The platform assists users to record shifts, track work performed across multiple employers, monitor hours worked and estimate potential entitlements under the SCHADS Award and related workplace arrangements.

4. Important Information About Employment Data

PayM8 retains ownership of all software, systems, databases, algorithms, calculation methodologies, reporting structures and intellectual property used to process such information.

Users grant PayM8 a non-exclusive licence to host, store, process, analyse and utilise user data solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining, securing and improving the platform.

8. Aggregated and Anonymised Data

PayM8 may create aggregated and anonymised statistical information derived from user information for analytics, reporting, benchmarking, product development and service improvement purposes.

PayM8 may use aggregated and anonymised information to better understand industry trends, workforce patterns, shift utilisation, travel requirements, award-related trends and platform usage behaviours.

Such information will be de-identified and will not reasonably identify individual users, employers, clients or workplaces.

PayM8 does not sell identifiable user employment data. PayM8 does not disclose identifiable employment records to advertisers or third parties for marketing purposes.

10. Marketing Communications

PayM8 may send account-related communications, service notices, security alerts, billing information and product updates.

Users may opt out of promotional communications at any time. Account, billing, security and service-related communications form part of the service and cannot be opted out of while an account remains active.

11. Data Retention

PayM8 retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain user accounts, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and protect legitimate business interests.

Employment records, shift information, payroll-related information and account data may be retained while an account remains active and for a reasonable period following account closure.

Where personal information is no longer required, PayM8 will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy or de-identify that information unless retention is required by law.

Aggregated and anonymised information that does not identify an individual may be retained indefinitely for analytics, benchmarking, product development and service improvement purposes.

12. Data Security

PayM8 implements reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, misuse, alteration or loss.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Overseas Disclosure

Some service providers engaged by PayM8 may store or process information outside Australia. PayM8 may utilise reputable third-party technology providers, cloud hosting providers, payment processors, analytics providers and infrastructure providers whose systems may store or process information in Australia or overseas jurisdictions.

While PayM8 takes reasonable steps to ensure that overseas service providers implement appropriate privacy and security safeguards, users acknowledge that information may be transferred to, stored in or processed in countries that do not have privacy laws equivalent to those in Australia.

You may request access to personal information held about you and request corrections where information is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date by contacting admin@mypaym8.com.

15. Account Closure and Data Deletion

Users may request closure of their PayM8 account through their account settings within the platform or by contacting admin@mypaym8.com.

Upon receiving a valid account closure request, PayM8 will take reasonable steps to deactivate the account and delete or de-identify personal information that is no longer required for legitimate business purposes or legal compliance obligations.

Certain information may be retained where required by law, for fraud prevention, dispute resolution, enforcement of agreements, security purposes or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
