Last updated: May 6, 2026
v0.1 — pending review by Jamaica-qualified counsel. A signable PDF version of this DPA is available on request from legal@fyber.one. This page is the summary; the PDF is the binding instrument.
1. Who this is for
Merchants whose customers include EU, UK, or Jamaica residents. In practice, this is almost every Fyber merchant.
2. Roles
- Merchant — data controller (you decide what to collect and why).
- Fyber — data processor for payment processing, joint controller for fraud network data shared across merchants.
3. Categories of data processed
- Tokenised card data — full PAN never stored, only BIN, last 4, brand, fingerprint
- Cardholder name, email, billing/shipping address (where the merchant collects them)
- IP address, device fingerprint (FraudGate)
- Transaction amount and currency, timestamps, status
4. Purposes of processing
- Payment authorisation, capture, settlement, refunds, chargebacks
- Fraud prevention and FraudGate AI scoring
- Compliance — AML, sanctions screening, tax reporting
- Platform operation, debugging, security
- Audit logging
5. Data subject rights
Where the Merchant is the controller, end customers exercise their rights against the Merchant. The Merchant routes deletion / access / rectification requests to Fyber via privacy@fyber.one. SLA: we respond within 30 days, sooner where regulator-mandated.
6. International transfers
Some processing occurs in the US (Anthropic, Google, Fingerprint Pro) and the EU (Sentry, IP geolocation provider). Lawful bases:
- EU residents: Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) under GDPR Art. 46(2)(c).
- Jamaican residents: cross-border transfer permitted under JDPA 2020 §27 with adequate-protection assurances.
7. Sub-processors
Listed publicly at Sub-processors. We provide 30 days' notice before adding or replacing any sub-processor.
8. Security measures
- TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest
- HMAC-SHA256 card fingerprinting (PCI DSS 4.0 §3.5.1.3)
- Role-based access control on all dashboards
- Immutable audit logging with 7-year retention
- Annual penetration testing
- Documented incident response runbook
9. Audit rights
Merchants may request our latest SOC 2 report (when available), PCI Attestation of Compliance, and penetration test summaries under NDA. Email trust@fyber.one.
10. Data retention
- Payments: 7 years (regulatory minimum).
- Audit logs: 90 days hot storage, 7 years cold.
- Cardholder identifiers: until token revoked or 13 months after last use, whichever is sooner.
- KYC documents: 7 years after account closure.
11. Breach notification
Fyber notifies the Merchant within 72 hours of confirming a personal data breach affecting their data, with: nature of the breach, categories and approximate number of records, likely consequences, and remediation steps.
12. Termination
On termination of the Merchant's account, we provide a 30-day data export window, then perform secure deletion of merchant-controlled personal data — except records we are required to retain for regulatory or audit reasons (typically 7 years for transaction data).
