- Your consent to such collection and use;
- Out of necessity for the performance of an agreement between us and you, such as your agreement to use our Services or your request for Services;

Provided that, in each circumstance, we will weigh the necessity of our processing for the purpose against your privacy and confidentiality interests, including taking into account your reasonable expectations, the impact of processing, and any safeguards which are or could be put in place. In all circumstances, we will limit such processing for our legitimate business interest to what is necessary for its purposes.
Your Failure to Provide Personal Information
Your provision of Personal Data is required in order to use certain parts of our services and our programs. If you fail to provide such Personal Data, you may not be able to access and use our Services and/or our programs, or parts of our Services and/or our programs.
Our Retention of Your Personal Data
We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data on the basis of the amount, nature and sensitivity of your Personal Data processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data and whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, as well as on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).
After expiry of the applicable retention periods, your Personal Data will be deleted. If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further use of such data.
Sharing Personal Data
Paymentus may disclose your Personal Data to your biller, commercial providers and trusted business partners for a business purpose, which includes verifying your identity, to enable our compliance with applicable law and payment network rules when you make a payment or register access to your accounts, to process your payment instructions, to offer you additional channels through which you may receive information about your bills or to make payments, or to test or improve our Services. When we disclose Personal Data for these reasons, we enter into a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that Personal Data confidential and not use it for any purpose except for the purposes set forth in the contract. We may also disclose Personal Data to governmental authorities and in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings as required or permitted by applicable law to meet legal obligations or to defend or assert our rights or the rights of others. If we establish a new related entity, are acquired by or merged with another organization, or if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another organization, Personal Data about our users is often a transferred business asset. In the event that Paymentus itself or substantially all of our assets are acquired, Personal Data about our users may be one of the transferred assets.
Your Rights and Choices
You may have certain rights relating to your Personal Data, to the extent provided by local law. We will provide you with access to your Personal Data as required by applicable law. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it - unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes.

To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the information.

Direct Marketing and "Do Not Track" Signals
Paymentus does not track its users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.
