Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
1. Data Controller
The data controller for personal data processed through SoundBip is:
Mark Flynn trading as YesAllOfUs
Guernsey, Channel Islands
support@soundbip.com
SoundBip is payment software — a technology provider, not a financial services company. We process point-of-sale transaction data only. We do not perform identity verification (KYC) or business verification (KYB) and therefore do not hold customer identity documents. Identity verification is the responsibility of the regulated exchanges (such as Bitstamp, Kraken, or Gemini) where users acquire RLUSD.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide:
- Name and email address (from social login via Web3Auth)
- Profile image (from social login provider, if available)
- Email address for receipt delivery (if provided)
Information generated through use:
- Wallet addresses (public XRP Ledger addresses)
- Transaction history (amounts, timestamps, counterparty wallet addresses)
- Device identifiers and session data
- NFC card identifiers (if tap-to-pay is enabled)
- Bluetooth Low Energy device identifiers (if BIP contactless payment is used)
- Guardian recovery contacts (wallet addresses of nominated guardians, if configured)
Information collected from vendors:
- Store business details (store name, location, product catalogue)
- Staff names and PINs (for staff management and POS access)
Information we do not collect:
- Private keys or wallet seeds (never stored or transmitted)
- Government-issued identity documents
- Bank account or card details
- Tax identification numbers
3. Lawful Basis for Processing
Under the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017, we process your personal data on the following lawful bases:
- Contract: Processing necessary to provide the SoundBip service to you, including transaction processing, receipt delivery, and account management.
- Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for fraud prevention, security monitoring, service improvement, and platform integrity. We have assessed that these interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
- Legal obligation: Processing necessary to comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests from authorities, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
- Consent: Where we send optional communications such as product updates, we rely on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
4. How We Use Your Data
- Facilitate RLUSD payment transactions via the XRP Ledger
- Generate and deliver transaction receipts
- Manage your account and wallet connections
- Track and distribute affiliate commissions
- Prevent fraud and monitor for suspicious activity
- Respond to your support enquiries
- Comply with applicable legal requirements
5. Blockchain Transparency
Transactions on the XRP Ledger are public by design. Your wallet address and transaction history (amounts, timestamps, counterparty addresses) are permanently visible on the blockchain. SoundBip does not control and cannot delete on-chain data. No personally identifiable information (such as your name or email) is stored on-chain — wallet addresses are pseudonymous.
6. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored using industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and encryption at rest. Private keys are managed via Web3Auth's distributed key management system and are never stored on SoundBip servers. Local preferences are stored on your device using standard secure storage.
7. Third-Party Services and International Transfers
We use the following third-party services, some of which involve the transfer of data outside Guernsey:
Web3Auth (Torus Labs)
Non-custodial wallet authentication · Singapore/India
Google Firebase
Database hosting and real-time data storage · United States
XRP Ledger
Public blockchain for payment settlement · Global (decentralised)
Social Login Providers (Google, Apple, X)
Account authentication · United States
SumUp
Optional card payment processing (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay) · United Kingdom/EU
Cloudflare
CDN, security, and bot protection · Global
These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your data. Where data is transferred outside Guernsey, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:
- United States (Firebase/Google, Social Login Providers): Transfers are protected under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), to which Google LLC and Apple Inc. are certified. Guernsey holds EU adequacy status under the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017.
- Singapore/India (Web3Auth / Torus Labs): Transfers are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) incorporated into Web3Auth's data processing agreements.
- United Kingdom/EU (SumUp): Covered by Guernsey's EU adequacy decision, which also applies to UK transfers under the UK-Guernsey data sharing arrangements.
- Global (XRP Ledger, Cloudflare): Blockchain data is public by design and not considered a transfer of personal data. Cloudflare operates under SCCs and is certified under the EU-US DPF.
8. Data Retention
After account deletion, we remove your personal data from our servers within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or where data exists on the public blockchain.
9. Your Rights
Under the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017, you have the following rights:
- Right of access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal retention requirements). Note that blockchain records are permanent and cannot be deleted.
- Right to data portability: Receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to restrict processing: Request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw that consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@soundbip.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
10. Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will:
- Notify the Office of the Data Protection Authority (ODPA) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017.
- Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, notify affected individuals without undue delay, providing details of the breach, its likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to address it.
- Maintain an internal register of all data breaches, including those not meeting the reporting threshold, for audit purposes.
11. Automated Decision-Making
SoundBip does not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on users. Transaction processing is automated in the sense that payments are executed on the XRP Ledger as instructed, but no decisions about your access to the service, creditworthiness, or eligibility are made by automated means.
12. Children's Privacy
SoundBip is not intended for use by anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the platform or email where possible. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
14. Complaints
If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Authority (ODPA):
Office of the Data Protection Authority
St Martin's House, Le Bordage, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 1BR
