Privacy policy and personal data processing

I. PRIVACY POLICY

Introduction

The protection of personal data is treated as an important aspect in the operation of Transcash.eu S.A. (hereinafter: “TC”). TC provides debt recovery and factoring services, which involve the processing of personal data of both TC clients as well as their debtors and contractors. Therefore, TC has created this Privacy Policy to implement its obligations under the law, including arising from the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (hereinafter referred to as the GDPR). The policy primarily contains information that, according to the regulations, needs to be provided by the personal data controller to the person whose data he processes. For this reason, in the Policy you will find information about the legal basis for the processing of personal data, how it is collected and used, as well as about the related rights of data subjects. TC uses the provided personal data for the purposes set out in this document or for other purposes that are indicated each time at the time of their transfer to TC. When collecting and using your personal data, TC is diligent to maintain transparency regarding the basis and manner of processing personal data.

Explanation of terms

Whenever this Privacy Policy refers to:

  • personal data – it means any information about an identifiable natural person, including a natural person conducting business activity,
  • controller – it means an entity that sets the purposes and methods of processing personal data,
  • processing entity (processor) – it means an entity that processes personal data on behalf of the controller,
  • data subject – it means a natural person identifiable on the basis of personal data made available to the controller,
  • data processing – it means any activity on personal data, regardless of whether it is performed in an automated manner or not, e.g. collecting, storing, recording, organizing, modifying, viewing, using, sharing, limiting, deleting or destroying,
  • recipient – it means a natural or legal person, public authorities, entities or other entities to which personal data is disclosed.

When does this Privacy Policy apply?

This Privacy Policy applies only in cases where TC is the controller of your personal data and processes it. This applies both to the case in which TC processes personal data that TC has obtained directly from the data subject, as well as the case in which TC has obtained personal data from other sources. In both cases, TC fulfills its reporting obligations set out in art. 13 and art. 14 GDPR in accordance with these provisions.

This policy does not apply to the situation when TC processes your data only as a processing entity (processor) – i.e., for example, in the scope of data of debtors entrusted to TC for processing by their creditors, who are TC customers, for the purpose of providing debt recovery services by TC to creditors (in these situations creditors are personal data controllers).

As a personal data processor, TC informs that it acts as a personal data controller, i.e. as an entity deciding on the purpose and method of data processing, in relation to:
1) personal data of natural persons in the scope of performance of the agreement concluded with them (Agreement for the provision of debt recovery services, Agreement for the provision of invoice financing services, Agreement for the provision of factoring services or another agreement which subject is the provision of services by TC to those persons),
2) personal data of natural persons from whom TC purchased the debt as a result of the assignment of the debt,
3) data of natural persons who have consented to the processing of their data.

On the other hand, in the scope of personal data of debtors (as part of the debt collection service) and contractors (as part of the factoring service up to the assignment of receivables), TC acts as a processing entity (processor). You remain the controller of this personal data. The rules for entrusting data processing are set out in the General Terms and Conditions for Providing Debt Recovery Services available on our website (regarding data entrusted by you to TC in connection with the ordering of debt recovery services) and the document Entrustment for the processing of personal data (regarding data entrusted at the stage preceding conclusion of the assignment agreement under factoring).

Below we indicate TC data as the controller of personal data:

Transcash.eu Spółka Akcyjna, with its registered office in Wroclaw, address: ul.
