Cappy’s processing as a personal data processor

Through Cappy’s services and app, you can collect your earned pay and other compensation in advance of regular payday. Cappy manages withdrawals of your earned pay and other compensation in advance, and carries out pay payments on the regular payday as well as other payments on behalf of your employer. This means that Cappy acts as a personal data processor in relation to your employer when processing your personal data for these purposes. Your employer is always responsible for paying your pay.

When Cappy acts as a personal data processor on behalf of your employer for the abovementioned purposes, Cappy processes personal data such as personal identification number, phone number, employer, number of hours worked per pay period, earned pay, withdrawals made, regular pay, bank details, and any other data that affects payment of earned pay through our services and the app. The personal data is processed as long as you have a user account in the app or as long as your employer is connected to the app, unless Cappy receives other instructions from your employer.

2. To who do we disclose your personal data and where do we process it geographically?

Examples of third parties that we may share your personal data with are external advisors such as auditors or other consultants we use for management of accounting matters and other matters in our operations.

This information is only disclosed to enable the creditors to assert its claim for the salary amount towards your employer, if Cappy for any reason is unable to do so. The information is only disclosed if you make a withdrawal of your salary or other compensation in advance of regular payday.
