We automatically receive and record internet usage information on our server logs from your browser, such as your Internet Protocol address (IP address), browsing habits, click patterns, version of software installed, system type, screen resolutions, colour capabilities, plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine keywords, JavaScript enablement, the content and pages that you access on the website, and the dates and times that you visit the website, paths taken, and time spent on sites and pages within the website (usage information). Please note that other websites visited before entering our website might place personal information within your URL during a visit to it, and we have no control over such websites. Accordingly, a subsequent website that collects URL information may log some personal information.
3.3. Web beacons
80eight's website may contain electronic image requests (called a single-pixel gif or web beacon request) that allow us to count page views and access cookies. Any electronic image viewed as part of a web page (including an ad banner) can act as a web beacon. Our web beacons do not collect, gather, monitor or share any of your personal information. We merely use them to compile anonymous information about our website.
3.4. Recording calls
80eight's may monitor and record any telephone calls that you make to us unless you specifically request us not to.
3.5. Purpose of collection
The goods or services information, or optional information that you provide to us may be used or processed for the purposes that you indicated when you agreed to provide it to us. Processing includes gathering your personal information, disclosing it, and combining it with other personal information. We generally collect and process your personal information for various purposes, including:
3.5.1. financial services purposes -- such as providing investment products of your choosing;
3.5.2. marketing purposes -- such as pursuing lawful related marketing activities;
3.5.3. business purposes -- such as internal audit, accounting, business planning, joint ventures, disposals of business, or other proposed and actual transactions;

3.5.7. remember your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you access the website;

3.6. Our Obligations.
3.6.1. General obligation
3.6.1.1. 80eight may use your personal information to fulfil our obligations to you.
3.6.1.2. 80eight may send administrative messages and email updates to you about the website. We may wish to provide you with information about new financial services in which we think you may be interested. This means that in some cases, we may also send you promotional messages. We will not send you promotional messages unless you have chosen to opt into them. But, we may send you one message asking you to opt into promotional messages without you having opted-into promotional messages.
3.6.1.3. While you are logged into the website, 80eight may display targeted adverts and other relevant information based on your personal information. In a completely automated process, computers process personal information and match it to adverts or related information. We never share personal information with any advertiser, unless you specifically provide us with your consent to do so. Advertisers receive a record of the total number of impressions and clicks for each advert. They do not receive any personal information. If you click on an advert, we may send a referring URL to the advertiser's website identifying that a customer is visiting from the website. We do not send personal information to advertisers with the referring URL. Once you are on the advertiser's website, however, the advertiser is able to collect your personal information.
3.6.2. Protection of personal information
3.6.2.1. The security of our filing system is managed to ensure that personal information is adequately protected. To this end, security controls will be implemented in order to minimise the risk of loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, interference, modification or destruction.
3.6.2.2. Security measures also need to be applied in a context-sensitive manner. For example, the more sensitive the personal information, such as medical information or credit card details, the greater the security required.
3.6.2.3. 80eight continuously reviews its security controls which will include regular testing of protocols and measures put in place to combat cyber-attacks on the organisation's IT network.
3.6.2.4. All paper and electronic records comprising personal information are securely stored and made accessible only to authorised individuals.
3.6.2.5. All new employees will be required to sign employment contracts containing contractual terms for the use and storage of employee information.
