Providing personal data for the purposes of using our services is voluntary, with the exception of cases where the obligation to provide such data is subject to the applicable law. However, the submission of data is necessary in order to execute some of our services.
Your personal data are collected directly from you - this is the information you provide in order to use our services. In order to open an Account, you must provide (a) your User Name (email), (b) your password and (c) your country of residence. We need this information to allow you to use your Account. Your Account Password is encrypted and you are required to protect your Account login details from unauthorized access by third parties.
Using Payment Services involves providing additional personal data, which includes, your name, surname, identification numbers, address data, identity document number or bank account number. You may also be asked to provide a copy of your ID card or other identity documents to confirm your personal data. On some occasions, it may be necessary to submit other documents or information in order to use our services for the purpose of applying the financial security measures required by counteracting money laundering and terrorist financing laws in order to use our services.
We may use certain personal data to profile you in order to quickly and effectively detect a specific crime and the person who committed it. As a result of such profiling, potentially non-compliant money laundering or terrorist financing conduct is identified. If suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing is detected, the transaction is reported to the appropriate government authorities or execution of said transaction may be refused. As a result of such a statement, the execution of a contract with the User may also be rejected in the future.
The processing of your personal data is carried out in order to identify you as well as to identify beneficial owners within the meaning of the counteracting money laundering and terrorist financing laws, to monitor our business relationship on an ongoing basis and to investigate the source of wealth.

The counteracting of money laundering and terrorist financing laws allow us to supplement your personal data with information obtained from other public data sources - we need to be sure of your identity whenever we provide our services to you.

This applies, for example, when you are a co-owner of a bank account or when you define the bank account of a person to whom we make a transfer. We are committed to protecting the processing of third party data submitted to us in the course of providing the services to you as much as we are committed to protecting your data. Remember that the application of your personal data rights must not negatively affect the rights and freedom of others, including those who you have provided us with. We process your personal data when you contact us, e.g. through the User Service section. This includes information necessary for communicating with you, including answering any questions or concerns you may have. For this purpose, we use the data you have provided in your Account.
