How we share the personal data we collect

Except as otherwise specified, we may share your personal data in the manner and for the purposes described below:

  • With Global Payments’ affiliates where such disclosure is necessary to provide you with our services or to manage our business.  
  • With third-party service providers whose systems, applications, products or services help us to provide the services. For example, we may share personal data with IT service providers who help manage our back office systems or administer our websites and mobile applications. These service providers are under contractual obligations and have agreed to confidentiality restrictions and to only use any personal data we share with them, or which they collect on our behalf, for the purpose of providing the contracted service to us. We may also share identifiers with logistics service providers to enable the delivery of packages to individuals.
  • With our customer with whom you are also engaging when you use the services. Each such customer operates independently from Global Payments and their collection and use of your personal data is not subject to this notice but to their own privacy notices.
  • With other third parties  including financial institutions such as Visa®, MasterCard®, Discover® Card services, and banking institutions involved in supporting, clearing or settling payment-related transactions.
  • With advertisers and analytics providers, we may share internet/electronic activity information in order to help us measure our ad campaigns and better understand how individuals interact with our websites and mobile applications.

Global Payments may also disclose personal data about you if it believes such disclosure is necessary to comply with laws or respond to lawful requests and legal process, to enforce our agreements, policies and terms of use and to protect or defend the rights, safety or property of Global Payments, users of the services or any person.

Unless otherwise disclosed in a specific notice, and subject to your consent, if required by applicable law, we do not sell your personal data to third parties.

Our relationship with affiliate companies (Including sharing and cross-border transfers)

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

Because our affiliate companies are located around the globe, your personal data 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 will take appropriate steps to ensure that transfers of personal data are made in accordance with applicable law, are carefully managed to protect your privacy rights and interests and limited to countries which are recognised as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where alternative adequate arrangements are in place to protect your privacy rights. As required by law, Global Payments implements adequate safeguards to ensure the protection of personal data transferred outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom.

Login details and your responsibility

Subject to your consent, if required by law, we will collect and process your personal data as necessary to set up and administer your sign up to, and use of, the log in facility available on our websites and mobile applications. With your consent, we will use “cookies” to recognise the machine or other device you use to access our websites. 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 websites and mobile applications, you are required to adhere to the security procedures we establish in the documentation we provide you as part of the services.

How we protect and dispose of personal information

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal data you provide against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use.

Any suspected attempt to breach our policies and procedures and the security of our systems, or to engage in any type of unauthorised action involving our information systems, is regarded as potential criminal activity. Suspected attempts to access or use our systems in a way that is inconsistent with our legal terms or security controls 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 all confidential information and personal data submitted to us 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 Internet. 

We store some personal data we collect and use on servers located in the United States. Therefore, your information may be subject to the laws of the United States and appropriate safeguards as required under applicable law. When we no longer need your personal data to provide the services, it will be securely deleted or de-identified in a manner that ensures you cannot be re-identified. Where we are collecting or storing your personal data on behalf of our customer, the retention of your personal data may be subject to our contractual obligations to our customer.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Subject to your consent, if required by law, we may use unique device identifiers like IP address to recognise a user’s computer or other device used to access our websites and mobile applications. Cookies or similar tracking technologies are used to help us remember information about your visit to the site, like your country, language and other settings, allowing us to understand who has seen which websites, advertisements, or emails we have sent to determine how frequently particular pages are visited, as well as the relevance and effectiveness of our messages. They can also help us to operate our websites more efficiently and make your next visit easier.

When technically feasible and as required under applicable laws, we will enable tools to help you make choices about cookies and other tracking technologies. You may also delete or block cookies at any time by changing your browser settings. If you delete or block cookies, some features of the websites may not function properly.

External Links

We may provide links on our websites to other websites that are not under our control. We do not endorse or make any warranty of any type regarding the content contained on such websites or products and services offered on those websites. We make no representation regarding your use of such websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of the operators of other websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our websites and to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personal data. This notice applies solely to information collected by Global Payments.

Managing Your Preferences

Subject to your consent if required by applicable law, we may use your personal data 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 be by email, telephone, post or SMS or such other method(s) as may become relevant. In addition, we may provide direct marketing information and permit others to do that as allowed by our customers’ respective contracts.

We will take steps to seek to ensure that any direct marketing from us and which is sent by electronic means will provide a simple means for you to stop further communications, in accordance with applicable law. For example, in emails, we 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.

Your Legal Rights

If you use our website or mobile applications for the purpose of engaging with one of our customers and have questions about legal rights you may have with respect to your personal information collected by our Customer, please consult the customer with which you have engaged.
