Revolut People Privacy Notice

1. Introduction

We’re committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

We will:

  • always keep your personal data safe and private
  • never sell your personal data
  • allow you to manage your marketing choices at any time

This privacy notice sets out how we will handle your personal data when you use our website, our services or otherwise interact with us.

This notice only applies to personal data. It does not apply to company information.

If you are an employee of a company that has a Revolut People account, and your employer has invited you to use Revolut People, then your employer is the ‘controller’ of your personal data and we act as a ‘data processor’. This means that your employer is primarily responsible for your personal data under data protection laws. As such, please contact your employer if you have any questions about how your personal data is processed by Revolut People on its behalf.


2. About us

Revolut Ltd. (“we”, “us” or “our”) is the company responsible for collecting, and using, your data.

If you have concerns about how we use your personal data, you can contact us at [email protected].

You may provide us with personal data when you:

  • fill in any forms
  • correspond with us
  • respond to any of our surveys
  • open a Revolut People account
  • use our products or services

Information we collect directly

We will collect the following information:

  • your name
  • your email address
  • your country
  • your phone number

Information we obtain from third parties

We may also collect your personal data through third-party services and organisations. For example, if you use our website or services through a third-party application or a third-party login service, we may collect information about you from that third party that you have made available via your privacy settings.

Moreover, if you choose to integrate your Revolut People account with third-party services and organisations (including, but not limited to Google Workspace, Microsoft etc)., we will obtain certain information from such third-party services and organisations. Depending on the specific features you use, we may obtain information about your or your users’ emails (such as email addresses, names and surnames) in order to sync emails and email threads as well to send emails directly from Revolut People. If you choose an integration with third-party calendar services, we will store your userID for that calendar and the authorization token to give you the ability to store, view and edit data from your calendars, and autocomplete contacts when you create events.

Revolut People are obtaining the above-mentioned information through third party integrations so we could auto-complete contact data to set up your organisational structure and send invites.

Revolut People will process this data independently from third-party services and organisations and will not use such data for any other purpose than described above.

While we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data will be kept secure from unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee it will be secure during transmission by you to our website or other services. We use HTTPS (HTTP Secure), where the communication protocol is encrypted through Transport Layer Security for secure communication over networks, for all our web services.
