Data Collected

ValidPay may collect the following types of personal information: name, email address, phone number, company details, payment information, and other information required to provide access to the ValidPay platform. Where our clients use ValidPay to process supplier invoices and payments, we also process supplier and invoice information on their behalf.

How Data is Collected

We collect data through the information you provide during sign-up, while using the ValidPay platform, and through automated methods such as cookies, which track user interactions with the platform.

ValidPay collects and processes personal data to manage your account, provide access to the platform, process and record invoice approvals and payments, improve our services, and communicate with you about updates and offers.

Third-Party Data Sharing

ValidPay shares your data with trusted third-party service providers, such as hosting and accounting integration providers, only to the extent necessary to provide the services you use. We do not sell or rent your personal information to any external third parties. Data shared with third-party service providers may be governed by their own privacy policies.

Once your account is terminated, we will delete your personal data in accordance with our data retention policies, unless retention is required by law.

Data Security

ValidPay takes appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security due to the inherent risks associated with online services.
