9      Responsibilities of Magnius

Magnius takes the position that Magnius is responsible for the data of our Merchants as referred to in the GDPR. Magnius takes this position because:

  • Magnius imposes on our merchants which personal data they have to provide;
  • Magnius must comply with its statutory obligation (including FSA and AML&FT);

Magnius is both responsible and processor for the processing of transactions and thus for the consumer. Magnius takes the position because:

As responsible:

  • Magnius determines which personal data we process for the execution of a payment;
  • Magnius processing orders processed in favor of our merchants. Magnius processes personal data and we may do so to carry out this assignment. Processing payments is a main activity of Magnius.

As a processor:

  • Magnius asks for additional personal data and we process these in order to make a payment possible, for example by using afterpay methods. These data (such as name and address information and product information) are sent by the merchant to Magnius. To be able to offer this payment solution, obtaining this information is necessary.
  • Magnius requests additional personal details such as name and address data and product information to make transaction monitoring more feasible as well as monitoring fraud.

For the cases in which Magnius is a processor, we have drawn up a data processing agreement for our merchants.

Magnius has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Among other things, the DPO is responsible for supervising the processing of personal data by Magnius, taking stock of data processing and advising on technology and security.
