Privacy Policy

V1.0 - 12 March 2024

  1. Introduction

Data protection is the fair and proper use of information about people. At Shuffle we want you to trust us and that starts with you trusting us to look after your data responsibly. We take your data seriously and as a minimum will comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This data privacy notice applies to data collection on the Shuffle app, the www.shuffle.finance website or collected through a link to the website (e.g. Facebook, Google Ads, LinkedIn). This notice also sets out who we are, the information we collect, how we use it, our legal basis for doing so, sharing, storage, processing and security of your data, how long we keep data, your rights, automation and profiling, contacting Shuffle, cookies, links and other technologies. If you have any questions, we're happy to chat, so please ask.

  1. Who are we?

The Data Controller is Shuffle Finance Limited trading as Shuffle, registered in England at Mainyard Studios, 90-94 Wallis Road, London, England, E9 5LN with company number 14928295. When we refer to the Shuffle app, this is a reference to the Shuffle Rewards app, which is available on the Apple Store and associated website with the home page at www.shuffle.finance.

The law does not require Shuffle to appoint a Data Protection Officer, but you can contact us at the above address or via email help@shuffle.finance

  1. Information we collect about you.

4.1 Information we receive from other sources.

When using our Services, we will be in contact with third parties who may provide us with certain information about you in order to enable your use of the Services.
If when using our Services you input any personal data of a third party, you must have obtained clear permission from the individuals whose data you provide us with before sharing that data with us.
For the avoidance of any doubt, any reference in this privacy policy to your data shall include data about other individuals that you have provided us with.

  1. What legal basis do we have for processing your personal data?

Legal obligation

Mandatory Information

As part of your Account Information, when we process your banking transactions we may process 'special categories of personal data'. For example, if you have a payment for a membership to a particular political party, this could reveal your political beliefs. Other banking transactions you have made could contain data about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, as well as health data or data concerning your sex life or sexual orientation. We will only use this data in strict accordance with the law and where you have made such data available to us and we will never use it for any other purpose (for example profiling or tailoring of our service).

  1. Our legal basis for using your personal data

We consider the legal bases for using your personal data as set out in this Privacy Policy are as follows:

6.1. Contractual performance

If you download our app and want us to deliver you our services as outlined in our Terms, we can only perform these services if we can process your personal data for this purpose. Therefore, most of our processing of your personal data is necessary to perform the contract we have in place with you.

Please be aware that if you do not want us to process your personal data for most of the purposes set out above, then we cannot deliver our services to you through the Shuffle app. Without the use of your data there is no benefit to the Shuffle app and so if you don’t wish your personal data to be processed in this way, then you shouldn’t use the Shuffle app.

6.2. Legal obligations

We will also process your personal data where we are under a legal obligation to do so to. For example, to:  
- Prevent and detect fraud, money laundering, other crime, and security issues.
- Comply with laws and regulations, as well as any sector-specific mandatory guidelines and regulations.

6.3. Legitimate interest

Where neither 1. nor 2. apply, we use your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest, or the legitimate interests of others. Our legitimate interests are to:
- understand our user demographic, preferences and behaviours so we can improve the relevance of Shuffle to individual customers;
- track the use of the Shuffle app and website and identify areas where we can improve performance or functionality (business and technical);
- keep going as a business and continue to provide a service, which means we may provide aggregated market research services, from which all personal data is removed, to other businesses in return for revenue;
- to help us grow and develop our business and help our customers with the account opening process;
- operate our website and app generally;
- carry out marketing, market research and business development;
- provide services to our customers;
- invest in and roll out new services to benefit our existing customers and to attract new customers;
- and for business purposes.

6.4. Consent

If we rely on your consent for us to use your personal data in a particular way, but you later change your mind, you may withdraw your consent by contacting us at help@shuffle.finance and we will stop doing so. However, if you withdraw your consent, this may impact the ability for us to be able to provide our app and associated services to you.

  1. When do we share personal data?

We will always treat personal data confidentially but sometimes we need to share it to deliver our service to you. We might disclose or share it with third parties which supply services to us or which process information on our behalf, for example, to provide the Shuffle email updates or when we personalise our market research questionnaires.

We manage our email content and lists using third-party processors called Customer.io, Intercom and Airtable and we use Tally for market research surveys. We reserve the right to change suppliers and not seek new consent. We only work with third parties that take their data protection obligations seriously and satisfy our requirements and promise to you. For example, third parties that are regulated by UK or EU data protection law or meet international data standards. We will not sell your data. When we share data with third parties it is only to provide the service that you have consented to. Except in the situations required by law or other regulation, Shuffle will not pass, disclose, rent or sell your personal information (other than any personal information which is already publicly available) to any third party without your prior written consent.

  1. How does Shuffle work with partners and advisors?

Shuffle may give you the opportunity to obtain rewards from a third party such as a restaurant or bar. This may be an existing partner or one that has recently partnered with Shuffle. Shuffle will be explicit what information will be shared, and you will be invited to give permission for that third party to have the access that you are comfortable with.

  1. Where do we store and process personal data?

When we share your information with third parties located outside of the UK which process information on our behalf (for example, email update services) we ensure that they adhere to minimum standards. This is supported by contractual clauses or data transfer agreements. For example, if we transfer data outside the UK or the European Economic Area, we use data processor suppliers that have subscribed to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and ensure that data governance is controlled by contractual clauses or data transfer agreements. These third parties may have incidental access to your information, but we will ensure that they keep your information secure and do not use it for their own purposes. We have ensured and will continue to ensure that all the services we use are compliant with applicable laws.

  1. How do we secure personal data?

Your data is stored using trusted third-party specialist providers. Your data is protected by a password login that is only shared with those that need the data to provide our service and the data is backed up using secure servers.

  1. How long do we keep your personal data for?

We will keep your personal data for as long as you subscribe to the Shuffle app or the Shuffle newsletter. We will clean the list at least twice a year to permanently remove all email addresses that have unsubscribed over the last six months. We will keep anonymised market research and usage data for as long as it is useful to inform the product design and features and marketing of the Shuffle app and always subject to the requirements of UK law or contractual obligations.

  1. Your rights in relation to personal data

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2017/676, you have various rights in relation to your personal data. All of these rights can be exercised by contacting us at help@shuffle.finance.

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

12.1. Right to Rectification:

We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that your personal information is accurate. In order to assist us with this, you should notify us of any changes to the personal information that you have provided to us by sending us a request to rectify your personal data where you believe the personal data we have is inaccurate or incomplete.

12.2. Right to erasure / ‘Right to be forgotten’

Asking us to delete all of your personal data will result in Shuffle deleting your personal data without undue delay (unless there is a legitimate and legal reason why Shuffle is unable to delete certain of your personal data, in which case we will inform you of this in writing).

12.3. Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to ask us to stop processing your personal data at any time.

12.4. Right to data portability

You have the right to request that Shuffle provides you with a copy of all of your personal data and to transmit your personal data to another data controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, where it is technically feasible for us to do so.

12.5. Right to complain

You have the right to lodge a complaint to a supervisory authority such as the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK (see www.ico.org.uk). Although we encourage our customers to engage with us in the event they have any concerns or complaints.

12.6. Right to object to discussions based solely on automated processing

You have the right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significant effects and to obtain human intervention, to express your point of view or contest the decision.

Shuffle will not ordinarily charge you in respect of any requests we receive to exercise any of your rights detailed above; however, if you make excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded requests, we may charge you an administration fee in order to process such requests or refuse to act on such requests. Where we are required to provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing this will be free of charge; however, any further copies requested may be subject to reasonable fees based on administrative costs.

Asking us to stop processing your personal data or deleting your personal data will likely mean that you are no longer able to use Shuffle Services, or at least those aspects of the Services which require the processing of the types of personal data you have asked us to delete, which may result in you no longer being able to use the Services.

  1. Aggregation of personal data

Shuffle also makes use of anonymised data for the purposes of improving the Shuffle app and ensuring that it is relevant to users. This includes the use of aggregated personal data from a user cannot be identified

  1. Where we store or send your data

We may store the data we collect from you outside the UK, or transfer it to organisations outside the UK. When we do this, we make sure that your data is protected and that:
‍- The Information Commissioner (ICO) has deemed the country or organisation to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; or
- We've agreed specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

  1. How to contact us

If you have questions or concerns about our privacy practices, your personal information, or if you wish to file a complaint you can contact us at the above address or by email at help@shuffle.finance

  1. Linking to other websites / third-party content

Where we link to external sites and resources from our website this does not constitute endorsement and Shuffle takes no responsibility for any linked website

  1. Change to this policy

Any changes we make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page, and where appropriate, notified to you by email or notifications via the App. We therefore encourage you to review it from time to time to stay informed of how we are processing your information.Data protection is the fair and proper use of information about people. At Shuffle we want you to trust us and that starts with you trusting us to look after your data responsibly. We take your data seriously and as a minimum will comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
