We treat your personal data with care. If anything is unclear, don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

To conduct customer due diligence and anti-fraud checks: We process your personal data to conduct credit checks and checks to prevent fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing and to establish whether you are a politically exposed person (PEP). If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified or suspected, details may be passed to the relevant authorities.
  5. For marketing Curvo: we may use your personal data to contact you about our services. We may push notifications through the app or send you an email. You may opt-out at any time from any communication. We will not provide your contact details to any third parties for marketing purposes.
  6. If we change business structure: we may have to disclose your personal data with regards to legal proceedings or investigations from third parties such as public authorities, law enforcement agencies and regulators. We may also provide your personal data to any potential acquirer of or investor in any part of Curvo’s business for the sole purpose of that acquisition or investment. 

How we protect your personal data

Curvo has implemented appropriate technical measures to secure the processing of personal data. These safeguards are designed to keep personal data protected from unauthorised access. This includes the encryption of communications via SSL, encryption of information during storage, firewalls and access controls.

All Curvo team members and contractors, who will have access to personal data on our instructions, will be bound to confidentiality and we use access controls to limit access to individuals that require such access for the performance of their responsibilities and tasks.

How long we retain your personal data

We collect, use, disclose and otherwise process your personal data that is necessary for the purposes identified in this privacy policy or as permitted by the Data Protection Rules. If we require personal data for a purpose inconsistent with the purposes we identified in this privacy policy, we will notify you of the new purpose and, where required, ask for your consent to process personal data for the new purposes.

Our retention periods for personal data are based on business needs and legal requirements. We retain your personal data as long as you access and make use of the Curvo app. We will retain your personal data and keep your profile active until the customer relationship with you ends. After it has ended, we will retain your personal data for a limited period of time.
