At Dime, we understand the importance of safeguarding your financial data and privacy. That's why we take our commitment to data security and compliance very seriously. With the implementation of the Jamaica Data Protection Act (JDPA) in December 2021, we've taken significant steps to ensure your information is protected according to Jamaican regulations. Here's a breakdown of how Dime prioritizes your data privacy under the JDPA:
Transparency and Accountability:
Clear Privacy Policy: We provide a comprehensive and easy-to-understand privacy policy that outlines exactly how we collect, use, and protect your data. This policy is readily available on our website for your reference.
Data Minimization: We only collect the data necessary to provide you with our financial services and payment processing solutions. We avoid unnecessary data collection to minimize potential risks.
Data Retention with a Purpose: Your data is only retained for as long as it's required to fulfill the purposes outlined in our privacy policy. We have clear data retention policies in place to ensure information isn't stored indefinitely.
Lawful Processing and Your Rights:
Consent is Key: We only collect and process your data with your explicit consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, and we will cease processing your data accordingly.
