1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WHO WE ARE

Purpose of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy aims to give you information on how Higlobe, Inc. collects and processes your Personal Data.

It is important that you read this Privacy Policy together with any other privacy policy or fair processing policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing Personal Data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your Personal Data.

This Privacy Policy may be supplemented by other privacy policies or notices and is not intended to override them.

In this Privacy Policy:

“Higlobe”, “we”, “us” and “our” refers to Higlobe, Inc.

“Personal Data” means any information relating to you as an identified or identifiable natural person (“Data Subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to your physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

For the avoidance of doubt, Personal Data does not include data from which you cannot be identified (which is referred to simply as data, non-Personal Data, anonymous data, or de- identified data).

“Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on Personal Data or on sets of Personal Data, by any means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

“Sensitive Personal Data” means Personal Data related to an individual in connection with racial or ethnic origin, religious belief, political opinion, trade union, philosophical or political organization affiliation, heath data, sexual life, genetic or biometric data.

Identity and the Contact Details of the Controller

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (“LGPD”), and Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares (“LFPD”) Higlobe, Inc. is the data controller and responsible for the Personal Data that we collect or that you provide to us.

If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy or any issue relating to how we collect, use, or disclose Personal Data, or if you would like us to update information we have about you, or more general queries you can contact us at: [email protected] .

Contact Details of the Data Protection Officer

2. LAWFUL BASIS FOR COLLECTING YOUR DATA AND HOW WE USE IT

Change of purpose

We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it. We will delete it after fulfilling the intended purpose, after expiration of the respective storage periods, or after the expiration of storage requirements as specified by regulation or another legal requirement. You can review our retention schedule in the table below.

We will only use your Personal Data when the law allows us to. We will use your Personal Data under the following circumstances:

I. Primary Purposes:

Consent

When you give us your consent, for example, to confirm your address or allow us to have access to your location. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. To withdraw your consent contact us at [email protected]

Contract

When we need to perform a contract you have entered into with us by accepting our Terms of Service or other more specific terms of services relating to other services offered by us.

Where we need to collect Personal Data under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform our services under the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with any of our services). In this case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

Legal or regulatory obligation

When we need to collect Personal Data by law. If you fail to provide that data when requested, we will not be able to perform our services under the contract with you (for example, to provide you with any of our products or services). In this case, we will have to cancel a product or service you have with us and we will notify you at that time.

Other Collection Processes

We also collect, use, and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.
For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website or Mobile App feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data, which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

II. Secondary Purposes:

Marketing

We are committed to providing you with choices regarding certain Personal Data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. We will get your consent before sending any third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

Promotional Offers from Us

We may use your Personal Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You can expect to receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information or purchased services from us and you have not opted out of receiving our marketing. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us at [email protected] .

Customer Service Communications

We may from time to time, send communications from our customer service team to notify you of any issues which may impact the performance of our services. In addition, when you contact our customer service team, you may be asked to provide information and/or documentation in order to verify your identity.

To Meet Our Contract Commitments

We will contact you for the following additional reasons to meet our contract commitments:

  • When we need to execute a contract you have entered into with us by accepting applicable terms and conditions or specific related terms relating to other services offered by us.  
  • Where we need to collect Personal Data under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform our services under the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with any of our services). In this case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

Please note that any administrative or service-related communications (to offer our services, or notify you of an update to this Privacy Policy or applicable terms and conditions, etc.) will solely be directed at our clients or business partners, and such communications generally do not offer an option to unsubscribe, as they are necessary to provide the services requested.

Therefore, please be aware that your ability to opt-out from receiving marketing and promotional materials does not change our right to contact you regarding your use of our online services or as part of a contractual relationship we may have with you.

3. HOW YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS COLLECTED

Information That You Provide to Us

Personal Data that you provide directly to us should be apparent from the context in which you provide it, for example: when you use our services, we must collect your name, email address, and transaction information to complete your transactions.

We will process Personal Data that you choose to provide to us through the Website and Mobile Apps, including, but not limited to, your first and last name, physical address, email address, mobile device identifier, or transactional data (e.g., amount of funds associated with a transaction, the type of transaction executed, financial institutions, and account information).

We use Personal Data that we collect automatically through cookies and action tags. We also use the information to help diagnose technical and service problems, administer the website, and identify visitors to the website.

Cookies: We use cookies on our website to collect data about your visit (like usage data, and other information automatically collected from your browser or mobile device; this information may include your IP address; browser type and version; preferred language; geographic location using IP address or the GPS, wireless, or Bluetooth technology on your device; operating system and computer platform) and to allow you to navigate from page to page without having to re-login each time, count visits, and see which areas and features of our website are popular. See our cookie policy for detail about what cookies are used and for what purposes.

Action Tags: We may use action tags to identify some of the pages that you visit and how you use the content on those pages. Action tags collect and transmit this data in a manner that identifies you if you have registered with our website or are logged into our online services.
We also may use action tags in our emails, to determine whether an email was opened or whether it was forwarded to someone else. When you use our applications, we may use action tags where you are accessing websites via links in our applications. These may identify the pages that you visit and how you use the content on those pages.

We use third party analysis tools to collect data about your computer and internet connection. That information includes, but is not limited to, the IP address of your computer and/or internet service provider, geolocation, when you access our online services, the Internet address of websites from which you link to our online services and from which you came to before landing on our online services, the browser that you are using and your movements on our online services.

We also use the data collected via cookies to track the popularity of our online services.

We also use third party analysis tools to collect data about your use of our applications. The information collected identifies the types and timing of actions you take within our applications, including installation, registration, uploading, and certain types of navigating. All of this information is used internally for the purpose of understanding how our applications are being used and improving them. For those cases in which the LFPD is applicable, we also inform you that your Personal Data obtained through the above automated technologies are for the exclusive use of the controller and will not be shared with any person, company, organization or governmental authorities (except as required by law) other than Higlobe, Inc.

Your browser settings may allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. Like many other websites and online services, we do not currently process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals from your browser or to other mechanisms that enable choice. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy.

Information That We Obtain From Third Parties and Publicly Available Sources

Third party partners and publicly available data sources are used in conjunction with our in- house systems for analyzing and verifying information provided by you to Higlobe, and for purposes of regulatory compliance and fraud detection/prevention.

For those cases in which the LFPD is applicable, in the event that Higlobe receives Personal Data through the transfer from another person or entity that had them in its possession, Higlobe, Inc.  shall manage the processing of the data in a manner that is consistent with the terms of the privacy notice of the controller who had possession of the personal data. You may view the type of data we share with third parties in the table below.

Third Party Links

In addition, please note that this website and our applications may include links to third- party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our online services, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every webpage or app you visit. We are not responsible for the security of any data you are transmitting over the Internet, or any data you are storing, posting, or providing directly to a third party’s website, which is governed by that party’s policies. If you have further questions about security, you can contact us using the details provided above.

4. FRAUD, ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING AND COMBATING TERRORIST FINANCING

Money laundering is defined as the process where the sources of funds are disguised so that it gives an impression of legitimate income. Criminal2s specifically target financial services firms through which they attempt to launder criminal proceeds without the firms’ knowledge
or suspicion. Higlobe utilizes numerous internal and third -party applications, products, and services to ensure that our services are not used for purposes of fraud, money laundering, and/or terrorist financing.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
U.S. Federal law (and all jurisdictions in which we operate) requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address,
date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

6. SECURITY MEASURES

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from unauthorized or accidental access, destruction, loss, theft, alteration communication, use, or any type of improper or unlawful processing. We have taken precautions to ensure the security of your data. The Personal Data you have entered on HTML pages (contact forms) and that is stored by us, shall be transmitted to Higlobe in encrypted form (TLS Transport Layer Security) via the public data network, and stored and processed at Higlobe or Higlobe contracted facilities.

In addition, we limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties strictly needed under the provisions made within a service agreement signed with them. They will only process your Personal Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality and a duty to comply with data protection procedures.

In the event of a personal data breach, Higlobe shall inform the Data Subject at least of the following: I. The nature of the incident; II. The personal data compromised; III. The recommendations to the Data Subject about the measures that he/she may adopt to protect his/her interests; IV. The corrective actions taken immediately; and V.

  • You withdraw your consent to processing and no other legal justification for processing applies;
  • We unlawfully processed your Personal Data;

Therefore, please be aware that your ability to opt-out from receiving marketing and promotional materials does not change our right to contact you regarding your use of our online services or as part of a contractual relationship we may have with you.

Right to Request Access

We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach a Supervisory Authority so please contact us at [email protected]

10. UPDATES ON OUR ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY

We keep our Privacy Policy under regular review and we will update it to reflect any changes.

Changes to this privacy notice may become necessary as we develop our online services, in order to implement new legal requirements or new technologies, and in order to improve the services we provide. If we change our Privacy Policy in the future, we will post the revised version on our website www.Higlobe.com together with the version number and date of change. You should check this Privacy Policy from time to time when you visit our website.

Where changes to this privacy policy may have a fundamental impact on the nature of the processing or otherwise have a substantial impact on you, we will provide you with a notice in advance.

It is important that the Personal Data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your Personal Data changes during your relationship with us.

Data Protection Principles

We will comply with data protection law and principles, which means that your data will be:

  • Used lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent way
  • Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes
  • Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes
  • Accurate and kept up to date
  • Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about
  • Maintained securely
  • Used solely for non-discriminatory purposes

AML/KYC Privacy Notice

We will process your identifying data and profile data within operations such as identification (Know your Customer, also known as KYC) and profiling (Customer Due Diligence, also known as CDD) for the purposes of the execution of our Anti Money Laundering (also known as AML) and Counter Terrorism Financing (also known as CTF) customer identification and verification process obligations.

When Higlobe asks for CDD, what this refers to is providing proof of identification and other identifying information. This along with information gathered at the application stage helps to describe any customer (KYC). Without a KYC program, Higlobe may unknowingly become involved with illicit activities and therefore be subject to reputational, operational and legal risks, which can result in significant financial cost. KYC is most closely associated with the fight against money-laundering.

Specific proof of Identification, source of funds and/or AML-CTF questionnaires that aimed at to fulfil KYC and CDD obligations are compulsory for Higlobe users and their failure to be provided might lead   to the blocking of your account or our refusal of services.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policies

Our AML policy is designed to prevent money laundering by meeting the U.S. and European standards on combating money laundering and terrorism financing, including the need to have adequate systems and controls in place to mitigate the risk of the firm being used to facilitate financial crime.

As a regulated financial institution, Higlobe has specific requirements regarding AML systems and procedures. This reflects senior management’s desire to prevent money laundering.

Sanctions Policy

Higlobe is prohibited from transacting with individuals, companies and countries that are on prescribed sanctions lists. Higlobe will therefore screen against United Nations, European Union, UK Treasury and US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions lists in all jurisdictions in which we operate.

Automated Decision Making

We do not utilize fully automated decision making processes. We use semi-automated processes which include, but are not limited to, screening Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) data you provide to us in order to assess whether or not we are legally able to allow you to use our services.

All automated screenings are manually reviewed by Higlobe compliance analysts for any adverse conclusions of onboarding. All positive conclusions are automated. The analyst will review the triage cases to determine if they should be cleared or escalated.

Third Parties and AML-KYC

Where processing of personal data is carried out on behalf of Higlobe by a third party provider, we execute a separate contract with the processor with respect to this processing. This contract requires compliance with European, U.S., Mexican, and Brazilian data protection regulations and defines sufficient guarantees for the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures, all of which are intended to ensure the protection of your rights.
