Personal Information
Throughout this policy, we use the term personal information to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information that has been anonymised so that it does not and cannot be used to identify a specific user. LedgeFi takes reasonable precautions, as described herein, to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a secure, smooth, efficient, and customised experience.
We may use your personal information to:
- Provide LedgeFi Services and customer support you request;
- Process transactions and send notices about your transactions;
- Resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
- Prevent and investigate potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and/or violations of our posted user terms;
- Customise, measure, and improve LedgeFi Services and the content and layout of our website and applications;
- Deliver targeted marketing, service update notices, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences; and
- Verify your identity by comparing your personal information against third-party databases.
We will not use your personal information for purposes other than those purposes we have disclosed to you, without your permission. From time to time, we may request your permission to allow us to share your personal information with third parties. You may opt out of having your personal information shared with third parties, or from allowing us to use your personal information for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes for which we originally collected it or subsequently obtained your authorisation. If you choose to so limit the use of your personal information, certain features or LedgeFi Services may not be available to you.

We store our customers’ personal information securely throughout the life of the customer’s LedgeFi Account. LedgeFi will retain your personal information for a minimum of five years or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations or to resolve disputes.
