When international transfers are necessary, we implement binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses, and adequacy decisions recognised by Australian authorities. All international partners undergo rigorous due diligence assessments.
You can opt out of international data transfers, though this may limit certain advanced features of our budgeting platform. We'll clearly explain any limitations before processing your opt-out request.
