Use of our online Services

Collection of personal data

‍When you use our Services we will have access to your personal data that you submit to us and personal data held by Account Servicing Payment Service Providers (i.e. any payment service provider, such as a bank or a credit card issuer that maintains an online payment account on your behalf) (“ASPSPs”) (“Personal Data”) for the duration of the transmission. Such Personal Data may include your date of birth, gender, account information, account balance, transactions, information on loans, insurance data and investments data. The manner in which we access, use, process and store your personal data for the provision of the Services is set out below.

Contacts list

Emma transmits the contacts lists on your phone so you can easily make payments to your contacts using the Emma app. You can, of course, choose not to sync your contacts list with Emma. This means that you won't be able to identify which of your mobile phone contacts are Emma customers.

‍Images

Emma stores the image that you decide to upload when attaching a receipt to a transaction, verifying your identity with us or adding a profile picture to your profile. You can, of course, choose not to upload any of this data.
