Overview
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) sets out the practices of PayNways Inc. (“PayNways”, “we”, “us”) with respect to the handling of Personal Data in relation to the PayGlobal360 software platform (“Product”). PayGlobal360 is licensed to enterprise clients for on-premises deployment within the client’s own infrastructure.
This Policy applies solely to the operation of the PayGlobal360 Product and does not apply to the PayNways corporate website or to any PayNways cloud-hosted services.
1. Definitions
For the purposes of this Policy:
- “Client” means the legal entity that licenses and deploys PayGlobal360 within its controlled environment.
- “Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person as defined under applicable data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, DPDP Act 2023, CCPA, LGPD, etc.).
- “Processing” includes any operation performed on Personal Data such as storage, transmission, modification, or deletion.
- “Client Environment” means the on-premises infrastructure, data center, or private cloud environment owned or controlled by the Client.
2. Scope of Processing
2.1 No Data Collection by PayNways
PayGlobal360 operates entirely within the Client Environment.
PayNways does not collect, store, transmit, or otherwise process Personal Data generated by or contained within the Product, except where explicitly authorized for support purposes.
2.2 Data Processed by the Product
When operated by the Client, PayGlobal360 may process the following categories of data:
- Payment transaction details (payer/payee identifiers, account numbers, timestamps, etc.)
- Customer reference attributes embedded in payment messages
- User account information (e.g., usernames, roles, directory attributes)
- Application logs, audit logs, and operational metadata
- Configuration data, rule definitions, and processing parameters
All such data is processed solely within the Client Environment and under the Client’s exclusive control.
3. Ownership and Control of Data
3.1 Client as Data Controller
The Client acts as the Data Controller with respect to all Personal Data processed by PayGlobal360. The Client is responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable data protection laws.
3.2 PayNways as Software Provider (Not a Processor)
Because PayGlobal360 is deployed on-premises, PayNways does not act as a “Data Processor” under GDPR or equivalent laws in the normal course of product use.
PayNways does not:
- Access or extract Client data
- Receive Client data for analytics or telemetry
- Transfer any Client data outside the Client Environment
- Process any Personal Data independently

The Product:

Any data transfers initiated by the Client (e.g., regulatory reporting, external API calls) fall under the Client’s responsibility.
5. Support Access

PayNways may obtain temporary, controlled access to the Client Environment solely for the purpose of providing technical support, and only when:
- Requested explicitly by the Client
