Security precautions:

Organizations must implement technological and operational measures in order to meet the GDPR's requirements for a level of protection sufficient to prevent an immediate danger. In the face of the rising cyber security threat to organizations, this has become more urgent. In order to comply with GDPR, we support tokenization, data protection, continuous confidentiality security, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services.

Our Privacy policy is entrenched in the company's design throughout its lifecycle.

Swift Notification in Case of Coincidence or Breach

In addition to administrative and technical safeguards to reduce specific risks to personal data and prevent data breaches, the GDPR enforces the need that security breaches be reported. If the violation presents a high risk to its rights and freedoms, the data subject is expected to be informed without unreasonable delay. Notification may be skipped if there is little chance that the data topic will suffer any consequences from the data breach. The company has trained its employees how to respond and has an impact response plan.

Cross-border Data Transfer

The "flow of personal data from countries outside the EU and International organizations are necessary for the expansion of international trade and cooperation."

As a money transfer company, we move personal data of clients and workers across legal countries to facilitate our operations and manage our worldwide workforce. Our processing is also outsourced, but we have internal standards of behavior that serve as binding corporate rules. We transfer personal information outside of the EU to other businesses in our group that are based in various countries.

We also follow the steps bellow to process
EU Personal data in order to comply with the GDPR:

We'll carry out an audit of data security and privacy. Examine data subjects' current processing activities and data with great care to identify any inconsistency with GDPR. We will ensure consent is freely given and data subjects must "opt-in" rather than "opt out" of data collection schemes. We only collect personal data and retain it for as long as necessary. We'll use h2 encryption to guarantee the protection of personal data both in transit and at rest. Tokenization can be adopted to ensure safeguard.

We've created a data security breach response method and a detailed incident response plan. We educated our personnel how to detect a breach in real time and pinpoint potential threats. The notification and report should be delivered promptly.

We will frequently evaluate and update our privacy policy, as well as other materials and communications. Information in our privacy policy will always be easy to understand. We will regularly run compliance test before implementing a new technology.

We will guarantee that our cross-border data transfer policy complies with GDPR by our binding company policies.
