Privacy Policy


Effective Date: January 31, 2022


Sesami Cash Management Technologies Corporation, (hereafter “Sesami,” “we,” or “us”), respects individual privacy and values the confidence of its customers, employees, consumers, business partners, and others. Sesami strives to collect, use, and disclose personal and other information in a manner consistent with applicable laws, and prides itself on upholding the highest ethical standards in its business practices. Sesami complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and for the purposes of this Policy, the Accountability principle under Article 5 [2] of GDPR, which establishes responsibility for, and demonstrating compliance with, the GDPR primarily for Data Controllers. However, Sesami undertakes to adopt this principle as a Data Processor for our Clients (the Data Controller) as well as a Data Controller for our employees.


Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how Sesami collects, uses, and shares information in connection with our website at Sesami.io and including but not limited to services listed on our website and any listed mobile applications (the “Apps”); and the emails that we send to our customers (collectively, the “Services”). It also describes users’ choices regarding use, access and correction of personal information.


What Information is Collected

Sesami Commercial Services

Sesami collects both Personal Information and Other Information when you register for or use the Services. Sesami does not collect any Sensitive Personal Information, known as Special Categories under GDPR, unless expressly directed to do so by your employer, whereby your employer would need to secure a lawful processing ground for such data. “Personal Information” is any information or set of information relating to an identified person or an identifiable person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity. For example, Personal Information includes name, address, email address, employer’s company name, job title, phone or fax number, employee ID, travel itineraries, including emergency contact information and, if requested by a client, passport numbers. “Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that reveals race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, that concerns an individual’s health or sex life, criminal proceedings, or that is designated in writing by a third party as Sensitive Personal Information.


“Other Information” is any information that is not Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, Personal Information does not include information that is anonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information.


  • For individuals residing in the European Union or in the United Kingdom, where Sesami collects Personal Information directly from you, we will inform you about the type of Personal Information collected, the purposes for which we collect and use the Personal Information, and the types of non-agent third parties to which Sesami discloses or may disclose that information, and the choices and means, if any, Sesami offer individuals for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal Information. Under these circumstances, notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when you are first asked to provide Personal Information to Sesami, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event before Sesami uses or discloses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or discloses it for the first time to a third party.


We collect Personal Information for the Sesami Commercial Services in the following circumstances:


  • You provide certain Personal Information to us when you: (a) register to use the Services, (b) order products and services from us, and (c) send email messages, submit forms, or send other information to us.


  • When you complete a profile form to obtain personalized Sesami reports, you are required to give your contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about Sesami services about which you have expressed interest. It is optional for you to provide additional Personal Information (such as health and activity information) and unique identifiers (in the case of employees), but doing so permits Sesami to provide a more report.


  • If you use our Apps, Sesami may request to collect information about the precise location of your device using GPS, WiFi, or cellular network signals from your device. Keep in mind precise location data cannot be collected unless you allow the app to use your terminal equipment location. If you would like Sesami to stop collecting precise location from your device, please follow the instructions in the section below titled “The Choices Available to Users Regarding Collection, Use, Sharing, and Correction of Personal Information” and in our Cookie Policy.


  • In the event of a complaint, we may receive Personal Information about you from other users or third parties who may communicate information to us about you in relation to that complaint.


  • We may collect Personal Information from you at other points on our Services that state that Personal Information is being collected.


We and our service providers may also collect Personal Information and Other Information when you use our website or the Services. This may include your computer or device operating system and browser type, your IP address, your Internet service provider, your domain name, your general geographic location, the website that you visited before the Site and referring URLs, the webpage visited, the content accessed, the date and time spent on the webpage and the link you used to leave the Sites.


Sesami and its partners collect this Personal Information and Other Information automatically through the use of cookies or similar technologies, such as Javascript, for many purposes, including to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the Site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.


We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific feature of the Sesami platform or our websites. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.


You can find more information about the usage of cookies and similar technologies in our Cookie Policy.
