The aforementioned data is provided by the Data Subject by filling out specific forms for entering payment transaction details, either on the Data Controller’s or the Merchant’s system, and is subsequently communicated by the latter to the Data Controller.

4) On what legal bases and for what purposes is the data processed?

The processing of personal data is carried out by the Data Controller and/or third parties on its behalf only in the presence of one of the following legal bases and is limited to the pursuit of the related purposes:

  • Compliance with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter c) of the Regulation, in particular to fulfill obligations related to the Service (e.g., where applicable: complaint management, anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorism measures, etc.);
  • If the Merchant has subscribed to the fraud prevention service, the legitimate interest of the Data Controller or third parties in preventing fraud in payments, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f) of the Regulation, to analyze the fraud risk level of transactions.

Regarding the above purposes, providing data is mandatory, and the Data Subject's consent is not required for processing. Failure to provide one or more data items will make it impossible to perform the Service.

5) To whom may personal data be disclosed?

Personal data may be accessed by personnel authorized by the Data Controller to process the data as part of their job duties, or by entities acting as processors – specifically appointed under Article 28 of the Regulation – or independent data controllers. Below are the various categories of recipients involved:

  • Public authorities within the scope of legally mandated communications (e.g., supervisory authorities);
  • Independent entities (so-called acquirers) managing payments with credit or debit cards belonging to national and international circuits;
  • Companies within the Sella Group, controlled or affiliated under Article 2359 of the Civil Code, in the case of detecting suspicious transactions, as well as Sella Group companies providing the technological infrastructure for the Service and technical support activities;

For technical support activities aimed at investigating and resolving anomalies and testing applications, the Data Controller may allow access to data, in a tracked manner, to Sella Group companies based in India. Personal data is not stored at the foreign company but is accessed remotely while remaining within the Company's information system. The transfer occurs based on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

Additionally, if the Merchant has subscribed to the fraud prevention service, certain data will be transferred outside the European Economic Area, specifically to Israel, to Riskified Ltd. for fraud risk analysis purposes. The transfer is permitted since the European Commission has recognized Israel as a third country that provides an adequate level of personal data protection.

At the end of the retention period, personal data will be stored in a manner that does not allow identification (e.g., irreversible anonymization), unless processing is necessary for one or more of the following purposes:

  • Resolution of pre-litigation and/or litigation initiated before the retention period expires;
  • Compliance with internal control function investigations/audits and/or external authority inspections initiated before the retention period expires;
