Such marketing communications will only be sent to you if you gave your consent (when you registered for our services or at another point) and you have not withdrawn such consent or if there is another basis to send such communications to you.

7 – HOW LONG IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA RETAINED?

Personal data is used for different purposes and is subject to different standards and regulations. In general, personal data is retained for as long as necessary to process your enquiry, to comply with applicable legal, accounting or reporting requirements, and to ensure that you have a reasonable opportunity to access the personal data.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the applicable legal requirements, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. For example:

  1. Legal and regulatory requirements. We will retain your personal data if required to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, compliance procedures and legal limitation periods.
  2. Customer service. If you provide us with your personal data, we may (subject to any legal or regulatory considerations) retain your personal data for as long as necessary to deal with your query.
  3. Marketing. Personal data provided to us for marketing purposes may be retained until you opt out or until we become aware the data is inaccurate.

The longest period that data may be retained is currently 7 years.

8 – IS CORRESPONDENCE THAT YOU SEND TO US SAVED?

Yes. If you send us correspondence, including emails, we retain such data along with any records of your account. We may also retain customer service correspondence and other correspondence involving you, us and any company within the Euronet Group, our partners, and our suppliers.

9 – DATA SECURITY

We are committed to maintaining the security of your personal data and have measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the data under our control.

We employ modern and secure techniques to protect our systems from intrusion by unauthorized individuals, and we regularly upgrade our security as better methods become available.

Our datacenters and those of our partners utilize modern physical security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the facility. In addition, all personal data is stored in a secure location behind firewalls and other sophisticated security systems with limited (need-to-know) administrative access.

All our employees who have access to, or are associated with, the processing of personal data are contractually obligated to respect the confidentiality of your data and abide by the privacy standards we have established.

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we cannot (and do not) guarantee the absolute security of personal data.

The Website may offer a news hub, in order for users to read blogs we publish. It is important to remember that any information disclosed in this area becomes public information. Accordingly, as with any public forum, you should exercise extreme caution when deciding whether to disclose your personal information.

10 – WHAT ARE MY DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS?

In certain circumstances (for example, if you are a “data subject” in the EEA), and subject always to verification of your identity, you may request access to and have the opportunity to update and amend your personal data. You may also exercise any other rights you enjoy under applicable data protection laws.

Data subjects in the EEA have the right to:

  1. Request access to any personal data we hold about them (“Subject Access Request”) as well as related data, including the purposes for processing the personal data, the recipients or categories of recipients with whom the personal data has been shared, where possible, the period for which the personal data will be stored, the source of the personal data, and the existence of any automated decision making;
  2. Obtain without undue delay the rectification of any inaccurate personal data we hold about them;
  3. Request that personal data held about them is deleted provided the personal data is not required by an entity of the Euronet Group for compliance with a legal obligation under applicable law or for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim;
  4. Under certain circumstances, prevent or restrict processing of their personal data, except to the extent processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and
  5. Under certain circumstances, request transfer of personal data directly to a third party where this is technically feasible.

Also, where you believe that we have not complied with our obligations under this Privacy Notice or the applicable law, you may have the right to make a complaint to a relevant Data Protection Authority or through the courts.

Although not required, we would encourage you to let us know about any complaint you might have and we will respond in line with our complaints procedure set out in section 11 of this Data Privacy Notice.

11 – DATA PRIVACY COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE

We want to deal with your concerns fairly, effectively and promptly. However, some complaints are more complex than others and may take some time to investigate.

  1. We will acknowledge your complaint promptly after receiving it
  2. We will keep you informed throughout any investigation

In order to assist in the speedy resolution of any complaint you may have, it’s important that we understand your complaint fully. Sometimes this means we may ask you to address your concerns to us in writing. This can be either by email or post to the addresses in section 12 below. We have established internal procedures for investigating any complaint, which may also involve experienced members of staff from Euronet Group considering or investigation the complaint. Where appropriate, the complaint will be dealt with, by someone who was not directly involved in the matter which is the subject of your complaint. The member of staff will either have authority to settle your complaint or will have ready access to someone who has the authority. Our response will fully address the subject matter of your complaint and, if appropriate, will offer redress.

Unless applicable data protection laws require responses within shorter timescales, we will try to resolve any data privacy complaints you have within 30 business days of receiving your complaint; in exceptional circumstances, we will let you know and agree on a response extension.

As noted above, if you are not satisfied with our reply/outcome, or otherwise with the handling of the complaint, you may have the right to lodge a claim before a relevant Data Protection Authority or the courts.
