Access, Correction, and Deletion Process
Users can request access to their personal data, ask for corrections, or request deletion where allowed by law. Pinco may need to verify identity before actioning a request. Requests are generally answered within 30 days, or users will be told if more time is required. Deletion may be limited by legal retention rules, such as AML recordkeeping.
How to make a request:
- Submit a privacy request through the Help Centre or the contact details provided on the website.
- Describe the data sought and the desired action, and provide proof of identity if asked.
- If unsatisfied, escalate to the Privacy Office using the same channels.
By using the services, users consent to security checks, identity verification, and processing of payment data by payment providers and verification partners as needed to deliver the services and meet legal duties.
Age Limits and Minors’ Information
The services are intended for individuals who are 18 or older, or higher where required by local law. Pinco cannot confirm age or identity without appropriate documents. If a parent or legal guardian believes a minor has provided personal information, they may contact support to request deletion. Once verified, any information about the minor will be deleted, subject to legal obligations.
Transfers of Data Outside Canada
Personal information may be processed in other countries where service providers, cloud hosts, payment processors, or verification partners operate. By using the services, users consent to these international transfers. Pinco requires partners to protect confidentiality and security through contracts, access controls, and industry-standard safeguards. Where required, standardized contractual protections or equivalent measures are applied to maintain an appropriate level of protection.
Disclaimer and How It Applies
Any disclaimer in this policy clarifies and may limit the scope or effects of certain rules to the extent permitted by law. The disclaimer applies once the user accepts the policy through signature, click-acceptance, account creation, or other forms of accession. If there is a conflict between this policy and applicable law, the law prevails. This policy does not create rights beyond those required by law or agreed in the user terms.
Cookies and Retention
Cookies are small files stored on a device that help websites remember preferences and understand usage. Pinco uses cookies and similar technologies for statistics, behaviour analysis, personalisation, fraud prevention, and site improvement. Unless a shorter period is stated in the browser or settings, cookie retention is up to 1 year. Users can manage cookie choices through browser settings or available on-site controls, which may affect functionality.
Your Acceptance of This Policy
Using the services constitutes full acceptance of this Privacy Policy. Pinco may update this document to reflect legal or operational changes, and the current version posted on the site prevails. Material changes will be highlighted by updating the effective date and providing a short notice where reasonable. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
Sharing Data with Third Parties
Personal information may be shared with third parties when required by law, to resolve disputes, to enforce agreements, or to operate the services. Pinco discloses information to categories of recipients such as payment processors, identity verification partners, fraud prevention providers, analytics vendors, hosting partners, and regulators. A list of key partners is available on the site; if not visible, users will be informed of the purpose and scope before sharing where required. Providing personal data for these purposes constitutes consent where consent is the lawful basis.
Links to External Sites
The site may link to third-party websites that have their own privacy policies and practices. Pinco is not responsible for how those websites collect, use, or disclose information. Users should review the privacy notices on any external site before providing personal data and proceed with caution.
