Protecting customer data is at the forefront of what we do which is why we have a proactive approach to Privacy.

It has never been an afterthought or a supplement to our processes or infrastructure. End-to-end security in that privacy protection follows data through the lifecycle (collection, processing, storage, & backup). Encryption and multi-factor authentication are the standard at every stage.

Privacy by Design can best be explained by defining it as “data protection through technology design.” Privacy is imbedded into our design and architecture.

GDPR Privacy

  • Performance of a contract: Provision of Personal Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof.
  • Legal obligations: Processing Personal Data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Gotransverse is subject.
  • Vital interests: Processing Personal Data is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or of another natural person.
  • Public interests: Processing Personal Data is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in Gotransverse
  • Legitimate interests: Processing Personal Data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Gotransverse

In any case, Gotransverse will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Your Rights under the GDPR

The Company undertakes to respect the confidentiality of your Personal Data and to guarantee you can exercise your rights.

You have the right under this Privacy Policy, and by law if you are within the EU, to:

  • Request access to your Personal Data. The right to access, update or delete your Personal Information. Whenever made possible, you can access, update or request deletion of your Personal Data directly within your account settings section. If you are unable to perform these actions yourself, please contact Us to assist you. This also enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. You have the right to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Object to processing of your Personal Data. This right exists where we are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis for Our processing and there is something about your particular situation, which makes you want to object to our processing of your Personal Data on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request erasure of your Personal Data. You have the right to ask Us to delete or remove Personal Data when there is no good reason for Us to continue processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your Personal Data. We will provide to you, or to a third-party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for Us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw your consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent on using your Personal Data. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with access to certain specific functionalities of the Service.

An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data should direct his query to the the Data Controller.

If requested to remove personally identifiable data, it is on the part of the Data Controller to make the change within their system and either 1) utilize their user interface to make the same changes to the corresponding account in the Gotransverse system or, 2) send a request to Gotransverse to make the changes to the billing account.

Exercising of your GDPR Data Protection Rights

You may exercise your rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition by contacting Us. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. If you make a request, Gotransverse will try our best to respond to you as soon as possible.

Because of the complex architecture of the Gotransverse Billing Platform, deletion of accounts will result in the inaccuracy of records, statements, invoices, ledgers, etc. To circumvent this issue, an account will be considered removed if the user is no longer identified as being in the system. Changing of personally identifiable information (First & Last Name, Home Street Address, billing street address, Phone Number, E-mail address) will make a user’s identity obsolete in the system. This includes history and future transactions.

You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about Our collection and use of your Personal Data. For more information, if you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), please contact your local data protection authority in the EEA.

The Gotransverse platform collects information under the direction of our customer and has no direct relationship with the individuals whose personal data it processes. If you are an end user of one of our customers and would like to remove your data from their system or would no longer like to be contacted by one of our customers that use our service, please contact the customer that you interact with directly. While unlikely, Gotransverse may transfer Personal Information to companies that help us provide our service. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by the service agreements with our customers.
