We will not access or use your mobile device for the provision of the App, including but not limited to the use of your camera, photos or location data.

We only use any data you provide to us via this App for us to provide you with access to the App and do not share it with third parties other than as specified in our agreement with You and/or where you specifically consent to it.

We may use your information (including transactional data) to provide additional information to you regarding the use or acceptance of a product or service, or to determine how to best display this information to you.

The App uses tracking data to track your use off the App. This is used only in relation to the functionality of the App, in particular to identify any issues or faults with the App itself in order to rectify them. We do not track your activity within and outside of the App for any other purpose.

Use of Transactional Data

We will receive transactional data for each card acquiring Merchant ID registered to your email address. Transaction data will be presented one business day after the transactions were conducted and are not real time. Data and insights shall be available for a period of 3 years (or two tax years only), and after this time shall be removed from the App.

Where applicable, certain information or data provided shall be masked in order to comply with PCI compliance obligations.

In order for you to receive or access certain services through the App, we may need to share your data with the relevant third party provider. We will not do this without collecting your express consent each time we share your data.

We ensure that we have suitable contractual safeguards in place with anyone we share your data with to ensure your data is adequately protected.
