Our Role: When We Are a Processor and When We Are a Controller

Where we act as a Data Processor. When an Organisation uses Flopay to collect revenue, invoice, or manage payments from its Payers, the Organisation is the Data Controller for that Payer data. The Organisation determines what data is collected and the purposes for which it is used. I-Tech Platform Limited acts as a Data Processor, processing such data only to operate the Platform and facilitate transactions on the Organisation's behalf.

Where we act as a Data Controller. We act as a Data Controller for personal data we collect and decide the use of directly, including account registration data for Organisations, Payers, and Agents; technical and usage data collected through the Services; and data relating to customer support, marketing, and platform security.
