4. PERSONAL DATA SUBJECT TO PROCESSING


Bit2Me will communicate the following data to Paylead for the provision of this service:

  • A client identifier, consisting of a series of numbers and letters, specific to each user; 

  • Anonymized IBAN (International Bank Account Number) (i.e., only some digits of the IBAN number); 

  • The nature/type of account; 

  • Name of the entity; 

  • Payment account references; 

  • The location, date, label, and associated anonymized PAN (last 4 digits) of the payment transactions, (including up to 6 months of transaction history);


By analyzing your transactions, PayLead also identifies and processes your consumption habits (your preferred brands, your favorite stores, the geographical areas where you usually shop, your average basket), your average salary, your exceptional income, or other life events that can be inferred from your purchases (such as weddings, births, etc.).

As part of the user support process, we may process additional personal data of any kind that you provide to us. In doing so, we will limit the information used to that which is necessary to respond to your request, and we suggest that you only provide us with the information we request for this purpose.

Regarding the six-month transaction history, PayLead needs to obtain this information as a necessary condition to provide the service, as it is essential to perform the analysis of transaction data to determine the possibility of benefiting from the different offers of the Rewards Program. If you do not wish to share your transaction history, you will not be able to participate in the Rewards Program.


5. RETENTION PERIOD OF YOUR DATA


Your personal data is used for a specific period of time, strictly limited to the purposes for which it is collected:

  • Your bank transaction data is deleted after two years (from the date of the transaction) if they have not generated a reward payment. 

  • Your transaction data is deleted after five years (from the date of the transaction) if they have generated a reward payment. 

When you decide to unsubscribe from the Rewards Program, PayLead will delete all your personal data, except for that related to the payment of rewards, which will be kept, duly blocked, for the aforementioned five-year period.

In addition, Bit2Me may keep certain personal data, duly blocked, for a period of ten years, if necessary to comply with regulations on money laundering and the financing of terrorism, as established in its Privacy Policy.

You have more information about the retention of your personal data by both companies in their respective Privacy Policies.
