Your information may also be used to contact you about your account, your use of the Services, to alert you to potential problems, as well as to respond to your questions to us. We also use this information to provide you with information about other products we or selected third parties offer which are similar to the ones you have used or exhibited interest in, or we think may be of interest to you. If you use one of our financial products, we will also use your information to assess your financial situation and to try to identify and prosecute possible frauds and other abuses of the financial system. For more details and examples, please review the comprehensive privacy notice.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We will not disclose your personal information to anyone except as described in this notice and the comprehensive privacy notice.
We may share your personal information with any company in the Paysafe Group of companies.
Your personal information (as necessary, but generally limited to full name and email address) may be shared with the recipient/sender of a payment in the context of the specific relevant transaction. We may share your personal information with third parties to provide you with the products we offer, including service providers, credit reference agencies and financial institutions.

For more details, please review the comprehensive privacy notice.
WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND DATA SECURITY
The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored at and processed by recipients located in destinations outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). These countries may have data protection standards that are different to (and, in some cases, lower than) those of the territory in which you reside. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipients will use and protect your information in a secure manner.
If we have given you (or if you have chosen) a password, access code or any other secure means or access or authentication which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential and complying with our instructions. You must not share credentials with anyone else, and you authorise Paysafe to act upon instructions and information from any person that enters your credentials.
The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site, unless you are communicating with us through a secure channel that we have provided. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
YOUR RIGHTS
Where applicable, you may have certain rights under data protection legislation, including the right to access, correct, update or delete your personal information; object to or restrict its processing; request to transfer certain of your personal information to another service provider (so called, data portability); or to revoke any consent you have given.
However, please note that there are exceptions to those rights. For the full explanation of the rights available, including further information on data retention, purposes of processing, types of personal information processed, CCPA rights for California residents and how we strive to keep your personal information safe, please refer to the comprehensive privacy notice. Privacy laws continue to develop and if you think or are unsure as to whether any right may apply to you, please also contact us, so we can assess and advise.
AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING
Automated decisions mean that a decision concerning you is made automatically on the basis of a computer determination (using software algorithms), without our human review.
For example, we may use automated decisions to complete a credit assessment on you when you apply for certain financial services of Paysafe, or to carry out anti-fraud checks on the transactions you perform. However, if you are in the EEA, you have the right to object the automated decision and have it manually reviewed based also on information that you can provide.
Please refer to the comprehensive privacy notice for more details. You can contact us at the details below to exercise your right.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
We will generally process your personal information based on one of the following grounds:
- On the basis of your consent, for example to send you marketing messages to the extent consent is required by law;
- Where necessary to enter into a contract with you and perform our obligations under that contract;
- Where we have a legitimate interest, subject to such processing not overriding your own rights and freedoms;
- Where we have a legal obligation to collect your personal information or otherwise need your Personal Information to protect your vital interests or those of another person; or
- Exceptionally, when necessary in the public interest, for example when law enforcement agencies request information to investigate a crime.
For more details and examples, please review the comprehensive privacy notice.
