Edenred takes the issue of collecting and processing your personal information seriously. Edenred is committed to protecting your personal information and to informing you of your rights with respect to your personal information. Edenred aims to set out clearly at the time we collect your personal information:
You should also familiarize yourself with the section at the end of this Edenred Privacy Policy headed: Your Data Subject Rights that informs you how you may control the use of your personal information.
This Edenred Privacy Policy (Policy) applies to all services offered by Edenred and whenever we process your personal information.
In this Policy, references to ‘we’ or ‘us’ or ‘our’ are to the Edenred company with whom you are in correspondence.
Our Policy applies to anyone (you, your*) who interacts with us, including Legal Persons (such as an incorporated company), who enquires about our products and services or who makes use of them, via any media including electronic media such as email, website, apps, telephone etc.
*You may be an Edenred: prospect, client, employee, agent or consultant, Edenred client, Edenred employee, agent or consultant providing services to Edenred or to whom Edenred is providing services
In most cases, personal information is information relating to a living individual that can be used to identify or contact them.
We process your personal information when we collect, store, use it in any way, for any purpose or delete your personal information.
In order for Edenred to provide services to you and discharge regulatory and legal obligations in respect of its processing activities, Edenred will have to process your personal information. If we are unable to process your personal information, we may not be able to provide our services to you or administer our business.
The personal information we need to collect will depend on the service(s) that we provide to you, but we will only process personal information that is adequate and required to enable us to do so. We usually collect personal information about you from you directly, but in certain circumstances, we may collect personal information on you from other sources such as publicly or privately available records.
In general, Edenred commonly collects personal information as follows:
We process personal information primarily for the purpose of providing a contracted service(s) to you, but in addition to this, we may use your information for the following purposes:
Edenred personnel will process your information; however, Edenred may also arrange for third-party service providers such as Edenred’s accountants, your accountants or those appointed by an entity connected to you, our security teams, banks (for instance, for making payments), custodians, depositaries, funds, portfolio managers, distributors, regulatory bodies, your advisors or those appointed by an entity connected to you, our advisors, fund advisors, IT service providers, telecommunications providers, third-party business processing providers, share personal information with our investors or any potential acquiring party, bank or financing institution for Edenred’s legitimate business interests and with other parties with whom Edenred contracts to access and process your personal information in order for the relevant services to be provided to you.
These third-party service providers are variously under the duties of client confidentiality, covering the storage and disclosure of your personal information in order to safeguard it, prevent unauthorized access, and comply with relevant data protection laws.
The personal information that we hold may be retained and stored for a period after our relationship has ended. The length of the storage period is determined by relevant local data protection laws and regulations. We will delete your personal information once it is no longer required for processing purposes.
Where regulatory requirements require us to keep your personal information for a longer period, we will have to do so. For example, we may be required by the Anti-Money Laundering Directive to retain personal information processed for our due diligence on you and your financial transaction history for a period of six years after our business relationship ends. Once the legal / regulatory retention period has expired we will securely destroy all of your personal information, except where it is required in litigation, or has been requested by a Supervisory Authority or other law enforcement agency, or where you have requested that it be retained (and have paid an appropriate fee to do so).

We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are generally considered personal information by some local laws, we also treat IP as personal information.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our Cookie Policy.

We will never sell your personal information. We may share your personal information within the Edenred group of companies with third-party service providers to Edenred and regulatory or legal authorities only for the purpose of providing our contracted service(s) to you or as required by regulations or law.
Edenred operates internationally and has offices and personnel in the European Union, and complies with applicable legislation internationally. Edenred has internal processes and safeguards in place for the safe transfer of your personal information between Edenred companies located in the European Union. We apply an equivalent standard of protection to your personal information in all of our office locations globally.
Edenred also uses a number of third parties service providers who may, on occasion or routinely depending on their role, have access to your personal information as set out in section 6 above. Edenred has made arrangements with these third-party services providers so that your personal information may be moved safely to and from their offices and personnel.
We will place any updates to this Policy (or any other policies referred to in this Policy) from time to time on our website. When we change this Policy in a material way, a notice will be posted on our website along with the updated Policy.
Additional information will be given to you if required for specific interactions or in relation to specific products or services or depending on the way we interact with each other. For example, if you use Edenred-provided third-party apps, we may provide you privacy notices just in relation to a particular data type collected through that app.
We have appointed a Data Protection Officer who is responsible for ensuring that Edenred is fully compliant with relevant data protection laws. If you have any questions or concerns about personal information or our Policy, or you wish to make a complaint about how we have processed your personal information, or you wish to exercise any of your rights as a data subject, please contact our Data Protection Officers by email at EAE.DPO@edenred.com.
