It outlines how rivauxdesigns.com collects and retains business and financial data in compliance with Maltese Tax Law and the EU Digital Services Act (DSA).

 

2. Data We Collect To allow you to purchase ads and to comply with legal regulations, we collect the following data points as seen on our registration forms:

  • Verification Data: As required by the Digital Services Act (DSA), we may collect documents to verify your identity as a "Trader" (e.g., Trade Register excerpts).

 

3. Payment Information We do not store your full credit card details or CVV codes. All payments are processed securely by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. Stripe acts as an independent Data Controller for your financial data.

 

4. How We Use Your Data and Legal Basis

  • Processing Orders: We use your Identity and Business Data to process your ad purchases and serve your banners. This is necessary for the Performance of our Contract.

  • Trader Verification: We verify your business details to comply with the "Know Your Business Customer" (KYBC) obligations under the EU Digital Services Act.

 

  • Fraud Prevention: We process data to prevent fraudulent payments and ban advertisers who violate our policies. This is our Legitimate Interest.

 

5. Data Retention (Strict 10-Year Rule) Unlike user data, advertiser financial data cannot be deleted immediately upon request due to tax laws.

 

  • Financial Records: We are legally required by the Malta Commissioner for Revenue to retain all invoices, VAT records, and transaction logs for a period of 10 years from the end of the year in which the transaction occurred.

 

  • Account Data: If you close your account, your login credentials and ad creative files (images) are deleted after 90 days, provided there are no outstanding payments or legal disputes.

 

6. Disclosure of Information We may disclose your business details to:

 

  • Tax Authorities: The Malta VAT Department for tax reporting.

 

  • Regulatory Bodies: The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) or Medicines Authority if your ads relate to regulated sectors.

 

  • Users (Transparency): Under the DSA, we are required to display your "Paid for by" name (your Legal Business Name) on the advertisements shown to users.

 

7. International Transfers Your payment data may be processed by Stripe, which may transfer data to the USA. These transfers are protected by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
