INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT.
Settlement Services and Program Management Services
In the course of supporting alternative payment and settlement services in the European Territory, we may collect, either directly or indirectly through a third party, Personal Information1 from any Beneficial Owner2/Director/Officer of a Payment Service Provider (“PSP”) or Merchant who is party to a transaction in order to comply with Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Customer (“AML/KYC”) legal and regulatory requirements. 1 Under GDPR, Article 4(1), Personal Information or ‘Personal Data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
2 Beneficial Owners includes individuals possessing a 10%+ equity in the PSP or Merchant that is party to the transaction.
Typically, we engage a third party with instructions to facilitate collection of Personal Information from Owners/Directors/Officers in order to complete the required due diligence application. Once we receive a completed due diligence application from the third party, we will conduct the AML/KYC investigation associated with the underlying payment transaction. In the event that the due diligence application is incomplete or requires further explanation, we will communicate requests for additional information through the third party. We do not receive any information related to payment transactions.
The information we may collect to carry out AML/KYC due diligence activities may include the following information:
LAWFUL GROUNDS TO PROCESS. We process information related to Owners/Directors/Officers due 2 diligence as necessary to comply with our legal obligations to which we are subject under relevant AML/KYC laws and regulations.
INFORMATION WE RETAIN. InComm has a formal Data Retention Standard which contains a comprehensive data retention schedule. Generally, we retain business-related information for 10 years unless no longer needed to serve the purpose for which the information was originally collected.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION. We may share your Personal Information with any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006.
We may share your information with selected third parties including business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you.
In the event we go through a business transition, for example, a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of part or all of our assets, we may disclose your Personal Information to third parties and your Personal Information held may be among one of the assets transferred.
Finally, we may share your information if we are under a duty to disclose or share your Personal Information to comply with any legal obligation, or to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of InComm Payments UK Ltd., our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
