Data We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, including name, email address, company name, job title, and payment details when you register for or use pehtwand services.

We automatically collect technical data such as IP addresses, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, and timestamps through cookies and server logs.

We may receive data from third-party identity verification providers, credit bureaus, and business registries as required for compliance and onboarding.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data to provide, operate, and improve our banking infrastructure platform, process transactions, and fulfill contractual obligations.

We use it for regulatory compliance (AML, KYC), fraud prevention, security monitoring, and to communicate service updates, technical notices, and support messages.

With your consent, we may use contact details to send product information, webinars, and thought leadership relevant to financial services.

3

Cookies & Tracking

pehtwand uses strictly necessary cookies to operate the platform, as well as analytics cookies (e.g., session recording, page analytics) to improve user experience.

You may manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time via our Cookie Preference Centre or your browser settings; note that disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality.

We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies on our core banking infrastructure platform.

4

Third-Party Sharing

We share data with sub-processors (cloud infrastructure, identity verification, analytics) under strict data processing agreements that require equivalent protection standards.

We may disclose data to regulators, law enforcement, or courts when legally required, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of pehtwand, our clients, or the public.

We never sell your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Retention

Upon verified deletion requests, we anonymise or securely destroy data within 90 days, except where retention is required by law.

7

Security

pehtwand employs AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and continuous security monitoring.

Children's Privacy

pehtwand services are designed for business entities and professionals and are not directed at individuals under the age of 18.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently done so, we will delete that data promptly.
