DATA WE COLLECT
When you visit the coinspay Site, you may provide us with two types of information: personal information that you voluntarily disclose or that is collected on an individual basis; and information collected automatically when you use the coinspay Site or our Services including, without limitation, information that we obtain from our partners (collectively, the “Information”).
We collect and process this Information for the purpose of providing Services and information about our Services to you and/or to comply with legal requirements. You may be asked to provide personal information anytime you are in contact with us. Any information you provide to us that is not required is voluntary. You are free to choose whether to provide us with the types of personal information requested, but we may not be able to serve you as effectively or offer you all of our Services when you choose not to share certain information with us.
Personal Information
Personal information is data that can be used to identify you directly or indirectly, or to contact you. This Privacy Policy covers all personal information that you voluntarily submit to us and that we obtain from our partners. This Privacy Policy does not apply to anonymised data, as it cannot be used to identify you. Personal information means any information that is unique to you, such as your:
• full legal name, date of birth, age, nationality, gender, signature, utility bills, phone number, email address and home address;
• passport or other photo identification such as a driver’s license or national identification card, other photographs like selfies;
• user ID, security questions, authentication data, transaction information, financial information, cryptocurrency or wallet addresses; and
• other personal information you choose to provide.
With your permission, we may also access other personal information on your device, such as your phone book, calendar or messages, in order to provide Services to you. If authorized by you, we may also access profile and other information from services like Facebook.
We may also collect and obtain information about you in order to comply with our legal obligations, such as anti-money laundering laws. We may obtain information about you from third party sources as required or permitted by applicable law, such as public databases, credit bureaus, ID verification partners, channel partners, joint marketing partners, and social media platforms. For example, we obtain information about you from public databases and ID verification partners for purposes of verifying your identity when you sign up for our Services or use our Services. Our ID verification partners use a combination of government records and publicly available information about you to verify your identity. Such information includes your name, address, job role, public employment profile, credit history, status on any sanction lists maintained by public authorities, and other relevant data. Pursuant to European Economic Area (“EEA”) data protection law, our lawful basis for processing such data is compliance with our legal obligations. In some cases, we may process additional data about you to ensure our Services are not being used fraudulently or for other illicit activities.
By using our Services or providing us with your personal information, you also consent for us to collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition to providing the foregoing information, if you choose to correspond further with us through e-mail or through the “contact” section of the coinspay Site or through events and public social networking platforms, we may retain, use and disclose the content of your messages together with your user ID and e-mail address and our responses.

(“GDPR”).
SOCIAL SHARING FEATURES
The coinspay Site may offer social sharing features, links to social media and other integrated tools. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your contacts or the public, depending on the settings you use with the entity that provides the social sharing feature or social media. Please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features to obtain more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the processing of such data by such entities.
HYPERLINKS AND THIRD-PARTY SITES
The coinspay Site may contain links to other third-party websites that may collect personal information about you, including through cookies or other technologies. If you link to another website, you will leave the coinspay Site and this Privacy Policy will not apply to your use of and activity on those other websites. You should consult these other websites’ privacy policies as we have no control over them and are not responsible for any information that is submitted to or collected by these third parties.
MARKETING AND ONLINE COMMUNICATION
We require your consent to send you marketing communications (for example: email marketing, exclusive offers, etc).
If you are a new customer and located in the EEA, we will contact you by electronic means (email or SMS) for marketing purposes only if you have consented to such communication. If you are a current customer residing in the EEA, we will only contact you by electronic means with information about our Services that are similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale or negotiations of a sale to you.
If you do not want us to use your personal information for direct marketing purposes or to pass your personal information on to third parties for marketing purposes, you can withdraw your consent by logging into your account at https://www.coinspay.org/acct-gdpr or contact us at [email protected]. Direct marketing includes any communications to you that are only based on advertising or promoting products and services.
As mentioned above, you can opt out of our marketing communications anytime. However, certain electronic communication between us and you is necessary for usage of our Services including login notifications, withdrawal confirmations, deposit notifications and 2-Factor Authentication (this can be replaced with Google Authenticator, Authy, or Trezor). We highly recommend that you do not turn off 2-Factor Authentication as this provides the maximum amount of security for your account.
If you chose not to consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy or opt out of receiving notifications from us that makes it difficult or impractical for us to provide Services to you, we will grant you a period of 10 business days from the moment you do not consent or opt out to move your assets into an external digital wallet of your choosing and close your account.
PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We take reasonable administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to safeguard and protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. This includes utilizing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the personal information you input, and storing your personal information in encrypted form behind a firewall designed to block access from outside our network. However, no security or encryption method can be guaranteed to protect information from hackers or human error, no computer security system is entirely foolproof and the Internet is not a secure method of transmitting information. As a result, we do not assume any responsibility for the data you submit to or receive from us through the Internet or for any unauthorized access or use of that information and we cannot and do not guarantee that personal information communicated by you to us or sent to you by us will be received or that it will not be altered before or after its transmission to us.
We cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, unauthorized acquisition, or alteration of your Information will not occur. Please recognize that you play a vital role in protecting your own Information. When providing information on the coinspay Site or accessing or using our Services, you should choose a password of sufficient length and complexity, not reveal this password to any third parties, and to immediately notify us if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
Furthermore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or confidentiality of Information you transmit to us or receive from us by Internet or wireless connection, including email, phone, or SMS, since we have no way of protecting that Information once it leaves and until it reaches us. If you have reason to believe that your data is no longer secure, please contact us at [email protected].
RETENTION PERIOD OF DATA
Information we collect may be stored or processed on computers located in any country where we do business. We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations or to resolve disputes. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things such as the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, we may retain certain information for accounting and security purposes even after our business relationship with you has ceased.
RIGHTS YOU HAVE WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You have certain individual rights regarding the personal information that we collect and process about you through the coinspay Site.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies as a default. You may wish to opt out by turning off cookies (please refer to the help menu on your browser); however, switching off cookies may restrict your use of the coinspay Site.
You may also opt out of receiving promotional communications from us at any time by following the instructions in those communications. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as technical notices, support or administrative notifications or information about your account (if you have one).
You have the right to:
• access or receive certain data about the personal information we process about you;
• have your personal information rectified;
• object to the processing of your personal information or ask us to restrict processing or delete your personal information;
• withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information; and
• not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of your personal information, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, save for the exceptions applicable under relevant data protection laws.
If the GDPR applies and we process your personal information to perform a contract with you or based on your consent, you also have the right to receive a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format for the purpose of transferring such information to a third party. This information will be provided subject to some fee associated with gathering of the information (as permitted by law), unless such provision adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others.
Please note, however, that your rights are subject to exceptions or derogations. Specifically, we may need to further process and retain your Information to perform a contract with you or your company or organization, to protect our legitimate interests (such as the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims) or to comply with legal requirements. To the extent permitted by law, namely to protect the rights and freedoms of others or to protect our own legitimate interests, we may therefore refuse to satisfy your request or we may satisfy your request only on a restricted basis.
Lastly, you have a right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.
CHILDREN’S PERSONAL INFORMATION
We do not knowingly collect personal information from any person under the age of 18. If a user submitting personal information is suspected of being younger than 18 years of age, we will require the user to close his or her account and will not allow the user to continue to use our Services. We will also take steps to delete the Information as soon as possible. Please notify us if you or anyone you know is under the age of 18 and are using our Services so we can take action to prevent access to our Services.
COMPLAINTS
You have the right to complain about our processing of your personal information to the relevant data protection authority. You can complain in the European Union member state where you reside or work, or in the place where the alleged breach of data protection law has taken place.
