The protection of your Personal Information is very important to XFERS. We will share selected Personal Information with other XFERS Users in order to facilitate your transactions and to help resolve a dispute between you and another XFERS User.
- When you transact with other XFERS Users, we may provide those Users with your Personal Information necessary to complete the transaction. Such information includes your name, phone number, email address, contact details, shipping and billing address, or other information needed to promote the reliability and security of the transaction. If a transaction is held, fails, or is later invalidated, we may also provide details of the unsuccessful transaction.
- Larger merchant XFERS Users (including marketplace platforms or other merchant e-commerce sites) may integrate our Services into their sites or apps to enable them to accept or send payments from or to you using XFERS.
- If you choose to “link” your XFERS Account with these third party sites, we may provide them with your XFERS Account information, including your Personal Information and your XFERS Account balance. By “linking” your XFERS Account, you will also authorise them to deduct money from or send payments to your XFERS Account without any further action or confirmation on your part.To streamline your transactions and to save you time in avoiding having to re-enter all your Personal Information into these third party sites, we may also disclose your Personal Information (including your passport or national identity documents) directly to these merchant XFERS Users to the extent required by them to remain in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to them.
- If a XFERS User is sending you money and enters your email address or phone number, we may provide them with your registered name so they can verify that they are sending the money to the correct person and/or Account.
- In the case of a dispute between a buyer and seller, in order to facilitate dispute resolution, we may provide the buyer with the seller’s address so that goods may be returned to the seller.
- We will not disclose your credit card number or bank account number to anyone you have paid or who has paid you using XFERS, or with the third parties that offer or use our Services, unless we have your express permission, or where we are required to do so to comply with our obligations under credit card rules, a subpoena, or any other legal process or investigation.
Our policies and Terms of Service expressly prohibits a receiving party from using any Personal Information that we may share with them for unrelated purposes, such as to directly market to you, unless you have agreed to it. Contacting Users with unwanted or threatening messages is also against our policies and constitutes a violation of our Terms of Service.
Please note that merchants, sellers, and other XFERS Users you buy from or contract with have their own privacy policies, and although our Terms of Service does not allow the other transacting party to use this information for anything other than providing Services, we are not responsible for their actions, including their information protection practices.
