“Employee” means an employee (whether temporary, permanent, part-time, or contract), former employee, or job applicant of Trintech or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, who is also a resident of a country within the European Union or Switzerland.

2. Scope
This Policy applies to any Customer data provided to Trintech (i) as part of the implementation or support of the Services for Customer under an applicable Services agreement with Trintech, or (ii) through Trintech’s websites. This Policy also applies to such Personal Information received by Trintech from its Customers located in the European Union or Switzerland and recorded in any form or on their website. This Policy also applies to Processors that handle and process such Personal Information on behalf of Trintech.
3. Types of Personal Data Trintech Collects
Trintech products do not require customers to provide personal data. However, customers often upload supporting documentation that may contain personal data. Trintech often does not know what type of Personal Data this documentation may contain.
Trintech may collect information from its business partners’ employees such as names, email addresses, and the contents of communications.
4. Processing of European and Swiss Personal Data
As stated above, certain Customers of Trintech may in fact pay additional fees to upload Personal Data that may be received by Trintech as part of its Customers’ use of the Trintech Services. Specifically, Customers may upload files containing Personal Data via secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) via an SFTP server that systematically takes such files from the SFTP server and inputs it to the Customer application under the Services. The applications provided under the Services do not use Personal Data of Customer (or their customers), but Customers may upload files containing Personal Data to the file system within the Trintech Services as supporting documentation. Any Processing by Trintech of Personal Data under the Trintech Services provided to Customers adheres to the foregoing process.
As the Services are provided through hosting services providers, such uploaded Personal Data may be provided through Trintech’s service providers and suppliers (Processors) for the sole purpose and only to the extent needed to support the Customers’ business needs under the Services. These service providers and suppliers are required to keep confidential Personal Data received from Trintech and should not use it for any purpose other than originally intended. In case of data transfers to third parties acting as Controllers the affected individuals will be informed about the transfer and the underlying purposes respectively.
- Privacy Principles
This Policy complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss–US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding such collection, use, and retention of such Personal Data from European Union member countries and the United Kingdom and Switzerland, respectively. A detailed description of the EU-U.S. and Swiss- U.S. Privacy Shield Principles can be found on the U.S. Department of Commerce website at https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
5.1 Notice
As a rule, Trintech does not collect any Personal Data from its Customers; however, its Customers are provided the capability under the Services mentioned in Section 2 above to upload Personal Data as a supporting file for Customer use under the Services. In such circumstances, the Personal Data is required to be masked before it is received by Trintech by the Customer, or otherwise encrypted. Where a Trintech Customer has uploaded a supporting file to Trintech that contains any Personal Data, Trintech may exchange such Personal Data between various affiliated companies and their operations, worldwide, all as necessary to provide the application Services requested by its Customers from Trintech or for general administrative purposes. Trintech may also use facilities, Employees or contractors worldwide to process or back-up information or to provide certain services to Trintech. Where a European or Swiss Customer of Trintech has uploaded a supporting file to Trintech that contains any such Personal Data, or Trintech receives it from its European affiliates, such Customer or the respective European affiliate will inform those individuals about the purposes for which it collects and uses such Personal Data about them; the transfer to Trintech in the U.S., the types or identity of third parties acting as controllers to which Trintech discloses that Personal Data, the purposes for which it does so; and the choices and means offered by Trintech for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal Data, and about the right of individuals to access their Personal Data. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide Personal Data to Trintech, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event before Trintech uses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or discloses it for the first time to a third party.
5.2 Choice
Trintech will work with its Customers to address such Customers’ providing their customers the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether their Personal Data is (a) to be disclosed to a third party acting as a Controller, or (b) to be used for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the Customer. For Sensitive Personal Data, Trintech will give work with its Customers to ensure that its Customers’ customers have the opportunity to affirmatively and explicitly consent (opt-in) to the disclosure of their Sensitive Personal Data to (a) a third party acting as a Controller or (b) the use of the information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. Trintech will work with its Customers to provide its Customers’ customers reasonable (especially clear and conspicuous, readily available) mechanisms to exercise their choices.
5.3 Accountability for Onward Transfer
Trintech will obtain assurances from its Processors that they will safeguard Personal Data consistent with this Policy and will transfer Personal Data only for limited and specific purposes. Examples of appropriate assurances that may be provided by Processors include: a contract obligating the Agent to provide at least the same level of protection as is required by the relevant EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield principles, being subject to GDPR, EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield certification by the Agent, or being subject to another European Commission adequacy finding. Trintech recognizes its responsibility and potential liability for onward transfers to Processors. Where Trintech has knowledge that a Processor is using or disclosing Personal Data in a manner contrary to this Policy and/or the level of protection as required by the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles, Trintech will take reasonable and appropriate steps to prevent, remediate or stop the use or disclosure.
If Trintech transfers unencrypted Personal Data to non-affiliated third parties acting as a Controller, Trintech will apply the Notice and Choice Principles unless a derogation for specific situations under European data protection law applies and will obtain assurance from these parties that they will provide the same level of protection as is required under the Principles. Currently, Trintech does not intentionally transfer any Personal Data to any unaffiliated third party.
5.4 Access
Upon request, Trintech will work with its Customers so that its Customers’ customers have reasonable access to Personal Data that Customer holds about them. In addition, Trintech will take reasonable steps to work with its Customers so that its Customers permit their individual customers to correct, amend, or delete information held by Customer that is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete or has been processed in violation of the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles. Trintech may limit an individual’s access to Personal Data where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy or where the legitimate rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.
5.5 Security
All Personal Data uploaded to the Trintech Services by a Customer is required to be either encrypted within the database or otherwise masked prior to be transmitted to Trintech by the Customer. Trintech will take reasonable and appropriate precautions to protect Personal Data in its possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into due account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal data.
5.6 Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation
Trintech does not access or use any Personal Data uploaded by its Customers – such Personal Data is uploaded by the Customer and made available to such Customer for Customer’s use under the Services. Trintech will provide its Customers access to Personal Data through the Services only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by its Customers who uploaded the information (see 5.2.). Trintech will take reasonable steps with its Customers to ensure that Personal Data uploaded by Customers is relevant to its intended use, accurate, complete, and current. Trintech will adhere to the Principles if it retains Personal Data received under its EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield certification.

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).

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.
