Essentials

Rastpay knows that privacy is crucial. We respect its value and pledge only to collect and use personal data following current legislation.

The purpose of this document is to inform you about our role and responsibilities in collecting, processing, and storing your data.

According to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the European Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons concerning the personal data processing and its free movement, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (the "GDPR"), personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person can be identified by referencing a name, an identification number, location data, etc.

This Privacy Policy applies to services provided directly and exclusively by Rastpay.

Therefore, third parties websites, products, and services (such as merchants selling their products and services) are subject to their privacy policies. If you are the cardholder and Rastpay has processed your transaction, the relevant merchant should explain how your personal data will be processed and stored.

Rastpay acts both as a data controller and a data processor. The GDPR defines the data controller as an entity that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of collecting, processing, and storing personal data. The data processor is an entity that processes personal data on behalf of or under the controller's instructions.

TRastpay is a data controller when it determines the purposes and means of the processing and a data processor when it is directed by the merchant to process payments.

Please thoroughly get acquainted with the Privacy Policy to know your data protection rights, its execution, and ways of its protection.
