4.1 We store personal data about you at our own premises and with the assistance of third-party service providers. We use third party service providers to perform a number of functions on our behalf including to host our platform, to send messaging on our behalf, to provide technical support services and to process transactions for the purchase of goods and services

4.2 Your personal data may be processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA) by our staff or the staff of our third-party service providers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of your support services. We will only transfer your personal data to a country that the European Commission has decided is a country which ensures an adequate level of protection or if we have otherwise provided for other appropriate safeguards to legitimise such data transfers.

4.3 Whenever we share your personal data with third parties, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected under the applicable data protection legislation. By sharing your personal data with us and interacting with the services, you accept the storing, processing and/or transfer described in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 above.

4.4 We take reasonable measures, including administrative, technical and physical safeguards, to protect your personal data from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

4.5 We do not store customer card details, and apply information security practices to keep card data safe as it is in transit through our app.

(A) Whenever you enter your card information into our app, those details are encrypted and passed direct to our payment service providers (“PSP”).

(B) Upon receiving your information, our PSP sends us a token (consisting of random letters and numbers) and small amounts of information about your payment card (the last four digits of the card number, the card type and the expiry date).

(C) The token (not your card details) is then used to effect payments for the products or services you purchase through our app.

(D) To ensure the required level of payment security, we will always use a PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment gateway to store, process and transmit your payment card data.

(E) We reserve the right to change our payments gateway at our sole discretion, provided any such payment gateway meets this security compliance level.
