7. How we share your data

7.1

Pointspay Management may co-ordinate with third parties in the provision of the Payment Method to you (e.g. payment service providers, financial institutions, and suppliers). These parties may process your personal data to supply services to you on our behalf as sub-processors to Pointspay Management, as well as for their own purposes. In that case, these parties act as separate controllers, and you are invited to review their privacy notices to learn more about their processing.

7.2

We may also share your data with other companies in our group for the provision of some of the Services, for example, payment processing as well as for their own purposes. This includes other companies in the SAS Group as well as Pointspay Managements holding company, Pointspay Holding AG, and its affiliates and subsidiaries when acting as sub-processors.

7.3

In some cases, the third parties may require access to some or all of your data. Where any of your data is shared for such a purpose, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data will be handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the obligations of the third party under the law.

In case that we share and transfer your personal data with third parties (incl. other group-companies) that are located outside of  the European Economic Area (“the EEA”) (e.g., United Arab Emirates or India but potentially world-wide ) we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated as safely and securely as it would be under the data protection law applicable to respective processing within the EEA. In such cases, we will ensure data protection with standard contractual clauses for data transfers to third countries issued and approved by the EU Commission and/or the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), as accordingly amended and adapted to local circumstances. If you wish to receive a copy of these clauses, please contact us (cf. section 1 above). We may transfer personal data to such countries without standard contractual clauses where we are expressly authorized by applicable law, for example with your separate consent, where disclosure is directly connected with the conclusion or performance of certain contracts, for important reasons of public interest or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. SAS EB and Pointspay Management have entered into the EU standard contractual clauses (SCCs) for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
