PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION POLICY
This Personal Data Protection Policy details all the information which will enable you to understand how your personal data is processed within the Automatic Cashback Service. If you would like to read the general data protection policy for all services provided by Macadam, which complements this specific policy, click here.
The processing of your personal data by PayLead and Macadam results from your willingness to participate in the Automatic Cashback Service. In the interests of transparency, when you register for the Automatic Cashback Service we will provide you with as much information as possible about how we use your personal data and the extent of your rights (including the right to object to processing which is not strictly necessary for the provision of the Automatic Cashback Service).
The protection of personal data is a priority for Macadam and PayLead. We are committed to respecting the rules arising from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. WHO IS LIABLE FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA ?

Please note that Macadam does not transfer your name, surname, email address, date of birth or nationality to PayLead. This information remains in the sole possession of Macadam.
PayLead identifies you only through a unique user ID, called a "token," consisting of a series of numbers and letters. This is called pseudonymisation.
By analysing your banking data, PayLead also processes your consumption habits (your favourite brands, your favourite shops, the geographical areas where you usually shop, your average basket), your average salary, your exceptional income or life events which can be deducted from your purchases (such as weddings, births, etc.).
As part of the support process, we process additional personal data of any kind which you may provide to us. In doing so, we ask that you limit the information shared to what is necessary, in particular what is required by us to respond to your request.

When you decide to unsubscribe from the Automatic Cashback Service:

Macadam will delete all of your personal data related to the Automatic Cashback, except for data relating to the payment of Automatic Cashback, which will be blocked and retained for a 6-year period.

5. TO WHOM IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COMMUNICATED?
Your personal data is only accessible to PayLead or Macadam staff who need to know it in order to carry out their duties and provide the Automatic Cashback Service.

PayLead will inform you of such transfers outside the EU and ensure that your personal data is properly protected in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR. Upon request, PayLead will provide you with a copy of the applicable safeguards.
