All such sensitive Personal Data shall be appropriately protected under applicable data protection laws.

6.3. We may use your user information, government-issued identification and communication history to protect you and others against fraud and other illegal activity or to cooperate with law enforcement investigations. Your information helps us increase the safety of online payments, while reducing the risk of fraud, money laundering and other harmful activity. We will process this Personal Data in order to comply with our legal obligations, but also where we have a legitimate interest (e.g. to prevent fraud or to protect our business, where this is not a legal requirement).

Our Group. We share Personal Data with members of the Capi Money Group to provide Capi Services, maintain account and service integrity, and support our business operations.
Service Providers. We will share your Personal Data with service providers we rely upon to provide Capi Services. This includes agents, contractors, and third-party service providers, who provide administrative, IT and system administration, technical, payment, identity verification, analytics or other services in connection with our business.
Payment institutions and beneficiaries. We also share Personal Data with the payment institution you use to make any foreign exchange or payment transactions and the beneficiaries of any payments you make through our payment service providers. When making a payment, the beneficiary may receive information about you along with your payment, such as your name and bank account number.

7.3. In all cases, we will ensure our agreements with third parties include requirements that they act in accordance with data protection legislation concerning your Personal Data.
8. International data transfers
8.1. As Capi Services are international in nature, we may have to transfer your Personal Data outside the country in which we collected your Personal Data to perform services, like processing payments and providing customer support.
8.2. Personal Data collected by us may be transferred, stored, and processed in other countries, including the United States. These countries’ data protection laws may differ from those in your location. For example, if you are based in the United Kingdom, other countries may not have as comprehensive data protection laws in place.
8.3. We will implement appropriate safeguards for these transfers and ensure adequate data protection measures are in place. For example:
If another country does not have equivalent data protection standards as your location, we will ensure agreements are in place with strict data protection safeguards before Personal Data is transferred (i.e., relying on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum to the European Commission standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”), approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office). You can find the UK International Data Transfer Agreement here and the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs here.
Where data protection law otherwise permits us to transfer your Personal Data outside the country in which it was collected (e.g., where we can rely on transfer derogations under UK GDPR, such as where we have obtained your explicit consent, or where the transfer is necessary for us to perform a contract with you).
You can also contact us (using the details provided at Clause 20 below) if you would like to know more about how we transfer your personal data overseas.

13.1. We may use automated decision-making (i.e. automated processes in which there is no human involvement) when you apply on behalf of a potential customer to open a Capi Account and when providing you with Capi Services, including for identity verification and fraud prevention. This processing may potentially lead to decisions being made in relation to you or the organization that you represent, including application rejection, transaction blocking, or account closure.
13.2. Automated decision-making in this context may include Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, including for example whether an individual is a match for applicable government sanctions lists.
13.3. If you are affected by such decision-making, you will be notified. You may also choose to appeal, which ensures manual review of any decision made using automated decision-making processes. If you believe you have been impacted by an automated process or wish to know more, please contact Capi Customer Service at support@capimoney.com.
14. Security of Personal Data
14.1. We implement appropriate and reasonable security measures, including physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards, to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access.
