Customer data protection rights and choices of user
In Transactpay protecting customer data and respecting their privacy rights is of utmost importance. Customers have certain rights and choices regarding their personal information when using Our payment solution. Here are some key aspects related to customer data protection rights and choices in the TWD:
- Access to Personal Information: Customers have the right to request access to the personal information that TWD holds about them. This includes details on what information is collected, how it is used, and with whom it is shared.
- Correction and Rectification: Customers can request the correction or rectification of inaccuracies in their personal information. This ensures that the data held by TWD is accurate and up-to-date.
- Data Portability: Some privacy regulations, such as GDPR, provide customers with the right to receive their personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. This enables them to transfer their data to another service if they choose.
- Withdrawal of Consent: Customers typically have the right to withdraw their consent for the processing of their personal information. If the processing is based on consent, the customer can request the cessation of such processing.
- Objection to Processing: Customers may have the right to object to certain types of processing of their personal information, such as direct marketing. This right is often subject to the specific legal basis for processing.
- Restriction of Processing: In certain circumstances, customers may have the right to request the restriction of the processing of their personal information. This means the TWD can store the data but not use it for processing.
- Deletion or Erasure: Customers can request the deletion or erasure of their personal information under certain conditions. This is often referred to as the "right to be forgotten."
- Opt-Out of Marketing Communications: Customers should have the option to opt out of receiving marketing communications. TWD must respect users' preferences regarding promotional content.
- Cookies and Tracking Preferences: Customers have the right to manage their preferences regarding the use of cookies and other tracking technologies. This includes options to accept, reject, or manage the settings for such technologies.
- Transparency and Information: TWD is obligated to provide clear and transparent information to users about how their personal information is collected, processed, and shared. This information is typically outlined in privacy policies or notices.
- Security Measures: Customers have the right to expect that their personal information is treated with the utmost security. TWD must implement robust security measures to protect customer data from unauthorised access or breaches.
TWD communicates these rights to their users and makes it easy for them to exercise these choices. This often involves providing user-friendly interfaces for managing privacy settings, clear instructions on how to submit data access requests, and responsive customer support for addressing privacy-related inquiries. Adherence to relevant data protection laws and regulations is crucial in upholding these customer rights.
