Privacy Policy

We provide economic infrastructure for the internet, blockchain and metaverse. Businesses of all sizes use our software and services to accept payments and manage their businesses online. Mobile Credits cares about the security and privacy of the personal data that is entrusted to us.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the “Personal Data” that we collect about you, how we use it, how we share it, your rights and choices, and how you can contact us about our privacy practices. This Policy also outlines your data subject rights, including the right to object to some uses of your Personal Data by us. Please visit the Mobile Credits Privacy page for more information about our privacy practices.

“Mobile Credits”, “we”, “our” or “us” means the Mobile Credits entity responsible for the collection and use of personal data under this Privacy Policy. It differs depending on your country.

“Personal Data” means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, and can include information about how you engage with our Services (e.g. device information, IP address).

“Services” means the products and services that Mobile Credits indicates are covered by this Policy, which may include Mobile Credits-provided devices and apps. Our “Business Services” are Services provided by Mobile Credits to entities (“Business Users”) who directly and indirectly provide us with “End Customer” Personal Data in connection with those Business Users’ own business and activities. Our “End User Services” are those Services which Mobile Credits directs to individuals (rather than entities) so that those individuals do business directly with Mobile Credits. “Sites” means Mobile Credits.com and the other websites that Mobile Credits indicates are covered by this Policy. Collectively, we refer to Sites, Business Services and End User Services as “Services”.

Depending on the context, “you” means End Customer, End User, Representative or Visitor:

• When you directly use an End User Service (such as when you sign up for Link, or make a payment to Mobile Credits Climate in your personal capacity), for your personal use, we refer to you as an “End User.”
• When you do business with, or otherwise transact with, a Business User (typically a merchant using Mobile Credits Checkout, e.g. when you buy a pair of shoes from a merchant that uses Mobile Credits for payment processing) but are not directly doing business with Mobile Credits, we refer to you as an “End Customer.”
• When you are acting on behalf of an existing or potential Business User (e.g. you are a founder of a company, or administering an account for a merchant who is a Business User), we refer to you as a “Representative.”
• When you visit a Site without being logged into a Mobile Credits account or otherwise communicate with Mobile Credits, we refer to you as a “Visitor.” (e.g. you send Mobile Credits a message asking for more information because you are considering being a user of our products).

Depending on the activity, Mobile Credits acts as a “data controller” or “data processor” and for more information about this and on the Mobile Credits entity that is responsible under this Policy, see below.

1. Personal data that we collect and how we use and share it

1.1 End Users

We provide End User Services where we do not act as a service provider to Businesses but instead provide the Services directly to you for your personal use (e.g. Link user). See below for further information on the legal bases which we rely on for using (processing) your Personal Data.

Personal data that we collect about End Users

• Using Link or Connecting your Bank Account. Mobile Credits offers you the opportunity to store your payment methods with Mobile Credits so that you can conveniently use it across merchants who are our Business Users – we call this “Link” (formerly known as “Remember Me”). When you opt in to Link, you agree to let us store your payment method so that you can more readily make purchases through Link with Business Users of our payment processing Business Services (e.g. name, card number, cvc, and expiration date). When you choose to pay with Link, we will also collect your Transaction Data.
  • If you choose to share bank account information (including for use in Link) with us, Mobile Credits will periodically collect and process your bank account information (e.g. account owner information, account balances, account number and details, account transactions and in some cases, credentials) until you ask us to disconnect your bank account.
• Paying Mobile Credits. If you are buying goods or services directly from Mobile Credits, we receive Transaction Data. For example, when you make a payment to Mobile Credits Climate, we will collect contact information, payment method information, information about that transaction and in some cases, shipping information.
• Other Services. We may offer other End User Services directly to you from time to time, including certain financial Services. Learn More for information about our collection and use of Personal Data.
• More. Please see below for information about additional types of Personal Data that we may collect, including about online activity.

How we use and share personal data of End Users

• Services. We use your Personal Data to provide the End User Service to you, including security, delivery, support, personalization and messages related to the End User Service (e.g. communicating Policy updates and information about our Services). We also use your Personal Data for our fraud detection and mitigation Business Services and may share certain Personal Data as part of those Business Services with Business Users that you may seek to do business with. The use of this Personal Data is subject to the Business Users’ privacy policies.
• Our Business Users. When you choose to connect your bank account with Mobile Credits, you may also choose to share account information with certain Business Users that you do business with. These Business Users will have their own privacy policies which describe how they use that information.
• Transactions. For payment transactions with Link, End User Personal Data is shared with others to enable the transaction. For example, when you choose to use a payment method for the transaction with Mobile Credits or with Link (e.g. credit card, debit card, buy now pay later, or direct debit), that payment method will receive transaction information that includes your Personal Data. Please review your payment method’s privacy policy to learn more. When you use Link, the merchant you choose to do business with will also receive Transaction Data that includes your Personal Data and with your permission, your bank account information. The merchant may share that Personal Data with others (see below regarding End Customers). Please review your merchant’s privacy policy for further information.
• Fraud Detection Services. We use your Personal Data collected across our Services (e.g. Mobile Credits Radar) to detect and prevent fraud against us, our Business Users and financial partners, including to detect unauthorized log-ins using your online activity. We may provide Business Users (including card issuers and others involved in payment processing activities) that have requested our fraud Business Services with Personal Data about you (including your attempted transactions) so that they can assess the associated fraud risk with a transaction.
• Advertising. We may use your Personal Data to assess your eligibility for and offer you other End User Services. With your permission or where allowed by law, we use and share End User Personal Data with others so that we may market our products and services to you, including through interest-based advertising where allowed by applicable law, including subject to any consent requirements. See our Cookie Policy. We do not share End User Personal Data with third parties for their marketing or advertising unless you give us or the third party permission to do so. We do not sell the data of End Users.
• More. Please see below for information about additional ways in which we may use and share your Personal Data.

1.2 End Customers

Mobile Credits offers Business Services to our Business Users (e.g. in-person checkout or online checkout). When we are acting as a Business User’s service provider (or data processor), we will process Personal Data in accordance with the terms of our agreement with the Business User and the Business User’s lawful instructions. For example, we process payment transactions for a Business User because you bought a product from them. Business Users are responsible for making sure that their End Customer’s privacy rights are respected, including ensuring appropriate disclosures about data collection and use that happens in connection with their services. If you are an End Customer (e.g., a purchaser of a product at an online Business User site), please refer to the privacy policy or notice of the Business User for information regarding the Business User’s privacy practices, choices and controls, or contact the Business User directly.

a. Personal data that we collect about End Customers

• Identity/Verification Information. Mobile Credits provides a verification and fraud Service that allows a Business User to verify Personal Data about you, such as your age (when purchasing age restricted goods) or your authorization to use a payment method. You will be asked to share Personal Data and we will collect the information that you share for this purpose, such as your government ID, your image, and Personal Data you input or that is apparent from the physical payment method (e.g. credit card image).

In addition to any Transaction Data we may produce or receive when these cards are used for purchases, we will also receive and use your Personal Data in order to provide and manage these products. Please also see the privacy policies of the Business User and our bank partner, if applicable, associated with the financial service (whose brands may be shown on the card).
• Identity/Verification Services. We use Personal Data about your identity, including information provided by you and our service providers, to perform verification Services for Mobile Credits or for the Business Users that you are doing business with and to reduce fraud and enhance security.

• Fraud Detection Services. We use your Personal Data collected across our Services to detect and prevent fraud against us, our Business Users and financial partners (e.g. Mobile Credits Radar), including to detect unauthorized log-ins using your online activity. We may provide Business Users (including card issuers and others involved in payment processing activities) that have requested our fraud Business Services with Personal Data about you (including your attempted transactions) so that they can assess the associated fraud risk with a transaction. You can learn more about how we may use technology to assess the fraud risk associated with an attempted transaction and what information we may share with Business Users about such risks.

We share Personal Data of End Customers with their respective Business Users and with parties directly authorized by those Business Users to receive Personal Data. This includes sharing Personal Data of End Customers with Business Users when a Business User authorizes a third party application provider to access its Mobile Credits account using Mobile Credits Connect. For example, when the Business User uses Identity Services to verify an End Customer’s identity, Mobile Credits shares with the Business User the information, documents or photos provided by the End Customer to verify their identity. The Business Users you choose to do business with may further share your Personal Data to third parties they authorize. Please review your merchant’s privacy policy to learn more.
• Advertising by Business Users.

We do not use or share End Customer Personal Data for our marketing or advertising, or for marketing and advertising by third parties who are not the Business User with which you have transacted or attempted to transact. We do not sell the data of End Customers.
