• If we are defending a legal claim, your information may be transferred as required in relation to defending such claim.

Your Personal Data may be shared if it is made anonymous and aggregated, as in such circumstances the information will cease to be Personal Data.

Your information will not be sold, exchanged or shared with any third parties without your consent, except to provide Paynote Services or as required by law.

Paynote’s third-party Service providers are contractually bound to protect and use such information only for the purposes for which it was disclosed, except as otherwise required or permitted by law. We ensure that such third parties will be bound by terms complying with DP Law.

• Compelled by court order or other legal procedure;
• Disclosure is necessary to report suspected illegal activity; or
• Disclosure is necessary to investigate violations of this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use.

We store and process your Personal Data in data centers around the world, where Paynote facilities or Service providers are located. Such transfers are undertaken in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations, and appropriate safeguards under DP Law will be implemented, such as standard data protection clauses, with data recipients or processors approved by competent authorities. A description of appropriate safeguards may be requested at the address set out in the Contact Us section.

YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS

You have certain rights concerning your Personal Data under DP Law, as mentioned below, and can exercise them by contacting us at [email protected]

Access: you are entitled to ask us if we are processing your information and, if we are, you can request access to your Personal Data. This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold on you and certain other information about it to check that we are processing it lawfully. We process a large quantity of information and can thus request, in accordance with DP Law, that before the information is delivered, you specify the information or processing activities to which your request relates.

Correction: you are entitled to request that any incomplete or inaccurate Personal Data we hold about you is corrected.

Erasure: you are entitled to ask us to dеlete or remove Personal Data in certain circumstances. There are also certain exceptions where we may refuse a request for erasure; for example, where the Personal Data is required for compliance with law or in connection with claims.

Restriction: you are entitled to ask us to suspend the processing of certain parts of your Personal Data; for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or disclose the reason for processing it.

Transfer: you may request the transfer of a certain part of your Personal Data to another party.

Objection: where we are processing your Personal Data based on a legitimate interest (or that of a third-party) you may challenge this. However, we may be entitled to continue processing your information based on our legitimate interests or where this is relevant to legal claims. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.

Automated decisions: you may contest any automated decision made about you where this has a legally or similarly significant effect and ask for it to be reconsidered.

Where you have given consent to a particular processing, you have the right to withdraw such consent by email at [email protected]. Note that such withdrawal will only be effective for the future and that, according to DP Law, it does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent given before such withdrawal.

SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA

We use a variety of security measures to ensure the confidentiality of your Personal Data, and to protect your Personal Data from loss, theft, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or destruction. These security measures inсlude, but are not limited to:

• Password protected directories and databases;
• Secure Sockets Layered (SSL) technology to ensure that your information is fully encrypted and sent across the Internet securely; and
• PCI Scanning to actively protect our servers from hackers and other vulnerabilities.

All financially sensitive and/or credit information is transmitted via SSL technology and encrypted in our database. Only authorised Paynote personnel are permitted access to your Personal Data, and these personnel are required to treat the information as highly confidential. The security measures will be reviewed regularly in light of new and relevant legal and technical developments.

We do not ask for financial or payment information, such as your credit card number, passcode, account number or pin number, in an e-mail, text or any other form communication that we use to contact you. Please always check that any website on which you are asked for financial or payment information in relation to our reservations or Services is operated by Paynote. If you do receive a suspicious request, do not provide your information and report it by contacting one of our Service representatives as set in this Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for keeping your Account passcode, membership numbers and pin numbers safe and secure. Do not share those with anyone. If there is an unauthorised use or any other breach of security involving your information, you must notify us as soon as possible (see Contact Us).

RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA

We retain Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to our own legal and regulatory obligations. The criteria we may use to determine the retention period for certain categories of data inсlude:

• How long you have been a Paynote member;
• Whether there are contractual or legal obligations that exist that require us to retain the data for a certain period of time;
• Whether there is any ongoing legal or financial claim that relates to your relationship with us;
• Whether any applicable law, statute or regulation allows for a specific retention period; and
• What the expectation for retention was at the time the data was provided to us.

In accordance with our record-keeping obligations, we will retain Account and other Personal Data for at least five years (in some cases up to ten years, as required by applicable law) after an Account is closed.
