Without limiting this, subject to our Terms of Use, this includes circumstances when a Primary Account Holder may be photographed or filmed in connection with educational or related activities conducted by staff of a Service Provider (including incidentally with another such Primary Account Holder), and where such an  image/film is subsequently posted on a Mint  Account by a person who is authorised by the relevant  Primary Account Holder to view and/or access their Primary Account Holder Profile, being typically but not exclusively limited to that Client’s guardian and family members, friends, specialists, and the Primary Account Holder’s Service Provider(s) (each an “Authorised Viewer”);

This may, for example, entail incidental posting of photographs/videos of one Primary Account Holder on another Primary Account Holder’s account (as referred to in 2(c) above), where such posts may remain able to be viewed even once a Primary Account Holder no longer authorises a certain Service Provider to access their Account as long as the Primary Account Holder’s Account is retained;

Any such emails will contain an unsubscribe link, enabling you to opt-out of these messages.

We take steps to regularly destroy data (being personal information and sensitive information) that does not need to be archived and to de-identify stored data where identification of a person is not reasonably required or necessary.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We will not sell your personal information to anyone. We share your personal information outside our organisation for limited purposes, such as to help us run our business and provide services. Those persons and business include:

  • Organisations who carry out credit, fraud and other security checks;
  • IT support providers; and
  • Marketing businesses engaged by us to disseminate materials to which recipients have consented.

Mint enables Users to label or tag User posts and content in a way as to identify particular interests of a Primary Account Holder or features of a Primary Account Holder’s progress (for example, “lifestyle program’, ‘exercise”). This information may be provided to the staff of a Service Provider (if the Service Provider is an Authorised Viewer, to facilitate their understanding of the Primary Account Holder’s progress, development, interests etc).

  • If we are under a duty or have a legal right to disclose or share personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions or to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our personnel and users. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We limit the information we provide to third parties to the information they need to help us provide or facilitate the provision of goods and services and associated purposes. We deal with third parties so that they are required to meet the privacy standards required by law in handling your personal information and are obliged to use your personal information only for the purposes that we give it to them.
