For the purpose of this Notice, “Global Payments”, and refer to Global Payments Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as the context requires. Our privacy practices vary depending on the services we provide and the country-specific requirements for the countries in which we operate.

We may disclose anonymized or aggregated data to our global affiliates and with other third parties. This Notice does not restrict Global Payments' use or disclosure of any anonymized or aggregated information.

Where we maintain or use de-identified information, we will continue to maintain and use the de-identified information only in a de-identified fashion and will not attempt to re-identify the information.

 

Sources of Personal Information

Information that you provide to us: We collect personal information that you provide to us when you set up an account with us, use our services, or communicate with us. For example, if you register for an online account with us, we may request your name, contact information, and business information. Providing us with personal information is voluntary, and you can always choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in some of the services.

Information collected from third parties: We may collect information about you from third parties in the course of providing our services. For example, we may collect Identifiers and Commercial information from a referral partner or other third party in order to contact you about the services we provide. We may also receive business-related information about you from third-party companies that supplement our business customer records with, for example, professional information.

Information collected through technology: When you visit our Sites or Apps or interact with an email we send to you, we may collect certain information automatically such as your account or device identifier, and usage information such as pages that you visit, information about links you click, the types of content you interact with, the frequency and duration of your activities, and other information about how you use our services. You have the ability to express your preference regarding some of the ways we collect information through technology in some of our services (see Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies for more information). When you download and use our Apps, we and our service providers may track and collect App usage data, such as the date and time the App on your device accesses our servers and what information and files have been downloaded to the App based on your device number. Subject to your consent where required by law, we may collect geolocation in the Sites or Apps for the purpose of enabling location-based services.

Our Legal Basis for Collecting and Using Personal Information

Our legal basis for collecting, using and storing personal information may depend on the specific service with which you are engaging.  In most cases, when we process personal information on behalf of our Customer, our legal basis is the performance of a contract.  In some contexts, such as when we engage in direct marketing, our legal basis for processing personal information is consent.  When we rely on legitimate interest as the legal basis for our processing of personal information, we have procedures in place to ensure that we are balancing our interests and rights against the impact to the individual and their applicable statutory or fundamental rights.

 

How we Disclose the Personal Information We Collect

We are a multinational business headquartered in the United States, with subsidiaries and affiliates in countries around the world.

• To third parties in connection with any proposed or actual reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

You can find additional information about how those third parties use personal information in the applicable third party privacy notice.

Using cookies, we collect information like country location, language preference and other settings. Cookies can also help us to operate our services more efficiently and securely, remember you for future visits and enhance your user experience by providing real-time tools including user guides and chatbots. We also gather statistical information about the use of our services in order to continually improve their design and functionality, understand how they are used, and assist us with resolving questions regarding them.

The cookies and tracking technologies that we may use fall into the following categories:

Strictly Necessary. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions taken by you such as logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but blocking them may impede the functionality of the Sites and Apps.

Performance. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Functional. These cookies enable the Sites and Apps to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some of these services may not function properly.

Targeting. These cookies may be set through our Sites and Apps by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

External Links

Global Payments may provide links on our Sites and Apps to third-party websites or services that are not under our control. We do not endorse or make any warranty of any type regarding the content contained on such third-party websites or services or the products and services they offer. We make no representation regarding your use of such websites or services. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of the operators of other websites or services. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Sites and Apps. You should read any other applicable privacy and cookies notices carefully before accessing and using third-party websites and services.

 

Our Relationship with Affiliate Companies (Including Disclosures and Cross-Border Transfers)

Subject to your consent if required by applicable law, we may appoint an affiliate company to process personal information in a service provider role. We will typically remain responsible for that company’s processing of personal information pursuant to applicable data privacy laws.

Because our affiliate companies are located around the globe, personal information may be transferred to and stored in the United States or in another country outside of the country in which you reside, which may be subject to different standards of data protection than your country of residence.

We take appropriate steps to transfer personal information in accordance with applicable law, such as transferring personal information to countries that are recognized as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where alternative adequate arrangements are in place to protect your privacy rights.

 

Data Security and Data Retention

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide via the Sites and Apps against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use.

Any suspected attempt to breach our policies and procedures, or to engage in any type of unauthorized action involving our information systems, is regarded as potential criminal activity. Suspected computer mischief may be reported to the appropriate authorities.

Please remember that communications over the internet such as emails are not secure.  We seek to keep secure personal information submitted to us through the Sites and Apps in accordance with our obligations under applicable laws and regulations. However, like all website operators, we cannot guarantee the security of any data transmitted through the Sites and Apps.

We retain the personal information we collect for different periods of time depending on what it is and how we use it. In some contexts, we will provide additional information about retention as you use the services.  When we collect personal information, we will retain it only for as long as is necessary to complete the legitimate business or legal purposes for which we collected it.  The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

• The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you, for example, for as long as you have an account with us or continue to use our services, and the length of time thereafter during which we may have a legitimate need to reference personal information to address issues that may arise;
• Whether there is a contractual obligation to which we are subject, for example, our contracts with our Customers may specify a certain period of time during which we are required to maintain the information on behalf of our Customers;
• Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject, for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them; and
• Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position, such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations.

 

Login Details and Your Responsibility

Subject to your consent if required by law, we will collect and process personal information as necessary to set up and administer your sign up to, and use of, the log in facility available on our Sites and Apps. We will use cookies to “remember” the machine or other device you use to access our Sites and Apps (see Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies above). Please remember that if we contact you, we will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited email, message or phone call. If you choose to use the log in facility available on our Sites and Apps, you are required to adhere to the security procedures we establish in the documentation we provide you as part of the services.

 

Managing Your Preferences

Subject to your consent if required by applicable law, we may use personal information to provide you with direct marketing information about our products and services as well as those of our global affiliates and third parties. Our direct marketing may occur through email, telephone, post or SMS or such other method(s) as may become relevant.

We will take steps to ensure that any direct marketing from us will provide a simple means for you to stop further communications, in accordance with applicable law. For example, in email, we may provide you with an “unsubscribe” link, or an email address to which you can send an opt-out request. In addition, if we need your consent for direct marketing communications under applicable law, and if you provide your consent, you will be able to change your mind at any time. Please note that if you opt out of receiving marketing-related communications from us, we may still send you administrative, transactional, or information messages, from which you cannot opt out.

However, the companies who provide those cookies to us also have access to the data collected through them, and they may use that data for targeted advertising purposes. Our use of those third-party cookies could therefore be considered a “share” of your personal information under California law or processing for targeted advertising under other privacy laws.
