Who we are
NALA Inc., a Delaware-incorporated fintech company providing cross-border payment and local currency wallet services. We are the data controller for your personal data.
What we collect
Identity data, account and transaction data, authentication and KYC data, device and usage data. Where biometric data is processed (e.g. facial recognition), this is disclosed separately and your explicit consent obtained.
Why we collect it
To provide your LCY wallet account and process your transactions; meet KYC/AML legal obligations; prevent fraud; improve the service; and communicate with you.

Who we share it with
Licensed partners (named in the NALA Partner Schedule); regulated service providers under written DPAs; regulatory/law enforcement authorities when legally required. We do not sell your data.
International transfers
Your data may be transferred internationally. We use SCCs, the UK IDTA, or other approved safeguards. Details available from dpo@nala.money.

KYC/AML and account data: minimum 5 years. Transaction records: minimum 5 years. Device data: 12 months. Support data: 2 years.
