DEFINITIONS

PRIVACY AND YOUR INFORMATION

For information about SWA’s data protection practices, please read SWA's Privacy Policy, which details our protection of your private and personal information when you access https://getswam.com.au and use the Service. The policy may be updated from time to time at our discretion. Changes will be effective upon posting to the site.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTY SITES

Within the Service, You may direct SWAM to receive your own information maintained online by third-party financial institutions which they have customer relationships, maintain accounts or engage in financial transactions (“Account Information”), or contained in your email, or via other methods (for example, uploading documentation). SWAM works with one or more online financial service to access this Account Information. The protection of your information is subject to strict security and privacy practices, as detailed in the SWA Privacy Policy. Unless part of SWA ongoing service, SWAM makes no effort to review the Account Information for any purpose, including but not limited to accuracy, legality or non-infringement. SWAM is not responsible for the products and services offered by or on third-party sites.

SWAM cannot always foresee or anticipate and therefore shall not be liable in respect of any technical or other difficulties which may result in failure to obtain data or loss of data, personalisation settings or other service interruptions. SWAM does not assume any responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any user data, communications or personalisation settings.

For example, when using the Service, Account Information via third party services is only as fresh as the time at which the information is obtained from such sites. Such information may be more up-to-date when obtained directly from the relevant sites. Accordingly, SWAM cannot assume any responsibility, nor bear any indemnity in respect of information used for the Service that is in any way untimely or out of date. Note, you can minimise the risk of untimely data by refreshing your Account Information through the Service, according to instructions detailed via the Service.
