We work hard to keep all our legal mumbo jumbo as simple as possible, but we still have to have it.
SimplePay is committed to protecting the privacy of your business and employees, whilst also developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. Our privacy policy has been created by combining the most stringent rules from the regions in which we operate. Therefore, all data handling and storage is done in full compliance with, and often in excess of the requirements laid out in the PDPA
We are committed to helping you uphold your own and your employees’ rights over their personal information, whilst also making your obligations in meeting the requirements under data protection legislation as simple as possible.
Our commitment to protecting privacy is guided by our information security principles. These are as follows:
Processing Limitation – We will only process the data you have provided to us, for the purpose which it was shared.
Accuracy – We will endeavour to make it as easy as possible for you to keep your information up to date.
Data Minimisation – If information you shared with us is no longer necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations, we shall ensure that any data which isn’t erased is in a non-identifiable form.
Openness – We pride ourselves in exceptional customer service, helping make your life easier, whilst also guarding your interests. Therefore, should you require further explanation on a subject, we will happily clarify our role and involvement with you.
Consent – If for any reason we should need to undertake further processing of information provided by you, we shall not do so without your consent, unless legally obliged.
Confidentiality – Fundamentally, we want to give you peace of mind, so that you can share information with SimplePay with confidence! This will mean you can focus on the excellent service we provide.
