4. SECURITY AND RETENTION

4.1 Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure of information we have physical, electronic and managerial procedures in place to keep your information safe.

However, this high level of protection can only be effective if you follow certain security practices yourself. You must never share your Merchant Account or login details with anyone. If you are concerned that any of your login details have been compromised, you can change them any time once you are logged on but you should always also immediately contact Customer Services and tell us why you think your login details have been compromised. Details of how to contact Customer Services are available from the “Contact” section of the Website. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

4.2 Retention

 We are by law required to retain certain records for a period of at least five years after closure of your Merchant Account which will include your personal data. Otherwise, we will delete and destroy all personal data that we hold about you when you (or we) terminate your Merchant Account.

5. RECIPIENTS OF DATA
