Data we process when you sign up to become a merchant

If you sign up to become one of our merchants, we collect information we need to establish and perform a contract with you, including your contact information, address and, order details, tax information and payment details. We use this information to set up our products and services for you, including to provide you with support, boarding, integration, installation, helping you with settings, POS terminal field services, installation of POS terminals in stores and to pick up old/damaged POS terminals, and other actions which need to be taken to establish or perform our contract with you.

We also collect data about your use of our products and services and your customer area account, including your login details, and the questions, queries, comments and complaints you send us in relation to our business relationship. We process this data to be able to perform our contract with you by following up with you and providing you with support and for our legitimate interest of being able to optimize and improve our products and services, including our customer area.

We can also use your (company) e-mail address for keeping you up to date on our products and services and to make you offers tailored to your needs (meaning of similar products and services you have already purchased from us).

We have an obligation to act in compliance with national and international laws, regulations and sanctions and to prevent laundering proceeds of crime or financing terrorism. As we are active in the financial sector, we are not allowed to accept just any merchant without checking them and we have to determine and report when suspicious transactions take place. Therefore, if you are applying to become one of our merchants, we will often need to collect information and documents to:

  • verify your identity;
  • identify the ultimate beneficial owners of your business;
  • identify the purpose and intended nature of your future business relationship with us;
  • monitor your transactions using automated systems which detect risks and verify the origins of your capital/assets;
  • check whether a natural person representing you is competent to do so (and verify the identity of this person); and
  • check whether you act on behalf of yourself or on behalf of a third party.

To carry out the above checks, we process a copy of your identification document, the address of your legal representative and shareholders, your bank account number, your contact information, information contained in correspondence between us, bank statements, your signature and an extract of your company registration document. We use this data to ensure the safety and integrity of the financial sector by aiming to identify, prevent and counter illegal conduct and to comply with our legal know-your-customer and anti-money laundering obligations.

Other purposes

If necessary, we can also process any of your information above for our legitimate interest of protecting our legal rights, for example in connection with legal claims, and when we have a legal obligation to process your information. We may also transfer your data in the event of a company reorganization, merger, or sale.

How long do we keep your information?

We will always only keep your data for as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes listed above.

For example, data about your use of this app or visits to our website will be retained until your use or browsing session ends, except where it concerns data collected for the analytical and marketing purposes specified above. In those cases, we will keep your information for 1 year after collection. If you become one of our merchants, we will keep all data relating to our business relationship until 7 years after the end of your contract with us or until our rejection your application. Data we have collected in relation to our legal obligation to verify our merchants will be kept by us for as long as we are legally obligated to, which is generally at least 7 years after end of relationship.

We store the information that we process as a result of you describing to our newsletters or because you have consented to receive information about our products and services or about offers until you decide you would no longer like to receive these mailings.

Data about any questions, comments or support requests you have made us if you are not a merchant, will be kept for 2 years.

The retention terms above can be longer if we are required to keep data longer on the basis of applicable law or to administer our business. If we need to keep any information longer for our legitimate interest of protecting our legal rights, we will keep the necessary information for this purpose until the relevant claim(s) has/have been settled.
