Automated decision making
In performing some of the functions above, we rely on technology that makes automatic decisions based on the criteria we determine to be relevant and the information we collect about you or a particular transaction. These include credit and fraud checks. We routinely test our software to improve the accuracy of these decisions and to prevent unintended bias. These decisions can have significant effects for you, such as:
- Preventing access to our services, where we determine there is a high likelihood that providing the service to you would cause us to violate our regulatory requirements.
- Cancelling transactions, where we determine there is a high likelihood that a transaction is fraudulent (for example, because the payment is made from a location that does not correspond to our records for that end-customer) or the payer does not have sufficient funds to cover the expense.
- Cancelling the service, where we determine that the service is being used in violation of our terms. For example, we automatically analyse your transactions to assess whether any of the activities you conduct appear on our list of restricted activities.
