Legal bases for processing your personal data

We process your personal information based on the following legal bases, as recognised by and in compliance with the applicable data protection laws:

the processing is necessary to perform our contract with you (i.e. the Terms and Conditions that apply as applicable with respect to our services, for the provision of our services), or to take steps requested by you before entering into said contract;
- you are obliged to provide us with personal data as it is necessary to enter into and perform our contractual agreements. In the event that you do not wish to provide us with your personal data for the purposes outlined above in the “HOW AND WHY WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?” section, we will not be able to perform our contractual agreement with you;
the processing is in Payoneer’s or someone else’s legitimate interests, and these interests are not overridden by your interests or rights in the protection of your personal data. This may include processing your data for identification or prevention of suspicious or high risk transactions or fraudulent activity, internal research and analytics assessments, for purposes of communication with you, and informing you about new products and services we are offering or to promote new products and services of other parties which we think may be of interest to you, etc.;
- before we process your personal data to pursue our legitimate interests for the purposes outlined above in the “HOW AND WHY WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?” section, we determine if such processing is necessary and we carefully consider the impact of our processing activities on your fundamental rights and freedoms. On balance, we have determined that such processing is necessary for our legitimate interests and that the processing which we conduct does not adversely impact on these rights and freedoms.
you have given your consent to the processing of your data;
the processing is necessary to meet a legal obligation which applies to Payoneer.

Sometimes we process data about you which the law considers to fall within special categories (see section “HOW, WHEN AND WHAT WE COLLECT?” for more details), in which case, we use one of the following grounds:

the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
you have freely given your informed, specific consent to the processing; or
the processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, based on applicable law.

If you would like more information about the legal grounds used to process your information, or about the legitimate interests referred to above, please contact us.

In cases where we have asked for, and you have given, your consent to our processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time. You can do this by contacting our DPO at DPO@payoneer.com.

Do you have to give us your personal information?

In most cases, providing your personal data to us is optional, however, if you do not provide it, you will not be able to use our Services. For example, we need details such as your name, address and bank account details so that we can make payments to you and receive payments from you. In other cases, you have a choice over whether we collect your personal data, for example, you can turn off cookies on your browser and we will not place any cookies on your device or computer (although in this case you may not be able to use all parts of our websites).

Profiling and automated decision making

We may use automated decision making as part of our process to evaluate eligibility for the use of our services. Such decision-making processes are solely automated and do not require human intervention. We use these tools as a measure of fraud prevention and for the purposes of security and risk assessment relating to the performance of our services, to comply with applicable “Anti Money Laundering” (AML) and “Know Your Customer” (KYC) rules and to verify your identity when you become a customer, including for example:

Automated tools incorporated in our process of approval of your registration application: based on the information you provide, the tool may advise if additional information is required for purpose of approval of your application.
Automated tools incorporated in our process of approval of certain payment transaction of registered users: such tools may advise if additional information is required for purpose of performance of the payment transaction.
Automated tools used to verify your identity to enable us to comply with AML and KYC rules applicable to us as a financial services provider. For example, we carry out this process using selfies (self-photographs) and other forms of ID when you register to open an account with us and may also use tools that scan documents for authenticity, classify documents into types, extract required information from the document, approve or decline the sufficiency of documents you submit and determine if additional information or documents are required.

You have certain rights in respect of automated decision making, where the decision taken has significant effects on you, as detailed below in the “YOUR RIGHTS UNDER GDPR” section.

How long do we keep your personal information?

Payoneer retains your personal data for the duration of your engagement with us and for a period following termination of your engagement with us, as required by applicable laws or regulations and/or in accordance with Payoneer’s internal policies and procedures for purposes of prevention of fraudulent activity, risk management and security.

Accessing your data

You can ask us to:

Confirm whether we are processing your personal data.
Give you a copy of that personal data.
Provide you with other information about your personal data such as what data we have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it outside of the EEA/UK and how we protect it, how long we keep it for, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we got your data from and whether we carry out any automated decision making or profiling. We aim to give you all this information in this Policy, although if anything is unclear, please contact our Data Protection Officer at DPO@payoneer.com.

You do not have to pay a fee for a copy of your personal information unless your request is unfounded, respective or excessive, in which case we will charge a reasonable amount in the circumstances. We will let you know of any charges before completing your request.

Correcting your personal data

You can ask us to correct any personal data which is inaccurate or incomplete. This is free of charge.

If we have disclosed the personal data to anyone else, we will tell them about the correction wherever possible.

If we cannot action a request to correct your personal data, we will let you know and explain why this is.

Erasing your personal data

This right is sometimes referred to as “the right to be forgotten”. This is not an absolute right but you have the right to have your data erased, free of charge, in certain circumstances.

You can ask for your personal data to be erased where:

it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed;
we are processing your personal data based on your consent, and you withdraw that consent;
you object to the processing and we do not have an overriding legitimate interest for continuing;
your personal data has been unlawfully processed;
your personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation;
the personal data was processed to offer information society services to a child.

There are some exceptions to this right. If one of these applies, we do not have to delete the personal data.

If we have disclosed your personal data to third parties, we will tell them about the erasure of your data unless this is impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.

Please note, in connection with such requests, that personal data may be either deleted or retained in an aggregated manner without being linked to any identifiers or personal data, depending on technical commercial capability.

Restricting the processing of your personal data

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in some circumstances, free of charge. This is not an absolute right. If processing is restricted we can store the personal data and retain enough information to make sure the restriction is respected unless you consent or the processing is necessary in relation to a legal claim or to protect the rights of another person or for reasons of important public interest, but we cannot further process your personal data.

You can restrict the processing of your personal data in the following cases:

if you contest the accuracy of your personal data, we will restrict processing until we have made sure the personal data is accurate;
if you object to our processing pending the verification of whether or not our legitimate interests override your interests, rights and freedoms or in connection with legal proceedings;
if the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase your personal data;
if we no longer need the personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

If we have disclosed the data to a third party, we will inform them about the restriction unless it is impossible or would require a disproportionate effort. We will tell you if we decide to lift a restriction on processing your personal data.

Objecting to the processing of your personal data

based on the legitimate interest ground; or
for the purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics.

We will stop processing your personal data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests and rights, or unless we are processing the personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You can require us to stop using your personal data for direct marketing purposes. We will stop as soon as we receive your request. There are no exemptions or reasons for us to refuse.

Data Portability

This allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. It applies where the following conditions are met:

you provided the personal data to us yourself;
we are processing the personal data either based on your consent or because it is necessary for the performance of a contract; and
the processing is carried out by automated means.

We will provide your personal data free of charge in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing and which produces a legal (or similarly significant) effect on you.

We will tell you about any automated decision making that affects you. You have the right to:

These rights are not absolute. We may not be able to comply with your request to obtain human intervention, obtain your point of view or to contest a decision, if the processing of personal data is:

authorised by law (e.g. for fraud prevention) and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your right, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
based on your explicit consent.

Dealing with requests to exercise your rights

We will respond to your request without undue delay at the latest within one (1) month of receiving your request unless it is particularly complicated or you have made several requests, in which case we may extend this by two (2) months. We will let you know if we are going to take longer than one (1) month in dealing with your request. If we have a lot of information about you we might ask you if you can tell us what exactly you want to receive. This will help us action your request more quickly.

For the purpose of complying with your requests to exercise the rights listed above, we shall perform the necessary internal processes to identify you.

Appendix 2: Additional terms for Australian residents

We are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and other laws that govern the handling of personal information.

Notwithstanding anything else in our Privacy Policy, for our Australian customers only, the Privacy Policy shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Victoria, Australia, and any dispute hereunder shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Victoria.

We may also disclose such information as required or permitted by any law, for example to meet our obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth).

You may request to access or correct any personal information we hold about you. We will provide our reasons if we deny any request for access to or correction of personal information.

Nonetheless, Payoneer will take various measures to ensure that your data is treated securely, which may include, but not be limited to:

assessing the security measures taken at any place your data is transferred to;
having suitable contract terms in place that oblige a data processor to only process in accordance with our instructions; and
having monitoring, reporting and resolution procedures in place with regard to ongoing security.

This may also include information about your arrangements with other credit providers as well as with us.

We may disclose some of these types of information to CRBs. CRBs may use credit-related personal information to maintain records on individuals which they may disclose to other credit providers for those providers’ own credit assessments.

We will notify you of the CRBs that we use.

We may also be required to check the validity of your identification documents with the Australia Document Verification Service (DVS).

Where you express any concerns that we have interfered with your privacy or conducted ourselves inconsistently with this Policy, we will respond to let you know who will be handling your matter and when you can expect a further response. We aim to resolve your concerns in a fair and efficient manner within 30 days.

Appendix 3: Additional terms for state of California residents

The information below is required under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended, including by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 and the California Consumer Privacy Act Regulations, each as amended (together, the “CCPA”)). The terms below apply to residents in the State of California in addition to the terms in the rest of the Policy. These terms below do not address or apply to our handling of personal information that is exempt under the CCPA.

Information collection, use and disclosure

Categories of Personal Information Collected and Disclosed

While our processing of personal information varies based upon our relationship and interactions with you, we describe generally, the categories of personal information (as defined by the CCPA) that we have collected about California residents, as well as the categories of third parties to whom we may disclose that information for a business or commercial purpose above under “HOW, WHEN AND WHAT WE COLLECT?” and “How and Why We Disclose Your Information” in the main part of the Policy under the heading “WHEN DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION?”.

In addition, where we use, disclose or process de-identified data (data that is no longer reasonably linked or linkable to an identified or identifiable natural person, household, or personal or household device) we will maintain and use the information in de-identified form and not attempt to re-identify the information, except in order to determine whether our de-identification processes are reasonable and adequate pursuant to applicable privacy laws.

Sources of Personal Information
In general, we may collect personal information directly from you, from other customers and users of our services, from advertising networks and from providers of data analytics.

Purposes of Collection, Use and Disclosure
As described in more detail above under “How and Why We Disclose Your Information” in the main part of the Policy under the heading “WHEN DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION?”, we collect, use, disclose and otherwise process personal information for the following business and commercial purposes and as otherwise directed by you:

Services and support.
Analytics and improvement.
Customization and personalization.
Marketing and advertising.
Planning and managing events.
Research and surveys.
Security and protection of rights.
Legal proceedings and obligations.
To process job applications.
In support of business transfers (e.g., if we are acquired by another company).

Notwithstanding the above, we only use and disclose sensitive personal information as reasonably necessary (i) to perform our services requested by you, (ii) to help ensure security and integrity, including to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents, (iii) to detect, prevent and respond to malicious, fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal conduct, (iv) to verify or maintain the quality and safety of our services, (v) for compliance with our legal obligations, (vi) to our service providers who perform services on our behalf, and (vii) for purposes other than inferring characteristics about you.

Does payoneer “sell” or “share” personal information under the ccpa?

The CCPA defines “sale” as disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, under the CCPA’s broad definitions we may be considered to be “selling” or “sharing” personal information because we use third party advertising and analytics tools. Therefore, we may be considered as “selling” or “sharing” the following categories of personal information with third parties, such as social networks, and advertising and analytics services vendors, through our use of cookies and other online tracking tools: Identifiers, Internet or Other Similar Network Activity; Device Information. We do so to advertise our products and services and to collect and analyze certain information about your online activity. You can opt out by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link here. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, nor do we sell or share any personal information about individuals who we know are under sixteen (16) years old.

Profiling and automated decision making

We may use automated decision making as part of our process to evaluate eligibility for the use of our services.

We use these tools as a measure of fraud prevention and for the purposes of security and risk assessment relating to the performance of our services, to comply with applicable “Anti Money Laundering” (AML) and “Know Your Customer” (KYC) rules and to verify your identity when you become a customer, including for example:

Automated tools incorporated in our process of approval of certain payment transaction of registered users: such tools may advise if additional information is required for purpose of performance of the payment transaction.
