1. Introduction
This privacy notice sets out how we will handle your personal data when you use Revolut Ramp (“RevRamp”).
RevRamp is a service we provide to customers to buy crypto to fund wallets that are integrated with Revolut or another third party provider address specified by the user (we call this your “Third Party Partner”). Third Party Partner could be either wallet Provider, or a partner just placing RevRamp widget on their websites. Before using RevRamp, you must first agree to our Terms and Conditions.
If you hold an account with us in the Revolut app, please refer to our Customer Privacy Notice for details about how we process your personal data when you use our other products and services.
We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We will:
- always keep your personal data safe and private
- never sell your personal data
If you have any questions about your personal data, you can contact us at [email protected].
