4. The Lawful Bases on Which We Process Personal Data
Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for each use we make of personal data. We rely on the following lawful bases:
4.1 Contract Performance
We process personal data where it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you or the organisation you represent. This covers processing carried out to negotiate, execute, and administer our agreements with Business Contacts and their organisations, and to provide access to Ubyx services. Where we take steps at your or your organisation’s request before entering into a contract (for example, responding to an enquiry or preparing an agreement), that processing is also covered by this basis.
4.2 Legal Obligation
We process personal data where we are required to do so by applicable law. This primarily covers our obligations under applicable law not to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, or violations of applicable sanctions regimes, and to maintain records in connection with those obligations. It also covers other legal record-keeping, reporting, and notification obligations to which we or our group companies are subject.
Where we process personal data on this basis, you may not be able to require us to delete that data during any applicable statutory retention period (see Section 10).
4.3 Legitimate Interests
We process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, provided that those interests are not overridden by your interests, rights, or freedoms. Our legitimate interests include:
- operating and administering Ubyx services and our business;
- maintaining records for audit, compliance, and dispute resolution;
- managing and developing our relationships with Business Contacts;
- ensuring the security of our systems, networks, and services;
- preventing, detecting, and mitigating fraud, financial crime, and other unlawful activity affecting us, our platform participants, or their customers;
- communicating with Business Contacts on operational matters relevant to our relationship;
- sending newsletters, updates, and other marketing communications to Business Contacts about Ubyx services; and
- analysing and improving our Websites and services.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing (see Section 11.1).
4.4 Consent
We rely on consent in limited circumstances, primarily for the use of non-essential cookies and analytics technologies on our Websites (see Section 12), and for marketing communications sent to individuals with whom we do or do not have an existing business relationship. Where we process on the basis of consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
5. How We Use Your Personal Data
We use personal data for the purposes set out in Sections 5.1 to 5.3, relying on the lawful bases described in Section 4.
5.1 Business Contact Data
We use Business Contact data to negotiate, enter into, and perform contracts; to manage business relationships; to communicate on operational matters; and to send marketing communications where appropriate.
5.2 Know Your Business and Beneficial Ownership Data
We use KYB and beneficial ownership data to conduct due diligence, fulfil our regulatory and compliance obligations, and onboard platform participants.
5.3 Website Visitors and Other Interactions
We use visitor and interaction data to operate and improve our Websites, respond to enquiries, administer events, and analyse usage patterns.
6. Sensitive Personal Data
We do not seek to collect special categories of personal data (as defined under the UK GDPR or EU GDPR) as part of our standard processes. To the extent that identification documents or compliance data incidentally contain such information (for example, nationality information in a passport), we collect and retain only what is strictly necessary for our compliance obligations and handle it with appropriate additional care.
7. How We Share Your Personal Data
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with the following categories of recipients:
7.1 KYB/KYC and Identity Verification Platform Providers
We use third-party KYB/KYC and identity verification platform providers to process KYB/KYC and beneficial ownership data on our behalf as data processors, pursuant to data processing agreements with Ubyx.
7.2 Settlement Venues
We use third-party settlement venues in connection with the provision of Ubyx services. As part of the onboarding process, we may be required to share certain KYB/KYC and beneficial ownership data with those settlement venues to enable them to conduct their own compliance onboarding. Each such entity receives and processes this data as an independent data controller for its own regulatory compliance purposes. The sharing of such data is subject to a data sharing agreement between Ubyx and the relevant entity and, where required, to appropriate international transfer safeguards (see Section 9).
7.3 Service Providers and Contractors
We engage service providers and contractors who process personal data on our behalf in connection with the operation of Ubyx services and our business. These include providers in the following categories:
- Information technology and software services
- Data hosting services
- CRM and business communications platforms
- Mailing and marketing services
- Event management services
- Background check and due diligence providers
- Cyber and physical security services
- Other technology and service providers
All service providers and contractors who process personal data on our behalf are bound by data processing agreements that impose data protection obligations at least equivalent to those applicable to Ubyx.
7.4 Ubyx Group Companies
We may share personal data with other companies within the Ubyx Group to the extent necessary for the operation of Ubyx services, internal administration, compliance, or support functions. All such sharing within the Ubyx Group is subject to intra-group data protection arrangements that provide equivalent protection to that described in this notice.
7.5 Regulators, Law Enforcement, and Legal Proceedings
We may disclose personal data to regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts, or other public authorities where required or permitted by applicable law, or where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
7.6 Business Transfers
If any Ubyx Group company undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of its business or assets, personal data may be transferred to the relevant counterparty as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
8. Automated Decision-Making
We do not make decisions about individuals that have legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing.
9. International Transfers
Ubyx Inc. and other Ubyx Group companies are established in jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. Where we receive personal data from individuals located in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland, any transfer to a country not recognised as providing an adequate level of protection is subject to appropriate safeguards:
- UK data subjects: transfers are made pursuant to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (EC Decision 2021/914) as supplemented by the UK Addendum issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office under section 119A of the Data Protection Act 2018.
- EEA data subjects: transfers are made pursuant to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (EC Decision 2021/914).
- Swiss data subjects: transfers are made pursuant to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with modifications required under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP).
You may request a copy of the relevant transfer safeguards by contacting us using the details in Section 14.
10. How Long We Keep Your Personal Data
Following expiry of the relevant retention period, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised.
11. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights in respect of your personal data:
11.1 UK and EEA Residents (UK GDPR / EU GDPR)
- Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Rectification: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Erasure: ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances (note: we may be unable to delete data we are legally required to retain)
- Restriction: ask us to restrict processing while a complaint is resolved or accuracy is verified
- Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format, where processing is based on consent or contract
- Objection: object to processing carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests, including marketing communications
- Withdrawal of consent: where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 14. We will respond within one calendar month (extendable by a further two months for complex or numerous requests, with notice).
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk). In the EU, it is the supervisory authority in the Member State where you are habitually resident, work, or where an alleged infringement occurred.
11.2 Swiss Residents (nFADP)
Equivalent rights apply under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, including rights of access, rectification, and erasure.
11.3 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
