- where we need to perform the contract we have entered into with you or the person who has ordered the card for you;
- where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation; or
- where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and only if your interests and rights do not override those interests.
Purposes and legal bases for which we use your personal data
We have set out below, in a table format, a description of the purposes of our processing of your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate. Note that we may process your personal data on more than one legal basis depending on the specific purpose for which we are processing your data.
Purpose/Activity |
Type of data |
Lawful basis for processing including basis of legitimate interest |
Register/set-up our customer record, including completing and processing card orders and delivering gift cards to card recipients. |
|
|
Confirm and verify your identity |
|
|
Provide you with the products and services that you request or receive from, or via us, so that we can:
|
||
To manage our relationship with you, including:
|
||
To administer and protect our business and this website (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research.) |
|
|
To deliver relevant website content in the most effective manner for devices (phone, computer, tablet) |
|
Where we need you to provide personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you or in order to enter into a contract we will inform you. If you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with gift cards). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us or third parties have requested to provide you, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time, to the extent we are able to.
Direct Marketing
GVS, from time to time, may wish to contact you about offers or products that are relevant to you. You may receive marketing communications from us if you have given us permission. Where you give permission we may contact you by e-mail, mail, telephone, SMS or other means (as permitted by your consent).
Third Party Marketing
We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside the GVS group of companies for marketing purposes.
Withdrawal of consent (Opting Out)
You can at any time withdraw your consent to direct marketing by:
- Clicking on the unsubscribe option on any emails you receive
- Contacting us via phone, post or email using the email address chealy@one4all.ie with ‘Unsubscribe’ in the subject line
Whilst this will stop GVS from mailing you, if you’ve shared your personal data with a third party (such as our retailer of month promotion) unsubscribing from GVS mailings will not stop the third party from mailing you. You will still need to unsubscribe from the third party(ies) (if you so wish) in accordance with their unsubscribe procedures.
How long will we keep personal data?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. We will hold your data for no more than 6 years following the termination of our relationship with you. The period will be determined by the types of products and services you have purchased from us.
By law we have to keep basic information about you (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for 5 years after our business relationship with you ends for anti-money laundering purposes.
We will retain information about you after you have terminated your use of our services, or if your account becomes dormant, for as long as permitted or required for legal, regulatory, fraud and other financial crime prevention purposes and for lawful permitted business purposes.
Receipients to whom we may disclosure your Personal Data
In order to fulfil the purposes for processing your personal data, as set out above, we may need to share your personal data for the purposes set out above (see Purposes and legal bases for which we use your personal data).
We will share your personal data with other companies in the GVS group of companies (which includes our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries) who provide (or procure the provision of) the card delivery and customer contact centre services, IT, system administration. All GVS group companies are obliged to respect the confidentiality of this personal information.
We may also share your personal data with selected third parties, including:
- your employer or other entity that has enrolled you into their rewards programme for the performance of any contract we have entered into with them and/or the performance of our contract with you (for example, to deliver cards to you);
- with technical payments processor to enable payments authorisation;
- card production and delivery vendors to enable delivery of cards to you/intended recipient;
- Customer contact centre, for when you call into us to discuss your card
- electronic identity verification, credit referencing agencies and sanctions screening service providers.
Where we disclosure personal data to such third parties we do so under a contract which includes requirements for the third party to have adequate security measures in place, only use the personal data for the purposes it was provided for and to delete or return it once no longer needed.
We may also disclose personal information to third parties under the following circumstances:
- If GVS (or its group company) sells, buys, transfers or merges in whole or in part business or assets, in which case personal data held by us about customers may be one of the transferred assets;
If we are under a legal duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions of our products and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of GVS, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations, such as law enforcement departments, regulators, government departments (e.g. Revenue, HMRC), for the purposes of fraud protection, anti-money laundering and credit risk reduction.
International Transfers
The majority of our third-party processors are based in the European Economic Area (EEA) however, when your personal data is transferred outside the EEA for further processing by the recipients described above, we ensure at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- we will only transfer the personal data to a country which is deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data;
- where we transfer the data to third parties, we will use specific contracts between us and the recipient in a form approved by the European Commission to protect it;
- where the transfer is to the USA, the recipient is within the EU-US Privacy Shield.
Data Security
We take all steps reasonably necessary to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.
Our site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
All parties with access to your personal data are all subject to a strict duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) (where GVS Prepaid is the data controller) or The Irish Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) (where GVS Gift Voucher Shop DAC is the data controller) of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Your rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you, as a data subject have a number of rights which are detailed below:
- Request access to your personal data (commonly known as "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you or are otherwise processing.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected. We will need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third-party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third-party. We will provide to you, or a third-party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please write to Compliance Manager, One4all, PO Box 8942, Malahide, Co Dublin.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Your right to complain
Where GVS Prepaid Ltd is the controller, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).
Where GVS Gift Voucher Shop DAC is the controller, you have a right to complain to the Ireland’s Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) (https://www.dataprotection.ie/docs/Home/4.htm)
