Children's Privacy

Our mobile top-up services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. To use our platform and send international recharges, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction
  • Have legal capacity to enter into binding contracts

If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from someone under 18, we will delete that information immediately. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information should contact us at privacy@talky.ca.

Automated Decision Making and Profiling

We use automated systems and algorithms to provide efficient mobile top-up services and prevent fraud. This includes:

Fraud Detection

Our automated fraud detection systems analyze transaction patterns, device information, and behavioral signals to identify potentially fraudulent mobile top-up attempts and protect users.

Risk Assessment

We automatically assess transaction risk levels based on factors like payment method, transaction history, and destination country to determine if additional verification is needed for mobile recharges.

Service Optimization

We use analytics to understand user preferences and improve our mobile top-up platform, but these do not result in automated decisions that significantly affect your rights.

You have the right to contest automated decisions, request human review, and obtain an explanation of the logic involved. Contact our Data Protection Officer if you believe an automated decision has unfairly affected you.
