Satispay Europe S.A. (“Satispay” or “we” or “us”) is a financial regulated intermediary that acts as an electronic money institution (“EMI”) authorized under the laws of Luxembourg.

At Satispay, we take the protection of personal data seriously. As a data controller, Satispay follows the applicable laws on data protection to make sure we handle personal data correctly when providing our services.

Satispay has appointed a data protection officer (“DPO”) who may help with any questions about the data processing we carry out and/or how to exercise your rights. You can reach our DPO at dpo@satispay.com.
