WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND DATA SECURITY

The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored at and processed by recipients located in destinations outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). These countries may have data protection standards that are different to (and, in some cases, lower than) those in which you reside. We will take all steps necessary to ensure that the recipients will use and protect your information in the same secure way that we do.

If we have given you (or if you have chosen) a password, access code or any other secure means or access or authentication which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential and complying with our instructions. You must not share credentials with anyone else, and you authorise Paysafe to act upon instructions and information from any person that enters your credentials.

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site, unless you are communicating with us through a secure channel that we have provided. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

YOUR RIGHTS

Where applicable, you may have certain rights under data protection legislation, including the right to access, correct, update or delete your personal information; object to or restrict its processing; request to transfer certain of your personal information to another service provider (so called, data portability); or to revoke any consent you have given.

However, please note that there are exceptions to those rights. For the full explanation of the rights available, please refer to the comprehensive privacy notice.

AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING

Automated decisions mean that a decision concerning you is made automatically on the basis of a computer determination (using software algorithms), without our human review.

For example, we may use automated decisions to complete a credit assessment on you when you apply for certain financial services of Paysafe, or to carry out anti-fraud checks on the transactions you perform. However, if you are in the European Union, you have the right to object the automated decision and have it manually reviewed based also on information that you can provide.

You can contact us at the details below to exercise your right.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

We will process your personal information only when we have one of the following grounds:

On the basis of your consent, for example to send you marketing messages to the extent consent is required by law;
Where necessary to enter into a contract with you and perform our obligations under that contract;
Where we have a legitimate interest, subject to such processing not overriding your own rights and freedoms;
Where we have a legal obligation to collect your personal information or otherwise need your Personal Information to protect your vital interests or those of another person; or
Exceptionally, when necessary in the public interest, for example when law enforcement agencies request information to investigate a crime.
