Privacy Policy of OK Dollar Mobile Application

About OK Dollar

OK Dollar is a mobile payment wallet that allows you to make fast money transfers, access deals, and make payments on the go. You can also recharge mobile numbers of all telecom operators and DTH services, purchase movie tickets, and share bills at restaurants.

OK Dollar also provides options to pay corporation taxes and electricity bills. Users can enter their unique Customer Identification Number, after which the application fetches the relevant information and displays it to the user, allowing them to pay pending bills.

OK Dollar also enables payments to merchants who have an OK Dollar QR code. The money will be deducted from the user's wallet and transferred to the merchant's wallet instantaneously.

OK Dollar also provides features that allow users to transfer money from their OK Dollar wallet to third-party bank payment wallets. The improved user interface provides users with a better experience when performing transactions and using other services available through the application.

About This Policy and Your Privacy

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, hold, process, and protect your personal information while ensuring the quality, integrity, confidentiality, and security of your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

By using the OK Dollar Mobile Application, you acknowledge that your information may be processed for the purpose of providing our services, maintaining account security, preventing fraud, complying with applicable laws and regulatory requirements, and improving the security and functionality of the application.

What Is Personal Information?

Personal information includes any information or opinion about an identified individual or an individual who can reasonably be identified from that information. The information or opinion will still be considered personal information regardless of whether it is true and whether or not we have kept a record of it.

For easy and fast payment processing, the application may request permission to access contacts. These contacts may primarily be used to facilitate mobile-to-mobile wallet payments and support secure payment-related services.

We may store contact list details in the user's local database. Such information is not intended to be shared with other applications on the smartphone or used for unrelated commercial purposes.

Where required for security enhancement, fraud prevention, transaction monitoring, analytics, or other legitimate purposes within the OK Dollar system, contact information may also be transmitted to and processed on our secure servers in accordance with applicable requirements.

Analytics and related security processing may be used to identify potential misuse of OK Dollar services, financial fraud, money laundering, unauthorized transactions, or other activities that may pose a risk to users or the OK Dollar payment system.

Examples of Personal Information

Some examples of personal information that we may collect, process, or hold include:

  • Name
  • Mailing or street address details
  • Personal contact details, such as telephone numbers, email addresses, or social media platform usernames used to create or manage an OK Dollar account
  • Government-issued identifiers, such as National Registration Card (NRC) number, driver's license number, or Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
  • Bank account numbers and payment card information used to perform transactions through OK Dollar
  • Photographs, videos, or audio recordings collected or provided for different services available through OK Dollar
  • Information required for KYC (Know Your Customer) and account verification
  • Device, network, application, and security-related information used to protect the OK Dollar account and services
  • Location or network-related information required to provide location-based services and enforce applicable security and access restrictions

Payment card information may be retained where necessary to track transactions, investigate disputes, or handle payment failures. We do not store the user's Transaction PIN, CVV/CVC, or One-Time Password (OTP).

Where applicable and permitted by law, certain sensitive information may be processed for specific services, regulatory requirements, account verification, or security purposes.

App Permissions

To make payments easier and provide the services available through OK Dollar, users may be asked to provide the following permissions.

Contact

OK Dollar may request Contacts permission to collect and process contact information to evaluate risk and facilitate fast and secure payments to Shopkeepers, Merchants, Bank Accounts, and wallets.

This data verification may be performed in accordance with applicable requirements and mandates of the Central Bank of Myanmar to help ensure that transactions are safe and secure.

Storage & Camera

OK Dollar may request Storage and Camera permissions to:

  • Scan QR codes from the gallery
  • Save payment receipts
  • Complete KYC verification, including Passport and NRC document verification
  • Attach photographs when requesting money
  • Support applicable tax-payment services
  • Support other services that require document or image uploads

For account security and regulatory requirements, OK Dollar may also collect the user's photograph and securely transmit it to our server during account registration and other applicable transactions.

Phone

For the security of users' accounts, OK Dollar may require access to device phone-state information.

This information may be used to help verify the user's device and account and reduce the risk of unauthorized access or fraudulent use of an OK Dollar account on another device.

Location

OK Dollar may request Location permission to provide location-based services, including displaying relevant Merchants and Agents based on the user's current location.

Users may use these services to add money to their wallet, withdraw cash from Agents, and make payments to Merchants using OK Dollar QR codes.

Location-Based Security and Access Restriction

Location or network-related information may also be used as part of OK Dollar's security controls.

To protect users, transactions, and the OK Dollar payment ecosystem, the application may determine whether the application is being accessed from within Myanmar.

Access Restriction

If the application detects that the user is accessing OK Dollar from outside Myanmar, access to the application may be restricted.

This security check may occur:

  • After the user enters their mobile number on the Login Screen
  • After the user reaches the Dashboard Screen or while using the application

If access from outside Myanmar is detected, OK Dollar may display a security restriction popup. The user will be required to exit the application and will not be permitted to continue using OK Dollar while the restriction applies.

VPN Detection

As part of our security and fraud-prevention measures, OK Dollar may perform technical checks to determine whether the user's device or network connection is using a VPN.

VPN detection may be used to help protect:

  • User accounts
  • Payment transactions
  • Wallet balances
  • Financial information
  • The integrity of the OK Dollar platform
  • The application against unauthorized or potentially fraudulent access

If VPN usage is detected, OK Dollar may restrict access to the application and display a security restriction popup.

This security check may be performed on the Login Screen and/or Dashboard Screen.

Developer Mode Detection

As part of the application's security controls, OK Dollar may check whether Developer Mode is enabled on the user's device.

Developer Mode may enable device-level functionality, such as debugging or other development-related capabilities, that could increase security risks for a financial application.

If Developer Mode is detected as enabled, OK Dollar may restrict access to the application.

This check may be performed:

  • After the user enters their mobile number on the Login Screen
  • After the user reaches the Dashboard Screen or while using the application

If Developer Mode is detected, OK Dollar may display a security restriction popup.

When Developer Mode is detected, the user will be required to exit the application and will not be permitted to continue using OK Dollar while the restriction applies.

Application Security and Access Restrictions

OK Dollar implements security controls to protect user accounts, financial transactions, personal information, and the overall payment ecosystem.

Access to the application may be restricted when one or more of the following security conditions are detected:

  1. The user is accessing OK Dollar from outside Myanmar.
  2. VPN is detected.
  3. Developer Mode is enabled on the user's device.

Login Screen

Security checks may be performed after the user enters their mobile number and before the user is allowed to proceed with the application.

If a restricted condition is detected, OK Dollar may display a security restriction popup. The user will not be permitted to proceed while the restriction applies.

Dashboard Screen

Security checks may also be performed after the user reaches the Dashboard.

If a restricted condition is detected at this stage, OK Dollar may display the same or a similar security restriction popup.

The user will not be permitted to continue using the application while the restriction applies.

These security measures are intended to protect the user, the user's OK Dollar account, transactions, and the OK Dollar payment ecosystem.
