company established in Ireland and regulated for data protection purposes by the Data

Please note that where data is transferred outside of the EEA, these countries may not offer

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 personal data is
transferred to;
- having suitable contract terms in place that oblige a data processor to only
process in accordance with our instructions;

Conditions that apply as applicable with respect to our services, for the provision of

o 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;
o 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.
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
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.
(iii) 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.
You have several rights in relation to your personal data which are described in more detail
below. You can exercise your rights at any time.
For requests related to deleting your personal data or receiving a copy of your personal data,
you can contact us at any time by using this online form.
For additional queries related to privacy and personal data you can contact our Data
Protection Officer at DPO@payoneer.com.

have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it outside of the
EEA 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.
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.
• 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;
• 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.
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.
You have a right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. This request
will befree of charge. It is not an absolute right, but you can object to our processing of your
personal data where it is:
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:
• we are processing the personal data either based on your consent or because it is
necessary for the performance of a contract; and
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. In certain
circumstances where automated decision making is used, you will be provided with an opt-
out option by way of an alternative means of processing.
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
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.
