In such cases, we reserve the right to change the provisions of these General Terms without prior notification. Each version of these General Terms will have the date of their effect stated at the top of the General Terms, so that you may track the currently applicable version of these General Terms by checking this date. We also recommend that you save a copy of the General Terms for future reference and comparison.
If you find the provisions of the changed General Terms unsuitable for you, we recommend that you cease to use the Web Interface from that point onwards.

In addition to the text and data on the NAKA Web Interface, the entire visual identity with all the visual elements is also considered legally protected property. NAKA (or the NAKA Partner, as applicable) is the copyright holder in connection with this NAKA Web Interface. As the User, you are granted a personal, temporary, non-exclusive, and non-transferable right to (i) a private or (ii) a commercial use of the NAKA Web Interface in accordance with these General Terms.

You are strictly forbidden from using any of the NAKA’s brands (including trademarks and other brand names relating to the NAKA Services) for purposes other than allowed under these General Terms before obtaining a prior written authorization by NAKA. Even if you have obtained a prior written authorization by NAKA for any type of use, you are required to include a proprietary notice (e.g., copyright notice) and other referrals to NAKA or other rightful proprietor of the brand or a part thereof. In this case as well, you are granted a personal, temporary, non-exclusive, and non-transferable right to use.

In any case we reserve (i) the right to revoke any such license in cases we deem reasonable (for instance when the content of your web interface is not aligned with our values) under the conditions included in our notification on revoking the license and (ii) other rights granted under the applicable law.
THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS: The NAKA Web Interfaces may contain links to third-party websites or other types of intellectual property rights (e.g., trademarks, logos, brand names, designs), including advertisement links (“Materials”).

In no way does the display of the third-party Materials constitute reference to actual companies, products or services or endorsement of any kind by such third parties, unless otherwise explicitly indicated otherwise.
4. USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY OF SERVICES
The technologies used to deliver the NAKA Services, including but not limited to payment infrastructure and digital platforms, are licensed from other NAKA Group companies, including the parent company, NAKA GLOBAL, or third-party providers. All of such technology partners retain ownership of the underlying systems and are responsible for maintaining the security, reliability, and compliance of their solutions.
NAKA is committed to providing secure, dependable, and uninterrupted services through a robust and reliable framework. We place a strong emphasis on the security of all information technology solutions used to deliver the NAKA Services. Therefore, NAKA requires all its contractual partners—whether they are outsourcing parties or direct service providers to NAKA's customers—to adhere to the highest security standards applicable in their respective industries, including the FinTech industry.
For example, NAKA GLOBAL implements extensive information security controls and measures. These comply with international standards: ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 27001:2022 (Information Security Management Systems), and ISO 22301:2019 (Business Continuity Management Systems), for which NAKA GLOBAL holds official certifications from the respective issuing authorities.

The NAKA Web Interfaces are accessible continuously (24 hours a day, 365 days a year), except in case of events beyond our control or for technical reasons (e.g., website maintenance), when short periods of disrupted access or functioning of the NAKA Web Interfaces can occur. Notifications on planned longer interruptions will be published on the NAKA Web Interfaces or through other communication channels ahead of time.
Please note that you use the NAKA Web Interfaces at your own risk. Neither we nor any other legal or natural person who has participated in the creation of the NAKA Web Interface is responsible for the damages and/or loss of profit that could be incurred:
Due to using inaccurate or incomplete information;
Because of an event beyond our control or an event that cannot be avoided, stopped or averted;
Due to occasional non-functioning of the NAKA Web Interface;
Due to the data acquired through online links that are published on the NAKA Web Interfaces, but are not our property.
We recommend you ensure suitable software protection measures for uninterrupted and safe data access (e.g., protection against hacking, viruses and other malware).
6. VIOLATION OF GENERAL TERMS
It is in our interest to provide you with as pleasant user experience as possible, as well as with ample useful information on any of the NAKA Web Interfaces, which can, among other things, be achieved by using the NAKA Web Interface in accordance with these General Terms. However, in the event of a violation of these General Terms and/or unauthorized use of the NAKA Web Interface, we reserve the right to act in a manner considered appropriate, e.g., by reporting the suspected illegal actions to the competent law enforcement authorities, control authorities or other authorized entities. If so required by the applicable legislation, we will disclose to the aforementioned authorities all the necessary information, including your Personal Data, e.g., names, e-mail addresses, IP addresses, search history, etc., in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Notice.
7. APPLICABLE LEGISLATION
For any questions regarding the implementation and interpretation of these General Terms, the law of the jurisdiction in which the NAKA Entity, managing and operating the NAKA Web Interface in question, is incorporated (as regulated in these General Terms), applies to the highest extent allowed under the mandatory conflict of laws rules.
Any disputes arising from the violation of these General Terms will be settled by NAKA in an amicable manner. If that is not possible, the competent court is the court with subject matter jurisdiction, unless specifically required otherwise under the mandatory rules.

7. WHO CAN USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
7.1 GENERAL
Apart from the trusted NAKA Personnel, whose position within the NAKA Group requires them to process your Personal Data (due to the fact that a particular NAKA Entity is operating and/or managing specific tasks within the NAKA Group’s ecosystem), we only share your Personal Data with those NAKA Partners (service providers) who process the data on our behalf and follow our strict instructions, as agreed in our contracts with them. We may also have to share your Personal Data with the authorized Regulatory Authorities.
7.2 OTHER ENTITIES
We never sell or otherwise trade your Personal Data, nor do we share it with unauthorized persons. Under NAKA’s internal policies, your Personal Data is treated as NAKA’s business secret and is handled as such. The NAKA Personnel processes your Personal Data in accordance with their limited authorizations, contractual obligations and our internal policies. They are legally obliged to protect your Personal Data and respect your rights at all times, under the threat of applicable legal consequences for any breach.
The entities to which we may disclose or which may come in contact with your Personal Data are:
(a). Companies within the NAKA Group: Some of the features of the NAKA Web Interface are operated by the NAKA Entities and other NAKA Group companies, which are not acting as the controller of your Personal Data (e.g., ICT security measures are operated primarily by one company).
(b). The NAKA Partners: To facilitate the use of the NAKA Web Interfaces, NAKA is using capacities of other service providers. This includes services like web hosting, traffic analysis, email providers, cloud service providers, etc. In any of these instances, NAKA concludes adequate contracts governing how and for which purposes the NAKA Partners may process your Personal Data.
Since our business operations are dynamic, it is impossible to publish a list of every single individual or entity who might see your Personal Data in a manner that would be up to date at all times. In addition, some of the information is NAKA’s business secret, which we are not allowed to disclose publicly. However, you may request a full list of the users processing your Personal Data at any time by emailing dpo@naka.com.
7.3 RELATIONSHIP WITH REGULATORY AUTHORITIES
While we will never disclose your Personal Data without being compelled to do so, there will be instances in which we will be required to share your Personal Data with the Regulatory Authorities (e.g., due to a data breach, which we must notify to the data protection authority in charge). We will only do so if (i) we deem this as necessary to comply with the applicable legislation, (ii) if the Regulatory Authorities present a legally enforceable request applicable to the NAKA Entity, which acts as the controller and/or processor of your Personal Data and we (a) deem the request as justified or (b) are forced to comply.
When dealing with the Regulatory Authorities, we will comply with their respective requests in a way that protects your privacy rights to the broadest extent possible considering the local legislation. We will only disclose the information that is absolutely necessary to comply with the Regulatory Authorities’ request or legal requirements.
8. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA TO OTHER JURISDICTIONS?
The Personal Data we collect and process is mainly stored and processed in the country where the specific NAKA Entity, acting as controller, is based. However, under some circumstances, we have to transfer some of the data outside of these countries for particular processing activities, e.g., when one of our service providers (acting as processors on our behalf) is located in a different jurisdiction.
Whenever we transfer your Personal Data to another jurisdiction, we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner which complies with the local legal requirements for personal data protection. For instance, when we transfer your Personal Data from the EU to a third country, we always ensure that (i) the country to which we transfer your Personal Data was approved by the European Commission, or (ii) the recipient of your Personal Data signed a contract based on “Model Contractual Clauses” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your Personal Data.
9. HOW WILL YOUR PERSONAL DATA BE PROTECTED?
When we process your Personal Data, we use all the necessary organizational, technical and other suitable procedures and measures to protect it and prevent unauthorized data destruction, modification, loss or any unauthorized processing.
The NAKA Group’s parent company (NAKA GLOBAL) holds several ISO certifications, including ISO 27001: Information Security Management System and ISO 22301: Business Continuity Management Systems. The same high standards from these international certifications and NAKA GLOBAL’s internal rules are applied across all other NAKA Entities. This ensures that the same robust level of personal data protection and security is used throughout the entire NAKA Group.
Specifically, these measures include:
Defining internal data protection rules, which oblige all NAKA Personnel;
Providing regular training to all NAKA Personnel on how to process Personal Data safely and in compliance with internal rules;
Implementing other standard measures (like a clean desk policy, regular password changes, and using 2-step verification wherever possible);
Implementing internal controls for all processing activities;
Regularly monitoring our IT and other assets;
Conducting regular internal and external reviews.
We also implement other measures, such as:
Minimalizing the Personal Data we collect;
Using pseudonymization (hiding direct identifiers) where possible;
Ensuring transparency;
Continuously upgrading our safety measures.
The NAKA Group regularly invests in various safety features for both our physical premises (like regular checks for alarms) and our IT systems (like state-of-the-art monitoring software), to ensure we maintain a strong and wide scope of security measures.
10. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
The period of keeping your Personal Data depends on the basis and individual purpose of personal data processing (i.e., why and for what purpose we collected your Personal Data ). We only keep your Personal Data for as long as this is (i) legally required (e.g., due to the AML/CTF Legislation), (ii) necessary to achieve the purpose for which the Personal Data has been collected or processed and/or (iii) necessary to initiate/implement/finalize any legal proceedings in relation to you, in the scope needed to implement the legal proceedings (e.g., for evidence or defense purposes in case of a possibility of legal claims).
Once the original purpose is achieved or any legal proceedings are finished, we will only keep the data that we are legally obliged to keep (if any). The rest of the Personal Data will be erased (to the extent this is technically possible) or blocked and/or anonymized for use, unless otherwise is legally required for certain types of data (e.g., where a permanent record is legally required).
As a general rule, most of the Personal Data is kept for a period of five years from when it is collected, with several exceptions:
If you revoke consent: The processing of Personal Data based on your consent will cease after you revoke your consent and there is no other legally recognized reason for us to continue to process it (e.g., an ongoing legal claim or proceedings and your Personal Data is necessary to defend/pursue such claim).
The AML/CTF Legislation: Personal Data relating to AML/CTF legislation is as a rule processed for a period of 10 years after the last transaction/termination of the legal relationship.
Legal proceedings: Any data needed to finalize a legal proceeding will be kept until the proceedings are concluded with a final effect, even if the general five-year deadline has already passed.
Any Personal Data we process for direct marketing (like sending you offers and newsletters) is kept until you withdraw your consent or, in any case, for a maximum period of five years from the date we obtained your consent. After that time, we will ask for your permission again if we still want to send you marketing communications.
11. EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS
You can always request to exercise the following rights relating to your Personal Data:
Right to Withdraw the Consent: If we’re relying on your consent as the legal ground for processing your Personal Data, you may withdraw your consent at any time. However, please take into account that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place based on your consent for the period prior to the withdrawal.
Right to File a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority: You have a right to always file a complaint with the Regulatory Authority monitoring the data protection requirements in the jurisdiction of the controller’s incorporation. While you are not legally required to, we would appreciate it if you would inform us before filing any claim, as we may be able to resolve the matter to mutual satisfaction on our own. In addition, we would appreciate it if you would inform us of the lodged claim so we can properly review and respond to the matter.

Right to Access: You can always contact us to confirm if we are processing any of your Personal Data, and if so, to provide you a copy of the Personal Data undergoing processing. You may also request information on: (i) the purpose for processing and the source of Personal Data, if you haven’t provided them to us, (ii) the categories of Personal Data we process, (iii) the users/recipients or categories of users/recipient to whom the Personal Data have been or will be shared, in particular users/recipients in third countries or international organisations, (iv) the planned duration of storage, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period, (v) your rights in relation to the processing (especially the rights from this section), (vi) the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, (vii) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and (vii) whether the Personal Data are transferred outside of the controller’s jurisdiction and what safeguards will be employed during the transfer.
Right to Correction or Rectification: You may also request that we - without undue delay - rectify any of your Personal Data that is inaccurate and/or incomplete.
Right to Erasure: You have a right to request that we erase your Personal Data without undue delay, in particular if your Personal Data are no longer necessary to achieve the purposes for we were processing them, if you have withdrawn your consent and there is no other legal ground for the processing or if we’ve been processing your Personal Data unlawfully. You may request us to erase your Personal Data also if we have no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing for the purposes of direct marketing. We will erase your Personal Data also if we have to comply with a legal obligation to which we’re subject. In general, we do not transact with individuals, who are considered children, but if this nevertheless happens, we will fully adhere to any requests to erase the data of children for which no other legal ground for the processing exists.
Right to Restriction of Processing: In certain cases, you may also request that we restrict processing of your Personal Data. This may happen when: (i) you are challenging the accuracy of your Personal Data; (ii) the processing is unlawful, but you do not wish us to erase your Personal Data, just not to process them; (iii) we no longer need your Personal Data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; (iv) you have objected to processing and we’re still verifying if our legitimate interests override yours.
Right to Object: In particular situations you may object to processing of your Personal Data if the legal grounds for the processing stem from our legitimate interests (including profiling). To continue to process your Personal Data, we will have to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or that we need them for initiation, exercise or defence of legal claims. You may also object to processing of your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, such as sending offers and newsletters (including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing).
Right to Data Portability: Under certain circumstances, you also have a right to data portability, as defined under the applicable legislation. The enforcement of this right depends on the technical capacities and internal policies of individual controllers. For further information about this right and whether it applies to your situation, you may contact us at dpo@naka.com.
We will try to fulfill your requests within one month of receiving them. If the request is complex, we might need up to an additional two months, but we will let you know within the first month.
If your request affects how you use the NAKA Web Interface or the NAKA Services, we will let you know.

Addendum: Cookie Policy
1. BASICS
This Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy”) is in addition to the Notice and together with it represents a comprehensive framework for Personal Data processing in the NAKA Group. Any capitalized terms not defined in this Cookies Policy, have the same meaning as defined in the Notice.
The Cookie Policy refers specifically to processing of information and your Personal Data obtained through cookies and other similar technologies used on the NAKA Websites, in the NAKA Mobile Apps or other Web Interfaces used by the NAKA Group, including the emails sent by us. While not all information we obtain through cookies can be categorized as the Personal Data when observed individually and in isolation, in connection with other data we collect, they may be categorized as the Personal Data under certain legislations (e.g., GDPR).
2. WHO IS THE CONTROLLER OF PERSONAL DATA OBTAINED THROUGH COOKIES?
The controller of your Personal Data obtained through cookies in line with this Cookie Policy is the NAKA Entity, which operates the specific NAKA Web Interface that you’re accessing with your device. For further details please see the Notice, section 2. “WHO ACTS AS A CONTROLLER OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA?”.
3. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT IS THEIR PURPOSE?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website or other web interface (e.g., a mobile app). Usually they contain the name of the server from which the cookie was sent, the cookie’s expiration time and a randomly generated unique number, which serves as a cookie value.
A cookie itself does not contain or collect information. However, when a server reads the cookie together with your web browser, it helps the website provide a better, more user-friendly service, e.g., to remember your username and password for your next visit. Cookies are not harmful for the device and are always set to expire after a certain amount of time.
The main purpose of cookies is to make the website work better and to improve your experience while viewing it. Cookies make the interaction between you and a website faster and easier, saving you time and making your visit more efficient.
In general, there are two types of cookies: (i) essential and (ii) non-essential cookies:
Essential cookies are required for a basic web service (e.g., just browsing a website) to function properly. You cannot opt out of these, as the website won't work without them.
Non-essential cookies are not necessary for the provision of a particular web service (e.g., browsing a website), but merely serve to enhance your user experience or help the website operator gain insight into the functionalities of the service it offers through the website. You can choose not to allow these to be saved on your device.
Cookies can also be categorized as (i) internal (“first party”): set and used directly by us, or (ii) external (“third party”): set and used by third parties, such as service providers like Google Inc.
4. WHICH COOKIES DO WE USE?
NAKA uses both essential and non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies include: (i) marketing cookies, (ii) analytics cookies and (iii) preference cookies.
We use cookies to determine how you navigate the NAKA Websites, what content you are interested in, and how long your visits last. This information allows us to tailor the content of the NAKA Websites to better suit your needs.
The data collected through cookies is used exclusively for statistical purposes and for collecting demographic data and visitor interests (but in a way that cannot reveal your identity), identifying server problems and for editing the NAKA Website.
Some cookies we use are temporary (also known as session cookies), meaning they are deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies are saved on your device for a certain time even after you have left our Website (the persistent cookies). We use temporary cookies to measure the number of visitors and check our content's effectiveness. Persistent cookies allow us to save your contact information for subsequent visits so our Website content adjusts to your device. We also use saved cookies originating from other sites like Google, Facebook, X, etc.

Please remember that if you opt out, some features that depend on these cookies (or the information they convey) may not work.
Please also note that once external cookies are downloaded to your device, we are not able to control them. To delete them, you need to manage your browser settings yourself.

5. GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We also use the Google Analytics web service by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics is a web analysis service providing information on your behaviour on our Website, which helps us to create a better user experience for you. Data related to your use of our Website (e.g., your IP address, browser type, language settings, operating system, etc.) collected by Google will be transferred to Google’s server in the United States of America, where this data will be stored and analysed. The relevant data in anonymized form will then be sent to us. Google guarantees adequate data protection standards because it complies with the "Model Contractual Clauses" approved by the European Commission, which legally require them to protect your personal information.
You may withdraw your consent to the use of web analysis at any time by downloading Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can find more information about the service in the Google Analytics terms and conditions, its security and privacy principles, and Google's general privacy policy.
