ifthenpay has invested in adopting administrative, technical, physical and organisational measures that ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the Personal Data collected, appropriate to the risk of each processing activity and consistent with practices established within the European Union. These measures aim to protect Personal Data against accidental or intentional manipulation, disclosure, loss or destruction, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, as well as any other form of unlawful processing.
Partners and subcontractors who have access to Personal Data are required to adopt the necessary organisational and technical security measures and protocols to protect such data.
The Data Subject guarantees that the Personal Data provided is true and accurate and undertakes to notify any changes thereto. Any damage caused to ifthenpay or to any third party through the provision of incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete information in registration forms shall be the sole responsibility of the person who introduced or provided such information.
Our security measures are continuously being improved in line with technological progress. However, we shall decline any responsibility where such acts result from criminal or unlawful conduct, in which case responsibility shall lie with the respective offenders.
5. HOW LONG IS YOUR DATA RETAINED?
We will retain your Data for the maximum period required to comply with applicable legal, regulatory and contractual obligations, and it will be deleted, in accordance with the law, when the Data Subject requests its deletion.
The Data collected within a contractual framework (for example, but not limited to, the provision of payment services) will be retained for the period required by law, namely for tax/accounting purposes and for the safeguarding of contractual guarantees and liabilities.
6. WITH WHOM IS YOUR DATA SHARED?
ifthenpay will not sell, purchase, share or distribute your Personal Data to or from third parties.
The data collected by ifthenpay will only be shared with third parties when strictly necessary to comply with legal and contractual obligations, namely, but not limited to, subcontracted entities, for example, for the provision of accounting services, postal services, IT services, archiving services, judicial or official authorities, lawyers within the scope of any dispute or claim that may arise between the parties, among others, acting on our behalf.
In the case of international data transfers originating from the European Economic Area to a third country or an international organisation for which the European Commission has decided that an adequate level of data protection is ensured, your Personal Data may be transferred on that basis.
For international data transfers to third countries or international organisations for which the European Commission has not recognised an adequate level of protection, we will rely on a derogation applicable to the specific situation (for example, if the transfer is necessary to perform a contract concluded with you, such as when you make an international payment) or implement safeguards to ensure the protection of your personal data:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
- Binding corporate rules
7. LINKS TO EXTERNAL WEBSITES
Our Privacy and Personal Data Protection Policy applies exclusively to our website (website), applications and other digital platforms. However, these platforms may contain links to third-party websites, such as partners and suppliers. Access to such websites always requires the User to click on the respective link and is never automatic.
It is absolutely impossible for ifthenpay to guarantee that the data protection practices of our partners and suppliers comply with the law and our ethical standards. Therefore, ifthenpay assumes no responsibility for the content or privacy policy of external websites, and any damage, loss, unlawful act or infringement caused, allegedly caused or related to the use of such websites or external resources shall be the sole responsibility of their respective owners.
