3.2 We do not take decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning you based solely on automated processing. Where this changes, we will tell you and explain the logic involved and your rights.
3.3 We do not knowingly collect personal data relating to children through the platform or the website. This policy is addressed to individuals acting in a business capacity.
4. Where the data comes from
4.1 Most data comes from you or your organisation directly. We also obtain corporate registry data, sanctions and PEP screening results and company verification data from third-party providers, and technical data automatically when you use the platform or the website.
5. Who we share it with
- Service providers acting on our instructions, including hosting, screening, verification, fraud detection and support providers, under written data processing terms.
- Professional advisers, auditors and insurers, where necessary and under a duty of confidentiality.
- Banks and payment service providers, where necessary to effect settlement.
- Competent authorities, where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
5.1 We also disclose personal data to our group companies for the purposes described in this policy, and to an actual or prospective purchaser, investor or funder in connection with a corporate transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections. We disclose personal data to third parties only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable law. We do not sell personal data, and we do not permit third parties to use personal data for their own independent marketing purposes except where expressly disclosed to you.
6. International transfers
6.1 Personal data is generally stored and processed on secure servers located in or near the region in which our services are provided. Personal data may also be processed or accessed from other countries, including countries which do not provide an equivalent level of protection. Where we transfer personal data outside the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, we implement appropriate safeguards as required by applicable data protection laws, including reliance on adequacy decisions, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (as amended by the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or adapted for Switzerland where relevant), or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms. You may request further information about those safeguards, and a copy of the relevant mechanism, using the contact details in clause 10.
7. Retention Period
7.1 We retain personal data only for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting obligations, or for as long as necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Once the retention period expires, or upon a valid deletion request, personal data will be securely deleted or permanently anonymised. Where immediate deletion is not possible, for example because the data is held in backup archives, we will securely store the data and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.
7.2 Security. We maintain technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures are described at a general level in the technical and organisational measures annexed to our Data Protection Terms, and are kept under review.
8. Your rights
8.1 Subject to the conditions in applicable law, you have the right to request access to your personal data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
8.2 We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we may decline or charge for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive. Exercising your rights will not result in any detriment to you. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Cyprus or with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence or place of work.
8.3 Additional rights in certain jurisdictions. Depending on where you are located, you may have additional or different rights under local law, including rights to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or of targeted advertising, rights relating to sensitive personal information, and rights of appeal against our decision on a request. Where such rights apply, they are described in the Regional Annex to this policy, which forms part of it. In the event of conflict between this policy and the Regional Annex, the Regional Annex prevails in respect of the jurisdiction to which it relates.
9. Cookies and similar technologies
9.1 We use cookies and similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, on our website. In this clause we refer to all of them as "cookies". This clause applies to our website only. It does not apply to cookies, software development kits or similar technologies used in the apps and websites of our publishing partners in connection with advertising delivered through our platform; those are described in our End-User Privacy Notice, and any consent required for them is obtained by the operator of the app or website concerned.
9.2 We group the cookies we use into four categories. Strictly necessary cookies are required to operate the website and to keep your session secure, and include the cookie that records the choices you make in our cookie banner; they are set automatically and do not require your consent. Preference cookies remember settings such as language or region. Analytics cookies allow us to recognise and count visitors and to see how visitors move around the website, which helps us improve the way it works. Marketing cookies measure the effectiveness of our own marketing and, where applicable, allow us to show you our advertising elsewhere. Preference, analytics and marketing cookies require your consent.
9.3 Cookies in the preference, analytics and marketing categories are set only after you have given your consent through the banner shown on your first visit. Until you give consent, only strictly necessary cookies are set. You may consent to some categories and not others. A current list of the cookies used on the website, showing who sets each one, what it does and how long it remains on your device, is available in the preference centre reached from that banner and from the cookie settings link in the footer of every page.
9.4 You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
9.5 You may also be able to refuse or disable cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Because each browser is different, please consult the instructions provided by your browser. Browser settings are not a substitute for the choice you make in our banner, and your selection is specific to the browser or device you are using when you make it, so you may need to make it separately on each browser or device. If you refuse, disable or delete cookies, some functionality of the website may no longer be available to you. Where required by applicable law, we also recognise and act on opt-out preference signals sent from your browser, such as Global Privacy Control.
9.6 Where a third party sets a cookie on our website, that party processes the information it collects for its own purposes and under its own privacy policy. Clause 6 applies to any transfer of personal data collected through cookies outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland.
