Data Privacy

Our GDPR Commitment

This document is designed to help Mesh Payments customers and users understand, and where applicable, comply, with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The GDPR is the most significant change to European data privacy legislation in the last 20 years and went into effect on May 15, 2018.

GDPR is designed to give European Union (“EU”) citizens more control over their data and seeks to unify a number of existing privacy and security laws under one comprehensive law.

Mesh Payments has made information security and data privacy foundational principles of everything we do, and we recognize the importance of adhering to regulations to advance information security and data privacy for citizens of the EU.

GDPR Compliance

We appreciate that our customers have requirements under the GDPR that are directly impacted by their use of our Services. Below are several GDPR initiatives that have been implemented across our Services:

Our Security

We appreciate that we are entrusted with valuable and sometimes sensitive user research data, which is why we have built security into every layer of our architecture, pursuing a ‘privacy by design’ approach to the design and development of our Services.

Our application is built on AWS world-class, modern cloud infrastructure designed to ensure the safety of your data. We have carefully chosen proven third party cloud providers that have a great security track record, and we employ best practices including regular backups, data encryption, sanitized logging, and common attack prevention.

International Data Transfers

We offer customers a robust international data transfer framework as a part of our Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”).

This addendum ensures that our customers can lawfully transfer personal data to our Services outside of the European Economic Area by relying on the Standard Contractual Clauses. Our DPA also contains specific provisions to assist customers in their compliance with the GDPR.

Data Portability and Right to be Forgotten

We help you honor your customers’ requests to export their data. Mesh Payments provides data portability and data management tools for exporting product and user data.

We also help customers meet obligations under the GDPR ‘right to be forgotten’ (or ‘right to erasure’) clause by making it easy to request the deletion of personal data from Mesh Payments. For more information on this procedure, see Data Subject Access Request.

Privacy and Consent

Your privacy is important to us, and so is being transparent about how we collect, use, and share your information. In our Privacy Policy, we share what information we collect, how we use and store that data, and how you can access and control your information.
