Information Collection
Cred Solutions may collect personal information about you. Personal information means, in general terms, information or an opinion that personally identifies you, or from which you are reasonably identifiable. We may collect personal information about when you provide your details through the Cred App, when you apply for our services, or when our customers provide your personal information to us so that we can help them communicate with you by email or phone app. The types of personal information we collect include name, contact details, identification information, organisation, department, information relating to your use of the Cred App, information submitted in forms, payment details and enquiry/complaint details.
If we do not collect your personal information, some or all of the following may happen:
you may be unable to use the Cred App;
we may not be able to provide the requested services or products to you, either to the same standard or at all;
we may not be able to provide you with information about services or products that you may want, including information about special offers and promotions;
we may be unable to tailor the content of our website to your preferences and your experience of our website may not be as enjoyable or useful.
It is not generally practicable for us to provide you with the option of dealing with us anonymously or using a pseudonym because we need to verify the identity of individuals authorising electronic payments to us and to verify the identity of individuals who are nominated as authorised users of our services.

Under no circumstances will Cred Solutions make any personal information about an individual user available publicly in this manner.
Your email address and phone number are used to only send you information that you have requested. As part of your use of our job posting software, Cred Solutions allows you to elect to receive, or not receive, certain information from Cred Solutions. Cred Solutions adheres strictly to a permission-based email policy. Except as mentioned above, Cred Solutions will not send you unsolicited email information, commercial offers or advertisements.

All emails that you have requested will have an option to unsubscribe. Unsubscribe requests are fulfilled within minutes and no further communications will be sent to users who have stated that they do not wish to receive the specified information.
Cred Solutions will not use or disclose your personal information without your consent, except:
where required or authorised by law;
to implement the terms of any agreement we have with you;
to assist the lawful investigation of a law enforcement authority;
to protect the rights, property or personal safety of another Cred Solutions customer, any member of the public or Cred Solutions;

Some third parties to whom we disclose personal information may be overseas. Those third parties are typically service providers who provide data processing and storage services and IT support services. They are located in Australia, Ireland and the United States of America.
Security
Cred Solutions employs a range of measures to protect the privacy and confidentiality of personal information. We primarily hold personal information in electronic form and take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is protected from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Our websites and systems are firewall protected. Additionally, the servers on which we store personal information are kept in a secure environment. Information in our data centres, including personal information, is encrypted.
Personal information is destroyed or de-identified when no longer needed.
As our websites are linked to the internet, and the internet is inherently insecure, we cannot provide any assurance regarding the security of transmission of information you communicate to us online.

Newsletter:
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. We provide a way to opt-out of these communications via the unsubscribe mechanism at the bottom of each email.

On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a service-related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.
