Data Processing Disclosure Requirements - Overarching Principles
1. Customers are expected to make full disclosure in their terms and conditions/privacy policy that end user data is being shared with 3rd parties to verify identities and detect/protect against fraud. It is strongly recommended that specific reference is made to the fact that 3rd parties include Mobile Network Operators
2. Where Legitimate Interest (GDPR) is used as the legal basis for processing customers must be able to confirm that a balance test has been conducted to make this determination
Specific Requirements
In certain countries the Mobile Network Operators (MNO) require the customer to obtain user authorisation on their behalf by including specific text in the customer's terms and conditions/privacy policy. This is purely in relation to the MNOs processing activities in order to generate identity verification results. Once we receive your request the onboarding team will contact you with the specific details for your submission.
