You have the following rights, which can be exercised by contacting us support@CredibleBit.comm so that we may consider your request under applicable law.

Right to withdraw consent – You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information collected on the basis of your consent at any time. Your withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of CredibleBit’s data processing based on consent before your withdrawal.

Right of access to and rectification of your personal information – You have a right to request that we provide you a copy of your personal information held by us. This information will be provided without undue delay subject to some fee associated (if applicable) with gathering of the information (as permitted by law), unless such provision adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others. You may also request us to rectify or update any of your personal information held by CredibleBit that is inaccurate.

Right to erasure [right to be forgotten] – You have the right to request erasure of your personal information that: (a) is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; (b) was collected in relation to processing that you previously consented, but later withdraw such consent; or (c) was collected in relation to processing activities to which you object, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for our processing. The above is subject to limitations by relevant data protection laws.

Right to data portability – If we process your personal information based on a contract with you or based on your consent, or the processing is carried out by automated means, you may request to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have us transfer your personal information directly to another “controller”, where technically feasible and once our platform interface allows for the ‘exportation’ of such data. In this connection, CredibleBit is committed towards creating a robust function ensuring data portability in due course.

Without prejudice to the aforesaid, data portability will be prohibited if the requested migration of said data adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others. A “controller” is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of your personal information.

Right to restriction or objections for processing – You have the right to restrict or object to us processing your personal information where one of the following applies:

You contest the accuracy of your personal information that we processed. In such instances, we will restrict processing during the period necessary for us to verify the accuracy of your personal information.

The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of your personal information and request the restriction of its use instead.

We no longer need your personal information for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by you to establish, exercise or defense of legal claims.

You have objected to processing, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of CredibleBit’s processing override your rights.

Restricted personal information shall only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. We will inform you if the restriction is lifted.

Notification of erasure, rectification and restriction – We will communicate any rectification or erasure of your personal information or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom your personal information has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. We will inform you about those recipients if you request this information.

Right to object to processing – Where the processing of your personal information is based on consent, contract or legitimate interests you may restrict or object, at any time, to the processing of your personal information as permitted by applicable law. We can continue to process your personal information if it is necessary for the defense of legal claims, or for any other exceptions permitted by applicable law.

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling – You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of your personal information, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, save for the exceptions applicable under relevant data protection laws.

Right to lodge a complaint – If you believe that we have infringed your rights, we encourage you to contact us first at support@CredibleBit.comm , so that we can try to resolve the issue or dispute informally.

Your rights to personal information are not absolute. Access may be denied when:

• Denial of access is required or authorized by law;
• Granting access would have a negative impact on other’s privacy;
• Granting access would have a negative impact on other’s privacy;

(1) Geographical Location and Category of client.

(2) Nature of Business activity

6.4 CredibleBit will ensure that information sought from the customer is relevant to the perceived risk, is not intrusive, and is in conformity with the guidelines issued in this regard. Any other information from the customer will be sought separately with the client’s consent and after opening the account.

Exceptions to this Policy is subject to the approval, and at the sole discretion of CredibleBit Chief Compliance Officer, or a designated person. All exceptions must be documented, with reasons for the exceptions, including expiration or review date and, wherever necessary, including an action plan and timelines for compliance with the policy.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, screening of all individuals and entities against sanction programs such as for international/local sanction lists e.g UN, OFAC, EU, DFAT shall be undertaken and is mandatory. This is to ensure that the Company does not deal with any sanctioned individuals or entities. No accounts will be opened by CredibleBit for any User who appears on the international sanction lists and local country watchlist of the jurisdiction i.e. DFAT that CredibleBit business operates.

8.1 In risk-sensitive instances or where the customer is not present and there is some doubt e.g. due to online applications via its platform, the Company shall apply EDD measures. EDD measures are additional measures to the CDD measures.

8.2 EDD measures are applied in order to ensure that the higher risks presented by certain Customers and transactions are better monitored and managed to avoid any involvement in ML/Funding of Terrorism.

Thus, the Company applies EDD measures when the Operations Department classifies the Customer as high risk and, in all cases, where the customer is not present.

8.3 EDD measures are applied in the following cases:

(a) where the Applicant has not been physically present for identification purposes and classified as high risk subject to the Company’s CDD measures;

(b) in relation to cross-border correspondent banking relationships; or

(c) in relation to a Business Relationship or Occasional Transaction with a PEP.

8.4 In the above-mentioned instances, the MLRO and the Designated Employee/s are to be consulted in order to confirm which of the EDD measures indicated hereunder are to be applied whenever the applicant is not present and classified as high risk customer (i.e. for non-face-to-face applicants i.e. online applications).

8.5 In addition to the three (3) specific instances mentioned above, the Company shall also conduct EDD measures in relation to a Business Relationship or a transaction connected to a jurisdiction listed under the public documents issued by the FATF as required in the guidance note on high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions.

(NOTE: the Company restricts these clients at this stage, so the previous provisions are in case these may change in the future).

8.6 Although only three (3) relationships are mentioned above, there may be other situations which, by their nature, can present a higher risk of ML/ Funding of Terrorism. The MLRO shall, therefore, use his/her discretion when applying EDD measures in such situations. The MLRO shall ensure that such measures are applied on a risk-sensitive basis and should be appropriate in view of the higher risk of ML/ Funding of Terrorism.

NON-FACE-TO-FACE APPLICANTS

In addition to the identification and verification of identity measures to be carried out in accordance with the Identification and Verification of the Customer Section, the Operations Department shall apply one (1) or more of the following measures:

• A) ENSURE THAT THE FIRST PAYMENT OR TRANSACTION INTO THE ACCOUNT IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH AN ACCOUNT HELD BY THE APPLICANT IN THEIR NAME WITH A CREDIT INSTITUTION AUTHORISED UNDER THE BANKING ACT (Act No. 6 of 1959 as amended) OF THE LAWS OF AUSTRALIA OR OTHERWISE AUTHORISED IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE OF THE COMMUNITY OR IN A REPUTABLE JURISDICTION.

This measure entails a bank-to-bank transfer from an existing account through which the Customer would have already been identified by the Company. Therefore, the first payment or transaction into the account held by the Applicant may be an electronic card payment only where the electronic card used to affect the payment is linked to an account held by the payer with a credit institution. In such instance, the Customer must provide the service provider’s statement form the same Bank that prove that the credit card used is liked to Customer’s account with that Bank. Prepaid credit cards and E-money payments are not admissible for EDD purposes.

This limit AUD 10,000 (Ten Thousand Australian Dollars) or equivalent foreign currency may be revised by CredibleBit from time to time, based on CredibleBit’s determination of appropriate thresholds in accordance with ongoing compliance measures, and if so required under applicable Law.

9.6 CredibleBit will, in particular, monitor the following categories of transactions, and will conduct due diligence on an ongoing basis on them:

Otherwise, Users are hereby notified that as a matter of strict policy CredibleBit will not entertain any request to credit the User’s funds into a bank account other than the User Bank Account.

9.8 As Users are not face-to-face customers of CredibleBit, CredibleBit may be required to undertake enhanced due diligence, including certification of all documents provided by the Users, calling for additional documents whenever necessary, and requiring that the first payments made by such Users be effected through the User’s KYC-compliant account with a bank. Any such requirements, as may be imposed under Applicable Law, will be incorporated into this AML Policy, and CredibleBit reserves the right to update the AML Policy for this purpose.

9.9 CredibleBit’s staff are trained in CredibleBit’s due diligence and anti-money laundering measures, as well as all requirements prescribed under Applicable Law for this purpose and may be contacted at help@cryptoadvantix.com if any User has questions or concerns about any of measures contained in this AML Policy.

(i) the Company’s employee who has knowledge or suspicion of such ML/ Funding of Terrorism, shall report this matter to the MLRO.

(ii) once the MLRO has received all information relating to the knowledge or suspicion reported by the employee, he shall, together with the assistance of the Designated Employee/s, carry out a further investigation into the matter in order to decide whether such report is to be submitted to AUSTRAC as an SMR.
