This Policy describes:

- Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, then please do not use our Services. By using our Services, you agree to the terms of this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time (see below, “Changes to this Policy”). Your continued use of our Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates. This privacy policy supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them.
This privacy policy is issued on behalf of the Bankable Group so when we mention “company”, “bankable”, “bnkbl”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this privacy policy, we are referring to the relevant company in the Group responsible for processing your data. We will let you know which entity will be the controller for your data when you purchase a product or service with us. Bankable Ltd is the controller and responsible for this website.
What We Collect and How We Collect It
To ensure that we provide you with the best possible experience, we will store, use, and share information about you in accordance with this Policy.
Information You Provide to Us
Personal Information is any information that can be used to individually identify you from a larger group, such data includes, but is not limited to, your:
- first and last name;
- email address;
- telephone number;
- age;
- mailing address;
- credit card information;
- comments or messages provided in free text boxes.
You may provide us Personal Information when:
- requesting information;
- conducting digital banking;
- applying for a position with Bankable;
- developing corporate or consumer card programs;
- processing standardized and proprietary data formats;
- managing payment flows for marketplaces;
- subscribing to our emails;
- registering with the Services.
The information that you provide in each case will vary. In some cases, we may ask you to create a username and password that should only be known to you. When you provide credit card information, that information will be stored and processed in accordance with PCI-DSS requirements. By providing us with Personal Information, you warrant and represent that you have the appropriate authority and consent to disclose such Personal Information.
Automated Information Collection
In addition to the information that you provide to us, we may also collect information about you during your visit to our Services. We collect this information using automated tools that are detailed below. These tools may collect information about your behavior and your computer system, such as your internet address (IP Address), the pages you have viewed, and the actions you have taken while using the Services. Some of the tools we use to automatically collect information about you may include:
- Cookies. A “cookie” is a small data file transmitted from a website to your device’s hard drive. Cookies are usually defined in one of two ways, and we may use both of them: (1) session cookies, which do not stay on your device after you close your browser, and (2) persistent cookies, which remain on your device until you delete them or they expire.
Of course, if you do not wish to have cookies on your devices, you may turn them off at any time by modifying your internet browser’s settings. However, by disabling cookies on your device, you may be prohibited from full use of the Services’ features or lose access to some functionality.
- Google Analytics. One of our
trusted third-party partners is Google Analytics. The Services send aggregated, non-Personal
Information to Google Analytics for the purpose of providing us with the
ability to conduct technical and statistical analysis on the Services’
performance. For more information on how
Google Analytics supports the Services and uses information sent from the
Services, please review Google’s privacy policy available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- Web Beacons. A Web Beacon is an electronic image. Web Beacons can track certain things from your computer and can report activity back to a web server allowing us to understand some of your behavior. If you choose to receive emails from us, we may use Web Beacons to track your reaction to our emails. We may also use them to track if you click on the links and at what time and date you do so. Some of our third-party marketing partners may use Web Beacons to track your interaction with online advertising banners on our Services. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your Personal Information. Please note that any image file on a webpage can act as a Web Beacon.
- Embedded Web Links. Links provided in our emails and, in some
cases, on third-party websites may include tracking technology embedded in the
link. The tracking is accomplished through a redirection system. The
redirection system allows us to understand how the link is being used by email
recipients. Some of these links will
enable us to identify that you have personally clicked on the link and this may
be attached to the Personal Information that we hold about you. This data is
used to improve our service to you and to help us understand the performance of
our marketing campaigns.
- Third-party Websites and Services. We work with a number of service providers of marketing communications technology. These service providers may use various data collection methods to improve the performance of the marketing campaigns we are contracting them to provide. The information collected can be gathered on our Services and also on the websites where our marketing communications are appearing. For example, we may collect data where our banner advertisements are displayed on third-party websites.
Your Choices and Selecting Your Privacy Preferences
We want to provide you with relevant information that you have requested.
If we provide subscription-based services, such as email newsletters, we will allow you to make choices about what information you provide at the point of information collection or at any time after you have received a communication from us while you are subscribed. Transactional or service-oriented messages are usually excluded from such preferences, as such messages are required to respond to your requests or to provide goods and services, and are not intended for the purposes of marketing.
We will not intentionally send you email newsletters and marketing emails unless you consent to receive such marketing information. After you request to receive these emails, you may opt out of them at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email. Please note that by opting out or unsubscribing you may affect other services you have requested we provide to you, in which email communication is a requirement of the service provided.
Any such communications you receive from us will be administered in accordance with your preferences and this Policy.
Accuracy and Access to Your Personal Information
We strive to maintain and process your information accurately. We have processes in place to maintain all of our information in accordance with relevant data governance frameworks and legal requirements. We employ technologies designed to help us maintain information accuracy on input and processing.
Where we can provide you access to your Personal Information in our possession, we will always ask you for a username and password to help protect your privacy and security. We recommend that you keep your password safe, that you change it periodically, and that you do not disclose it to any other person or allow any other person to use it.
To view and change the Personal Information that you have provided to us, you can log in to your account and follow the instructions on that webpage, or contact us directly for assistance.
Information of Minors
We do not intentionally seek to gather information from individuals under the age of eighteen(18). We do not target the Services to minors, and would not expect them to be engaging with our Services. We encourage parents and guardians to provide adequate protection measures to prevent minors from providing information unwillingly on the internet. If we are aware of any Personal Information that we have collected about minors, we will take steps to securely remove it from our systems.
How We Use Your Information

- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

Change of purpose

If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.
If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

These third-party partners are under contract to keep your Personal Information secure and not to use it for any reason other than to fulfill the service we have requested from them.

Third-party Websites This Policy does not apply to websites or other domains that are maintained or operated by third parties or our affiliates. Our Services may link to third-party websites and services, but these links are not endorsements of these sites, and this Policy does not extend to them.
