Introduction and Scope

Welcome to Westpacfi (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your personal financial data and maintaining your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at https://westpacfi.com and utilize our interface or support services. By accessing our platform, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

Information Collected via User Interactivity & Comments

When visitors engage with our platform—including leaving comments, submitting inquiries, or interacting with support forums—we collect the data explicitly provided in the submission forms. Additionally, to maintain network security and ensure platform integrity, we automatically log the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in automated fraud and spam detection.

If you utilize an avatar service (such as Gravatar), an anonymized string generated from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to verify your account status. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon verification and approval of your submission, your profile image may be visible to the public alongside your content.

Media and Document Uploads

If you upload documents, verification images, or media assets to our platform (such as identity verification or proof of address), you must ensure that all embedded location data (EXIF GPS) is removed prior to submission. Content hosted publicly on the website can potentially be scraped, allowing third parties to extract location parameters from these files.

Cookies and Automated Tracking Technologies

To optimize your digital experience, we utilize cookies and tracking technologies to manage active sessions and retain user preferences:

• Interaction Cookies: If you submit data or leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and digital identifiers. These are deployed solely for your operational convenience so you do not have to re-enter credentials on subsequent actions. These tracking tokens persist for one calendar year.

• Authentication Sessions: When visiting our login gateway, a temporary session cookie is created to verify if your browser environment accepts tracking data. This contains no identifying personal metrics and is instantly purged when you close your browser.

• Operational & Portal Preferences: Upon successful account login, we establish persistent cookies to lock in your authentication credentials and dashboard display configurations. Login tokens remain valid for two days; however, if you select the “Remember Me” option during authentication, your secure session will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account explicitly flushes these authentication cookies from your local cache.

• Content Management Tracking: If you modify, draft, or publish an article or log entry, an incremental cookie will be registered within your browser. This file contains no identifying personal information and strictly tracks the database reference ID of the publication asset you updated. It expires automatically after 24 hours.

Third-Party Integrations and Embedded Content

Pages on this platform may feature embedded infrastructure components (including financial data charts, secure video streams, or third-party validation forms). Embedded components sourced from external entities function identically to a direct user visit to those external platforms.

Consequently, these independent third-party entities may compile telemetry data regarding your interaction, utilize localized cookies, insert secondary tracking scripts, and actively monitor your operational behavior with that embedded content—particularly if you maintain an active account and are concurrently authenticated into that vendor’s primary platform.

Data Dissemination and Shared Contexts

Westpacfi does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third-party marketing networks. Your data is strictly shared with core enterprise infrastructure providers to facilitate essential platform operations. For example, if you initiate a secure password reset or verification request, your current originating IP address and device fingerprint will be embedded within the programmatic transactional transmission to ensure security.

Data Retention Schedules

We enforce strict data minimization practices to limit how long information is stored in active databases:

• Public Submissions: If you submit public comments or support entries, the metadata and underlying content are retained indefinitely. This enables our backend moderation infrastructure to automatically identify, approve, and contextualize follow-up responses without administrative delays.

• User Accounts: For customers who register a portal profile on our network, we securely archive the personal metrics provided within their operational profile layout. All authenticated users maintain the right to inspect, edit, or purge their personal records at any given interval (with the structural exception that base system user IDs cannot be manually modified). Platform administrators possess read and write clearance over these profiles to support standard compliance audits.

Consumer Data Rights and Erasure

If you hold an active account on this platform or have submitted data via our public interfaces, you are entitled to request an itemized, exported manifest of the personal datasets we maintain regarding your identity—encompassing all information you have explicitly rendered to us.

Furthermore, you can request the absolute erasure of any accumulated personal information held within our systems. This mandate strictly excludes data that Westpacfi is statutorily obligated to preserve for administrative tracking, ongoing legal protection, or core anti-fraud protocol compliance.

Data Routing and Security Scans

To defend against cyber threats and malicious interference, visitor submissions, form entries, and comment structures are systematically routed through automated, third-party spam detection and threat mitigation filtering networks. These operations analyze incoming payloads to verify structural safety before storing any input into our core application infrastructure.
