If you opt out of receiving marketing communications, you will still receive service-related communications that are essential for administrative or customer service purposes for example checking that your contact details are correct.
Disclosures of your personal data
When you consent to providing SSV with your personal data, SSV will also ask you for your consent to share your personal data with the third parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table:
· Business partners, such as Yapily Connect Ltd, for the purpose of fulfilling and administering the contract SSV enters into with you
· Other users of the SSV Services
· Merchants – in order for payments to be made to merchants and refunds to be made by merchants
· Promotional events and marketing organisations – subject to the above in relation to your marketing preferences
· Regulators and law enforcement authorities – where SSV is under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation, prevent fraud or in order to enforce or apply its terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of its clients or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection
· Third parties to whom SSV may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of its business or assets. Alternatively, SSV may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to SSV’s business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
If SSV uses personal data for the purposes of automated decision-making and those decisions have a legal (or similarly significant effect) on you, you have the right to challenge to such decisions, requesting human intervention, expressing their own point of view, and obtaining an explanation of SSV’s decision.
SSV make automated decisions to determine whether to allow a transaction or not based on the checks carried out through SSV’s transaction monitoring service which monitors suspicious transactions based on factors such as:
· the age of merchant;
· size of transaction;
· time of day; and
· type of transaction - customer present or not present.
Depending upon the results of the checks carried out, this could result in SSV automatically declining a transaction. The right to object to automatic processing of your personal data does not apply in the following circumstances:
· the decision is necessary for the entry into, or performance of, a contract between the you and SS;
· the decision is authorized by law; or
· you have given you explicit consent.
International transfers
SSV may transfer your personal data to service providers that carry out certain functions on its behalf. This may involve transferring personal data outside the UK to countries which have laws that do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK law.
Whenever SSV transfers your personal data out of the UK to service providers, it ensures a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are in place:
· SSV will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed by the UK to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data;
· SSV may use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK which give the transferred personal data the same protection as it has in the UK, namely the International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for international data transfers. To obtain a copy of these contractual safeguards, please contact SSV at info@ssvsmartpay.co.
Data security
All information you provide to SSV is stored on SSV’s secure servers. Where SSV has given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of the Services Sites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. SSV asks you not to share a password with anyone.
SSV will collect and store personal data on your Device using application data caches and browser web storage (including HTML5) and other technology.
SSV has put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, SSV limits access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on SSV’s instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
SSV put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where SSV is legally required to do so.
SSV will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes SSV collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. SSV may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if it reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to its relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, SSV considers the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which it processes your personal data and whether it can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
In some circumstances you can ask SSV to delete your data as set out below.
In some circumstances SSV will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case SSV may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
In the event that you do not use the App for a period of 180 days then SSV will treat the account as expired and your personal data may be deleted.
You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
You have the right to:
· request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data SSV holds about you and to check that SSV is lawfully processing it.
· request correction of the personal data that SSV holds about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data SSV holds about you corrected, though SSV may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to SSV.
· request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances. This enables you to ask SSV to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for SSV continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask SSV to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where SSV may have processed your information unlawfully or where SSV is required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that SSV may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
· object to processing of your personal data where SSV is relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on its legitimate interests). In some cases, SSV may demonstrate that it has compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.
· to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
· request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. SSV will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for SSV to use or where SSV used the information to perform a contract with you.
· withdraw consent at any time where SSV is relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, SSV may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. SSV will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
· request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask SSVs to suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios:
· If you want SSV to establish the data's accuracy;
· Where SSV’s use of the data is unlawful but you do not want SSV to erase it;
· Where you need SSV to hold the data even if SSV no longer requires it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
· You have objected to SSV’s use of your data but SSV needs to verify whether SSV has overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact SSV at info@ssvsmartpay.co.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, SSV may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, SSV could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
SSV may need to request specific information from you to help it confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. SSV may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up its response.
SSV try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, SSV will notify you and keep you updated.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or about the use of your personal data or you want to exercise your privacy rights, please contact SSV in the following ways:
· Email address: info@ssvsmartpay.co
· Postal address: SSV Capital Ltd, Level 18, 40 Bank Street, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5NR
· Telephone number: +44 (0) 203 633 3344
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). SSV would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact SSV in the first instance.
