7. Purposes for Personal Information Processing
We have set out below, in table format, a description of the ways we may use your personal information and the types of information involved. We collect, use and disclose your personal information only where it is reasonably necessary for our business functions and activities, in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Please contact us if you have any questions about the specific uses of your personal information.
Please note that the provision of your personal information is necessary for the purposes described below and may be required by law. Failure to provide the requested information may result in our inability to provide you with the requested Services.
Automated Decision Making
What is an automated decision?
Automated decision is typically a decision that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you and is made entirely by software algorithms, without any human intervention.
Why is an automated decision important to you?
We may use automated decisions to verify your identity and to detect and prevent fraudulent activities to keep our platform secure. These systems analyse information such as your ID data, photos, device and transaction details, and behavioral patterns to confirm your identity and assess potential risks. The system uses automated risk-scoring and pattern-matching techniques to identify inconsistencies or potential signs of fraud.
In addition, please note that we offer a variety of Services that include automation features designed to help users save time, reduce emotional influence, and capture market opportunities 24/7. However, these processes are intended to assist users in executing their own trading strategies efficiently. They do not produce legal or similarly significant effects on users, as participation is entirely voluntary and user-controlled at all times.
Direct Marketing
Bitget may use your personal information to provide you with general and/or personalised updates about our Services, request your feedback, or invite you to participate in related surveys. We may also use your Identity Data, Contact Data, Technical Data, Transaction Data, Usage Data, and Profile Data to better understand your preferences and interests. This enables us to determine which products, Services, and offers may be most relevant to you when delivering customized direct marketing materials or seeking your opinion about specific Services.
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have consented to receive direct marketing news, signed up to our Services and have not opted out of receiving such communications, or where otherwise permitted by law.

Every direct marketing communication we send will include a clear option for you to opt out free of charge at any time.

We will obtain your opt-in consent before we share your personal information with any third party for marketing purposes.

For more information about the cookies we use, please review the Cookie Policy [v3] and manage cookies in Cookie Preference[v4] .
Change of Processing Purpose
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

8. Disclosures of Your Data
We may share your personal information with our third-party service providers, agents, subcontractors, and other associated organizations, as well as with our group companies and affiliates, in order to perform tasks and provide the Services and App functionality to you, as described in this Privacy Notice .
The types of recipients to whom we may disclose personal information include:
• Companies and organizations that assist us in processing, verifying, or refunding transactions/orders and in providing any Services you request;
• Third-party service providers with whom we work and whose products, Services, or applications are hosted/integrated on our Site and App;
• Identity verification agencies;
• Fraud prevention and law enforcement agencies;
• Anyone to whom we lawfully transfer our rights or obligations under the relevant terms and conditions;
• Any third party in connection with a restructure, sale, or acquisition of our business or assets, provided that the recipient uses your information for the same purposes as it was originally supplied to us;
• Persons you have authorised, such as your specified emergency contact;
• Technical and operational service providers;
• Auditors, legal and financial consultants;
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities, in Australia or overseas, where the law allows or requires us to do so;
• Other service providers as may be necessary to carry out our business functions.
We will not disclose your personal information except as described in this Privacy Notice or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
We cooperate closely with local and international authorities and institutions. Therefore, upon a lawful and justified request, your personal information may be disclosed to such authorities without prior notice to you.
Specifics Regarding The Use of The Blockchain
Certain Services provided by Bitget operate using blockchain technology. The blockchain functions as a decentralized ledger in which transactions are recorded in an immutable and transparent manner. This ensures the integrity and security of data stored on the blockchain.
Bitget ensures that no personally identifiable information (PII) is recorded directly on the blockchain. Only non-identifiable transaction data or cryptographic hashes are stored on-chain, making it impossible to attribute any blockchain record to an individual without additional information held off-chain.
Due to the immutable nature of the blockchain, once data is recorded it cannot be altered or deleted. For this reason, Bitget carefully designs its systems to keep all personal information off-chain and processes such data through secure, controlled systems. If you exercise your data protection rights, Bitget will take all reasonable steps to accommodate your request to the extent technically and legally feasible.
9. International Data Transfers
We may disclose your personal information to recipients located outside Australia, including in the EU, Seychelles, or other countries. Where we disclose your personal information to an overseas recipient, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in relation to your information, unless an exception applies under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
10. Data Security
We take the protection of your personal information extremely seriously and apply a combination of legal, organisational, technical, and physical safeguards to maintain its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. In accordance with applicable data protection principles, we have implemented appropriate measures to protect personal information against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, alteration, misuse, destruction, or disclosure.
All sensitive information processed by Bitget is encrypted both in transit and at rest, ensuring that your information remains protected throughout its lifecycle. Access to personal information is strictly limited to authorised employees, contractors, and service providers who require it for business functions and activities and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
Our security framework includes, among other measures:
· Technical safeguards such as the latest security systems, firewalls, data encryption, two-factor authentication, and password protection;
· Organisational safeguards including employee training, internal access management, and regular security audits;
· Operational measures ensuring the resilience, integrity, and continuous availability of our systems through backups and incident response plans; and
· Vendor due diligence, ensuring that we work only with trustworthy service providers who maintain equivalent security standards.
While we strive to use industry-leading technologies and maintain robust cybersecurity measures to detect and prevent attacks or other threats, no method of transmitting information over the internet or of electronic storage is completely secure. We therefore encourage you to take appropriate precautions when using our Services or sharing information via email or other communication channels.
11. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. When assessing the appropriate retention period, we consider:
• the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information;
• the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure;
• the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether these can be achieved through other means; and
• applicable legal, regulatory, and operational requirements.
For example, under Australian Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act, we may be required to retain certain information for at least seven (7) years after the end of our business relationship with you or after a transaction. We may also retain information for longer where reasonably necessary to address a potential claim, support litigation, or comply with audit or regulatory requirements.
Once your personal information is no longer required for any lawful purpose, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify it, as required by the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). We may retain anonymised information for statistical, analytical, or business improvement purposes.
12. Your Legal Rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), you have the following rights in relation to your personal information held by us. If you would like more information or wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
You have the right to:
- Request access: You may request access to the personal information we hold about you. We will provide you with access, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law (for example, where providing access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others or is prohibited by law).
- Request correction: You may request that we correct your personal information if you believe it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading. We will take reasonable steps to correct the information. If we do not agree with your correction request, we will let you know the reason in writing and note your request on our records.
- Withdraw consent or opt out: Where you have provided consent for us to collect, use, or disclose sensitive information, you may withdraw your consent at any time. If you have consented to receive direct marketing communications from us, you may withdraw your consent or opt out of receiving such communications at any time, free of charge. This will not affect the lawfulness of any collection, use, or disclosure that occurred before your withdrawal or opt-out. Please note that if you withdraw consent for us to handle sensitive information, we may not be able to provide certain products or Services.
- Complain about a breach of privacy: If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) or the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), you have the right to make a complaint. We will take your complaint seriously and investigate it promptly. Please do not hesitate to contact us via email [email protected]. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
No Fee for Exercising Your Rights
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information or to exercise any of the other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Period for Responding to a Legitimate Request
In accordance with applicable data protection laws, we aim to respond to a legitimate request as soon as reasonably practicable once the customer’s identity is successfully verified.
Verification of Identity
A customer may exercise their data protection rights only after Bitget has successfully verified their identity. You may be required to provide additional information necessary to confirm your identity before we can process your request. If Bitget is unable to verify the identity of the individual submitting the request, it may refuse to act on the request in order to protect personal information from unauthorised disclosure
13. Final Provisions
