AnyonePay Privacy Policy

• Overview

  AnyonePay adheres to the Republic Act 10173 – Data Privacy Act of 2012. It has developed this Privacy Statement to explain how we may collect, retain, process, share and transfer your Personal Data when you visit our Sites or use our Services. This Privacy Statement applies to your Personal Data when you visit Sites or use Services, and does not apply to online websites or services that we do not own or control, including websites or services of other AnyonePay Users.

  This Privacy Statement is designed to help you obtain information about our privacy practices and to help you understand your privacy choices when you use our Sites and Services.

  We have defined some terms that we use throughout the Privacy Statement. You can find the meaning of a capitalized term in the Definitions section.

  Please contact us if you have questions about our privacy practices that are not addressed in this Privacy Statement.

• What Personal Data Do We Collect?

  We may collect information about you when you visit our Sites or use our Services, including the following:

  • Registration and use information – When you register to use our Services by establishing an Account, we will collect Personal Data as necessary to offer and fulfill the Services you request. Depending on the Services you choose, we may require you to provide us with your name, postal address, telephone number, email address and identification information to establish an Account. We may require you to provide us with additional Personal Data as you use our Services.

  • Transaction and experience information – When you use our Services or access our Sites, for example, to make purchases from merchants, to receive money, to process payments, or to send money to friends and family, we collect information about the transaction, as well as other information associated with the transaction such as amount sent or requested, amount paid for products or services, merchant information, including information about any funding instruments used to complete the transaction, Device Information, Technical Usage Data, and Geolocation Information.

  • Participant information – When you use our Services or access our Sites, we collect Personal Data you provide us about the other participants associated with the transaction.

  • Information that you choose to provide us to obtain additional Services or specific online Services – If you request or participate in an optional Site feature, or request enhanced Services or other elective functionality, we may collect additional information from you. We will provide you with a separate notice at the time of collection, if the use of that information differs from the uses disclosed in this Privacy Statement.

  • Personal Data about you if you use unbranded Services – certain Services are available without being required to log in to or establish an Account. We will collect Personal Data when you are interacting with and making payments to merchants using our card payment services that do not carry the AnyonePay brand and when you checkout with AnyonePay without logging into an account. For our unbranded payment services, your interaction is with the merchant, on their platform. If you are an Account holder, or create an Account at a later date, we may collect information about unbranded transactions and associate them with your Account to improve your customer experience as an Account holder and for compliance and analytics purposes. If you are not an Account holder, we will collect and store all information you provide and use such information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

  • Information about you from third-party sources – We obtain information from third-party sources such as merchants, data providers, and credit bureaus, where permitted by law.

  • Other information we collect related to your use of our Sites or Services – We may collect additional information from or about you when you communicate with us, contact our customer support teams or respond to a survey.

• Why Do We Retain Personal Data?

  We retain Personal Data to fulfill our legal or regulatory obligations and for our business purposes. We may retain Personal Data for 1 year (12 months). If your Account is closed, we may take steps to mask Personal Data and other information, but we reserve our ability to retain and access the data for so long as required to comply with applicable laws. We will continue to use and disclose such Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

• How Do We Process Personal Data?

  We may Process your information for the following reasons:

  • To operate the Sites and provide the Services, including to:

    • initiate a payment

    • authenticate your access to an Account;

    • communicate with you about your Account, the Sites, the Services, or AnyonePay;

    • create an account connection between your Account and a third-party account or platform; and

    • keep your Account and financial information up to date.

  • To manage our business needs, such as monitoring, analyzing, and improving the Services and the Sites’ performance and functionality. For example, we analyze User behavior and perform research about the way you use our Services.

  • To manage risk and protect the Sites, the Services and you from fraud by verifying your identity. AnyonePay’s risk and fraud tools use Personal Data, Device Information, Technical Usage Data and Geolocation Information from our Sites and websites that offer AnyonePay Services to help detect and prevent fraud and abuse of the Services.

  • To market to you about AnyonePay products and Services and the products and services of unaffiliated businesses. We may also Process your Personal Data to uniquely tailor the marketing content and certain Services or Site experiences to better match your interests on AnyonePay and other third-party websites.

  • To provide personalized Services offered by AnyonePay on third-party websites and online services. We may use your Personal Data and other information collected in accordance with this Privacy Statement to provide a targeted display, feature, Services or offer to you on third-party websites. We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to provide these online services and/or work with other third-parties such as merchant’s, advertising or analytics companies to provide these online services.

  • To provide you with location-specific options, functionality or offers if you elect to share your Geolocation Information through the Services. We will use this information to enhance the security of the Sites and Services and provide you with location-based Services, such as advertising, search results, and other personalized content.

  • To comply with our obligations and to enforce the terms of our Sites and Services, including to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

  • To respond to your requests, for example to contact you about a question you submitted to our customer service team.

• Do We Share Personal Data?

  We may share your Personal Data or other information about you with others in a variety of ways as described in this section of the Privacy Statement.

  We may share your Personal Data or other information for the following reasons:

  • With other members of the AnyonePay corporate family: We may share your Personal Data with members of the AnyonePay family of entities to, among other things, provide the Services you have requested or authorized; to manage risk; to help detect and prevent potentially illegal and fraudulent acts and other violations of our policies and agreements; and to help us manage the availability and connectivity of AnyonePay products, Services, and communications.

  • With other companies that provide services to us: We may share Personal Data with third-party service providers that perform services and functions at our direction and on our behalf. These third-party service providers may, for example, provide you with Services, verify your identity, assist in processing transactions, or provide customer support.

  • With other financial institutions: We may share Personal Data with other financial institutions that we have partnered with to jointly create and offer a product. These financial institutions may only use this information to market and offer AnyonePay-related products, unless you have given consent for other uses. We may also share Personal Data to process transactions, provide you with benefits associated with your eligible cards, and keep your financial information up to date.

  • With the other parties to transactions when you use the Services, such as other Users, merchants, and their service providers: We may share information about you and your account with the other parties involved in processing your transactions. This includes other Users you are sending or receiving funds from merchants, and their service providers when you use the Services to pay for goods or services. The information includes:

    • Personal Data and Account information necessary to facilitate the transaction;

    • information to help other participant(s) resolve disputes and detect and prevent fraud; and

    • aggregated data and performance analytics to help merchants better understand Users and to help merchants enhance Users’ experiences.

  • With other third parties for our business purposes or as permitted or required by law: We may share information about you with other parties for AnyonePay’s business purposes or as permitted or required by law, including:

  • With your consent: We also will share your Personal Data and other information with your consent or direction, including if you authorize an account connection with a third-party account or platform.

    In addition, AnyonePay may provide aggregated statistical data to third-parties, including other businesses and members of the public, about how, when, and why Users visit our Sites and use our Services. This data will not personally identify you or provide information about your use of the Sites or Services. We do not share your Personal Data with third parties for their marketing purposes without your consent.

• How Do We Work with Other Services and Platforms?

  A significant benefit and innovation of AnyonePay’s Services is that you can connect your Account with a third-party account or platform. For the purposes of this Privacy Statement, an “account connection” with such a third-party is a connection you authorize or enable between your Account and a non-AnyonePay account, payment instrument, or platform that you lawfully control or own. When you authorize such a connection, AnyonePay and the third-party will exchange your Personal Data and other information directly. Examples of account connections include:

  • linking your Account to a social media account or social messaging service;

  • connecting your Account to a third-party data aggregation or financial services company, if you provide such company with your Account log-in credentials; or

  • using your Account to make payments to a merchant or allowing a merchant to charge your Account.

  If you choose to create an account connection, we may receive information from the third-party about you and your use of the third-party’s service. For example, if you connect your Account to a social media account, we will receive Personal Data from the social media provider via the account connection. If you connect your Account to other financial accounts, directly or through a third-party service provider, we may have access to your account balance and transactional information, such as purchases and funds transfers. We will use all such information that we receive from a third-party via an account connection in a manner consistent with this Privacy Statement.

  Information that we share with a third-party based on an account connection will be used and disclosed in accordance with the third-party’s privacy practices. Before authorizing an account connection, you should review the privacy notice of any third-party that will gain access to your Personal Data as part of the account connection. For example, Personal Data that AnyonePay shares with a third-party account or platform such as a social media account may in turn be shared with certain other parties, including the general public, depending on the account’s or platform’s privacy practices.

• How Do We Use Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

  When you visit our Sites, use our Services, or visit a third-party website for which we provide online Services, we and our business partners and vendors may use cookies and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) to recognize you as a User and to customize your online experiences, the Services you use, and other online content and advertising; measure the effectiveness of promotions and perform analytics; and to mitigate risk, prevent potential fraud, and promote trust and safety across our Sites and Services. Certain aspects and features of our Services and Sites are only available through the use of Cookies, so if you choose to disable or decline Cookies, your use of the Sites and Services may be limited or not possible.

  Do Not Track (DNT) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking by advertisers and other third-parties. We do not respond to DNT signals.

  Please review our Statement on Cookies and Tracking Technologies to learn more about how we use Cookies.

• How Do We Protect Your Personal Data?

  We maintain technical, physical, and administrative security measures designed to provide reasonable protection for your Personal Data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, and alteration. The security measures include firewalls, data encryption, physical access controls to our data centers, and information access authorization controls. While we are dedicated to securing our systems and Services, you are responsible for securing and maintaining the privacy of your password(s) and Account/profile registration information and verifying that the Personal Data we maintain about you is accurate and current. We are not responsible for protecting any Personal Data that we share with a third-party based on an account connection that you have authorized.

• Can Children Use Our Services?

  The Sites and Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information, including Personal Data, from children or other individuals who are not legally able to use our Sites and Services. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected Personal Data from a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete it, unless we are legally obligated to retain such data. Contact us if you believe that we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected information from a child under the age of 13.

• What Else Should You Know?

  Changes to This Privacy Statement.

  We may revise this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect changes to our business, the Sites or Services, or applicable laws. The revised Privacy Statement will be effective as of the published effective date. If the revised version includes a substantial change, we will provide you with 30 days prior notice by posting notice of the change on the “Policy Update” page of our website. We also may notify Users of the change using email or other means.

  Transfers of Your Personal Data to Other Countries

  Our operations are supported by a network of computers, cloud-based servers, and other infrastructure and information technology, including, but not limited to, third-party service providers.
