In the language of the General Data Protection Regulation, Simba Money is the “controller” of your personal data, and you, our customer, are the “data subject”. This means that Simba Money determines the purposes and means of the processing of your personal data, while respecting your privacy rights.
We may collect and process the following information about you:
You do not have to disclose any of the above data to us. However, if you choose not to, we may not be able to provide you with the Service.
The following are reasons why we are collecting information:
In general, we are required to collect personal data including any “know-your-customer” information, verification of your identity and transaction records, and communications with you in order to comply with our legal obligations. In order to fulfill our contract with you and provide the Service we will process your personal data and relevant third-party data to process your transactions, and collect payment for your use of the Service. The same applies in relation to competitions and campaigns, we will process the personal data of the participants and the winners to fulfill our part of the contract.
As long as you are a customer we believe that it is in your interest to receive occasional information about the Service and we may therefore send you marketing notices, service updates, and promotional offers that we believe are relevant for you based on your previous use of the Service. For the same reason, we may also process your data to analyze our business operations in order to improve the Service. In situations where you give us specific consent to process certain kinds of personal data, you are able to withdraw that consent at any time. We will then stop processing such data and, if no other legal ground for keeping your personal data apply, we will also erase your data from our system.
Depending on what purpose your data is used for, the length of time we keep it may vary. Either way, we will only hold your data as long as necessary to serve the purpose it is used for. In general, we are required to keep our customer records including any “know-your-customer” information, for five years after a customer’s most recent transaction in order to comply with our legal obligations.
Please note that we may retain any personal data mentioned above for a longer period than stated above, if required by law or if required to protect the rights, property, or safety of Simba Money or of the Service provided by us or our partners.
Third-party service providers under contracts to provide services to us may have access to personal data, however, they are obligated to handle such data with the same level of care as Simba Money. In case your personal data is processed by a third party, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure that your data remains protected.
We may disclose your personal data to the following third parties:
Personal data which is submitted via our Service is sent to and stored on secure servers owned by, or operated for, us in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Such data may be transferred to, or stored at, a destination outside the EEA and may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our service providers. Such transfers may be made in order to operate the Service, improve our Service, or to assist in our security or fraud protection activities.
Where recipients are outside the EEA, we will ensure that they provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data or that the transfer is otherwise permitted under applicable data protection legislation e.g. by using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, by relying on a relevant adequacy decision by the European Commission, or on other legal grounds in accordance with applicable law.
The General Data Protection Regulation establishes certain rights in relation to your personal data, which are listed below:
At any time, you are welcome to contact us in relation to these rights. However, please note that there are certain exceptions where these rights may be superseded by laws and other requirements applicable to regulated financial institutions like Simba Money. An example of this would be the obligatory retention period, which supersedes the right to data erasure.
