1.3 How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected by you providing it to us. This may be data that you enter into the app during the registration process or data that you hand over to the recording employee during the registration process. In addition, other data is automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit the app. This is mainly technical data (e.g. app version, operating system or timestamp of the app call). This data is collected automatically as soon as you start the app.

1.4 What do we use your data for?

We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) for the following purposes:

  1. For the fulfillment of contractual obligations (Article 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO) The processing of personal data is carried out in the context of the implementation of our contract with you as our customer or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that take place at your request. In particular, this applies to the use of the secupay app and its functions, such as payment by smartphone in brick-and-mortar stores and online stores or the query and display of card payments made and the card balance. This also includes communication with you. We use your personal information to communicate with you, for example, e-mail regarding your concerns.
  2. Relevant personal data may include in particular:
    • Personal data (name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality and similar data)
    • Contact details (address, email address, telephone number and similar data)
    • Legitimation data (identification and registration data)
    • Current accounts and credit card data
  3. Within the framework of the balancing of interests (Article 6 (1) f DSGVO) To the extent necessary, we process your data beyond the actual performance of the contract to protect legitimate interests of us or third parties, for example:
    • Assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes.
    • Ensuring IT security and IT operations
    • prevention of criminal offences
    • Error-free provision of the website
  4. Based on your consent (Article 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) If you have given us consent to process personal data for specific purposes (e.g. sharing of data within the association/group), the lawfulness of this processing is based on your consent. Consent given can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the EU General Data Protection Regulation came into force, i.e. before May 25, 2018. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.
  5. Due to legal requirements (Article 6(1)(c) DSGVO) or in the public interest (Article 6(1)(e) DSGVO) In addition, as a payment or e-money institution, we are subject to various legal obligations, i.e. legal requirements (e.g. Payment Services Supervision Act, Money Laundering Act, tax laws) as well as banking supervisory requirements (e.g. the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority BaFin). The purposes of processing include, among others, identity and age verification, fraud and money laundering prevention, the fulfillment of control and reporting obligations under tax law, and the assessment and management of risks within the company.

1.5 Who receives your data?

Within the company, access to your data is granted to those departments that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. Service providers and vicarious agents employed by us may also receive data for these purposes if they comply with data secrecy and our written instructions under data protection law. These are essentially companies from the categories listed below.
With regard to the transfer of data to recipients outside the responsible bodies, it should be noted that as a payment or e-money institution we are obliged to maintain confidentiality about all customer-related facts and evaluations of which we become aware. We may only pass on information about you if this is required by law, if you have given your consent, if we are authorized to provide banking information and/or if the processors we have commissioned guarantee compliance with banking secrecy and the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation/Federal Data Protection Act in the same way. Under these conditions, recipients of personal data may be, for example:

  • Public bodies and institutions (e.g. Deutsche Bundesbank, Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, European Banking Authority, European Central Bank, tax authorities, Federal Central Tax Office) if there is a legal or regulatory obligation.
  • Other credit and financial services institutions, comparable institutions and contract processors to whom we transmit personal data in order to carry out the business relationship with you.
    In detail: Processing of bank information, support/maintenance of EDP/IT applications, archiving, document processing, compliance services, securing of payment releases, controlling, data screening for anti-money laundering purposes, data destruction, recovery, payment card processing, customer administration, telephony, website management, payment transactions. Other data recipients may be those entities for which you have given your consent to data transfer or for which you have released us from banking secrecy pursuant to agreement or consent.

1.6 Will data be transferred to a third country?

Data is only transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA (so-called third countries) if this is necessary to execute your orders (e.g. payment orders) or is required by law.

1.7 What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have a right to request the correction, restriction or deletion of this data.

The analysis of your usage behavior is anonymous; the usage behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. For details, please refer to our privacy policy under the heading "Analysis tools".

Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by this. If data is retained as evidence, it is subject to the limitation periods of the German Civil Code (BGB) §§195ff. and can last up to 30 years, with the regular limitation period being three years. IP addresses are deleted after 90 days at the latest.
