  1. Automated decision-making

We use automated processes to support decisions about your application, account, and transactions. This includes, verifying your identity, assessing fraud and financial crime risk, screening transactions, and reviewing account activity. These processes may result in a decision to reject your application, block or decline a proposed transaction, restrict access to your account, or to close your account. Where a decision is taken solely on automated processing and may produce a significant adverse effect on you, you will be notified and offered the opportunity to provide further information and challenge the decision through an appeal mechanism, which includes a manual non-automated review. In any case, if you feel that an automated process may have impacted you, please contact us at privacy@taptapsend.com.

  1. Data retention

We will generally keep your personal data for ten years after our business relationship with you ends, or for as long as necessary and permitted in line with various local requirements, such as for example, best practice recommendations (e.g. supervisory authority recommendations), relevant guidelines (e.g. employment guidance) or for as long as mandated under specific legislation (e.g. tax laws).

We will also determine appropriate retention periods based on our legitimate interests where identified. As a regulated financial institution, we are required by law to store some of your data beyond the termination of your relationship with us. After such time, your data will only be accessed or processed if absolutely necessary. We will always delete data that is no longer required by relevant legislation.

We take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify personal data as required by relevant legislation.

When personal data needs to be deleted or de-identified, we will either delete manually or automatically, or anonymise it if deletion is not possible.

  1. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We use reasonable physical and technical safeguards to protect your personal data, both during transmission and storage. No method of transmission over the internet, including by email, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. So, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using Transport Layer Security technology. You are responsible for keeping confidential any passwords we give you. We ask you not to share this password with anyone else and not to use this password for other services or products.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those who need it to do their jobs (i.e. employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know). Where this is a third party, they will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

  1. Data protection rights

Data protection laws enable several rights in relation to how an organisation processes your personal data.

If you would like to exercise any of the below rights you can do so by sending us a written request to privacy@taptapsend.com. For security reasons, we can't deal with your request if we’re not sure of your identity, so we may ask you for proof of ID.

Your ability to exercise these rights will depend on a number of factors. Sometimes, we won’t be able to agree to your request (for example, if we have a legitimate reason for not doing so or the right does not apply to the particular information we hold about you). If you object to us using personal data which we need in order to provide our Services, we may need to close your account as we won’t be able to provide the Services to you.

When you exercise one of your rights it may take us up to one month to respond or implement your changes, unless another timeframe is determined by applicable law. Where applicable law prescribes a specific timeframe for responding to personal data rights requests (for example, ten working days in certain jurisdictions), we will comply with the timeframe required by that law.

If you are based in the UK, our one-month response period begins from the later of (a) the date we receive your request, or (b) the date we receive any additional identity verification information we request. We will inform you where we need further information from you to identify what information or processing activities you are asking about, and our one-month response period will be paused until we receive this further information.
