If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or United Kingdom (“UK”), when we transfer data outside the EEA/UK (as applicable) we will, as required by applicable law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected by: (i)  only transferring your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level or protection for personal data, or (ii) appropriate safeguards, such as the EU’s standard contractual clauses (or such other data transferring clauses or safeguards that may be approved by the relevant data protection supervisory authority from time to time). Please contact us at legal@littlepay.com if you would like more information about these safeguards.

We will keep your data for as long as we need it for the purposes set out above, and so this period will vary depending on your interactions with us.
