Protecting the privacy of your financial information is important to us. Facebook Payments International Limited (“Facebook Payments International”) wants to be open and transparent about how your personal information is collected and used.

Facebook Payments International is a separate company from Facebook, Inc., Facebook Payments, Inc. and Facebook Ireland Limited (“Facebook Ireland”). We work with our affiliates (and third parties) to provide you with payment and related services. This may entail some data sharing as explained later on in this Policy.

Facebook Payments International only receives limited personal information from you – specifically, your card numbers and other payment method information, and information which Facebook Payments International is required to obtain for anti-money laundering purposes ("Personal Information").

We may need to contact you to obtain additional identification information for anti-money laundering purposes, including where you use Facebook Payments International’s services to make and receive payments above certain thresholds in any one calendar year. This may include asking for a copy of your ID. We will only do this when we are obliged to by law or told to do so by a regulator.

In order to fulfill its regulatory requirements, Facebook Payments International is legally obliged to collect certain data about you when you use our services. In such cases, Facebook Payments International may obtain some of your Personal Information directly from Facebook Ireland. For example, Facebook Ireland may provide us with your name and date of birth for anti-money laundering purposes. This information may be updated when you change your Personal Information through your Facebook account.

We use your Personal Information to help you make payments on the Facebook website and platform, for anti-money laundering and other regulatory purposes, and for fraud prevention.

We may need to share your Personal Information under certain circumstances: so we can offer you the best service possible, to run our business, or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations (this includes statutory reporting obligations to the Central Bank of Ireland, the Irish Revenue Commissioners and other regulators and tax authorities) and legal requests.

We may share your Personal Information with our parent company Facebook, Inc, and with Facebook Ireland and Facebook Payments, Inc. We may also share your Personal Information with third party agents and service providers of Facebook Payments International or of the Facebook group. This sharing of data will happen for specific reasons:

Some of the companies we work with are located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). As a result, when you use our service, information collected within the EEA may be transferred to countries outside of the EEA for the purposes described in this policy.

You can view and update payment information, including deleting credit cards or other payment methods, by going to the Payments Settings page in your Facebook account settings. You can also access your Payment History page to see details of your payment history.

If you delete your Facebook account, you won’t be able to access your Payment Settings or Payment History page. You may contact the Facebook Payments International team, using the contact details below, if you later want to access this Personal Information.

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorised access and unauthorised changes, sharing, or destruction of your Personal Information. These security measures include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices, and security measures, as well as physical and technical security measures to guard against unauthorised access to systems where we store personal data. Facebook Payments International uses encryption to protect your Personal Information. For example, your credit card number will be stored in an encrypted form.

We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as we need it to provide our payment services to you or to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. Typically, this means we will keep your Personal Information for a period of six years but we may keep it for longer if we’re required to do so by law or told to do so by regulators.

Information we receive about you may be accessed, processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of litigation, a regulatory or legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm.

If you delete your Facebook account, we keep some of your Personal Information for regulatory and legal reporting and auditing obligations. We won’t keep it for any reason besides meeting these obligations. We may delete records associated with deleted accounts over time as permitted or required by law.

This privacy policy may change from time to time. We’ll post any policy changes on the Payments Privacy Policy Page, and if the changes are significant, we will notify you.

Facebook Payments International may email you a privacy notice from time to time that states:
