Additional Information for Merchants Located in Europe




Controller


Company is a data processor acting for and on behalf of the Merchant that has installed our application on their Clover POS. That Merchant is the controller of personal data that we process on its behalf. Clover is also a controller of personal data in some circumstances. Clover’s Privacy Notice is available at https://www.clover.com/privacy-policy.



Legal Basis for Processing


Company processes personal data as directed or permitted by the Merchant that uses our application. The Merchant is responsible for establishing a legal basis for our processing of personal data for or on behalf of the Merchant.



Cross Border Data Transfer


When we transfer personal data outside of Europe (or the UK) to countries not deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data, we make the transfer pursuant to one of the following transfer mechanisms:

  • A contract approved by the European Commission (sometimes called “Model Clauses” or “Standard Contractual Clauses”);
  • The recipient’s Binding Corporate Rules;
  • The consent of the individual to whom the personal data relates; or
  • Other mechanisms or legal grounds as may be permitted under applicable European law.

You may contact us with questions about our transfer mechanism.



Data Retention


Subject to our agreement with a Merchant, Company retains personal data for as long as necessary to (a) provide our products and services; (b) comply with legal obligations; (c) resolve disputes; and (d) enforce the terms of any agreement we may have with a Merchant. You may contact us for additional information about our data retention practices in connection with the application.



Data Subject Rights


Under certain circumstances, data subjects in Europe and the UK have certain rights relating to their personal data, which include the rights to request from the Controller (a) access to the data subject’s personal data; (b) correction of incomplete or inaccurate personal data; (c) erasure of personal data; (d) restriction of processing concerning the data subject; and (e) that the controller provide a copy of the data subject’s personal data that the data subject provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Data subjects may also object to a controller’s processing of personal data under certain circumstances. Where processing is based on a data subject’s consent, the data subject has the right to withdraw consent at any time; however, the withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Data subjects may also file a complaint with a supervisory authority. You may view contact information for supervisory authorities at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en. Data subjects in Europe or the UK should direct any rights request to the appropriate Controller.
