These sites have a distinct and independent privacy policy. We recommend that you check the policies, terms and conditions of every site you visit. Our goal is to protect the integrity of our site and we are pleased to receive any feedback about the information on external sites provided on our site.

8. International transfer of personal data

Our rational efforts to ensure that third parties with whom we do business are bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy or similar policies. Your information may be transmitted to or available to recipients in any country in the world. These countries may have different and possibly less rigorous standards with regard to data protection than your country. If so, we will, to the extent possible, provide adequate legal safeguards, to the best of our ability, with respect to your personal data that is transferred to such recipients. Using our services, you are consenting to the transmission of your data to other countries, including countries with data privacy and protection laws that differ from the laws in your country. We will protect and process your personal data in all such transfers as described in this Privacy Policy.

When we transfer personal data outside the EEA to a country that has not been designated by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate level of personal data protection, such transfer will be based on an agreement that covers EU requirements for the transfer of personal data outside the EEA, for example, standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. The European Commission approved standard contractual clauses are available here.

So, we can only transfer your personal data in the below cases:

  • if the country to which we transfer your personal data ensures an acceptable level of personal data protection (as defined by the European Commission);
  • if we take adequate precautions to protect your rights as a data subject.

9. Security of personal data 

We develop our system taking into consideration your safety and confidentiality. Physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are applied by us in relation to the collection, retention and disclosure of your personal data. 

As a result, the steps we follow to ensure the safety and protection of your data include:

  • two-factor authentication (2FA);
  • pseudonymization and encryption of personal data using the TLS 1.2 standard;
  • the ability to provide ongoing privacy, integrity, accessibility and stability to our processing systems and services;
  • access control;
  • only authorized employees have access to your personal data, and such employees are obliged to keep your information confidential.

When you create an account on our website to use our services, be sure to choose a password of appropriate length and difficulty (your password must contain: uppercase and lowercase characters, at least one special character (%/&/@), length must be 8 and more characters), do not disclose that password to any third party, and inform us immediately if you become aware of unauthorized access or use of your account. Also, we suggest using a unique password that is not used for other online accounts and to log out when you are done working on a general computer.

Notwithstanding the safeguards we take, it is essential to remember that data transfer via the Internet may not be entirely safe, and that you should take adequate precautions when transferring data to us over the Internet. Please note that even though we will do everything in our power to protect your personal data, the security of your data transmitted to our site cannot be guaranteed, and any transmission is at your own risk. After receiving your data, strict procedures and safeguards will be used to try to prevent unauthorized access.

10. Advertising 

We may share your personal data with our marketing partners for purposes of targeting, modeling and/or analytics, also for marketing and advertising activities, so as to provide you with the optimal user experience. If you would like to withdraw your consent to marketing processing and newsletter, please contact us by kunapay@kunapay.io.

11. Personal data retention period 

Your personal data will only be kept by us for as long as necessary to accomplish the purposes for which we collected it, including to fulfill any legal, accounting or reporting obligations, to comply with Anti-Money Laundering laws or to settle disputes and/or legal claims. This decision varies on a case-by-case basis and depends on factors such as the type of data, the reason for its collection and processing, and the applicable legal or operational requirements for retention. 

Please also note that in accordance with our legal or regulatory obligations and international data retention standards, you give us your consent and permission to store your personal data for the entire duration of the business relationship with you and for a period of five years after the termination of the business relationship.
