Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 June, 2023

 

This Privacy Policy includes important information about your personal data and we encourage you to read it carefully.

Welcome

Skubbs wants to be clear about our use of the Personal Data that is entrusted to us.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the “Personal Data” that we collect about you, how we use it, how we share it, your rights and choices, and how you can contact us about our privacy practices. This Policy also outlines your data subject rights, including the right to object to some uses of your Personal Data by us. Please visit the Skubbs Privacy Center for more information about our privacy practices.

“Skubbs”, “we”, “our” or “us” means the Skubbs entity responsible for the collection and use of Personal Data under this Privacy Policy. It differs depending on your jurisdiction.

“Personal Data” means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, and can include information that you provide to us and that we collect about you, such as when you engage with our Services (e.g. device information, IP address).

“Services” means the products and services that Skubbs indicates are covered by this Policy, which may include Skubbs-provided devices and apps. Our “Business Services” are Services provided by Skubbs to entities (“Business Users”) who directly and indirectly provide us with “End Customer” Personal Data in connection with those Business Users’ own business and activities. Our “End User Services” are those Services which Skubbs provides directly to people (rather than entities) for their own use.

“Sites” means Skubbs.com and the other websites, apps and online services that Skubbs indicates are covered by this Policy. Collectively, we refer to Sites, Business Services and End User Services as “Services”.

Depending on the context, “you” means End Customer, End User, Representative or Visitor:

  • When you directly use an End User Service for your personal use (such as when you sign up for Link, or make a payment to Skubbs Climate in your personal capacity), we refer to you as an “End User.”
  • When you do business with, or otherwise transact with, a Business User (e.g. when you buy a pair of shoes from a merchant that uses Skubbs Checkout for payment processing) but are not directly doing business with Skubbs, we refer to you as an “End Customer.”
  • When you are acting on behalf of an existing or potential Business User (e.g. you are a founder of a company, administer an account for a merchant who is a Business User, or receive an employee credit card from a Business User using Skubbs Issuing), we refer to you as a “Representative.”

Depending on the activity, Skubbs acts as a “data controller” and/or “data processor (or service provider)” and for more information about this and on the Skubbs entity that is responsible under this Policy.

  10. Personal Data that we collect and how we use and share it

Our collection and use of Personal Data changes depending on whether you are acting as End User, End Customer, Representative or Visitor and our different Services.

“Transaction Data” as used in this Privacy Policy includes Personal Data, and may include the following: your name, email address, billing address, shipping address, payment method information (such as credit or debit card number, bank account information or payment card image selected by you), merchant and location, purchase amount, date of purchase, and in some cases, some information about what you have purchased and your phone number and past purchases.

1.1 End Users

We provide End User Services where we do not act as a service provider or processor to Businesses but instead provide the Services directly to you for your personal use (e.g. Link). We provide more information about our collection, use and sharing of Personal Data in our Privacy Center, including the legal bases which we rely on for using (processing) your Personal Data.

  1. Personal Data that we collect about End Users
  • Using Link or Connecting your Bank Account. Skubbs offers you the opportunity to store your payment methods with Skubbs so that you can conveniently use it across merchants who are our Business Users (“Link” was formerly known as “Remember Me”). When you opt in to Link, you agree to let us store your Personal Data such as your payment method so that you can more readily make purchases through Link with Business Users of our payment processing Business Services (e.g. name, contact information, payment method details (e.g. card number, cvc, and expiration date)). When you choose to pay with Link, we will also collect Transaction Data related to your transactions.
  • If you choose to share bank account information (including for use in Link) with us, Skubbs will periodically collect and process your account information (e.g. bank account owner information, account balances, account number and details, account transactions and, in some cases, credentials). With your separate permission, we will share this Personal Data with Business Users that you choose.  You can ask us to stop collecting and sharing this information.
  • With your separate permission, we will share contact information (e.g. shipping address, billing address and phone number) with Business Users that you do business with.
  • Paying Skubbs. If you are buying goods or services directly from Skubbs, we receive Transaction Data. For example, when you make a payment to Skubbs, we will collect contact information, payment method information, and information about that transaction.
  • Identity/Verification Services. We provide an identity verification service that automates comparing an identity document with your image (e.g., selfie).  You may choose to opt-in to allow us to store that verification for future use across other merchants and/or separately consent to letting us use your biometric data to improve our verification technology. You can also ask us to stop providing you these services.
  • More. Please see below for information about additional types of Personal Data that we may collect about End Users, including about your online activity and how you engage with our End User Services.
  1. How we use and share Personal Data of End Users
  • Services. We use your Personal Data to provide the End User Service to you, including security, sanctions screening, delivery, support, personalization (e.g. language preferences and settings choices) and messages related to the End User Service (e.g. communicating Policy updates and information about our Services). For example, we will use Personal Data to assess whether your use of Link to make a payment with a merchant is authorized by you (and not a bad actor) and likely to be successfully authorized by the payment method you choose to use when you choose to make purchases with Link.
  • Our Business Users. When you choose to connect your financial account with Skubbs you may also choose to share account information with Business Users that you do business with. These Business Users will have their own privacy policies which describe how they use that information.
  • Transactions. For payment transactions with Link, End User Personal Data is shared with others to enable or “process” the transaction. For example, when you choose to use a payment method for the transaction with Skubbs or with Link (e.g. credit card, debit card, buy now pay later, or direct debit), the third party provider of your payment method will receive Transaction Data that includes your Personal Data. When you use Link, the merchant you choose to do business with will also receive Transaction Data that includes your Personal Data and, with your separate consent, your bank account information. Please review the privacy policies of your payment method and the merchants who you choose to learn more about their processing of your Personal Data.
  • Advertising. We may use your Personal Data to assess your eligibility for, and offer you, other End User Services or promote existing End User Services. Where allowed by law (including with your opt-in consent where required), we use and share End User Personal Data with others so that we may market our End User Services to you, including through interest-based advertising. See our Cookie Policy.
  • We do not sell or share End User Personal Data with third parties for marketing or advertising their products without your separate consent.
  • More. Please see below for information about additional ways in which we may use and share your Personal Data.

1.2 End Customers

Skubbs offers Business Services to our Business Users (e.g. payment processing through in-person or online checkout, or processing pay-outs for those Business Users). When we are acting as a Business User’s service provider (also known as a data processor), we will process Personal Data in accordance with the terms of our agreement with the Business User and the Business User’s lawful instructions (e.g. when we process a payment for a Business User because you bought a product from them) or they instruct us to send funds to you.

Business Users are responsible for making sure that their End Customers’ privacy rights are respected, including ensuring appropriate disclosures about data collection and use that happens in connection with their products and services. If you are an End Customer, please refer to the privacy policy or notice of the Business User you choose to do business with for information regarding their privacy practices, choices and controls.  We provide more information about our collection, use and sharing of Personal Data in our Privacy Center, including the legal bases which we rely on for using (processing) your Personal Data.

  1. Personal Data that we collect about End Customers
  • Transaction Data. If you are an End Customer, when you make payments to, get refunds from, begin a purchase, make a donation or otherwise transact with a Business User that uses us to provide payment processing Business Services, we will receive Transaction Data. We may also receive your transaction history with the Business User. Moreover, we may obtain information typed into a checkout form, even if you choose not to complete the form or purchase with the Business User.
  • Identity/Verification Information. Skubbs provides a verification and fraud prevention Service that allows a Business User to verify Personal Data about you, such as your age (when purchasing age restricted goods) or your authorization to use a payment method. As part of these Services, you will be asked to share Personal Data with us for this purpose (e.g., your government ID, your image (selfie), and Personal Data you input or that is apparent from the physical payment method (e.g. credit card image)). To protect against fraud, we may compare this information with information about you we collect from Business Users, financial partners, business partners, identity verification services, publicly available sources, and other third-party service providers and sources so that we can assess whether the person is likely to be you or a person purporting to be you.
  • More. Please see below for information about additional types of Personal Data that we may collect, including your online activity.
  1. How we use and share Personal Data of End Customers

To provide our Business Services to our Business Users, we use Personal Data, and share Personal Data of a Business User’s End Customers with the Business User.  Where allowed, we also use End Customers’ Personal Data for Skubbs’s own purposes to secure, improve and provide our Business Services and prevent fraud, loss and other harms as described below.

  • Payments and Accounting. We use your Transaction Data to provide our Payments related Business Services to Business Users, including to process online payment transactions, to calculate applicable sales tax, to invoice and bill, and to help them calculate their revenue, pay their bills and perform accounting tasks. We may also use Personal Data to provide and improve our Business Services.
  • For payment transactions, your Personal Data is shared with a number of parties in connection with your transaction. Because we act as a service provider or processor, we share Personal Data to enable the transaction. For example, when you choose to use a payment method for the transaction (e.g. credit card, debit card, buy now pay later, or direct debit), your payment method will receive the Transaction Data that includes your Personal Data. Please review your payment method’s privacy policy to learn more about how they use and share this information.
  • The merchant you choose to do business with will also receive Transaction Data that includes your Personal Data and the merchant may share that Personal Data with others. Please review your merchant’s privacy policy to learn more.
  • Identity/Verification Services. We use Personal Data about your identity, including information provided by you and our service providers, to perform verification Services for Skubbs or for the Business Users that you are doing business with, to reduce fraud and enhance security. If you provide a “selfie” along with an image of your identity document, we will use technology to compare and calculate whether they match and you can be verified.
  • Fraud Detection and Loss Prevention. We use your Personal Data collected across our Services (e.g. Skubbs Radar) to detect and prevent losses for you, us, our Business Users and financial partners. We may provide Business Users (including card issuers, payment methods and others involved in payment processing activities) that use our fraud Business Services with Personal Data about you (including your attempted transactions) so that they can assess the fraud or loss risk associated with a transaction. You can learn more about how we may use technology to assess the fraud and loss risk associated with an attempted transaction and what information we may share with Business Users about such risks.
  • Our Business Users (their Authorized Third Parties). We share Personal Data of End Customers with their respective Business Users and with parties directly authorized by those Business Users to receive Personal Data. This includes sharing Personal Data of End Customers with Business Users when a Business User authorizes a third party application provider to access its Skubbs account using Skubbs Connect. For example, when the Business User uses Identity Services to verify an End Customer’s identity, Skubbs shares with the Business User the information, documents or photos provided by the End Customer to verify their identity. The Business Users you choose to do business with may further share your Personal Data to third parties they authorize (e.g. other third party service providers). Please review their privacy policy to learn more.
  • Advertising by Business Users. If you have begun a purchase, we share Personal Data with that Business User in connection with our provision of Services and that Business User may use your Personal Data to market and advertise their products or services, subject to the terms of their privacy policy. Please review your merchant’s privacy policy to learn more, including your rights to stop their use of your Personal Data for marketing purposes.
  • We do not use, sell or share End Customer Personal Data for our marketing or advertising, or for marketing and advertising by third parties who are not the Business User with which you have transacted or attempted to transact.

1.3 Representatives

To provide Business Services, we collect, use and share Personal Information from Representatives of Business Users (e.g. a business owner). We provide more information about our collection, use and sharing of Personal Data in our Privacy Center, including the legal bases which we rely on for using (processing) your Personal Data.

  1. Personal Data that we collect about Representatives
  • Registration and Contact Information. If you register for a Skubbs account for a Business User (including incorporation of a Business), we collect your name and account log-in credentials. If you register for an event that Skubbs organizes or attends or if you sign up for Skubbs communications, we collect your registration and profile information. If you are a Representative or Representative of a potential Business User, we receive your Personal Data from third parties (including data providers) in order to advertise to, market and communicate with you as described further below and in Section 2. We may also associate a location with you in order to assess which Services or information may be useful to you.
  • Identification Information. If you are an owner of a Business User or you are expected to be a shareholder, officer or director of a Business User, we require that you provide your contact details, such as name, postal address, telephone number, and email address to fulfill our financial partner and regulatory requirements. We will directly (and through others) collect Personal Data about you, such as your ownership interest in the Business User, your date of birth and government identifiers associated with you and your Business User (such as your social security number, tax number, or Employer Identification Number). You may also choose to provide bank account information.
  1. How we use and share Personal Data of Representatives

We generally use Personal Data of Representatives to provide the Business Services to the associated Business Users, as well as for the purposes described below.

  • Business Services. We use and share Personal Data of Representatives with Business Users to provide the Services you (or the Business User you are associated with) have requested.
  • In some cases our Business Service will require us to submit your Personal Data to a government entity (e.g. incorporating a business, or paying applicable sales tax).  For our tax Business Services, we may use your Personal Data to file taxes on behalf of your associated Business User. For our Atlas business incorporation services, we may use your Personal Data to submit forms to the IRS on your behalf and to file documents with other governmental authorities (e.g. articles of incorporation in your state of incorporation).
  • The use of Personal Data by a Business User’s authorized third party is subject to the third party’s privacy policy.
  • If you are a Business User and have chosen a name that includes Personal Data (e.g. a sole proprietorship or family name in a company name), we will share and use that information as any company name in connection with the provision of our Services (e.g. including it on receipts and other descriptions identifying financial transactions).
  • Advertising. Where allowed by applicable law, we use and share Representative Personal Data with others so that we may advertise and market our Services to you. Subject to applicable law (including any consent requirements), we may advertise to you through interest-based advertising and emails and seek to measure the effectiveness of our ads. See our Cookie Policy. We do not sell or share Representative Personal Data to others for their advertising purposes.

  1. More ways we collect, use and share Personal Data

In addition to the ways we collect, use and share Personal Data that are described above, we also process your Personal Data as follows:

  1. Personal Data Collection
  • Online Activity. Depending on the Service you use and the Business Users’ implementation of our Business Services, we will collect information about:
  • Devices and browsers across our Sites and third-party websites, apps and other online services (“Third-Party Sites”),
  • Usage data associated with those devices and browsers and how you’ve engaged with our Services, including IP address, plug-ins, language used, time spent on Sites and Third-Party Sites, pages visited, links clicked, payment methods used, and the pages that led or referred you to Sites and Third-Party Sites. For example, activity indicators, like mouse activity indicators, to help us detect fraud. Please also see our Cookie Policy.

  1. Personal Data Usage. In addition to the Personal Data usage described above, we use Personal Data in the following ways:
  • Improving and Developing our Services. We use analytics on our Sites to help us analyze your use of our Sites and Services and diagnose technical issues. To learn more about the cookies that may be served through our Sites and how you can control our use of cookies and third-party analytics, please see our Cookie Policy. We also collect and process Personal Data through our different Services, whether you are an End User, End Customer, Representative or Visitor, to improve our Services, develop new Services and support our efforts to make our Services more relevant and more useful to you.
  • Communications. We will use the contact information we have about you to perform the Services, which may include sending codes via SMS to authenticate you.  If you are an End User, Representative or Visitor, we may communicate with you using the contact information we have about you (e.g. using email, phone, text message or videoconference) to provide information about our Services and our affiliates’ services, invite you to participate in our events or surveys, or otherwise communicate with you for our marketing purposes, provided that we do so in accordance with applicable law, including any consent or opt-out requirements. For example, when you submit your contact information to us or when we collect your business contact details through our participation at trade shows or other events, we may use the information to follow-up with you regarding an event, send you information that you have requested on our products and services and include you on our marketing information campaigns.
  • Social Media and Promotions. If you choose to submit Personal Data to us to participate in an offer, program or promotion, we will use the Personal Data you submit to administer the offer, program or promotion. We will also use that Personal Data and Personal Data you make available on social media to market to you unless we are not permitted to do so.
  • Fraud Prevention and Security. We collect and use Personal Data to help us to detect and manage the activity of fraudulent and other bad actors across our Services, to enable our fraud detection Business Services, and to otherwise seek to secure our Services and transactions against unauthorized access, use, modification or misappropriation of Personal Data, information and funds. In connection with fraud and security monitoring, prevention, detection, and compliance activities for Skubbs and its Business Users, we receive information from service providers (including credit bureaus), third parties, and the Services we provide. We may collect information from you, and about you, from Business Users, financial parties and in some cases third parties. For example, to protect our Services, we may receive information from third parties about IP addresses that malicious actors have compromised.  This Personal Data (e.g. name, address, phone number, country) helps us to confirm identities, run credit checks subject to applicable law and prevent fraud. We may also use technology to assess the fraud risk associated with an attempted transaction by an End Customer or End User with a Business User or financial partner.
  • Compliance with Legal Obligations. We use Personal Data to meet our contractual and legal obligations related to anti-money laundering, Know-Your-Customer (“KYC”) laws, anti-terrorism, export control and prohibitions on doing business with restricted persons or in certain business areas and other legal obligations.  We strive to make our Services safe, secure and compliant, and the collection and use of Personal Data is critical to this effort. For example, we may monitor patterns of payment transactions and other online signals and use those insights to reduce the risk of fraud, money laundering and other activity that is harmful to Skubbs, our End Users and their End Customers.
  • Minors. The Services are not directed to minors, including children under the age of 13, and we request that they not provide Personal Data through the Services. In some countries, we may impose higher age limits as required by applicable law.
  1. Personal Data Sharing. In addition to the ways described above, we share Personal Data in the following ways:
  • Skubbs Affiliates. We share Personal Data with other Skubbs affiliated entities. When we share with these entities, it is for purposes identified in this Policy.
  • Service Providers or Processors. In order to provide Services to our Business Users and End Users and to communicate, market and advertise to Visitors, Representatives and End Users regarding our Services, we will rely on others to provide us services. Service providers provide a variety of critical services, such as hosting (storing and delivering), analytics to assess the speed, accuracy and/or security of our Services, identity verification, customer service, email and auditing. We authorize such service providers to use or disclose the Personal Data that we make available to perform services on our behalf and to comply with applicable legal requirements. We require such service providers to contractually commit to protect the security and confidentiality of Personal Data they process on our behalf. Our service providers are predominantly located in the European Union, the United States of America and India.
  • Others with Consent. In some cases we may not provide a service, but instead refer you to, or enable you to engage with, others to get services (e.g. professional services firms that we partner with to deliver Atlas). In these cases, we will disclose the identity of the third party and the information that will be shared with them and seek your consent to share the information.
  • Corporate Transactions. In the event that we enter into, or intend to enter into, a transaction that alters the structure of our business, such as a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, change of control, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock, we may share Personal Data with third parties in connection with such transaction. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your Personal Data, but subject to the terms of this Policy.

Compliance and Harm Prevention. We share Personal Data as we believe necessary: (i) to comply with applicable law, (ii) to comply with rules imposed by a payment method in connection with use of that payment method (e.g. network rules for Visa); (iii) to enforce our contractual rights; (iv) to secure or protect the Services, rights, privacy, safety and property of Skubbs, you or others, including against other malicious or fraudulent activity and security incidents; and (v) to respond to valid legal process requests from courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, and other public and government authorities, which may include authorities outside your country of residence.

  1. Process for exercising your data protection rights

To exercise your data protection rights please also see the Skubbs Privacy Center or contact us as described below.

  1. Security and retention

We make reasonable efforts to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the processing of your Personal Data. We maintain organizational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect Personal Data covered by this Policy against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration or misuse. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

To help us protect Personal Data, where you have an account with Skubbs, we encourage you to use a strong password, protect that password from unauthorized use and not use the same log-in credentials (e.g. password) for your Skubbs accounts as you do with other services or accounts. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (e.g. you feel that the security of your Skubbs account has been compromised), please contact us immediately.

We retain your Personal Data as long as we are providing the Services to you or our Business Users (as applicable) or for a period during which we reasonably anticipate providing the Services. Even after we stop providing Services directly to you or a Business User with which you are doing business, and even if you close your Skubbs account or complete a transaction with a Business User, we may retain your Personal Data:

  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
  • to enable fraud monitoring, detection and loss prevention activities.
  • to comply with our tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations
  • where required by our contractual commitments to our financial partners (and where data retention is mandated by the payment methods you used).

In cases where we keep Personal Data, we do so in accordance with any limitation periods and records retention obligations that are imposed by applicable law.

  1. International data transfers

We are a global business. We may transfer your Personal Data to countries other than your own country, including to the United States.

  • Transfers to certain countries or recipients that are recognised as having an adequate level of protection for Personal Data under applicable law.
