1. Who is responsible
1.1 The controller of your personal data is [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], registered in [JURISDICTION] under number [REG NUMBER], with registered office at [ADDRESS] ("Fundly", "we", "us").
1.2 Our data protection officer can be reached at [DPO EMAIL].
1.3 Our regulated partners ([ISSUER NAME], [EMI PARTNER NAME], [VASP ENTITY NAME]) are separate controllers for the processing they carry out under their own terms. Their privacy notices apply to that processing and are linked on the platform.
2. What we collect
2.1 Identity and contact data. Name, date of birth, nationality, email address, phone number, residential address.
2.2 Verification data. Identity documents, selfie and liveness video, proof of address and, where requested, source of funds information. These are collected through [KYC PROVIDER] on our behalf. Some of this is biometric data, which we process only with your explicit consent or where the law permits it for identity verification.
2.3 Account and transaction data. Deposits, conversions, card payments, transfers, balances, merchant details, card status and limits.
2.4 Blockchain data. The deposit addresses we assign to you, the addresses you send from, transaction hashes and the results of blockchain analytics screening.

2.6 Communications. Support messages, call recordings where we tell you, and your marketing preferences.
2.7 Data from others. Sanctions and politically exposed person screening results, fraud prevention databases, and information from our partners about your card and account.

- [ISSUER NAME], which issues your card and processes card transactions;
- [EMI PARTNER NAME], which provides your account and IBAN;

5. International transfers
5.1 Some of the parties above are located outside [JURISDICTION] or the EEA. Where we transfer personal data to a country without an adequacy decision we use approved safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, and we carry out transfer risk assessments. You can request a copy of the relevant safeguard.
6. How long we keep it
6.1 We keep your data for as long as your account is open and then for as long as we are required to by law. Anti-money-laundering rules require us to keep identity and transaction records for [RETENTION PERIOD] after the end of our relationship with you, typically 5 years, and longer if a regulator asks us to.
6.2 We keep marketing preferences until you change them. We delete or anonymise analytics data after [ANALYTICS RETENTION].
7. Your rights
7.1 Depending on where you live, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- correct inaccurate data;
- delete data, where we are not required to keep it;
- restrict or object to processing, including for direct marketing;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing;
- complain to [DATA PROTECTION AUTHORITY] or to the authority where you live.
7.2 To exercise a right, email [DPO EMAIL] or use the privacy section on the platform. We will respond within one month. We may need to verify your identity first.
7.3 We do not make decisions with legal effects about you based solely on automated processing, except for sanctions screening and fraud checks that the law requires or allows. You can ask for a human review of these decisions.
8. Cookies
