Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 29/08/2025

Version: 1.1

1. Introduction

At Checkypro, we are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of both our merchant clients and the customers who interact with their stores. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal data through our platform — including both merchant data and consumer data that flows through our integrated checkout.

This policy applies to the use of the Checkypro platform, including our merchant dashboard, hosted checkout, website, and e-commerce integrations such as Shopify.

2. Who We Are

Checkypro ("we", "our", "us") is a technology platform offering two distinct services:

Checkout infrastructure that merchants connect to their online stores (e.g. via Shopify)

Payment routing via white-labeled PSPs such as Rapyd and Payabl

For merchant data, we act as the data controller.

For consumer data (shoppers purchasing through our Checkout), we act as a data processor on behalf of the merchant.

3. What Data We Collect

3.1 Merchant Data

We collect merchant data during account creation, onboarding, and platform use. This includes:

Business name and legal registration details

Contact information (email, phone)

Identity documents for UBOs (passports, national ID)

Billing details, payout preferences, VAT numbers

Login sessions, dashboard activity, and account configurations

Fraud scores, refund rates, chargeback ratios

3.2 Consumer Data via Shopify or Checkout

When merchants integrate Checkypro with Shopify or use our Checkout product, we may automatically access and process customer data from the merchant’s store, including:

Full name and shipping address

Email address

Purchased products and order value

IP address and browser fingerprint

Order status, fulfillment status, refund status

Tracking numbers and delivery confirmations

Fraud patterns or anomalies detected by our tools

4. How We Use This Data

4.1 For Merchants

We process merchant data to:

Facilitate onboarding and platform usage

Pre-screen accounts for risk, compliance, and fraud indicators

Help route payment traffic through our acquirer partners

Provide chargeback alerts and automated dispute tools

Communicate with merchants regarding account status, billing, or technical issues

Enforce our Acceptable Use Policy

4.2 For Consumers (Shoppers)

We process customer data on behalf of merchants to:

Enable secure checkout and payment routing

Detect high-risk transactions, patterns, or abuse

Support evidence collection for chargebacks or disputes

Help our acquirer partners (Rapyd, Payabl) perform KYC/AML risk profiling at the merchant level

Note: We do not contact end-customers directly, nor do we use their data for marketing or profiling.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data on the basis of:

Contractual necessity (for delivering services to merchants)
Legal obligation (for anti-money laundering and fraud prevention)
Legitimate interest (to protect platform integrity and ensure secure transactions)
Consent (for cookie use, marketing communications, or optional tools)

6. Data Sharing

We share data as follows:

With licensed financial partners such as Rapyd and Payabl for onboarding, KYC/AML screening, transaction approval, and payout facilitation

With infrastructure providers (e.g. cloud hosts, analytics tools, fraud engines) under strict data protection agreements

With law enforcement or regulators if legally compelled to do so

We may also share merchant risk indicators (e.g. excessive chargebacks, suspicious refunds) with acquirer partners to support fraud detection and onboarding review.

7. Shopify Access

When merchants connect their Shopify store to Checkypro, we receive access (via secure API) to:

Order data and metadata
Customer shipping and billing info
Product catalog and pricing
Fulfillment and delivery status
Historical refund and dispute activity

This data is used to assess merchant credibility, detect fraudulent behavior, and support regulatory compliance when routing through PSPs. Merchants are responsible for obtaining lawful customer consent for this data access.

8. Security Measures

We implement the following technical and organizational security measures:

TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit

Role-based access controls across all internal systems

Continuous monitoring, audit logging, and IP restriction

Hosting in secure, certified cloud environments

Regular penetration testing and vulnerability scans

Full PCI DSS Level 2 compliance

Annual SAQ-D validation

Tokenized payment flows via PCI-compliant acquirers (no raw card data stored)

9. Data Retention

We retain data based on regulatory, operational, and fraud-prevention needs:

KYC documentation: stored for as long as required under AML regulations
Transaction metadata: retained for internal analytics and chargeback support
Consumer order data: stored temporarily per merchant configuration
Inactive accounts: deleted or anonymized after [e.g. 12 months] of inactivity

10. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

Request access to your personal data

Request correction or deletion

Object to certain types of processing

Request data portability

Withdraw consent where applicable

File a complaint with a supervisory authority

To exercise your rights, please contact info@checkypro.com

11. International Transfers

Some data may be stored or processed outside the EEA. When this occurs, we use EU-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or ensure our partners are subject to equivalent data protection safeguards.

12. Cookies

Our platform and website use cookies and similar technologies. Please see our separate [Cookie Policy] for details about how we use cookies and how you can manage your preferences.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal or operational changes. Material updates will be communicated via email or within the dashboard. The latest version will always be available at [checkypro.com/privacy].
