b. Aggregated Data. We may also share aggregated information (information about our users that we combine together so that it no longer identifies or references an individual user) and other anonymized information on the basis of regulatory compliance, industry and market analysis, demographic or other type of profiling, marketing and advertising, and other business purposes, on the basis of our legitimate interests. This shall not constitute the processing of personal data since the information is anonymized.

c. With our legal counsels, auditors and similar for the purposes of protecting our legal rights. We may share any information which is necessary to protect our legal rights to legal counsels or similar parties.

d. Business Transfers. If any of the companies that provide services is involved in any merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, transfer of portfolio, bankruptcy, or insolvency event, then we may sell, transfer or share some or all of our assets, including your information in connection with such transaction or in contemplation of such transaction (e.g., due diligence). In this event, we will notify you before your personal information is transferred to a different legal person and/or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

2.3 Decisions based solely on automated processing.

Sometimes, our systems may take decisions based solely on automated processing. This does not mean that we will always use automated decision making for these processing activities. In case you believe that you have been unfairly treated by our automated decision-making systems you may ask that a person reviews the decision at all times by contacting us as described in the “How to file complaints” section. Such decisions may be done for processing activities that include:

Processing activity

Automated processing logic

Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and other harmful activity by blocking the services or by applying other fraud prevention measures.

Our fraud-prevention and monitoring systems may sometimes take automated decisions in regards to suspicious behavior. For example, we may block a certain transaction which was made in a remote part of the world just a few minutes after your last login from your home country.

2.4 Information collected about you from third parties.

We may ask certain entities for information about you when you are enrolling for our services.
Such entities are generally fraud prevention agencies and Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering Checkup service providers which help us to fulfil our legal obligations for due diligence on our customers.

We may also collect information about you from public sources for Anti Money Laundering reasons or market research. This includes:

  • official public records, like your national Company register.
  • information published by the press or on social media.

In case you use any of the linked services, provided by one of our partners, such as the insurance services, they may share details with us about your deal.

2.5 Processing based on statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Whenever any of the above-described data is being processed based on “Our contract with you”, “Performance of our terms and conditions”, “Compliance with legal obligations” or any similar grounds – this data is required for us to continue to provide you with the particular services and if you do not provide it to us we may have to discontinue the particular services you are using.

2.6 Retention periods.

a. We retain your personal information during the course of our contractual relationships.

We shall keep your data for no more than 5 years after the year of our last interaction, or a shorter/longer period in case it is required by relevant national legislation.

We may however retain some of this data in exceptional cases, i.e. where it is necessary for the defence of our legal rights or in case there is any kind of active and ongoing investigation related in any way to you.

In case you are using only the Starter profile version in our app (without access to the payment services), we will retain your data for no more than 6 months after the date of your last use of your profile.

b. Because we maintain our records in a manner protecting from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.

c. We reserve the right to retain your identification data for an indefinite duration if you have been placed on our company's internal blacklist due to suspected malicious, fraudulent, or analogous behavior. This retention is predicated on our legitimate interest in preventing such individuals from accessing our services in the future.

3.5 Objection to Processing.

In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to require us not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes where such processing is based on legitimate interest.
