The data subject has a right to use all of the below mentioned rights.

The contacts concerning the rights shall be submitted to the person in charge of the data file stated in Section 2. The rights of the data subject can be put into action only when the data subject has been satisfactorily identified.

Right to inspect

Having presented the adequate and necessary information, the data subject has the right to know what, if any, data the controller has stored of her/him into this register.

Right to rectify and erasure

The data subject has a right to request the controller to rectify the inaccurate and incomplete personal data concerning the data subject.

  • the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning her/him for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

At times, the processing may be necessary so that we can take certain steps, at your request, prior to entering into that contract, such as verifying your details or eligibility for the payment services. If you fail to provide the personal data which we request, we cannot enter into a contract to provide payment services to you or will take steps to terminate any contract which we have entered into with you.

Legal/Regulatory

We may also process your personal data to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations.

When you use your card to make transactions, we store that transactional and financial information.

We also collect information relating to the payments which are made to/from your account.

How is your personal data used?

– improve our services, including creating anonymous data from your personal data for analytical use, including for the purposes of training, testing and system development.

Who do we share your information with?

We pass your information to the following categories of entity:

  • identity verification agencies to undertake required verification, regulatory and fraud prevention checks;
  • information security services organisations, web application hosting providers, mail support providers, network backup service providers and software/platform developers;
  • payment networks and payment service providers;

  • anyone to whom we lawfully transfer or may transfer our rights and duties under this agreement;
  • any third party as a result of any restructure, sale or acquisition of TPML or any associated entity, provided that any recipient uses your information for the same purposes as it was originally supplied to us and/or used by us.
  • regulatory and law enforcement authorities, whether they are outside or inside of the EEA, where the law requires us to do so.

Sending personal data overseas

To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), e.g.:

  • with service providers located outside the EEA;
  • if you are based outside the EEA;
  • where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you.

These transfers are subject to special rules under European and Malta data protection law.

These non-EEA countries do not have the same data protection laws as Malta and EEA. We will, however, ensure the transfer complies with data protection law and all personal information will be secure. We will send your data to countries where the European Commission has made an adequacy decision, meaning that it has ruled that the legislative framework in the country provides an adequate level of data protection for your personal information. You can find out more about this here.

Where we send your data to a country where the European Commission has not made an adequacy decision, our standard practice is to use standard data protection contract clauses that have been approved by the European Commission. To obtain a copy of those clauses, please go to the European Commission’s website.

If you would like further information, please contact our Data Protection Officer on the details below.

How long do we store your personal data?

We will store your information for a period of 5 years after our business relationship ends in order that we can comply with our obligations under applicable legislation such as anti-money laundering and anti-fraud regulations. If applicable legislation requires us to retain your data for a longer period of time, we shall retain it for that period. We will not retain your data for longer than is necessary.

How is your information protected?

We implement security policies and technical measures in order to secure your personal data and take steps to protect it from unauthorised access, use or disclosure.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Complaints

We hope that our Data Protection Officer can resolve any query or concern you may raise about our use of your personal information.

The General Data Protection Regulation also gives you right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the European Union (or European Economic Area) state where you work, normally live or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred.
