2. Swiipe services

We provide services both for private online shoppers (“customers”) and business users (“merchants”). When it is Swiipe who determines the purpose and means of processing your personal data, then Swiipe is a data controller.

Note that in some instances Swiipe also acts as a data processor. When we process personal data on behalf of other entities (data controllers) and under their instructions, then please contact the respective data controller to address your rights.

Regardless of whether Swiipe acts as a data controller or data processor, your data is always safeguarded and processed in accordance with applicable law.

3. The types of processing

Described below are the various purposes of processing your personal data.

a. One-click buy for private online shoppers

If you complete the check-out process on one of our merchant's online stores and you opt in for our services, then we process your personal data, such as identity, contact information, order information and payment card information. We do so to offer a more streamlined shopping experience across all our merchant’s online stores.

Our legal basis for processing such data is your consent, based on article 6(1)(a) in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and our legitimate interest based on article 6(1)(f). Our legitimate interest is to improve your shopping experience and to identify you, as well to prevent fraudulent use of our service.

To facilitate and enable our One-click buy service we process your personal data and order details. To also provide our payment solution we process your payment card information, which is encrypted and tokenized. Our legal basis in this context is performance of a contract in accordance with article 6(1)(b) in the GDPR. Tokenization is the process of turning a meaningful piece of data, such as an account number, into a random string of characters called a token that has no meaningful value, if the data should be breached.

Once you have given consent and confirmed your consent via email, you will be able to access, edit, or delete your data via the Swiipe portal.

b. One-click buy checkout, payments, and other solutions for merchants

If you choose to implement our free One-click buy checkout solution on your online store, then we process your personal data (eg. contact information) and business data (eg. business address, website domain, VAT-no.). We also process the data of your customers as described above in section 3.a.

We process your data to communicate with you, provide you with access to our full range of services, as well as support for the services that you choose to implement on your online store. Our legal basis for processing such data is the fulfilment of our contract, based on article 6(1)(b) in the GDPR.

Once you have given agreed to our terms and confirmed via email, you will be able to access, edit, or delete your data, as well as opt in and out of our various services via the Swiipe portal.

If you choose to opt in for our payments services you will need to have a merchant account with our acquiring partners Clearhaus A/S (CVR no.: 33 74 99 96, Danish FSA no.: 22006). If you don’t already have a merchant account with Clearhaus A/S, then we process the necessary data for the approval process.

The merchant account data is also stored by us after the approval process is concluded, which is secured with double layer encryption, in accordance with article 6(1)(b) in the GDPR. The reason for us to do so, is to ensure service continuity for our merchants in the event that we need to switch to a different acquiring partner, which would require all merchants to go through another approval process.

We may also process your personal data to improve and optimize our services, as well to prevent fraudulent use of our service. Our legal basis is legitimate interest, based on article 6 (1)(f) of the GDPR.

We store and process your data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill our services or as long as the contract is effective, and your consent is active. When required by law we may keep your data to comply with accounting or financial security requirements in accordance with article 6 (1)(c) of the GDPR.

c. Our website and Swiipe portal

When you use our website or Swiipe portal, we process your personal data (eg. IP address).
