At Get Paid In Bitcoin, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.

When you submit your details via our LinkedIn contact form, we collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and message) solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and providing relevant information about our services. We do not sell, share, or rent your personal data to third parties.

Your information is stored securely and only accessible by authorised personnel. We may use your contact information to follow up on your inquiry or share updates about our services that may be of interest, but you can opt out of these communications at any time.

If you have any questions about how your data is used or would like to request access, correction, or deletion of your information, please contact us at [email protected] or through LinkedIn messaging.

Sharing Your Information

We may share your information with:

• Service providers who help us run our business (e.g., hosting providers, payment processors).
• Law enforcement or regulators, if legally required.
• Business partners, only with your explicit consent.

Cookies & Tracking

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings.

Your Rights

As an Australian customer, you have rights under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the right to:

• Access your personal information that we hold.
• Request corrections if your information is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
• Make a privacy complaint if you believe we have mishandled your information.

If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at https://www.oaic.gov.au.

Data Security & Storage

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (such as encryption and access controls) to protect your information. We keep your data only as long as necessary for legal, business, or security purposes.

Where Your Information Is Stored

Your information is stored primarily on servers in Sydney, Australia, hosted by DigitalOcean. To protect against data loss, we also keep backup copies of our database with DigitalOcean in the United States. These backups are encrypted before they leave Australia, and only we hold the key needed to decrypt them.

Some of the service providers who help us run our business may store or process your information outside Australia. The countries where your information is likely to be stored or processed are:

• United States: encrypted database backups, sign-in with Google or Apple (if you choose to use them), website analytics, and customer support tools.
• European Union: delivery of the emails and SMS messages we send you.

Before we disclose personal information to an overseas recipient, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled in a way that is consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by posting a notice on our website.
