TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We provide a payments platform and related services for businesses.  In that capacity we receive personal information from our customers and process that information on behalf of our customers.  In other situations, we receive personal information for our own use. Personal information generally refers to any information that can be linked to an identified or identifiable natural person.  The following provides examples of the types of information that we collect and how we use that information.

Information you provide.  When you apply to send or receive payments through our platform or otherwise connect your financial accounts through Finexio, where applicable, we collect identifiers and login information required by the provider of your account, such as your username and password, or a security token.  In some cases, we also collect your phone number, email address, security questions and answers, and one-time password (OTP) to help verify your identity before connecting your financial accounts.  When providing this information, you give Finexio the authority to act on your behalf to access and transmit your information from the relevant bank or other entity that provides your financial accounts (we’ll call them “financial product and service providers” in this Notice).  You may also provide us with identifiers and other information, including your name, email address, and phone number, when you contact us or enter any such information on our Sites, and such information about persons you intend to pay or from whom you expect payment.

Information we collect from your financial accounts. The information we receive from the financial product and service providers that maintain your financial accounts varies depending on a number of factors, including the specific Finexio products or services being used, as well as the information made available by those providers.  But, in general, we collect the following types of identifiers, commercial information, and other personal information from your financial product and service providers:

  • Account information, including financial institution name, account name, account type, account ownership, branch number, IBAN, BIC, account number, routing number, and sort code;
  • Information about an account balance, including current and available balance;
  • Identifiers and information about the account owner(s), including name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and address information; and
  • Information about account transactions, including amount, date, payee, type, quantity, price, location, and a description of the transaction.

Information we receive from your devices. When you use your device to connect to our Site, platform, or services, we receive identifiers and electronic network activity information about that device, including internet protocol (IP) address, timezone setting and location, device location, hardware model, operating system, which features within our services you access, browser data, and other technical information about the device.  We also use cookies or similar tracking technologies to collect usage statistics and to help us provide and improve our services.  For more information relating to the use of such tools, review our “Cookie and Similar Tracking Technologies” section below.

Information we receive about you from other sources. We also receive identifiers and commercial information about you directly from other users of our services or other third parties, including our bank partners and service providers.  For example, other users attempting to make payments to you using our services may provide information such as your full name, email address, phone number, or information about your financial accounts and account transactions, and our bank partners or service providers may provide information such as the status of a transaction you have initiated.

Inferences we derive from the data we collect. We may use the information we collect about you to derive inferences.  For example, we may infer your location or your annual income or revenue based on the information we have collected about you from you or other sources.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your personal information for a number of business and commercial purposes, including to operate, improve, and protect the services we provide, and to develop new services.  More specifically, we use your personal information:

  • To operate, provide, and maintain our services;
  • To improve, enhance, modify, add to, and further develop our services;
  • To detect, prevent, and protect you, our partners, Finexio, and others from fraud, malicious activity, and other privacy and security-related concerns;
  • To develop new services;
  • To provide customer support to you or our customers , including to help respond to your inquiries related to our services, or other requests;
  • To send marketing and promotional materials, including information relating to our products, services, or special promotions;

  • To comply with contractual and legal obligations under applicable law and/or protect our legal interests and rights;
  • To enforce, establish, or exercise rights described in the service terms that apply to our products and services; and
  • For other notified purposes with your consent.

Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your information, in many situations we have more than one purpose.  For example, we may collect your information to perform our contract with you, but we also collect your information because we have a legitimate interest in understanding who our customers are and what services we perform on their behalf.
