Priceless Global Privacy Notice

Effective Date: August 6, 2024

 

Mastercard International Inc., Mastercard Europe SA and their affiliates and other entities within the Mastercard Group of companies (collectively, “Mastercard”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respect your privacy. 

 

This Global Priceless Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) applies to our processing of Personal Information in the context of Priceless solutions for which we act as a data controller (“Priceless Services”). Our Priceless solutions give eligible cardholders the opportunity to access experiences, enter prize draws and take advantage of other promotional offers and relevant content (collectively “Offers”). They include our B2C Priceless website (https://www.priceless.com) and our B2B Priceless solutions.  

 

Please note that when we process Personal Information on behalf of and under the instructions of our business customers in the context of some of our B2B Priceless solutions, we act as a data processor and the processing of your Personal Information in these contexts is not governed by this Privacy Notice. Similarly, when a merchant processes your Personal Information to provide you with a specific Offer, they are the data controllers for their processing of your Personal Information. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more information regarding the processing of your Personal Information in these contexts. 

 

This Privacy Notice describes the types of Personal Information we process in in the context of the Priceless Services, the purposes for which we collect that Personal Information, the other parties with whom we may share it, including merchants that provide Offers, and the measures we take to protect the security of the Personal Information. It also tells you about your rights and choices with respect to your Personal Information, and how you can reach us to update your contact information or answer questions you may have about our privacy practices. 

 

Children and minors (under the age of 18) are not eligible to use the Priceless Services.
