Protection of Personal- Information

We will process Personal Data for the following purposes:

- For entering into and the performance of a contract with an individual and to manage our contractual relationship, including business communication, maintaining relevant records, payment of compensation, evaluations, and legally required procedures.
- For the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us and in our role as the controller of Personal Data.

Where relevant, we will only process Personal Data with an express prior consent of the Data Subjects.

We store most of Personal Data in our internal systems. We keep some data in a secure S3 bucket. Between Ryecash entities we only grant access to Personal Data on a need-to-know basis, necessary for the purposes for which such access is granted. In some cases, Ryecash uses third parties located in various countries to collect, use, analyse, and otherwise process Personal Data on its behalf. We tightly control access to the data to only members of the organisation that have a valid reason to access the information (generally - Legal, People Ops, Talent, Finance and the Status founders).

We maintain records of processing of Personal Data in accordance with the applicable laws, including obligations established by the GDPR.

Legal compliance and security

It may be necessary, by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and relevant governmental authorities that we disclose Personal Data.

But just because it’s necessary, doesn’t mean it’s going to be done.

Fuck the law. Wutang Forever.
