When you use financial services powered by Weavr, your data is shared and handled carefully by several parties:
Weavr: The platform provider that works with financial institutions (FIs) to power the service.
Embedders (also called Corporates): These are the companies or organisations offering you embedded financial products.
Partner Financial Institutions: Banks or licensed financial entities that handle your actual financial transactions.
Each plays a role in managing and protecting your personal and financial information to keep your data secure and comply with the law.
Who Handles Your Data?
Embedders (Corporates): May collect and process your data to provide their services. They are responsible for managing your data properly and securely.
Weavr: Provides the technology and ensures that Embedders and partner FIs follow strict data handling standards.
Partner Financial Institutions: Process your payments and financial transactions securely and in compliance with financial regulations.
What Types of Data Are Collected?
Personal Data: Your name, contact details, government IDs — information that identifies you.
Financial Data: Details of your payments, transactions, and account balances.
Transaction Logs: Records of your activity within the embedded finance service.
System Data: Technical data such as app or platform usage logs used for security and performance.
How Long Is Your Data Kept?
Your data is kept only as long as necessary to provide the service, meet legal obligations, or comply with partner FI rules. Typical retention periods are:
Data Type | Retention Period | Reason |
---|---|---|
Personal Data | Only as long as necessary | Privacy laws (e.g., GDPR) |
Financial Data | 5 to 7 years | Tax, audit, and financial reporting |
Transaction Data | 3 to 5 years | Fraud prevention, support |
System Data | As needed | Service performance and security |
When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
