Privacy Policy
Introduction
WEMIX MENA. LTD. (“we”, “us”, “our”) takes the protection of personal data (“Personal Data”) very seriously. Please read this privacy policy (the “Policy”) to learn what we are doing with your Personal Data, how we protect it, and what privacy rights you may have under applicable data protection and privacy laws, such as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).
Our Role With Respect to Your Personal Data
Within the scope of this Policy, WEMIX MENA. LTD. acts as a data controller or “business” for the Personal Data we process. This means that we decide how and why Personal Data is collected and further processed.
WEMIX MENA. LTD and WEMIX PTE. LTD. have concluded a Joint Controller Agreement which sets out the duties of both Controllers in accordance with Art. 26 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the equivalent provisions of the applicable data protection laws. You can refer to the Contact details for the Joint Controller here.
Lawful Bases for Processing
To use your Personal Data, we must have a valid reason, which under some laws is called the “lawful basis for processing” or “legal grounds for processing.” We may process your Personal Data based on these reasons:
Your Consent: We may use your Personal Data because you have actively indicated that it is okay for us to do so. This includes situations where you have given permission for us to send you marketing emails or to participate in beta testing of our service during the pre-registration process.
Legal Obligation: We may be required to process your Personal Data in order to comply with a legal obligation.
Legitimate Interests: Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, we may process your Personal Data, to the extent that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Here is what it normally means for us:
Product Improvement: We may use data to enhance the services features and functionality, making them more useful and user-friendly.
Customer Engagement: Keeping users and subscribers informed about updates, new features, and content that may interest them.
Research and Development: Using aggregated and anonymized data to conduct research on trends and user behavior to improve the services.
Marketing and Promotion: Promoting the services to a wider audience and providing tailored recommendations based on user data.
Security and Fraud Prevention: Protecting the services and its users from security threats, fraud, and abuse.
Legal Compliance: Ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, including the rules from other countries besides yours.
Business Operations: Managing day-to-day operations and ensuring the app’s sustainability and growth.
If we use legitimate interests as the reason for using your Personal Data, you can ask us for more details about why we think it is a good idea. Just get in touch by using the contact details here.
When we use your Personal Data because you gave us permission (consent), you can change your mind at any time. However, this will not undo the things we did with your data before you changed your mind. It also will not change the things we are allowed to do with your data based on other reasons.

How Can You Exercise Your Privacy Rights?
To exercise any of the rights described above, please submit a request by contacting us by email at wemixpay_privacy@wemix.com (Privacy Team).
Verification of Your Identity
In order to correctly respond to your privacy rights requests, we need to confirm that YOU made the request. Consequently, we may require additional information to confirm that you are who you say you are.
We will only use the Personal Data you provide us in a request to verify your identity or authority to make the request.
Verification of Authority
If you are submitting a request on behalf of somebody else, we will need to verify your authority to act on behalf of that individual. When contacting us, please provide us with proof that the individual gave you signed permission to submit this request, a valid power of attorney on behalf of the individual, or proof of parental responsibility or legal guardianship. Alternatively, you may ask the individual to directly contact us by using the contact details above to verify their identity with Wemade and confirm with us that they gave you permission to submit this request.
Response Timing and Format of Our Responses
We will confirm the receipt of your request within ten (10) business days and, in that communication, we will also describe our identity verification process (if needed) and when you should expect a response, unless we have already granted or denied the request.
Please allow us up to a month to reply to your requests from the day we received your request. If we need more time (up to 90 days in total), we will inform you of the reason why and the extension period in writing.
If we cannot satisfy a request, we will explain why in our response. For data portability requests, we will choose a format to provide your Personal Data that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without difficulty.
We will not charge a fee for processing or responding to your requests. However, we may charge a fee if we determine that your request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. In those cases, we will tell you why we made that determination and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Data Integrity & Security
We are strongly committed to keeping your Personal Data safe. We have implemented and will maintain technical, administrative, and physical measures that are reasonably designed to help protect your Personal Data from unauthorized processing. Unauthorized processing includes unauthorized access, exfiltration, theft, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
