3. What Personal Data do we collect and how do we collect it?

Personal Data You Give Us.

We may collect Personal Data when you give it to us, including when you indicate that you would like to receive any of our Services, when you register with us, when you complete forms online, when you speak with us over the telephone, when you speak with us in person, when you write to us, and when you visit the Website and, in certain circumstances as set out in this Privacy Notice, when you have provided your information to a related company operating under the epay brand or epayworldwide.com (each a “epay company” and together the “epay Companies”). We will also collect details of transactions you carry out through the Website and of the fulfilment of such transactions.

The types of Personal Data we collect will depend on the products or services you have requested from us. Any Personal Data collected is necessary for us to perform a contract and without such data we may not provide the desired Services.

4. How we use your Personal Data?

We use Personal Data and other data you provide to us only for the following purposes permitted by applicable laws:

• When necessary for the performance of a contract with you: We may use your data on the basis of our need to perform our obligations under a contract with you, to complete your transactions or other requests made by you, to respond to and process your queries or requests, or to contact you as necessary in connection with our performance of a contract with you. For example, if you enter into a contract for our remittance services, your data will necessarily be shared with the payment service provider that will pay out funds to your designated beneficiary in the remittance destination country, it may be shared with our agents and/or contractors to facilitate the refund of a qualifying payment order to you, it may be shared with a Euronet Group company to provide assistance in connection with the Services outside of normal business hours, and it may be used if we find it necessary to contact you in connection with our contract.
• When necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation: We may use your data to comply with legal requirements and/or regulations specific to our business. For example, when you contract with us for remittance services, we are required to perform a certain level of due diligence prescribed by law and/or commensurate with any assessed risk which may result in the reporting of your data to legal and/or regulatory authorities and/or a request from us for additional information from you to assist in our risk assessment and/or to satisfy our compliance obligations.
• When you have provided your consent for the processing: If you have consented and you have not withdrawn your consent, we may contact you with marketing communications in relation to our Services or the services and products of epay Companies (see Section 10 Direct Marketing, below).
• When necessary in the pursuit of a legitimate interest of epay: we may use your personal information when you use our websites or mobile apps to analyze and improve our products, locations, services, operations and your customer experience, and for measuring marketing return on investment and brand satisfaction in order to enhance your experience. We may use aggregate data for a variety of purposes, including analyzing user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in (and use of) the various portions and areas of our Services. We may also use your personal information to provide customer services and to help protect the security and integrity of our technology, systems, and services.

If in the future we use your Personal Data in the pursuit of our legitimate interest, we will strive to align our interests with yours such that under no circumstances will your data be used except as consented to by you or as otherwise permitted by applicable laws.
In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such data without further notice to you.

5. Is data collected shared with third parties?

epay Companies

We may share your personal data with other epay Companies in order to enable or facilitate us to provide you with any of the Services you have requested, where you have asked us to do so, to provide the Services to you outside of normal business hours and, where you have consented and not withdrawn your consent, for the epay Companies’ direct marketing purposes.

Euronet Group

epay may share your Personal Data with Euronet and affiliates in the Euronet Group (some of which are based outside the EEA – further details are set out at the end of this section 5) for the purposes, or to enable or facilitate the purposes, set out in Section 4 of this Privacy Notice. This may also include sharing your Personal Data within the Euronet Group for purposes of complying with legal or regulatory obligations.

Third party service providers

We may share your Personal Data with the following third-party service providers to manage, enable or facilitate certain aspects of the Services (including the maintenance of our servers and processing or fulfilling orders for transactions):

• Compliance verification service providers
• Financial services providers, such as banks
• Credit control or debt collection agencies

We have safeguards in place with such third party service providers requiring them to protect your personal data. To obtain a copy of the relevant safeguard measures please contact the Euronet Group Data Protection Officer as indicated in Section 1 above.

Corporate process

We may transfer your Personal Data to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, or reorganization involving Euronet, a company within the Euronet Group, or any of their respective assets. In these circumstances, we will take reasonably appropriate steps to ensure that your information is properly protected.

Legal and regulatory

We may also disclose your Personal Data in special cases if required to do so by law enforcement agencies, law, court order, or other governmental authority, or when we believe in good faith that disclosing this data is otherwise necessary or advisable, such as to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to – or interfering with – the rights or property of epay, the Services, another user, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities (for example, identify theft or fraud).

6. How long is Personal Data retained?

Personal Data is used for different purposes and is subject to different standards and regulations. In general, Personal Data is retained for as long as necessary to provide you with the Services you request, to comply with applicable legal, accounting or reporting requirements, and to ensure that you have a reasonable opportunity to access the Personal Data.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. For example:

• Legal and Regulatory Requirements. epay shall retain Personal Data and transactional data for those periods required to comply with all retention and reporting obligations under applicable laws, including without limitation commercial, tax and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Generally, this retention period will be a minimum of five years from the date of your transaction or the date our business relationship with you is terminated.
• Customer Service (administration of customer relationship, complaint handling, etc.). epay may process and retain your Personal Data for as long as we have an on-going relationship with you. Once our relationship has ended (for example because the Services have been delivered and paid for in full, or you have exercised your right to withdraw from the contract), we will, subject to any retention requirements under applicable laws, erase or anonymise your Personal Data.
• Marketing. Personal Data provided to us for marketing purposes may be retained until you opt out or until epay becomes aware that any such data is inaccurate.

You may obtain a copy of our Retention Policy by contacting our Euronet Group Data Protection Officer.

7. Is correspondence that you send to us saved?

Yes. If you send us correspondence, including e-mails and faxes, we may retain such data along with any records of your account. We may also retain customer service correspondence and other correspondence involving you, us and any Euronet Group company, our partners, and our suppliers. We will retain these records in line with our Retention Policy.

8. Data Security

We are committed to maintaining the security of your Personal Data and have measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the data under our control.

We employ modern and secure techniques to protect our systems from intrusion by unauthorized individuals, and we regularly upgrade our security as better methods become available.

Our data centres and those of our partners utilize state-of-the-art physical security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the facility. In addition, all Personal Data is stored in a secure location behind firewalls and other sophisticated security systems with limited (need-to-know) administrative access.
All epay employees who have access to, or are associated with, the processing of Personal Data are contractually obligated to respect the confidentiality of your data and abide by the privacy standards we have established.

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we cannot (and do not) guarantee the absolute security of Personal Data.

9. Does this Privacy Notice apply to other websites?

No. Our Website may contain links to other Internet websites. By clicking on a third-party advertising banner or certain other links, you will be redirected to such third-party websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy policies of other websites or services. You should make sure that you read and understand any applicable third-party privacy policies, and you should direct any questions or concerns to the relevant third-party administrators or webmasters prior to providing any Personal Data.

10. Direct marketing

With your consent, epay or a epay Company may sometimes contact you (by email, SMS text, letter or phone) in order to provide targeted marketing about our Services or the services of another epay company or Euronet Group company. Such marketing communications will only be sent to you if you gave your consent (when you registered for our Services or at another point) and you have not withdrawn such consent or if there is another legitimate basis to send such communications to you.

All marketing e-mails you receive from us will include specific instructions on how to unsubscribe and you may unsubscribe at any time.

Additionally, you can unsubscribe from marketing by contacting us by a method described in Section 13 of this Privacy Notice.

You should note that we are opposed to third-party spam mail activities and do not participate in such mailings, nor do we release or authorize the use of customer data to third parties for such purposes.

11. What are my data protection rights?

Subject to verification of your identity, you may request access to and have the opportunity to update and amend your Personal Data. You may also exercise any other rights you enjoy under applicable data protection laws. Please use the contact details in Section 13 of this Privacy Notice.

“Data Subjects” have the right to:

• Request access to any Personal Data we hold about them as well as related data, including the purposes for processing the Personal Data, the recipients, or categories of recipients with whom the Personal Data has been shared, where possible, the period for which the Personal Data will be stored, the source of the Personal Data, and the existence of any automated decision making.
• Obtain without undue delay the rectification of any inaccurate Personal Data we hold about them;
• Request that Personal Data held about them is deleted provided the Personal Data is not required by us, a epay Company or the Euronet Group for compliance with a legal obligation under applicable law or for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim;
• Under certain circumstances, prevent or restrict processing of your Personal Data, except to the extent processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and
• Under certain circumstances, request transfer of Personal Data directly to a third party where this is technically feasible.
