Jointly referred to as "Group Companies", “We”, “Our”.

Your Privacy is important to us!

We recognize that your privacy is very important to you and that it is your right to control and be informed about the information we process about you and how we process it. We know that providing personal data is an act of trust and we take that trust seriously. We will never sell, rent, or otherwise disclose your personal data, except as outlined in the Privacy and Cookie Policy, provided that we have an appropriate legal basis for such disclosure. 

By registering for the free trial of our solution or committing for our paid Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This is our entire and exclusive Privacy Policy and it supersedes any earlier version. This Privacy Policy forms part of and should be read in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions as applicable for the model of Services offered (be it for our free trial, available here or as appended to the SaaS agreement regarding our paid Services).

1. Categories of personal data

Conclusion and performance of the Terms and Conditions involve personal data processing (name, surname, job title, corporate e-mail address) of natural persons (your proxies, representatives, employees, contractors, etc.) transferred by the Client to Nethone. This can include personal data of the Client himself/herself when a Client is a natural person. We process your personal data provided at the point of registration (name, surname, e-mail address) for the purpose of enabling your user access to our services. 

Insofar as the performance of the Terms and Conditions involves the processing of personal data of Client’s representatives, employees, contractors, etc., the Client acknowledges that this Privacy Policy is applicable to such processing and undertakes to provide such representatives, employees, contractors, etc. with its content.

2. Purposes and legal basis

The processing of such data by Nethone and the joint controllers is necessary for the purpose of managing our client relationship, concluding and performing the Terms and Conditions (including contacting for marketing purposes, unless Nethone receives an objection to such processing), as well as exercising all the rights and obligations relating to the performance of the Terms and Conditions.

In processing your data, we pursue our legitimate interest in (i) direct marketing of our services, (ii) enabling the provision of our services based on the Terms and Conditions, (iii) exercising our contractual and legal rights and obligations. If the Client is a natural person, we process the personal data based on the contract, i.e. the processing is necessary for the conclusion and performance of the contract, to which the data subject is a party.

Provision of personal data is voluntary, but if you don’t provide us with the basic personal data, we will not be able to conclude the Terms and Conditions with the Client or contact the Client in connection with the provision of services pursuant to the Terms and Conditions.

3. Your rights

You have the right to object to the processing of your data by us and to request that we correct or delete your data. If you file such a request we will stop processing your data and delete it, unless there exists an important overriding legal interest (e.g. defense of claims or existence of a legal obligation to retain the data) that will entitle us to keep your data for a longer period. You also have the right of access to your data, as well as the right to data portability and to restriction of the processing.

4. Retention periods 

We process your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes, for which it was collected. As a general rule, we will process personal data for as long as we have a contractual relationship with the Client and/or for as long as you remain the contact person or employee/contractor of the Client, whichever is the earliest. We will also process the data after the termination of the contractual relationship, for the duration of the statutory period of 3 years. We may have to process personal data for a longer period of time in limited circumstances, i.e. in case we need to defend against legal claims.

5. Sharing your personal data with third parties

We entrust the processing of your personal data to entities, which act on our behalf and solely based on our instructions (data processors). In particular, we use data processors, whom we select carefully, to store your data on secure servers located within the territory of the EU. In the event that personal data is entrusted for further processing to subprocessors outside the EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards (in particular Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place to ensure the legality of such transfer and the security of your data.

We may have to share your personal data with competent authorities (in particular the police or prosecution service), if they approach us with such a request, provided that there exists an appropriate legal basis for making your personal data available to them (e.g. a court order).

6. Responsibilities of joint controllers

As joint controllers, Group Companies jointly determined their respective responsibilities for compliance with data protection obligations. In particular, the Group Companies have decided that Mangopay S.A. and Nethone, as the case may be, are responsible for:

  • fulfilling information obligations on behalf of joint controllers;
  • ensuring legal basis for data transfers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), should Group Companies decide to entrust the processing of data to entities located in a third country;
  • conclusion of data processing agreements when data are entrusted to processors;
  • acting as a common point of contact for individuals whose data are processed. 
All the other obligations remain with individual Group Companies as data controllers. 

7. Contact

If you have any questions with regard to the processing of your data by us or if you wish to exercise your rights, you can contact our data protection officer, Michał Madej, at privacy@nethone.com or any of our joint controllers at dpo.mangopay@mangopay.com. You also have the right to file a complaint to the data protection authority.

8. Modification of the Policy

We may periodically be required to make changes to our Privacy Policy (for example if we substantially change the way our Services or the Website functions, or following legislative changes). We will notify you of these changes by posting the modified Privacy Policy on the Website. If the changes are substantial, we will also notify you by e-mail. We recommend that you revisit this Privacy Policy regularly. You may determine when this Privacy Policy was last updated by referring to the date found at the top of the first page of this Privacy Policy.
