• access your bank account and retrieve information associated with your bank account (including personal information), via an interactive session based on a user interface, or one or more server-to-server sessions without a user interface;
• verify that you are the holder of such bank account and that you have all necessary rights and authority to use such bank account;
• verify your identity and other information (including personal and financial information);
• verify that your bank account is in good standing and verify activity with respect to your Bank account;
• collect and verify the bank account information (including bank account number, financial institution number, and branch transit number, name on account, and account type) required for Merchants to obtain payments from you or make payments to you and for such Merchants to verify your identity, your bank account, or other information required by a Merchant with respect to any transaction between you and a Merchant;
• provide relevant information per the above (but not your online banking access credentials) to Merchants, service providers and other third parties to facilitate payments and other transactions between you and our Merchants; and
• configure the Trustly Services so that the Trustly Services are compatible with Merchant sites.

If you choose to provide us with biometric information (such as a faceprint or fingerprint), we use that information solely to process your transaction by matching up this information with the same types of information collected by your bank in order to authenticate your account.  We delete your biometric information once your transaction has been processed.

‍

(b)       To Enhance Your Experience.  We may use your information to provide a more tailored or seamless experience while using the Trustly Services.  For example, if you use the Trustly Services for ongoing and repeated transactions, we may use your information to make such transactions more seamless by automating such transactions or completing some of the required information for you.  We may also use the information we collect to verify accounts and activity, combat harmful conduct and fraud, maintain the integrity of the Trustly Services, and promote safety and security.  We may use your information to communicate with you regarding your use of the Trustly Services, to answer your questions, obtain your feedback, and to provide disclosures and other information which we deem advisable or which we, or our service providers, are required to provide to you pursuant to applicable law.

(c)      To Manage the Trustly Services and Business.  Trustly will not store or share with any third party (other than the bank to which such credentials relate) your online banking access passwords, including alphanumeric passwords, PIN numbers, security questions and answers, or any other confidential information that you must provide to be granted access to your online banking account (“Online Banking Access Credentials”).  Trustly may however store and use other personal information we consider necessary to provide the Trustly Services (including, but not limited to, information verification, information transmission and payment services), to comply with applicable laws or regulations, and to meet our obligations to you, our Merchants, business partners, and others.  We may also store and use such information to conduct, manage, and administer our business and operations and our ongoing relationship with you.  As permitted by applicable law, Trustly may merge your personal information with information from others who use the Trustly Services and/or with information received from reputable vendors in order to enhance the Trustly Services and our Merchants’ services (including, but not limited to, information verification, information transmission and payment services).  We may use your information, such as location-related data, to ensure the availability of the Trustly Services to you in compliance with applicable law.  Trustly may use the information we collect about you to develop, test, and improve the Trustly Services or to provide additional features and services to a Merchant or to you.  Trustly will retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes contemplated in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law.

‍

(d)      Non-Personal or De-Identified Information.  We may create non-personal, de-identified records or data from the information we collect by excluding the information that makes the data identifiable to you, such as your name or address (“Anonymized Data”).  Any Anonymized Data we create is our property.  This Anonymized Data may be used for any purpose.  For example, we may build non-personally-identifiable statistical profiles, databases, and analyses  regarding the Trustly Services as well as transaction trends, habits, and usage patterns.  We may create reports and analytics to assist our, and our Merchants’, understanding of the Trustly Services, enhance the Trustly Services and our Merchants’ services, or improve our security.  We may use the Anonymized Data for business purposes and for various reporting obligations.  Trustly reserves the right to use the Anonymized Data, and to disclose the Anonymized Data to Merchants and other third parties, in Trustly’s sole and absolute discretion, as permitted by applicable law.  We will not “re-identify” any Anonymized Data.
