3. Why we collect your personal information and how we use it

3.1 We collect your personal information to allow us to provide you with the products and services you have requested from us. We’re also required to collect the information to comply with laws and regulations that are relevant to the products and services that we provide.

3.2 Some of the reasons we collect and use your personal information are:

to create, maintain, and carry out transactions in Spaceship Voyager;
to create, maintain and provide you with information relating to your Spaceship Super account;
to provide you with the ability to use our Spaceship US Investing Service;
to verify your identity, bank account information, and investigate and protect against fraud and unlawful activity;
to meet our obligations specified in applicable laws such as Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) (AML/CTF Act), Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) (SIS Act), Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) (ITAA Act); and
to comply with requests and orders served on us by courts and enforcement agencies.

4. Your tax file number

4.1 Spaceship Voyager

If you apply for a Spaceship Voyager account and you choose to provide your TFN, we collect your TFN as the responsible entity of those managed investment schemes.

4.2 Spaceship Super

If you apply for a Spaceship Super membership and you choose to provide your TFN, we collect your TFN on behalf of Diversa, and you give us and our agents permission to store and use your TFN as authorised by the SIS Act.

We collect your TFN to facilitate your Spaceship Super membership and enable you to search for and consolidate other superannuation funds you may have, in compliance with the ATO SuperMatch Terms and Conditions.

We may disclose your TFN to another superannuation provider when your benefits are being rolled out. However, we won't do this where you've asked us in writing not to disclose your TFN to any other superannuation provider.

4.3 Spaceship US Investing Service

In order to open a US Investing account, you must provide your TFN, which is required by Alpaca. You authorise us to provide your TFN to Alpaca.

4.4 You don’t have to provide your TFN to us

If you decide not to provide your TFN, we may not be able to provide you with the product or service that you have requested.

If you have a Spaceship Voyager account, we will be required to deduct withholding tax from your investment income at the highest marginal rate plus the Medicare levy. You may be able to claim a credit from the ATO for amounts withheld as part of your tax return.

If you have a Spaceship Super account, we won't be able to accept personal (after tax) contributions from you and are required to deduct tax at your highest marginal tax rate plus Medicare levy from your concessional contributions, and benefits paid to you.

If you do not provide us with your TFN, you will be unable to access the Spaceship US Investing Service because it is an Alpaca requirement to provide this information in order to request a US Investing account.

directly from you, for example, when you apply for or request information in relation to a product or service online or over the phone;

We may disclose your name, residential address and date of birth to a credit reporting agency and ask the credit reporting agency to provide an assessment of whether the personal information so provided matches (in whole or in part) personal information contained in a credit information file in the possession or control of the credit reporting agency to assist in verifying your identity for the purposes of the AML/CTF Act. The credit reporting agency may prepare and provide us with such an assessment and may use your personal information including the names, residential addresses and dates of birth contained in credit information files of you and other individuals for the purposes of preparing such an assessment. If you disagree with having your identity verified by a credit reporting agency, please let us know so that we can discuss other options with you.

7. Accessing and correcting your personal info

7.2 There is no fee for requesting access to your personal information, requesting correction of your personal information or for us to make any corrections to your personal information. However, we might charge a fee to cover the time we spend finding and putting together information you want. If there’s a fee, we’ll let you know how much it is likely to be, so you can choose if you want to go ahead.

8. Storing and securing your personal information

8.1 Under applicable laws, we are required to hold and store your personal information, including information collected in customer identification procedures and transactions for:

seven years from the date your Spaceship Voyager or Spaceship US Investing Service access was closed or the date the last designated service was processed; or
ten years from the date your Spaceship Super account was closed or the date the last designated service was processed.

8.2 The information we collect is stored electronically and physically both at our own premises and, where relevant, with our service providers. Spaceship is committed to protecting the personal information we hold on you from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access. Some of the ways we do this are by:

using firewalls, encrypting and password protecting your personal information;
restricting employee access to our databases based on their roles and responsibilities; and
requiring our employees to complete privacy training.

8.3 If you are considering sending us any personal information through our website or other electronic means, please be aware that the information may be insecure in transit, particularly where no encryption is used (e.g. email).

8.4 We take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify any personal information when we no longer need it – for example, for business or legal reasons.

9. Links on our website

Our website may contain links to third party websites. We advise that the terms of this policy do not apply to external websites. If you wish to find out how any third parties handle your personal information, you will need to obtain a copy of their privacy policy.

10. Bank account linking

10.1 We provide the option for you to use a third-party service provider (illion Australia Pty Ltd (illion)) to help you choose what account you'd like to make payments from and to, and to help us verify your bank account details.

We do this by asking you to provide your internet banking login details, which will be used by illion to establish a secure and automatic connection with your bank. illion will retrieve your bank account details (including the type, name, BSB, account number and balance). We'll present these details to you so that you can select the bank account from which you'll make payments and payments will be made to you. Once you have selected your preferred bank account, illion will provide your bank account name, BSB and account number (of your selected account) to us. Illion will then securely destroy your internet banking login details.

10.2 We only have access to view and store your account name, BSB and account number of the account that you select to use. Neither illion nor us will have the ability to control your account or perform any transactions on your account.

The ePayments Code is a code of practice that most banks have subscribed to. The ePayments Code protects you when making electronic payments such as by using internet banking. If your bank subscribes to the ePayments Code, you have rights and obligations in relation to sharing your internet banking details. By entering your internet banking details, you acknowledge that your rights under the ePayments Code may be affected and where an unauthorised transaction or fraudulent activity occurs, you may be liable for loss that arises.

We may also provide your details to other organisations for specific marketing purposes.

In order to do so, you will need to request that we no longer send marketing materials to you or disclose your information to other organisations for marketing purposes. You can make this request by emailing us at help@spaceship.com.au, calling us at 1300 049 532, by "unsubscribing" from marketing messages, or turning off push notifications on your mobile device.
