6. International Transfers of Personal Information

6.1 Cross-Border Nature of Our Services

Yousewire provides domestic and international financial services. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, processed, accessed, or stored outside your province, territory, or country of residence where this is reasonably necessary to provide the Services you request or to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

Cross-border processing is a normal part of international payment services and enables Yousewire to facilitate funding, currency exchange, domestic and international transfers, identity verification, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

  • cloud infrastructure and secure data hosting
  • customer support
  • regulatory reporting
  • business continuity and disaster recovery

We transfer only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

6.3 Countries Where Information May Be Processed

Because Yousewire supports cross-border financial services, your information may be processed in Canada and in other jurisdictions where our regulated payment infrastructure partners, financial institutions, verification providers, cloud service providers, or other authorized service providers operate.

The countries involved may vary depending on:

  • the Services you use
  • the currencies involved
  • the payment methods selected
  • the destination country
  • the location of our service providers
  • applicable legal and regulatory requirements

6.4 Different Privacy Laws

When personal information is processed outside your country of residence, it may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed.

Those laws may differ from the privacy laws applicable in your home jurisdiction and, in certain circumstances, may permit government authorities, courts, regulators, or law enforcement agencies to lawfully access personal information.

Yousewire considers these legal requirements when selecting service providers and implementing safeguards for cross-border processing.

While no method of transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security, Yousewire seeks to ensure that organizations processing personal information on our behalf maintain appropriate privacy and security standards.

6.6 Payment Processing

International financial transactions often require the exchange of payment instructions and related personal information between multiple organizations participating in the payment process.

Depending on the transaction, this may include regulated payment infrastructure partners, financial institutions, payment networks, correspondent banks, clearing systems, settlement institutions, and regulatory authorities.

Only the information reasonably necessary to process the transaction, satisfy legal obligations, and maintain the integrity of the financial system is shared.

6.7 Your Acknowledgement

By using the Platform, you acknowledge that, where reasonably necessary to provide the Services or comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Such transfers do not reduce Yousewire's responsibility to protect your personal information in accordance with applicable law and this Privacy Policy.

6.8 Our Commitment

International payments depend on cooperation between financial institutions, regulated payment infrastructure partners, verification providers, and technology providers operating in multiple jurisdictions.

Yousewire is committed to ensuring that cross-border transfers of personal information are carried out responsibly, transparently, and only where reasonably necessary to provide the Services, comply with applicable laws, or protect the security and integrity of the Platform.

We continuously review our cross-border data handling practices to ensure they remain consistent with evolving legal, regulatory, and industry standards.

Where appropriate, our agreements with these organizations include obligations relating to privacy, confidentiality, information security, and the protection of personal information.

  • unusual account behaviour
  • security events
  • other indicators reasonably necessary to protect customers and comply with applicable law

Where appropriate, monitoring is supported by automated systems together with review by authorized personnel.

7.6 Security Incidents

Despite our security measures, no organization can eliminate every risk.

If Yousewire becomes aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will investigate the incident promptly and take reasonable steps to contain, assess, and remediate the issue.

Where required by Applicable Law, we will notify affected individuals and the appropriate regulatory authorities.

The information provided in any notification will depend on the nature of the incident and the legal obligations that apply.

  • protecting your authentication credentials
  • keeping your devices updated

  • notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your Account
  • avoiding the disclosure of sensitive information through unsecured channels

Yousewire will never ask you to disclose your password or one-time authentication codes through email, SMS, or other unsolicited communications.

7.8 Retention of Security Records

To maintain the security of the Platform and comply with applicable laws, Yousewire may retain records relating to authentication events, security alerts, fraud investigations, compliance reviews, and other security-related activities.

These records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to protect the Platform, satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, or support investigations.

7.9 Continuous Improvement

Cybersecurity threats continue to evolve.

Accordingly, Yousewire continuously reviews and improves its privacy and information security practices to strengthen the protection of personal information and maintain the trust of our customers.

Yousewire uses cookies, analytics tools, and similar technologies to operate the Platform, improve customer experience, protect our Services, understand how our website and mobile applications are used, and enhance the performance of our products.

Some of these technologies are necessary for the Platform to function properly, while others help us improve our Services through analytics and performance measurement.

Where required by Applicable Law, we will obtain your consent before using technologies that are not strictly necessary.

Additional information about our use of cookies is available in our Cookie Policy.

8.2 Cookies

When you visit the Yousewire website, small data files known as cookies may be stored on your browser or device.

Cookies help us to:

  • remember your preferences
  • maintain secure sessions
  • improve website functionality
  • understand how visitors use our website
  • detect technical issues
  • protect against fraudulent activity
  • improve the overall user experience

Some cookies are essential to the operation of the website and cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.

8.3 Mobile Application Technologies

Our mobile applications may use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies.

These technologies help us:

  • maintain secure user sessions
  • remember application settings
  • improve application performance
  • diagnose technical issues
  • deliver security updates
  • support authentication
  • improve the overall customer experience

Unlike web browsers, mobile applications generally use application storage and software development kits (SDKs) rather than traditional browser cookies.

8.4 Analytics

Yousewire uses analytics technologies to better understand how customers interact with our website and mobile applications.

Analytics information helps us:

  • improve the design of our products
  • identify technical issues
  • understand customer journeys
  • evaluate new features
  • improve reliability and performance
  • measure customer engagement
  • enhance the overall user experience

Where reasonably practicable, analytics information is used in aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified form.

8.5 Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with the website.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

  • pages visited
  • session duration
  • browser type
  • device type
  • approximate geographic region
  • referral sources
  • general website usage patterns

This information helps us improve website performance, understand customer behaviour, and enhance the overall user experience.

Google Analytics does not provide Yousewire with access to your banking credentials, Wallet balances, authentication credentials, or the contents of your financial transactions.

8.6 Firebase

Our mobile applications use Firebase services to support the operation, performance, reliability, and security of the applications.

Depending on the services enabled, Firebase may assist with:

  • application performance monitoring
  • crash reporting
  • diagnostics
  • analytics
  • push notification delivery
  • application stability
  • other operational functions necessary to improve the customer experience

Firebase is used to help maintain reliable mobile applications and improve the quality of the Services.

8.7 Push Notifications

Where you enable push notifications on your device, Yousewire may send notifications relating to your Account or the Services.

Examples include:

  • transaction confirmations
  • incoming payments
  • outgoing payments
  • security alerts
  • login notifications
  • verification updates
  • compliance requests
  • service announcements
  • other important account-related information

Marketing notifications will only be sent where permitted by Applicable Law and in accordance with your notification preferences.

You may manage push notification settings through your device or application settings, although disabling certain notifications may reduce your awareness of important account activity.

8.8 Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality, security, or performance of the website.

Detailed information about managing cookies is available in our Cookie Policy.

8.9 Do Not Track

Some web browsers support "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, Yousewire does not currently respond differently to such signals.

If industry standards or applicable legal requirements evolve, we may review and update our practices accordingly.

8.10 Our Commitment

Yousewire uses cookies, analytics, and similar technologies to improve—not to exploit—your experience.

We do not use these technologies to sell your personal information or permit third parties to use your information for their own independent marketing purposes solely because you use the Platform.

Wherever reasonably practicable, we seek to minimize the information collected through these technologies while maintaining a secure, reliable, and user-friendly experience.

9. Your Privacy Rights

9.1 Our Commitment

Yousewire is committed to respecting your privacy rights and handling requests relating to your personal information fairly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

We recognize that you should have meaningful control over your personal information while also acknowledging that, as a regulated financial services provider, Yousewire must retain and process certain information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

Where applicable law grants you privacy rights, we will make reasonable efforts to assist you in exercising those rights.

9.2 Right to Access Your Personal Information

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to the personal information that Yousewire holds about you.

Where appropriate, we will provide information regarding:

  • the categories of personal information we hold
  • the purposes for which it is used
  • the categories of organizations with whom it has been shared
  • the source of the information, where applicable
  • other information required by applicable law

To protect your privacy and the security of your Account, Yousewire may require you to verify your identity before responding to an access request.

9.3 Right to Correct Your Information

You are responsible for ensuring that the information associated with your Account remains accurate and up to date.

If you believe that personal information held by Yousewire is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you may request that it be corrected.

Where appropriate, some information may also be updated directly through your Account settings.

In certain circumstances, Yousewire may request supporting documentation before making a correction.

9.4 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where Yousewire relies on your consent to process personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the consent was withdrawn.

Please note that withdrawing consent for certain processing activities may affect our ability to provide some or all of the Services.

Where processing is required by Applicable Law or is necessary to provide regulated financial services, Yousewire may continue to process certain information despite the withdrawal of consent.

9.5 Right to Request Deletion

You may request the deletion of personal information held by Yousewire where permitted by applicable law.

However, because Yousewire is a regulated financial services provider, we may be unable to delete certain information where its retention is required for purposes including:

  • compliance with Applicable Law
  • anti-money laundering obligations
  • financial crime prevention
  • regulatory reporting
  • dispute resolution
  • fraud investigations
  • enforcement of our legal rights
  • record retention requirements

Where we are unable to delete information, we will explain the reason unless prohibited by law.

9.6 Right to Challenge Accuracy

If you disagree with information held by Yousewire and a correction cannot immediately be made, you may request that the matter be reviewed.

Where appropriate, we may retain a record of your request together with any supporting information while the matter is being investigated.

9.7 Right to Marketing Choices

You may choose whether to receive marketing communications from Yousewire.

You may opt out of promotional emails, SMS messages, or other marketing communications by following the instructions provided in those communications or by contacting us.

Operational communications relating to your Account, security, transactions, compliance, or the Services cannot be opted out of while your Account remains active because they are necessary to provide the Services safely and effectively.

9.8 Automated Decision-Making

Yousewire uses automated systems to support fraud prevention, financial crime detection, transaction monitoring, identity verification, and risk management.

These systems help us identify unusual activity, protect customers, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Where an automated process identifies activity requiring additional review, the matter may be referred to appropriately authorized personnel for further assessment before a decision affecting your Account or transaction is made.

If you believe an automated decision has affected you unfairly, you may contact Yousewire to request that the decision be reviewed, where applicable and subject to legal requirements.

9.9 Exercising Your Rights

If you wish to exercise any of the privacy rights described in this Privacy Policy, you may contact us using the details below.

Privacy Officer
Yousewire Canada Inc.
Email: privacy@yousewire.com

To protect your personal information and prevent unauthorized disclosures, Yousewire may request information necessary to verify your identity before responding to your request.

We will acknowledge and respond to privacy requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.

9.10 Making a Privacy Complaint

If you have concerns about how Yousewire has handled your personal information, we encourage you to contact us first so that we have the opportunity to investigate and resolve the matter.

Privacy complaints should be directed to:

Privacy Officer
Yousewire Canada Inc.
Email: privacy@yousewire.com

If you remain dissatisfied after our review, you may have the right to refer your complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or another applicable privacy regulator.

9.11 Our Commitment

Respecting privacy is an ongoing responsibility, not simply a legal obligation.

Yousewire is committed to responding to privacy requests fairly, protecting your rights, and balancing those rights with our obligations as a regulated financial services provider.

We continuously review our privacy practices to ensure that customers remain informed, respected, and protected throughout their relationship with Yousewire.

10. Data Retention

10.1 Our Approach

Yousewire retains personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary to provide the Services, comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, protect our customers, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and operate the Platform responsibly.

The length of time we retain information depends on the nature of the information, the Services you use, the legal obligations that apply, and the purpose for which the information was collected.

When personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our record retention procedures and applicable law.

10.2 Factors We Consider

When determining how long personal information should be retained, Yousewire considers factors including:

  • applicable legal and regulatory requirements
  • anti-money laundering and financial crime obligations
  • accounting and tax requirements
  • the purpose for which the information was collected
  • the sensitivity of the information
  • the risk of harm from unauthorized disclosure
  • dispute resolution requirements
  • fraud prevention and security investigations
  • our legitimate operational needs

Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

10.3 Account Information

Information relating to your Personal or Business Account may be retained while your Account remains active and for an appropriate period after the relationship ends.

Retention after account closure enables Yousewire to:

  • comply with Applicable Law
  • respond to regulatory enquiries
  • resolve disputes
  • investigate fraud
  • enforce contractual rights
  • maintain accurate business records

Closing your Account does not automatically result in the deletion of your personal information.

10.4 Identity Verification and Business Verification Records

Records collected during identity verification (KYC) and business verification (KYB) may be retained for the period required under applicable anti-money laundering, financial services, tax, and other legal or regulatory requirements.

These records may include:

  • identification documents
  • verification results
  • biometric verification records where applicable
  • beneficial ownership information
  • business registration information
  • compliance assessments
  • related supporting documentation

10.5 Transaction Records

Financial transaction records are retained to support:

  • account history
  • customer statements
  • regulatory reporting
  • accounting obligations
  • fraud investigations
  • dispute resolution
  • compliance monitoring
  • legal requirements

Even after an Account has been closed, transaction records may continue to be retained where required by law or reasonably necessary for the purposes described above.

10.6 Communications

Yousewire may retain records of communications with customers, including customer support enquiries, compliance communications, complaints, feedback, and other correspondence.

These records help us improve our Services, maintain accurate records, investigate issues, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and protect both Yousewire and our customers.

10.7 Technical and Security Information

Technical logs, authentication records, security events, fraud monitoring records, and other operational information may be retained for periods reasonably necessary to:

  • maintain the security of the Platform
  • investigate unauthorized activity
  • detect fraud
  • support cybersecurity operations
  • troubleshoot technical issues
  • comply with applicable legal obligations

The retention period for technical information may differ from the retention period for customer account information.

10.8 Analytics Information

Information collected for analytics and performance measurement may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to understand customer behaviour, improve our Services, measure performance, and support product development.

Where reasonably practicable, analytics information is aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified to reduce the identification of individual customers.

10.9 Legal Holds

In certain circumstances, Yousewire may retain personal information for longer than its normal retention period.

This may occur where retention is reasonably necessary in connection with:

  • legal proceedings
  • regulatory investigations
  • law enforcement requests
  • fraud investigations
  • audits
  • compliance reviews
  • the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims

Information subject to a legal hold will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to satisfy the applicable legal or regulatory requirement.

10.10 Secure Disposal

When personal information is no longer required and there is no legal basis for continued retention, Yousewire will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of the information using methods appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.

The method of disposal may vary depending on the nature of the records and the systems in which they are stored.

10.11 Our Commitment

Yousewire believes that responsible data retention is an important part of protecting customer privacy.

We seek to retain personal information only for legitimate purposes, to minimize unnecessary retention, and to securely dispose of information when it is no longer required.

Our data retention practices are reviewed periodically to ensure they remain consistent with evolving legal, regulatory, operational, and security requirements.

11. Communications and Marketing

11.1 Our Approach

Communication is an essential part of providing secure and reliable financial services.

Yousewire communicates with customers for a variety of reasons, including providing the Services, protecting customer Accounts, complying with legal and regulatory obligations, responding to enquiries, and, where permitted, informing customers about new products and services.

  • contacting our Customer Support team

Changes to your preferences may take a reasonable period to become effective.

11.6 Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL)

Yousewire is committed to complying with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and other applicable laws governing electronic communications.

Where required, we will obtain the appropriate consent before sending commercial electronic messages.

You may withdraw your consent to receive commercial electronic messages at any time in accordance with applicable law.

Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect our ability to send operational, transactional, security, compliance, or legally required communications.

11.7 Push Notifications

Where you enable push notifications on your mobile device, Yousewire may use push notifications to deliver important information relating to your Account and the Services.

These notifications may include:

  • incoming and outgoing transaction alerts
  • funding confirmations
  • security notifications
  • verification updates
  • compliance requests
  • service announcements
  • other account-related information

You may manage push notification permissions through your device settings.

Please note that disabling push notifications may reduce your awareness of important activity affecting your Account.

11.8 Accuracy of Contact Information

To ensure that important communications reach you, you are responsible for keeping your contact information accurate and up to date.

Yousewire is not responsible for delays or missed communications resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated contact information provided by you.

11.9 Our Commitment

Yousewire is committed to communicating with customers in a clear, respectful, and transparent manner.

We strive to ensure that operational communications are timely and informative while giving customers appropriate control over marketing communications.

We do not send unsolicited marketing communications in circumstances where consent is required by applicable law, and we do not sell customer contact information to third parties for marketing purposes.

12. Automated Decision-Making

12.1 Our Approach

Yousewire uses automated systems to help deliver secure, reliable, and compliant financial services.

These systems support operational processes such as identity verification, fraud prevention, transaction monitoring, financial crime detection, sanctions screening, and other compliance activities.

Automated systems enable us to respond more quickly to potential risks, improve the consistency of our compliance processes, and help protect both our customers and the integrity of the Platform.

12.2 How Automated Systems Are Used

Depending on the Services you use, automated systems may assist with activities including:

  • verifying information provided during account registration
  • supporting identity and business verification
  • detecting unusual or potentially fraudulent account activity
  • monitoring transactions for compliance with applicable laws
  • identifying transactions that require additional review
  • screening customers and transactions against applicable sanctions lists
  • supporting politically exposed person (PEP) screening
  • identifying patterns that may indicate financial crime
  • protecting customer accounts from unauthorized access
  • supporting operational risk management

These systems are designed to support responsible decision-making and the safe operation of the Platform.

12.3 Human Review

Not every decision affecting your Account is made solely through automated processing.

Where appropriate, matters identified by our automated systems may be reviewed by authorized members of our Compliance, Risk, Operations, or Customer Support teams before a final decision is made.

Examples may include:

  • requests for additional identity verification
  • temporary compliance holds
  • Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)
  • source of funds or source of wealth reviews
  • account restrictions
  • transaction delays
  • other compliance-related actions

This combination of automated systems and human review helps ensure that decisions are fair, proportionate, and consistent with our legal and regulatory obligations.

12.4 Automated Monitoring

To help protect customers and comply with applicable laws, automated systems may continuously monitor account activity and transactions.

Monitoring may consider factors such as:

  • transaction values
  • transaction frequency
  • payment destinations
  • account behaviour
  • authentication events
  • device activity
  • unusual changes in account usage
  • other indicators reasonably necessary to detect fraud, financial crime, or security risks

Monitoring is conducted solely for legitimate business, security, and regulatory purposes.

12.5 Requesting a Review

If you believe that an automated process has affected your Account or a transaction unfairly, you may contact Yousewire to request that the matter be reviewed.

Where appropriate and subject to Applicable Law, an authorized member of our team will review the relevant information and determine whether additional action or clarification is required.

Certain decisions may be required by law or by our legal and regulatory obligations and therefore may not be capable of being changed, even after review.

12.6 Continuous Improvement

Yousewire regularly reviews and improves its automated systems to enhance accuracy, consistency, fairness, security, and regulatory compliance.

We seek to ensure that these systems support—not replace—appropriate human judgment in circumstances where human oversight is necessary.

12.7 Our Commitment

Yousewire believes that responsible automation can improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of financial services.

Accordingly, we are committed to using automated systems in a manner that is proportionate, transparent, and consistent with applicable laws, while ensuring that significant decisions remain subject to appropriate oversight where required.
