providers, contractors or prepaid solution sponsors of INCC;
  • To facilitate the operation of the prepaid solution and the completion and settlement of transactions using the prepaid solutions;
  • For anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, detection of crime, legal compliance and fraud prevention purposes; and
  • When required or allowed by law.

When your personal information is shared with service providers or contractors, it will only be to the extent reasonably necessary for the purpose of the services they are contracted to provide.

When your personal information is shared with program sponsors, it will only be to the extent reasonably necessary for the purpose of performing any necessary prepaid solution customer support, conducting statistical analysis, improving their product, services and practices.

INCC may also disclose personal information to other third parties in circumstances where:

  • We must fulfil our legal obligations (for example, disclosure to Australian (and international) enforcement bodies such as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), Centrelink or the Courts);
  • It is in the public interest (that is, to protect our interests or where we have a duty to the public to disclose, or where it is necessary in proceedings before a court or tribunal) and where a crime or fraud is committed or is suspected; or
  • It can be reasonably inferred from the circumstances that the prepaid solution holder has consented to their personal information being disclosed to a third party.

INCC does not use or disclose the personal information for any other purpose unless one of the following applies:

  • The individual has consented;
  • The individual would reasonably expect INCC to use or disclose the personal information for a purpose that is related to the primary purpose; or
  • Use or disclosure is required under Australian law.

As a matter of course, INCC does not disclose personal information to overseas recipients.

If this position changes, we will only send your personal information outside Australia where, for example:

  • You have requested or consented that we send your personal information;
  • We outsource a function or service to an overseas contractor with whom we have a contractual relationship; or
  • It is necessary to investigate or facilitate a transaction on your behalf.

INCC will continue to keep your personal information as is reasonably necessary, for the purposes mentioned above, after the expiry of the prepaid solution.

Your consent is important

INCC may require your consent to use and/or disclose your information in particular ways.

We need your consent if we use your information for a purpose that is not related to the purpose for which we collected your information in the first place.

Depending on the circumstances, this consent may be express (for example, you expressly agree to the specific use of your information by ticking a box) or implied by some action you take or do not take (for example your agreement is implied by the fact that you have agreed to your product terms and conditions which contains information about the use of disclosure).
