  1. About us
  2.  

The MEX Money group is made up of different companies. We will let you know which MEX Money company you have a relationship with when you first apply for, or use, a MEX Money product or service.


The MEX Money company providing the relevant product or service to you will be responsible for processing your personal data for that product or service. This MEX Money company is known as the ‘controller’ of your personal data.

 

  1. Why do I need to read this notice?
  2.  

We will collect your personal data when you use:

–              our website at www.MEX Money.com

–              the MEX Money Business app

–              any of the services available to you through the MEX Money Business app or website

We may also collect your personal data from other people or companies. We explain how this can happen in more detail at What personal data do you collect about me? section below.

 

When we say ‘personal data’, we mean information which:

–              we know about you (for example, if you are a director of a company applying for a MEX Money Business account, we may ask you to provide identification documents)

–              can be used to personally identify you (for example, a combination of your name and postal address)

 

Data protection laws do not apply to information about legal entities (for example, limited liability companies). However, they do apply to people. When we provide MEX Money Business products, we process personal data of the individuals authorised to set the account up and give us instructions about the account. We also may process personal data about other employees and customers of the company that receives MEX Money Business products.

If more than one person is authorised to give instructions on a MEX Money Business account, references in this notice to ‘you’ and ‘your’ will mean any, or all, of those people. When we refer to a ‘company’, we mean the company that holds the MEX Money Business account.

 

This notice explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights if you want to change how we use your personal data. This notice only applies to personal data. It does not apply to company information.

 

If you are a customer of a company that holds a MEX Money Business account, or one of its employees who uses the company’s MEX Money Business account, but are not authorised to give us instructions, we do not process personal data about you as a ‘controller’. The company that holds the MEX Money Business account is the ‘controller’ of your personal data. You should contact the company that holds the MEX Money Business account for information about how it processes your personal data.

 

We may provide this notice in languages other than English. If there are any discrepancies between other language versions and the English language version, the English language version is authoritative.

 

If you have concerns about how we use your personal data, you can contact support@mexmoney.com.

 

  1. What personal data do you collect about me?
  2.  

The types of personal data we collect depend on how you use MEX Money Business. When you use MEX Money Business, you can be:

–              a freelancer, sole trader or sole proprietor that has applied for a MEX Money Business account, which we call a ‘Freelancer’

–              an employer or an employee that is responsible for applying for and / or running a MEX Money Business account on behalf of a company, which we call an ‘Account Owner’

–              an employee of a company that has a MEX Money Business account, and your employer has invited you to use its MEX Money Business account, which we call a ‘Team Member’

If you are a:

–              Freelancer or Account Owner, we are the ‘controller’ of your personal data when we provide you with MEX Money Business

–              Team Member, the company that holds the MEX Money Business account you have been invited to use, is a ‘controller’ of your personal data. Please contact it if you have any questions about how your personal data is processed by MEX Money Business on its behalf

–              customer of a company that holds a MEX Money Business account, that company is a ‘controller’ of your personal data. Please contact it if you have any questions about how your personal data is processed by MEX Money Business on its behalf

–              prospective MEX Money Business customer who has not yet applied for a MEX Money Business account, but may have received information about MEX Money Business, we provide you with a separate privacy notice available here

  1. What is your legal basis for using my personal data?
  2.  

We must have a legal basis (a valid legal reason) for using your personal data. Our legal basis will be one of the following:

–              Keeping to our contracts and agreements with you

Preparing anonymous statistical datasets

 

We prepare anonymous statistical datasets about our customers’ spending patterns:

–              to understand how customers use MEX Money Business

–              to comply with governmental requirements and requests

 

These datasets may be shared internally or externally with others, including non-MEX Money companies. We produce these reports using information about you and other customers. The information used and shared in this way is never personal data and you will never be identifiable from it. Anonymous statistical data cannot be linked back to you as an individual.

 

For example, some countries have laws that require us to report spending statistics and how money enters or leaves each country. We will provide anonymised statistical information that explains the broad categories of merchants that MEX Money Business customers in that country spend their money with. We will also provide information about how MEX Money Business customers top up their accounts and transfer money. However, we will not provide any

customer-level information. It will not be possible to identify any individual MEX Money Business customer.

  1. Do you make automated decisions about me?
  2.  

Depending on the MEX Money Business products or services you use, we may make automated decisions about you.

This means that we may use technology that can evaluate your personal circumstances and other factors to predict risks or outcomes. This is sometimes known as profiling. We do this for the efficient running of our services and to ensure decisions are fair, consistent and based on the right information.

Where we make an automated decision about you, you have the right to ask that it is manually reviewed by a person. You can find out more about this in the What are my rights? section below.

For example, we may make automated decisions about you that relate to:

Opening accounts

–              KYB, anti-money laundering and sanctions checks

–              identity and address checks

Detecting fraud

–              monitoring your account to detect fraud and financial crime Our legal basis is one or more of the following:

We will share your personal data with credit reference agencies, or other providers of credit information, to:

–              confirm details you provide when applying for a MEX Money Business account

–              make an assessment about whether to accept a MEX Money Business application

Our legal basis is one or more of the following:

–              consent (where we are required to collect your consent by law)

–              legal obligations

–              keeping to contracts and agreements between you and us (where you apply for a MEX Money Business account)

  1. How do you use my personal data for marketing?
  2.  

If you sign up to use MEX Money Business, and where national laws allow, we will assume you want us to contact you by post, push notification, email and SMS text message with information about MEX Money products, services, offers and promotions. Where national laws require us to get your consent to send direct marketing messages, we will do so in advance. We may use the personal data we have collected about you in order to tailor our offers to you.

You can tell us you don’t want to hear from us at any time. Just click on the unsubscribe links on any marketing message we send you.

We won’t pass your details on to any organisations outside the MEX Money group of companies for their marketing purposes without your permission. You can find out more in the Do you share my personal data with anyone else? section.

 

Our legal basis is:

–              consent (where we are required by law to collect your consent)

–              legitimate interests (to send you marketing and to provide information more relevant to your interests)

 

  1. What are my rights?
  2.  

If you are an employee or customer of a company that holds a MEX Money Business account, the company, rather than MEX Money, is responsible for helping you with your request.

 

If MEX Money is responsible for helping with your request, we may not be able to agree to your request (for example, if we have a legitimate reason for not doing so or the right does not apply to the particular information we hold about you).

 

Your right 

 

What it means

 

You have the right to be told about how we use your personal data.  We provide this privacy notice to explain how we use your personal data.

 If you ask, we will provide a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We can’t give you any personal data about other people, personal data which is linked to an ongoing criminal or fraud investigation, or personal data which is linked to settlement negotiations with you. We also won’t provide you with any communication we’ve had with our legal advisers.

 

You can ask us to correct your personal data if you think it’s wrong. You can have incomplete or inaccurate personal data corrected. Before we update your file, we may need to check the accuracy of the new personal data you have provided.

 

You can ask us to delete your personal data.        

 

You can ask us to delete your personal data if:

✓            there’s no good reason for us to continue using it

✓            you gave us consent (permission) to use your personal data and you have now withdrawn that consent

✓            you have objected to us using your personal data

✓            we have used your personal data unlawfully

✓            the law requires us to delete your personal data

 

Only a Freelancer or Account Owner may ask us to delete MEX Money Business account data.

 

Just to let you know, we may not be able to agree to your request. As a regulated financial services provider, we must keep certain customer personal data even when you ask us to delete it (we’ve explained this in more detail below). We may not be able to delete your entire file because these regulatory responsibilities take priority. We will always let you know if we can’t delete your personal data.

You can object to us processing your personal data for marketing purposes.         

You can tell us to stop using your personal data, including profiling, for marketing.

You can object to us processing other personal data (if we are using it for legitimate interests).   If our legal basis for using your personal data is ‘legitimate interests’ and you disagree with us using it, you can object.

However, if there is an overriding reason why we need to use your personal data, we will not accept your request.

                

If you object to us using personal data which we need in order to provide our services, we may need to close your MEX Money Business account as we won’t be able to provide the services.

 

You can ask us to restrict how we use your personal data.  

            

You can ask us to suspend using your personal data if:

✓            you want us to investigate whether it is accurate

✓            our use of your personal data is unlawful but you do not want us to delete it

✓            we no longer need your personal data, but you want us to continue holding it for you in connection with a legal claim

✓            you have objected to us using your personal data (see above), but we need to check whether we have an overriding reason to use it

 

You can ask us to transfer personal data to you or another company.       If we can, and are allowed to do so under regulatory requirements, we will provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

 

You can withdraw your permission.         

 

If you have given us any consent we need to use your personal data, you can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to suport@mexmoney.com.

 

(Please note, it will have been lawful for us to use the personal data up to the point you withdraw your permission).

You can ask us to carry out a human review of an automated decision we make about you.            

If we make an automated decision about you that significantly affects you, you can ask us to carry out a manual review of this decision.

Your ability to exercise these rights will depend on a number of factors. Sometimes, we won’t be able to agree to your request (for example, if we have a legitimate reason for not doing so or the right does not apply to the particular information we hold about you).

 

  1. How do I exercise my rights?
  2.  

If you are an employee or customer of the company that holds the MEX Money Business account, please contact that company.

If you were authorised to set the MEX Money Business account up, or give us instructions about the account (for example, you are a Freelancer or Account Owner), you can send us an email at support@MEX Money.com.

 

For security reasons, we can’t deal with your request if we are not sure of your identity, so we may ask you for proof of your ID.

If a third party exercises one of these rights on your behalf, we may need to ask for proof that a third party has been validly authorised to act on your behalf.

When you exercise one of these rights, it may take us up to one month to implement your changes.

 

MEX Money will usually not charge you a fee when you exercise your rights. However, we are allowed by law to charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on your request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

 

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your request you can complain to a data protection authority. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (website). In the European Economic Area, this is the Lithuanian State Data Protection Inspectorate (website).

Acquiring partners

 

Where we provide payment services to you, or your company, we may share some of your, or your customers’, personal data with our third party acquiring partners. This is necessary to provide you with the payment services you have requested.

 

Other third parties

 

We may share your personal data with other third parties where this is necessary to facilitate you receiving payments to your MEX Money Business account.

 

For legal reasons

 

We also share your personal data with other financial institutions, government authorities, law enforcement authorities, tax authorities, companies and fraud prevention agencies to check your identity, protect against fraud, keep to tax laws, anti-money laundering laws, or any other laws, and confirm that you are eligible to use our products and services.

If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services, finance or employment by MEX Money or others. We may also need to share your personal data with other third party organisations or authorities:

–              if we have to do so under any law or regulation

–              if we sell our business

–              in connection with suspected or actual criminal or fraud investigations

–              to enforce our rights (and those of our customers or others)

–              in connection with legal claims

Social media and advertising companies

When we use social media for marketing purposes, information about you, or your company, may be shared with our social media platform partners so they can check if you or your company also hold an account with them. If you do, we may ask the advertising partner, or social media provider, to:

–              use the data to send our adverts to you or your company, because we think that you, or your employer, might be interested in a new MEX Money product or service

–              not send you our adverts, because the marketing relates to a service that you, or your employer, already use

–              send our adverts to companies that have a similar profile to your company

An example of how we may use social media for marketing purposes is through Facebook’s ‘Custom Audience’ tool. Read more about these terms.

Our legal basis is:

–              legitimate interests (to ensure MEX Money’s advertising is as effective as possible).

 

You can contact us at any time, either through the MEX Money Business app or by emailing support@mexmoney.com, if you don’t want us to share your personal data for advertising purposes.

 

Remember you can also manage your marketing preferences directly with any social media provider that you have an account with.

Where you ask us to share your personal data

 

Where you direct us to share your personal data with a third party, we may do so. For example, you may authorise third parties to act on your behalf (such as a lawyer or accountant). We may need to ask for proof that a third party has been validly authorised to act on your behalf.

 

  1. Will my personal data go outside of the United Kingdom or Europe?
  2.  

As we provide an international service, we may need to transfer your personal data outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area (EEA) in order for us to provide our services.

We may send your personal data outside of the United Kingdom or EEA to:

–              keep to global legal and regulatory requirements

–              provide ongoing support services

–              credit reference agencies, fraud prevention agencies, law enforcement authorities

–              enable us to provide you with products or services you have requested

If we transfer your personal data to another country that does not offer a standard of data protection equivalent to the United Kingdom or EEA, we will make sure that your personal data is sufficiently protected. For example, we will make sure that a contract with strict data protection safeguards is in place before we transfer your personal data. In some cases, you may be entitled to ask us for a copy of this contract.

If you would like more information, please contact us by sending an email to support@mexmoney.com.

 

  1. How do you protect my personal data?
  2.  

We recognise the importance of protecting and managing your personal data. Any personal data we process will be treated with the utmost care and security. This section sets out some of the security measures we have in place.

 

We use a variety of physical and technical measures to:

 

–              keep your personal data safe

–              prevent unauthorised access to your personal data

–              make sure your personal data is not improperly used or disclosed

 

Electronic data and databases are stored on secure computer systems with control over access to information using both physical and electronic means. Our staff receives data protection and information security training. We have detailed security and data protection policies which staff are required to follow when they handle your personal data.

 

While we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data will be kept secure from unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee it will be secure during transmission by you to our app, a website or other services. We use HTTPS (HTTP Secure), where the communication protocol is encrypted through Transport Layer Security for secure communication over networks, for all our app, web and payment-processing services.

 

If you use a password for the MEX Money app or our website, you will need to keep this password confidential. Please do not share it with anyone.

When you use our public services, which includes our social network accounts and the MEX Money Community forum, do not share any personal data that you don’t want to be seen, collected or used by other customers, as this personal data will become publicly available.

 

  1. How long will you keep my personal data for?
  2.  

We will generally keep your personal data for six years after our business relationship with the company that holds the MEX Money Business account ends or such period as may be required by applicable local laws. However, if you receive services from our Lithuanian group companies, we will keep your personal data for eight years after our business relationship with the company that holds the MEX Money Business account ends.

 

We are required to keep your personal data for this long by anti-money laundering and e-money laws. We may keep your personal data for longer because of a potential or ongoing court claim or another legal reason.

 

  1. How will you keep me updated about how you use my personal data?
  2.  

If we change the way we use your personal data, we will update this notice and, if appropriate, let you know by email, through the MEX Money Business app or through our website.
