This privacy statement applies to personal information we collect about you, for example when you visit our websites or mobile applications or contact 247legals.com by phone, or when you or the party on the other side of a transaction complete transaction forms or otherwise provide personal information at agent locations or online. We want to ensure you are aware of our practices for collecting, using, protecting disclosing, and otherwise processing personal information, which is information about a person that can be used to identify that person.

What We Collect

The types of personal information we collect depends on the products or services you have requested from us. Personal information we collect can include (i) government identifiers (such as ID, passport number, or driver's license number); (ii) transaction information (such as name and other information about you and the party on the other side of your transaction, transaction number, amount, date sent, and receive data), purchase history, and 247legals.com  account information (such as account number, user name, and password); (iii) financial information such as bank account or credit card account information; (iv) contact information such as name, address, telephone number, or email address; and (v) such other personal information as we may collect with your consent or as permitted or required by law.

We collect your personal information directly from you and/or from the party on the other side of your transaction, for example, when you tell us where to send money or who should receive the money; give us your contact information, or show your government-issued ID. Generally, personal information is collected from you on transaction forms, by telephone, or at our websites or mobile applications when you request our products or services, manage your online account(s), or manage your account(s) and preferences. We may also collect information about you from third-party reference sources, vendors, and clearinghouse services as part of our verification processes or otherwise in connection with your use of our products or services.

How We Use It

We use personal information in a number of ways, including (i) for our everyday business purposes such as to process your transactions, maintain your account(s), and manage and administer our business and records, to undertake market research, to prevent fraud, abuse, and other actual and potential prohibited or illegal activities, to meet legal, regulatory, insurance, security and processing requirements, and to respond to court orders and legal investigations, or report to credit bureaus; (ii) for our marketing purposes such as to offer our or our agents' products and services to you, and to tailor offers, coupons, and incentives we believe may be of interest to you; (iii) for joint marketing with other financial companies; (iv) for our affiliates' everyday business purposes; (v) for our affiliates to market to you; (vi) for non-affiliates such as our agents to market to you; and (vii) otherwise with consent or as permitted or required by applicable law.

247legals.com may store personal information on databases in the United Kingdom or other countries for these purposes. As permitted by applicable law, we may merge personal information with public information or other information received from third-party sources to update contact information or to enhance demographic profiles. Personal information will be subject to the laws of the country in which it is located including lawful access requests by government authorities. The laws of these countries (which may include countries outside the European Economic Area) may not have similar data protection laws to the European Economic Area.

How We Disclose It

We may disclose personal information, as described above, to our affiliates and/or our agents to assist us in our business activities for the uses described in "How We Use It", and for other purposes as permitted or required by applicable law and international conventions and treaties. Disclosures permitted or required by law and international conventions and treaties may include cooperation with criminal or government investigations, fraud prevention and detection, and responses to a court order or subpoena. 247legals.com may be required to disclose your personal information to relevant national, state and local law enforcement authorities in the United Kingdom and other countries, which law enforcement authorities may further, disclose the information. If you are a receiver of a transaction, 247legals.com may also disclose your personal information to the sender.

247legals.com may disclose some or all of the personal information to service providers for the purposes of processing requested transactions or to perform business support functions on our behalf, including marketing and similar services.

The surviving company, or the acquiring company in the case of a sale of assets, would have access to personal information that would continue to be subject to this privacy statement.

Choice and Consent

247legals.com will not use, disclose or otherwise process personal information about you in ways incompatible with the ones described above without informing you and offering you a choice as provided for by applicable law.

You may withdraw your consent to our use and disclosure of personal information at any time, subject to contractual and legal restrictions.
