                  card service provider.

                  obtain a user’s banking details.

                  Individual Right to Privacy


                  We all know that technology has become an integral part of our life. That’s why the definition
                  of ”privacy“ has also changed. The Right to Privacy may be defined as the right of individuals
                  or groups of people to know and decide when, how, and to what extent their information may
                  be shared with others. Privacy issues arise when information that is collected for one specific
                  purpose is shared with other companies without informing the authorised owner.
