We collect personal data about individuals from various sources described below. Where applicable, we indicate whether and why individuals must provide us with personal data, as well as the consequences of failing to do so.

1. A. Information that we collect when a merchant’s customer interacts with a POS

(i) Information that we collect when individuals make a payment

When you make a payment at a merchant using a Point of Sale system (“POS”), we collect information about the transaction, which may include personal data. Information about transactions includes the payment card used, name associated with the payment card, electronic signature, name and location of the merchant at which the transaction occurred, date and time of the transaction, transaction amount, and information about the goods or services purchased in the transaction.

• Your marketing preferences, such as whether you wish to receive marketing communications or newsletters
• Information about your participation in a merchant’s loyalty program, if offered and if you choose to participate
• Other information you choose to enter into the POS, such as your birthdate, interests or preferences, reviews, and feedback

1. B. Information that we collect from merchants about their customers

Our merchants may provide us with information about their customers. This information may include uploaded email addresses, phone numbers, and purchase history, for instance when we manage promotions or marketing communications or perform other services on behalf of a merchant.

1. C. Information that we collect about merchants and their personnel

We may collect personal data directly from merchants (including prospective customers) about themselves and their personnel. We may collect information from these parties in a variety of contexts, such as when completing one of our online forms, making an application for one of our products or services, interacting with us on social media, or corresponding with us. The types of information we obtain in these contexts include:

• Contact information of the business entity and its personnel who interact with us, such as name, job title, address, telephone number, and email address
• Profile information, such as username and password that an individual may establish on one of our websites or mobile applications, along with any other information that an individual enters into their account profile
• Demographic details, such as date of birth, country of citizenship and/or country of residence
• Information about individuals’ affiliation with a legal entity, such as an individual’s role, and whether he or she is a beneficial owner or authorized signatory

• Marketing information, such as your preferences for receiving marketing communications, merchant surveys, and details about how you engage with our marketing communications

1. D. Information collected via third-party applications

A merchant may choose to install third-party applications on its POS, much like an individual can install applications on their mobile phone or tablet device. We may receive personal data about merchants, merchant’s customers, or merchant’s personnel as a result of the merchant’s use of the third-party application, such as when the application enhances or performs services related to the personal data and returns information to the merchant’s account. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party applications that are run on the POS or the scope or quality of the data that such an application transmits to us; however, we will treat the data we receive from the third-party application in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. E. Information that we collect about job applicants to Rebel Payments

We collect information about job applicants, such as name and contact information, professional credentials and skills, educational and work history, and other information of the type included on a resume or curriculum vitae. We may collect this information when an individual provides it to us directly or when another party, such as a recruiter, provides it.

1. F. Information that we collect from private and publicly accessible sources

We and our service providers may collect information about individuals that is publicly available, including by searching publicly accessible government lists of restricted or sanctioned persons (such as the Specially Designated Nationals And Blocked Persons List), public records databases (such as company registries and regulatory filings), and by searching media and the internet. We and or our third-party verification providers may also collect information from private or commercially available sources, such as by requesting reports or information from credit reference and fraud prevention agencies, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

We may also maintain pages for our company and our products and services on a variety of third-party platforms, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, Instagram, and other social networking services. When individuals interact with our pages on those third-party platforms, the third-party’s privacy policy will govern your interactions on the relevant platform. If the third-party platform provides us with information about our pages on those platforms or your interactions with them, we will treat that information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

1. G. Information collected via automated means

When you access our websites or use our mobile applications, we, our service providers, and our partners may automatically collect information about you, your computer or mobile device, and activity on our websites or mobile applications.

1. H. Sensitive personal data

In limited circumstances and when permitted by law, we may collect a merchant’s and/or their employee’s biometric data to confirm a merchant’s and/or their employee’s identity, such as when they authenticate a payment or sign into their POS device using their fingerprint. In some circumstances, we may collect information that may reveal health or medical information, such as when we process transactions at health or medical facilities or pharmacies. In the context of processing employment applications, we may also request sensitive information, such as racial or ethnic origin, where required or permitted by law of the country in which you are applying for employment.

Outside of these contexts or otherwise as we specifically request, we ask that you not provide us with any sensitive personal data (meaning information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic, health, or biometric information, information about sex life or sexual orientation, or criminal convictions or offenses) through our websites or mobile applications, or otherwise to us.

We may contact merchants and merchant’s personnel with marketing communications using the personal data that the merchant provided to us if the merchant actively expresses interest in making a purchase of our products or services or have made a purchase from us and, in any case, have not opted out of receiving that marketing, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us using the details at Contact us section or clicking on the opt-out link included in each marketing message.

We may disclose your personal data to our subsidiaries and corporate affiliates – including those in the Rebel Holdings group of companies – for purposes consistent with this Privacy Notice.

1. C. Third-party applications that run on the POS

Third-party applications that a merchant has installed on a POS may be capable of providing instructions to us to engage in a transfer of personal data, similar to how a merchant could provide such directions. For example, an application may direct Clover to export data or reports to a third-party cloud storage system. Merchants are responsible for their use of third-party applications, the directions that the application provides to Clover, and Clover’s reliance on those directions. Rebel is not responsible for the privacy policy or practices of any third-party application.

1. D. Merchants

When Rebel performs services for merchants, it may share personal data with those merchants. For example, Rebel may collect information about a merchant’s customers from or on behalf of the merchant, such as when Rebel processes payment transactions, and Rebel may provide personal data about those customers back to the merchant. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of merchants who use our services.

1. Participants in the transaction processing chain
