Accessing and Correcting Your Information

If you delete your User Contributions from the Website, copies of your User Contributions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or might have been copied or stored by other Website users.

Rights under General Consumer Privacy Laws

Residents of states that have enacted general consumer privacy laws, including California, may have specific rights. Please note that we will seek to verify your identity when we receive an individual rights request in order to ensure the security of your information and that you may assign an authorized agent make a request on your behalf.

Such residents may have the right to request the deletion of personal information, but Trintech may not delete some or all requested personal information as required or allowed by applicable law. Such residents may also request to receive details about how we collect, use, and share your personal information. Specifically, you may request to receive the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you. Such residents may also have the right to correct any inaccurate personal data maintained by Us. Such residents may also have a right to opt-out of the sharing of their personal information.

We do not sell personal information and do not discriminate against you for exercising any general consumer privacy rights granted by state laws, such as the access, deletion, and correction rights described above. If we choose to offer a product enhancement or financial incentive that is contingent on you sharing personal information, we will ensure that the value provided to us by that collection is reasonably related to the value of the product enhancement or financial incentive.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights as described in this section, you can email us at privacy@trintech.com.

Data Retention

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for us to perform the purposes set out in the chart above. Records containing your personal information are deleted after a set retention period according to our internal retention policies, as long as such records are not subject to a legal dispute, litigation, investigation, or tax audit.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

Do not Track Requests

Certain State laws require that we indicate whether we honor “Do Not Track” settings in your browser concerning targeted advertising. “Do Not Track” is a standard that is currently under development. As it is not yet finalized, we adhere to the standards set out in this Privacy Policy and do not monitor or follow any Do Not Track browser requests.

If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by e-mail to the e-mail address provided to us or through a notice on the Website.

European Union Supplement

If you are a resident of the EEA or a resident of the United Kingdom (“UK”) or a resident of Switzerland, this Supplement explains what personal data we collect about you, how it is used, with whom it is shared, and rights you may exercise in relation to your personal data.

1. Legitimate Interest

We may process your personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests, provided that such processing does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object. Please keep in mind that if you object this may affect our ability to perform certain services for your benefit. We process your personal data based on legitimate interests in order to:

  • Protect you, us, or others from security threats by enhancing the security of our network and information systems;
  • Identify and prevent fraud;
  • Comply with applicable laws and industry regulations; and
  • Enable or administer our business and to provide services thereunder.

2. Other Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data

We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have a legal basis. Other than legitimate interests, legal bases include consent (where you have given consent), contract (where processing is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract with you and the provision of personal data is required for that contract), and compliance with a legal obligation. Where we rely on consent, you retain the right to withdraw consent at any time.

3. Data Subject Rights

You can also exercise the following rights:

Deletion. You can ask to erase or delete all or some of your personal data.

Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data. You can ask to stop using all or some of your personal data (e.g., if there is no legal right to keep using it) or to limit use of it (e.g., if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held).

Access Your Data. You can ask for a copy of your personal data provided in a machine-readable form.

Correction You also have the right to correct any inaccurate personal data maintained by Us

If we have collected and processed your personal data with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time.

4.Automated Decision-Making

We do not make use of automated decision-making. As defined under current data protection laws, automated decisions are defined as decisions about individuals that are based solely on the automated (i.e., no human involvement) processing of data and that produce legal effects or that significantly affect the individuals involved.

5.Retention Period

We retain the personal data that we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide services or to comply with an applicable legal requirement).

6.Complaint

You have the right to register a complaint with a European data protection or supervisory authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.
