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 grounds and for what purposes are the data processed?

  • Compliance with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter c) of the Regulation and of the UK Regulation, in particular to fulfill obligations related to the Service (e.g., where applicable: complaint management, anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing 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 and of the UK 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 and of the UK 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, in the case of detecting suspicious transactions;

Companies providing the technological infrastructure for the Service and technical support activities; if the Merchant has subscribed to the fraud prevention service offered by Riskified Ltd., whose privacy policy can be found at the following link https://www.riskified.com/privacy/.

6) Can data be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area?

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 Data Controller'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 storage period, personal data relating to Data Subjects will be stored in a form that does not allow them to be identified (e.g. irreversible anonymisation), unless their 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;
