Privacy Notice – Introducers (last update: 09.04.19)

Under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation personal data is defined as:

 

‘any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject).'

To enable you to introduce potential customers to us, and for us to remunerate you for successful introductions made, we need to collect personal data limited to contact details and bank account information. Failure to provide this information may result in us being unable to facilitate the payment of the introduction fee. Therefore, processing your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you have entered into, or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.

 

We will not share any of the information you have provided with any third-parties for marketing purposes or store any of your information outside of the European Economic Area.

 

In any event, we are committed to ensuring that the information we collect and use is appropriate for this purpose, and does not constitute an invasion of your privacy.

We may pass your personal data onto third-party service providers contracted to Pay4 to support us in maintaining Introducer Agreement services. Any third parties that we may share your data with are obliged to keep your details secure, and to use them only to support the fulfilment of the service we provide to you. When they no longer need your data to fulfil this service, they will dispose of the details in line with Pay4’s procedures. The third-party entities we pass your information onto are as follows:

Personal data may be held in addition to these periods depending on individual business needs. It is the introducers responsibility to notify  Pay4 when they no longer intend to provide referrals to us. This will then result in the end of our relationship and the point at which the record retention period commences. Details of our record retention schedule is available on request from our Data Protection Representative (detailed below).
