We may collect information such as language, location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and the time zone where CelerisPay services are used or accessed.

We also may collect information regarding customer activities on our website, through our payment gateway and from our other products and services.

This information is aggregated and used to provide more useful products to our customers by helping us understand which parts of our website, devices, and services are of most interest. CelerisPay may also display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, CelerisPay does not disclose personally-identifying information.

If you send us a support request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish the non- personally identifiable parts of it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.

If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

What are ‘cookies’?

Cookies are text files that are stored by the web browser on your computer or mobile device. They allow websites to store things like user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a ‘memory’ for the website so that it can recognize you when you come back and respond appropriately.

What type of cookies do we use?

The cookies we use fall into 2 main categories. These categories are described below:

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary to help you access and move around our site and use all its features. Without these cookies, our website would not work properly and you would not be able to use certain features.

Analytics cookies

We use cookies to help us understand how our website is being used and how we can improve your experience on it. “Analytics” cookies can provide us with anonymous information to help us understand which parts of our website interest our visitors and if they experience any errors. We use these cookies to test different designs and features for our sites and we also use them to help us monitor how our visitors reach our sites.

Protecting Personally Identifying Information

CelerisPay discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally- identifying information to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on CelerisPay’s behalf, for example a bank requires your details, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

CelerisPay will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.

CelerisPay takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

All CelerisPay employees engaged in the processing of Personal Data are informed of the confidential nature of the data, have received appropriate training on their responsibilities and have executed written confidentiality agreements.

Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties

If CelerisPay, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the event that CelerisPay goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of CelerisPay may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Other than to its alliances (payment method issuers, acquirers, banks etc), employees, contractors and affiliated organizations (which includes Newgen Payment Gateway Private Limited and Connfido B.V as affiliated operators of the platforms), as described above, CelerisPay discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when CelerisPay believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of CelerisPay, third parties or the public at large.

Third-Party Privacy Policies

The data shared by CelerisPay with third parties is strictly limited to the particular task we need the third party to perform. CelerisPay services may contain links to third-party websites, products, and services. Our services may also use or offer products or services from third parties − for example, a third-party CelerisPay app. Information collected by third parties, which may include such things as location data or contact details, is governed by their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.

Updating Your Personal Information

You can help ensure that your contact information and preferences are accurate, complete, and up to date by logging in to your account. For other personal information, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access so you can request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if CelerisPay is not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law. Access, correction, or deletion requests can be made through support@celerispay.com.

Your Rights

We respect your rights as a customer and ensure we uphold all of these while processing of your personal data.

You have the right to object to such automated decisions and ask for an actual person to make the decision.

Right to Complain: You have the right to complain to CelerisPay if you feel your personal data is not being treated in the correct manner. You may also contact the data protection authority in your country.
