Please ensure that those other people are aware of this notice and that the provisions of this notice are clearly communicated to them.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR DATA AND WHO DO WE SHARE IT WITH?

TRANSACTIONAL PURPOSES

We need to collect your personal information in order to process your transactions. To do so we require you and your beneficiaries bank account details or full name and address. Without the Receiver Information we would not be able to fulfil your transactions.

REGULATORY PURPOSES

As a regulated institution, HB Money Trasnfer must comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017. As a result, HB Money Trasnfer (and its partners) must conduct Know Your Customer (“KYC”) and Customer Due Diligence (“CDD”) checks to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. Any personal information obtained for the purposes of preventing money laundering or terrorist financing is only used for that purpose. There may be occasions where use of the data is permitted under another enactment. All of this helps us keep our service safe and secure.

MARKETING PURPOSES

We may process your personal information to provide you with certain types of marketing communication that we believe will be relevant and of interest to you. This helps us to provide a more personalised service. We will always endeavour to make these communications relevant and un-intrusive, and you are able to object to marketing communication from us at any time.

ANALYTICAL PURPOSES

We may collect and analyse data such as website or app visit logs, on our own or by using services of third parties, in order to improve the quality of our service.In addition, we may share your personal data with third parties when it is necessary for the fulfilment of the service or to comply with applicable laws. We set out below some purposes for which we may share your personal information with third parties:

  • we may share your personal information with third parties, such as our partners and intermediaries, when they are necessary for the fulfilment of the service; and
  • we may share your personal information when required by law, for example for the purposes of security, taxation and criminal investigations.

We may also, from time to time, ask you for your consent for other purposes, which we will explain to you at the time. Much of what we do with your personal data is not based on your consent and is instead based on other legal grounds.
