Information
about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
We may be collecting and using information from you if you
are from the European Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of our Privacy
Policy, we are going to explain exactly how and why this data is collected, and
how we maintain this data under protection from being replicated or used in the
wrong way.
What is
GDPR?
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that
regulates how EU residents’ data is protected by companies and enhances the
control the EU residents have, over their personal data.
The GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company and
not just the EU-based businesses and EU residents. Our customers’ data is
important irrespective of where they are located, which is why we have
implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our operations
worldwide.
What is
personal data?
Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified
individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on
its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a
person. Personal data extends beyond a person’s name or email address. Some
examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data,
biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and
ethnicity.
The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:
ü
Personal data collected must be processed in a
fair, legal, and transparent way and should only be used in a way that a person
would reasonably expect.
ü
Personal data should only be collected to fulfill
a specific purpose and it should only be used for that purpose. Organizations
must specify why they need the personal data when they collect it.
ü
Personal data should be held no longer than
necessary to fulfill its purpose.
ü
People covered by the GDPR have the right to
access their own personal data. They can also request a copy of their data, and
that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.
Why is GDPR
important?
GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies
should protect individuals’ personal data that they collect and process. It
also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing
greater fines for breaches. Beyond these facts, it’s simply the right thing to
do. At Paymids we strongly believe that your data privacy is very important and
we already have solid security and privacy practices in place that go beyond
the requirements of this new regulation.
Individual
Data Subject’s Rights – Data Access, Portability and Deletion
We are committed to helping our customers meet the data
subject rights requirements of GDPR. Paymids processes or stores all personal
data in fully vetted, DPA-compliant vendors. We do store all conversation and
personal data for up to 6 years unless your account is deleted. In this case,
we dispose of all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy
Policy, but we will not hold it for longer than 60 days.
We are aware that if you are working with EU customers, you
need to be able to provide them with the ability to access, update, retrieve,
and remove personal data. We got you! We’ve been set up as self-service from
the start and have always given you access to your data and your customer's
data. Our customer support team is here for you to answer any questions you
might have about working with the API.

disclose the categories of Personal Information we collect and how we use it,

third parties with whom we share it, which we have explained above.

Information are collected or used by us;
3.

Personal Information; and

ü
Right to Delete. You may submit a verifiable
request to close your account and we will delete Personal Information about you
that we have collected.
ü
Request that a business that sells a consumer’s
personal data, not sell the consumer’s personal data.
