Introduction

1. This is a notice to inform you of our policy relating to all the information that we record about you. It sets out the conditions under which we may process any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us.
It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that could not. In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information.
2. We take seriously the protection of your privacy and confidentiality.

We understand that all visitors to our website and users of our money transfer services are entitled to know that their personal data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them, and will not accidentally fall into the
hands of athird party. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information which you provide to us.
3. This policy complies with the EU Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC),implemented as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force from May 2018. In the UK, the legal provisions of the GDPR are incorporated in the Data Protection Act 2017, making it applicable after the UK leaves the European Union.
4. Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website.

The bases on which we process information about you

The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.
If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant then we shall immediately stop processing your data. If the basis changes, then if required by law we shall notify you of the change
and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.

1. Information we process because we have a contractual obligation with you

When you create an account on our website or otherwise agree to our Terms and Conditions in order to use our money transfer service, a contract is formed between you and us.
In order to carry out our obligations under that contract, we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal information. We may use it in order to: 
1.1. verify your identity for security purposes
1.2. provide you with our services
1.3. provide you with advice about our products, advice on how to use our services and to obtain the most from using our website We process this information on the basis that there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract. Additionally, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor our performance in providing our payment services. If we use it for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable.
If you continue to use our services once you have agreed our Terms & Conditions, we do not have to seek your consent to use data about you because our contractual relationship is the legal basis for doing so. We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract. 

2. Information we process with your consent

Through certain actions, when there is no contractual relationship between us (such as when you browse our website or ask us to provide you with more information about our business, including our products and services), you provide your consent to us to process information which may be personal information.
Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies.
Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us a message by e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply. Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific
purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor performance in providing our services.
We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists. You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us at bok@varsoviafx. com. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.

3. Information we process because we have a legal obligation

As a financial institution we are subject to strict regulations governing the keeping of records, which require us to maintain a record of you and your transactions. We are also subject to the general law, and sometimes we must process
your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation. For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order. This may include your personal information.

4. Information relating to your method of payment

Payment information is never taken by us or transferred to us either through our website or otherwise. At the point of payment, you are transferred from our website to an API of SagePay (or some other reputable payment service provider).
Information about your debit card is stored by SagePay in order to make using our service for future transactions easier. This is done when you first use our service. Complete information about your debit card is not stored on our database.
Only tokens are stored on our secure servers. These are used if you have registered for regular repeat payments, and they store only the last four digits of the debit card.
The reason we do not keep all your payment information is so that we can protect it by:
4.1. preventing the possibility of our duplicating a transaction without a new
instruction from you;
4.2. preventing any other third party from carrying out a transaction without
your consent
If we ask you questions about your payment information, we only show the last four digits of the debit card number, so that you can identify the means of payment to which we refer.

5. Your rights under data protection law

The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regards to the processing and control of your personal data. We briefly set out these rights here, but we would ask that you also read the information provided at www.knowyourprivacyrights.org.
You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data unless we have reasonable grounds to refuse the request. You have the right to request the correction of data inaccuracies; to make an access request for the personal information we hold about you; to be provided with a copy of it electronically in a commonly used format; and/or to request its transfer to another data controller. 
You have the right to object to how your personal data is used, as described elsewhere in this Notice. You also have the right to restrict the processing of your information, which you may wish to do (instead of your data being erased) if, for example, it is no longer necessary for us to use it, or if you tell us that the data is incorrect. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (the ‘supervisory authority’ in the UK for data protection law) about how your personal information is used.
