Privacy Policy

**************
|
||
|
||
Last Updated: 11.12.2019
|
||
|
||
This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures of Taler
|
||
Systems SA (“we,” “our,” or “us”) pertaining to the collection, use,
|
||
and disclosure of your information on our sites and related mobile
|
||
applications and products we offer (the “Services” or “Taler Wallet”).
|
||
This Privacy Statement applies to your personal data when you use our
|
||
Services, and does not apply to online websites or services that we do
|
||
not own or control.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Overview
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
Your privacy is important to us. We follow a few fundamental
|
||
principles: We don’t ask you for personally identifiable information
|
||
(defined below). That being said, your contact information, such as
|
||
your phone number, social media handle, or email address (depending on
|
||
how you contact us), may be collected when you communicate with us,
|
||
for example to report a bug or other error related to the Taler
|
||
Wallet. We don’t share your information with third parties except when
|
||
strictly required to deliver you our Services and products, or to
|
||
comply with the law. If you have any questions or concerns about this
|
||
policy, please reach out to us at privacy@taler-systems.net.
|
||
|
||
|
||
How you accept this policy
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
By using our Services or visiting our sites, you agree to the use,
|
||
disclosure, and procedures outlined in this Privacy Policy.
|
||
|
||
|
||
What personal information do we collect from our users?
|
||
=======================================================
|
||
|
||
The information we collect from you falls into two categories: (i)
|
||
personally identifiable information (i.e., data that could potentially
|
||
identify you as an individual) (“Personal Information”), and (ii) non-
|
||
personally identifiable information (i.e., information that cannot be
|
||
used to identify who you are) (“Non-Personal Information”). This
|
||
Privacy Policy covers both categories and will tell you how we might
|
||
collect and use each type.
|
||
|
||
We do our best to not collect any Personal Information from Taler
|
||
Wallet users. We believe that the Taler Wallet never transmits
|
||
personal information to our services without at least clear implied
|
||
consent, and we only process and retain information with a strict
|
||
business need. That being said, when using our Services, we inherently
|
||
have to collect the following information:
|
||
|
||
* Bank account details necessary when receiving funds from you to
|
||
top-up your wallet or to transfer funds to you when you are being
|
||
paid via Taler. At the current experimental stage, only the
|
||
pseudonym and password you entered in the bank demonstrator is
|
||
stored.
|
||
|
||
* The amounts being withdrawn or deposited, with associated unique
|
||
transaction identifiers and cryptographic signatures authorizing
|
||
the transaction. Note that for purchases, we cannot identify the
|
||
buyer from the collected data, so when you spend money, we only
|
||
receive non-personal information.
|
||
|
||
* When you contact us. We may collect certain information if you
|
||
choose to contact us, for example to report a bug or other error
|
||
with the Taler Wallet. This may include contact information such
|
||
as your name, email address or phone number depending on the
|
||
method you choose to contact us.
|
||
|
||
|
||
How we collect and process information
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
We may process your information for the following reasons:
|
||
|
||
* to transfer money as specified by our users (Taler transactions);
|
||
|
||
* to assist government entities in linking income to the underlying
|
||
contract as required by law and local regulations
|
||
|
||
* to support you using the Taler Wallet or to improve our Services
|
||
|
||
|
||
How we share and use the information we gather
|
||
==============================================
|
||
|
||
We may share your Personal Data or other information about you only if
|
||
you are a merchant receiving income, with your bank, to the degree
|
||
necessary to execute the payment.
|
||
|
||
We retain Personal Data to transfer funds to the accounts designated
|
||
by our users. We may retain Personal Data only for as long as mandated
|
||
by law and required for the wire transfers.
|
||
|
||
We primarily use the limited information we receive directly from you
|
||
to enhance the Taler Wallet. Some ways we may use your Personal
|
||
Information are to: Contact you when necessary to respond to your
|
||
comments, answer your questions, or obtain additional information on
|
||
issues related to bugs or errors with the Taler Wallet that you
|
||
reported.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Agents or third party partners

||
enable them to perform certain services for us exclusively, including:
|
||

||
|
||
|
||
Protection of us and others
|
||

||

||

Data retention
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
If you uninstall the Taler Wallet mobile applications from your
|
||
device, or request that your information be deleted, we still may
|
||
retain some information that you have provided to us to maintain the
|
||
Taler Wallet or to comply with relevant laws.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Data security
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
We are committed to making sure your information is protected. We
|
||
employ several physical and electronic safeguards to keep your
|
||
information safe, including encrypted user passwords, two factor
|
||
verification and authentication on passwords where possible, and
|
||
securing connections with industry standard transport layer security.
|
||

|
||
with all these precautions, we cannot fully guarantee against the
|
||
access, disclosure, alteration, or deletion of data through events,
|
||

|
||
unauthorized use. Any information that you provide to us is done so
|
||
entirely at your own risk.

||
do so at any time. If we do revise this Privacy Policy, we will update
|
||
the “Effective Date” at the bottom of this page so that you can tell

||
inform you about a change in the privacy policy once it detects that
|
||
the policy has changed. Please review this Privacy Policy regularly to
