1. What is the Global Privacy Policy, and what does it cover?

At Yuno and our affiliates worldwide (collectively, "Yuno," "we," or "our"), we are fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and personal data protection. This Global Privacy Policy (hereinafter the "Policy") explains how we collect, use, retain, and transfer your information through our websites (e.g., www.y.uno) (our "Sites") and our comprehensive payment orchestration platform and related services (our "Services"). Additionally, this Policy informs you about the entity responsible for your personal data and your rights regarding this information. This document is essential to allow you to clearly and informedly navigate our Sites and use our Services.

Yuno is a software platform that provides payment-orchestration technology (including dashboards, APIs, and routing tools) that enables Merchants to connect to and manage integrations with third-party payment and risk providers. Yuno does not hold, control, transmit, or settle funds; does not onboard End-Users for payment schemes; does not issue e-money; and does not operate payment systems. Payment authorization, settlement, and regulated payment processing are performed by Merchants and/or their selected payment service providers under their own legal and regulatory obligations.

This Policy establishes fundamental standards and the binding framework for personal data protection applicable to all entities within the Yuno Group globally (hereinafter, "Yuno Group"), including operations in Brazil, Colombia, India, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Qatar (QFC), Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Local Privacy Policies ("Local Policies") supplement and adapt this Policy to address and comply with specific legal obligations and particularities of the jurisdictions in which Yuno operates. In case of any doubt or direct interpretative conflict regarding definitions, rights, and purposes, the provisions of the Local Policies shall prevail over this Policy. We recommend that you carefully read the following Policy.

3. What is Yuno's Role and Responsibilities in Personal Data Processing?

Understanding Yuno's role in the processing of Personal Data is crucial to comprehending how your information is managed:

When Yuno Acts as a Data Controller:

Yuno acts as a Data Controller when we determine the purposes (the "why") and means (the "how") of Personal Data processing to achieve our own business objectives and fulfill our obligations. This includes scenarios such as:

  • Managing relationships with representatives of our Merchants, Partners, and Providers.
  • Recruitment and human resources management processes for job applicants and Yuno employees.
  • Processing Personal Data of visitors to our Sites.
  • Sending marketing communications, offers, and promotions.
  • Managing sales and business development activities.
  • Compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations.

In these cases, Yuno ensures that the processing of Personal Data complies with this Policy and Applicable Data Protection Laws.

When Yuno Acts as a Data Processor:

Yuno acts as a Data Processor when providing Services to Merchants. In this role:

  • The Merchant is the Data Controller of their End-Users' Personal Data, determining the legal basis, purposes, and means for processing.
  • Yuno processes End-Users’ Personal Data (e.g., transaction details, payment information) solely according to the documented instructions of the Merchant. This relationship and Yuno’s obligations as a Data Processor are governed by a binding Data Processing Agreement (DPA).
  • If you are an End-User, the privacy policy provided by the Merchant with whom you have a direct relationship governs the collection and use of your Personal Data by that Merchant. Therefore, queries or requests concerning your rights should be directed directly to the Merchant.
  • Yuno, as a Data Processor, assists Merchants in responding to these requests in accordance with our DPA and Applicable Data Protection Laws.
  • Merchants must obtain the necessary consents or establish another valid legal basis for collecting and processing End-Users' Personal Data, including any further processing by Yuno as part of our Service provision..

4. What Information do we collect?

When Yuno acts as a Data Controller, we may collect and process the following categories of Personal Data:
  • Identification and Contact Data: Full name, email address (personal or corporate), phone number, mailing address, job title, corporate affiliation, nationality, government-issued identifiers (where legally required for Know Your Customer (KYC) or employment purposes).
  • Academic and Recruitment Data: Resumes/CVs, academic background, employment history, interview notes, assessment results, references, and background verification information (when legally permitted and with prior consent).
  • Employment Data: Corporate email, corporate phone number, appointment details, job position.
  • Business Data: Information about your company, industry, contractual details with Yuno, billing, and payment information.
  • Electronic Data: IP address, device identifiers, browser type and settings, operating system, usage patterns, browsing data (clickstream), pages visited, dates, and access times.
  • Preference Data: Commercial or consumer preferences.
  • Due Diligence Data: Information required for Know Your Customer/Know Your Business (KYC/KYB) processes, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) analyses, and other compliance verifications related to our Merchants, Partners, and significant Providers.
When Yuno acts as a Data Processor

Yuno processes End-User Personal Data necessary to deliver our Services strictly under Merchant instructions. Data categories are defined by the Merchant and may include:

  • Payment Transaction Data: Transaction amount, currency, and transaction ID.
  • Payment Instrument Data: Tokenized card numbers, bank account details, electronic wallet information.
  • End-User Identification and Contact Data: Name, email address, and billing/shipping address.
  • Electronic Data: IP address and device fingerprint.
Do We Process Special Categories of Personal Data or Data from Children and Adolescents?

Yuno does not generally process special categories of Personal Data for its own purposes as a Data Controller, except in strictly limited and legally permissible circumstances with explicit, verifiable consent or when Applicable Data Protection Laws permit or require it. In such cases, specific information about the purposes will be provided.

Concerning the Personal Data of children and adolescents (minors as defined by local laws and Applicable Data Protection Laws), Yuno only processes minors' Personal Data when acting as a Data Processor. In these cases, it is the Merchant's responsibility to obtain consent from the minor or their parents/legal guardians to process this Personal Data. If Yuno becomes aware that Personal Data from minors was collected without the appropriate consent, we will promptly take steps to delete this information.

5. How Do We Use Your Information?

The purposes for processing your Personal Data outlined below provide a general framework of Yuno's operations. Specific purposes may vary, being broader or narrower, depending on the nature of your relationship with Yuno, the particular services you receive, and Applicable Data Protection Laws. To determine the precise purposes relevant to your situation, we encourage you to consult your jurisdiction's Local Privacy Policies.

6. Do We Share Your Information with Third Parties?

We do not sell, disclose, or share your collected Personal Data except as described in this Policy or as required or permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws. Yuno may share your Personal Data with third parties under the following circumstances and purposes:

  • Yuno Group Companies: For internal administrative purposes, data consolidation, service provision involving multiple group entities, or to offer integrated services.
  • Service Providers (Our Data Processors): External providers contracted to perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, IT support, CRM management, analytics, marketing tools, recruitment platforms, and background check providers. These providers are contractually bound to protect Personal Data and process it only according to our documented instructions under a Data Processing Agreement.
  • Partners: When required to deliver or integrate Services requested by our Merchants, such as integrating with a selected Payment Service Provider (PSP).
  • Government and Regulatory Authorities: Federal, state administrations; commissions; regulatory bodies; judicial or administrative authorities; governmental entities when mandated by Applicable Data Protection Laws for compliance with legal obligations, legal proceedings, or substantiated governmental requests; establishing, exercising, or defending legal rights; protecting vital interests of persons; or addressing fraud, security, or technical issues.
  • Commercial Partners: For developing commercial actions and communicating offers and promotions. In such cases, Yuno will provide mechanisms for you to grant prior consent.

When Yuno acts as a Data Processor for Merchants (e.g., processing End-User transactions), we share End-User Personal Data with payment acquirers, PSPs, fraud prevention tools, and other entities within the payments ecosystem strictly following Merchant instructions and as necessary to process payment transactions and deliver contracted Services.

Yuno contractually requires all ecosystem Partners (payment gateways, PSPs, acquirers, processors, fraud prevention providers) to implement robust data protection measures aligned with current laws. Each Partner must maintain stringent security practices and strictly follow instructions from Yuno or the relevant Merchant. Yuno may disclose Personal Data to governmental or regulatory authorities as mandated by Applicable Data Protection Laws. If such a request originates from a jurisdiction different from the Data Subject's, we will assess compliance requirements and, if necessary, consult the issuing regulatory authority to confirm legality.

7. Are International or Cross-border Transfers of Personal Data Conducted?

As a global organization, Yuno may transfer and process Personal Data under our responsibility (whether as a Controller or Processor acting on behalf of Merchants) in countries other than the Data Subject's residence. These countries may have differing data protection standards. Yuno is committed to ensuring all international transfers comply securely with Applicable Data Protection Laws. We implement appropriate contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards, such as:

  • Transfers to countries formally recognized by competent authorities (e.g., the European Commission) as providing an adequate data protection level.
  • Use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by relevant regulatory authorities, complemented with supplementary measures where needed for transfers to countries without recognized adequacy.
  • Implementation of Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) for intra-group transfers, upon regulatory approval (if Yuno opts for this mechanism).
  • Reliance on other legally recognized transfer mechanisms or specific derogations permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws.
  • Conducting Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) as necessary, particularly for transfers to countries lacking adequacy decisions, and implementing supplemental measures ensuring Personal Data protection substantially equivalent to the originating jurisdiction's standards.

Certain jurisdictions, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and India, impose specific data localization requirements. Yuno ensures compliance with these requirements through appropriate infrastructure hosting arrangements. For details on jurisdiction-specific transfer mechanisms and data localization obligations, please refer to the applicable Local Privacy Policies.

8. What Are Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data?

The rights outlined below reflect Yuno's commitment to protecting your Personal Data. However, Applicable Data Protection Laws may specify broader, more detailed, or additional rights not listed here. Where applicable, the enumeration, scope, and specific conditions for exercising these rights will be detailed in your jurisdiction's Local Privacy Policies, which will prevail to ensure full compliance. You may exercise the following rights:

  • Right of Access: Request a copy of your Personal Data and information on how it is processed, in an accessible format.
  • Right to Rectification: Request correction of your Personal Data if inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
  • Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Request deletion of your Personal Data when no longer necessary for its original purpose, processed unlawfully, or as otherwise specified by Applicable Data Protection Laws, subject to certain legal exceptions.
  • Right to Restriction of Processing: Request restriction of your Personal Data processing under certain circumstances, such as when contesting accuracy or lawfulness of processing.
  • Right to Data Portability: Receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another Data Controller, where technically feasible.
  • Right to Object: Object to processing your Personal Data for specific purposes (e.g., direct marketing) or particular situations based on legitimate reasons unless overridden by legal obligations or compelling interests.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent at any time for consent-based processing. Withdrawal does not affect lawfulness prior to withdrawal, but it may prevent Yuno from providing certain products or services.
  • Rights Related to Automated Decisions: Request review of decisions based solely on automated processing affecting you significantly, including receiving clear information about the logic involved.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint: Submit complaints to your local data protection regulatory authority if your rights are infringed by Yuno.

9. How Will Your Request be Handled?

To exercise your rights or address questions and concerns regarding this Policy or your Personal Data, contact us at: privacy@y.uno. Requests will be reviewed and addressed within timeframes established by Applicable Data Protection Laws. To process your request securely and ensure Personal Data is not disclosed to unauthorized parties, we may request specific information to verify your identity.

Note for End-Users: If you are an End-User seeking to exercise your rights, direct your request to the Merchant with whom you have a relationship. The Merchant, as the Data Controller, is responsible for determining processing purposes and means. Yuno, as Data Processor, will support the Merchant's handling of your requests according to our Data Processing Agreement and Applicable Data Protection Laws.

10. How Do We Protect Your Personal Data?

Yuno maintains a comprehensive, risk-based information security program featuring administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data from destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse, whether accidental or unlawful. Our commitment to security is demonstrated by certifications available in our Trust Center, including:

  • ISO 27001 (Information Security Management)
  • ISO 27701 (Privacy Information Management)
  • PCI DSS Level 1 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
  • SOC 2 Type II (Service Organization Control)

Key security measures include encryption, access controls, network security, vulnerability management, incident response protocols, employee training, and supplier risk management. Despite exhaustive measures, no system can guarantee absolute security. In case of a Personal Data Breach, Yuno will act in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws and our contractual commitments. Where Yuno acts as a Data Processor, Yuno will notify the relevant Data Controller (typically the Merchant or Counterparty) without undue delay and will support the Controller’s notifications to authorities and data subjects as required by law. Where Yuno acts as a Data Controller, Yuno will notify the competent authority and affected individuals where and as required by Applicable Data Protection Laws.

For your own protection, we advise against sending sensitive Personal Data or full financial information (such as full credit card numbers) via unsecured communications like standard emails. Instead, use secure channels provided by Yuno.

11. How Long Do We Retain Your Information?

Your Personal Data will be retained only as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected, to meet legal, regulatory, contractual obligations, or for potential claims or rights protection. Yuno regularly reviews retention periods for each Personal Data category, considering its nature, processing purpose, applicable business or legal requirements, and Applicable Data Protection Laws. Detailed retention schedules may be provided in applicable Local Policies or contractual documentation.

Yuno uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Sites. These small files or code fragments stored on your device serve different purposes: strictly necessary cookies enable core site functionality; analytical cookies help us understand site performance and usage patterns; and preference cookies remember your browsing settings.

15. Consent Framework

This Section complements Section 5 of the Global Privacy Policy by documenting the specific scenarios in which consent is Yuno's applicable lawful basis as a Data Controller, the mechanism through which consent is obtained and recorded in each case, and the procedure governing non-compliant processing instructions. For Yuno's full processing purposes and general lawful basis framework, see Section 5 of the Policy. For Yuno's obligations as a Data Processor, see the Data Processing Agreement.

1. When Consent Is the Applicable Basis

Across Yuno's Controller activities, the lawful basis is generally contract performance, legal obligation, or legitimate interests — as set out in the Section 5 table. Consent is the applicable basis only in the following specific scenarios:

In all other Controller activities, processing rests on contract, legal obligation, or legitimate interests, and no separate consent is sought from the data subject. Note on KSA and India. Under the KSA Personal Data Protection Law (Royal Decree M/19) and its Implementing Regulations, legitimate interests does not operate as a standalone basis equivalent to GDPR Art. 6(1)(f); Yuno maintains a documented assessment where this distinction is material. Under India's DPDP Act 2023, consent is the primary basis; employment and compliance-related processing falls under Art. 7 legitimate uses.

2. Consent Standards and Records

Consent is always obtained through a clear, affirmative, and unambiguous action. Yuno does not rely on pre-ticked boxes, silence, or inactivity.

Recruitment. A privacy notice is presented at the point of application submission. For CV retention outside an open application, specific consent is additionally requested and logged, including timestamp and scope.

Commercial forms. For any form submission where consent is the applicable basis, an explicit opt-in is required before the form is processed.

End-User transactional flows. Yuno acts as Data Processor in payment flows. The Merchant, as Data Controller, establishes the lawful basis for End-User personal data through acceptance of its own terms and conditions and privacy policy at checkout. Yuno does not independently collect or establish that lawful basis; this obligation rests exclusively with the Merchant under DPA Article 3.1.

Withdrawal. Data subjects may withdraw consent at any time by contacting privacy@y.uno. Withdrawal is processed without undue delay and does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.

Records. Yuno maintains consent records capturing: the data subject's identity or pseudonymous identifier; the date, time, and mechanism of consent; the specific purpose(s); and the version of the privacy notice presented. Records are retained for the period required by Applicable Data Protection Laws or the duration of the processing activity, whichever is longer.
