1. Introduction
Hexacard’s corporate card and spend management services are intended for use by business customers, but we may process information about you when providing our services and operating our business. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) provides a comprehensive description of how Hexacard collects, uses, and discloses information about you (“Personal Information”), as well as your rights and choices regarding such Personal Information. For purposes of this Policy, “Hexacard”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refers to Hexacard Business Corporation and its affiliates, including Hexacard Payments Corporation and Hexacard Financing Corporation, and “you” or “your” refers to the individual interacting with us.
Some regions provide additional rights by law. For region-specific terms, please see the following sections below:
- “Additional Disclosures for Nevada Residents”
- “Additional Disclosures for California Residents”
- “Additional Disclosures for Virginia Residents”
- “Additional Disclosures for Data Subjects in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and United Kingdom”
- “Additional Disclosures for Individuals Located in Canada”
For our contact details, please visit the “Contact Us” section below.
2. Applicability of this Policy
This Policy applies to (a) our corporate card and spend management services, including the associated technology we provide for access and use of those services (e.g., app.hexacard.me and our mobile applications) (the “Services”), (b) www.hexacard.me (the “Website”), and (c) our emails, advertisements and any other location, online or offline, where you interact with our business (e.g., conferences or third party social media and networking sites) (collectively, with the Services and Website, the “Business”).
Data protection laws distinguish between entities that control the purposes and means of processing information and entities that process information on behalf of other entities. The Hexacard Platform Agreement or another written agreement (the “Agreement”), along with the terms and conditions of our financial institution partners, governs our provision of Services to a business customer (a “Company”). When Hexacard processes Personal Information on behalf of a Company to provide contracted Services, we do so in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Customer’s instructions, not this Policy. If you wish to exercise your rights regarding Personal Information we are processing on behalf of a Company, you should contact the applicable Company for assistance, and Hexacard may forward communications we receive from you to the Company for resolution. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of our business customers, which may differ from those in our Policy.
Moreover, this Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or services that are used in connection with our Services, or any other products, services or accounts provided by other entities under their own terms of service and privacy policy (collectively, “Third-Party Services”). For example, a Company may connect, directly or through another application, accounting systems, e-mail services, human resources information systems, bank accounts held at depository institutions, rideshare applications, e-commerce platforms, and other products and services to its Services account (“Hexacard Account”). These Third-Party Services help us provide your business with an integrated spend management solution but are not part of our Services and are provided by independent third parties under their policies and terms.
If you do not agree with this Policy, then do not access or use the Services, Website or any other aspect of our Business.
3. Information Hexacard Processes
Hexacard will process information continuously through the operation of our Services and Websites, and through other interactions with our Business, as described in the Agreement. If you provide us with information about another individual, by acknowledging or agreeing to this Policy, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to do so and have delivered any required notices and obtained all necessary rights and consents to provide such information to us for processing in accordance with this Policy. If you believe information has been provided to us improperly, please notify us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section below.
A. Information Provided to Hexacard
We receive information when you submit it to our Business:
- Contact Information, including your first name, last name, email address, phone number, employer, job title and address.

- Content, including any documentation, files or information you provide, which may include information about you or your business.
- Third-Party Information, including information you provide about any co-workers, contractors, vendors or potential referrals, such as their Contact Information.
- Job Applicant Data, including your employment and education history, transcripts, writing samples, and references as necessary to consider your job application for open positions.
The Services are intended for use by business customers and their employees and other authorized users (“Authorized Users”). If you or someone at your Company begins the process of applying for a Hexacard Account, we may receive information about you, your Company, and individuals associated with your Company. We may collect: (1) your Contact Information; (2) Identifying Data of Company owners, control persons and other relevant Company personnel, such as their date of birth, residential address, social security number and driver’s license, passport or other government-issued identification, and any information captured on such identification or through our identification verification process; and (3) other Company information requested by or provided to us. This information is needed to verify the identity of the customer wishing to use the Services, comply with legal and regulatory obligations applicable to us and our financial institution partners, determine the availability of Services offerings, and maintain your Hexacard Account.
In connection with providing Services, we receive additional information submitted by, on behalf of and relating to a Company and its Authorized Users, such as:
- Authorized User Data, including your Contact Information, login credentials, and other information used by your Company to invite and manage Authorized Users.
- Transaction Data, including information associated with your bill payments, reimbursements and card transactions made through your Company’s Hexacard Account, whether online or in store, such as the purchase details, payment mechanism, amount, location, and any annotations or coding you provide. Transactions can be made through a variety of domestic and international payment mechanisms, such as sending or receiving funds via ACH, wire, or check, or making charges through a payment card.
- Connected Data, including information and documentation relating to you and your Company made available by Third-Party Services connected to the Services. Connected Data may be made available to Hexacard during the application process and after a Hexacard Account is opened for your Company. For example, if you link business bank accounts during or after the application process, or link your bank account to receive or provide expense reimbursements, we will receive Bank Account Information about the linked account, like the bank routing and account numbers and account balance. In addition, some Third-Party Services (e.g., accounting systems and business bank accounts) will provide us with information about activities outside of the Services, like your business expenses and your Company’s external transactions, finances and revenue. Other third party services, like your Company’s HRIS, may disclose your Authorized User Data, and if your Company connects its email service, we may receive your email communications and attachments for processing. We may continue to access and receive Connected Data from a Third-Party Service until it is disconnected by you or your Company.
- Spend and Workflow Data, including your Company’s spend limits and policies, approval hierarchies, and finance workflows.
- Travel Data, including your business travel booking and itinerary. This may include imprecise location information, such as when your travel itinerary indicates you have booked a flight to or hotel in a location.
- Receipt and Invoice Data, including information you submit to us to pay Company invoices and process your receipts, such as photos, PDFs, e-mails and SMS messages if you opt-in to text messages, along with associated metadata.
- Vendor Data, including the identity of your Company’s vendors and their Contact Information, payment details, contracts and purchase orders, and information to complete tax documentation (e.g., the vendor’s tax identification number).

For example, we may place ads through Google, LinkedIn and Facebook that you may view on their platforms as well as on other websites and services.
As part of this process, we may use tracking technologies (including incorporating them into our Website and emails), as well as incorporating into our ads displayed on other websites and services. Some of these tracking technologies may track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use, and delivering relevant ads and/or other content to you (“Interest-based Advertising”).

Our Business is operated from the United States, Canada and other jurisdictions. Any of your Personal Information we collect may be transferred to, processed, used, handled, and stored in the United States and other jurisdictions.

For personal data transferred from the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, we will provide appropriate safeguards, such as through the use of the relevant standard contractual clauses.

8. Additional Important Information
Security. We use organizational, technical, and administrative measures designed to protect your Personal Information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Use by Minors. We do not direct any of our Services or other aspects of our Business to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information (as defined by the U.S. Children’s Privacy Protection Act, or “COPPA”) from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have violated this provision, contact us at [email protected].
Retention. Hexacard collects and stores Personal Information for the purposes outlined in this Policy. We retain Personal Information for as long as we continue to have a business or operational purpose to retain it, and may continue to retain and use Personal Information as necessary to comply with (or demonstrate compliance with) our legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our rights. Please note that our retention obligations may require us to retain your Personal Information after you are no longer an Authorized User or your Company’s Hexacard Account has closed. These retention obligations may also prohibit us in some cases from deleting Personal Information after you have asked us to delete your Personal Information. When the applicable retention period elapses, we will delete or de-identify your Personal Information in accordance with our policies and procedures.
Changes to this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to change and reissue this Policy at any time by posting an updated version. If we have an existing relationship with you, you represent a Company, or if you are an Authorized User, we may provide you notice through our Website or your Company’s Hexacard Account or directly using the Contact Information provided to us. If we do not have an existing relationship with you—for instance, if you only visit our Website—any notice we provide will be posted to our Website. Any privacy notice is effective upon posting or when it is provided to you. We encourage you regularly to review this Policy to ensure that you are always aware of what Personal Information we collect, how we use and otherwise process it and under what circumstances we will disclose it to third parties.

12. Additional Disclosures for California Residents
These additional disclosures apply only to California residents and only to the extent applicable.

The California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) provides additional rights and requires businesses collecting or disclosing personal information to provide notices and means to exercise rights. In the past 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information enumerated in the CPRA:

We disclose the personal information to the categories of persons set out in the “Disclosure of Information” section above. Please visit those sections for further details.
Right to Know, Correct and Delete.
You have the right to know certain details about our data practices. In particular, you may request the following from us:
- The categories of personal information we have collected about you;
- The categories of sources from which the personal information was collected;
- The categories of personal information about you we disclosed for a business purpose or sold or shared;

We may require specific information from you to help us verify your identity and process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity, we may deny your requests.
If personal information about you has been processed by us as a service provider on behalf of a business customer, please inquire with the business customer directly to exercise your rights. If you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide the name of our business customer on whose behalf we processed your personal information. We will refer your request to that business customer, and will support them to the extent required by applicable law in responding to your request.
Additional Notice and Opt-Out
Our business model is providing corporate card and spend management services to business customers, not selling personal information. However, under the CPRA, some marketing practices, like the disclosure of Website visitor data to obtain targeted ads and analytics to advertise our products on third party sites, may be considered a “share” or “sale” even if no money is exchanged. A “share” is broadly defined under the CPRA to include a disclosure for cross-context behavioral advertising, and a “sale” is broadly defined under the CPRA to include a disclosure for something of value. Under these definitions, we may collect, share, or sell the following categories of personal information for commercial purposes: identifiers, characteristics, commercial or transaction information, internet activity, non-precise geolocation data, and inferences drawn. The categories of third parties to whom we “share” or “sell” personal information include, where applicable, vendors and other parties involved in cross-context targeted advertising. To the extent our marketing practices constitute a “share” or “sale” of your personal information, you have the right to opt out. You can exercise this right by modifying your cookie preferences for our Website here or enabling Global Privacy Control on your browser or extension. These settings enable you to communicate an opt out that is specific to your browser or device, as applicable, so you will need to instruct each separately.
Retention
We retain each category of personal information for the length of time that is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.
Authorized Agent.
You can designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. However, we may require signed proof of the agent’s permission to do so and verify your identity directly. Requests must be submitted through the designated methods listed above.
Right to Non-Discrimination.
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of any of your rights.

Roles.
Hexacard may process personal data in accordance with the instructions of or on behalf of a business customer, including when providing Services to a Company under an Agreement.

International Transfers.
We may transfer your personal data to our operations in the United States or to our service providers or other third parties in the United States or in other countries – this may involve the transfer of your personal data to countries which have different data protection standards to those which apply in the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom.
Some of these countries are subject to a European Commission and/or UK government adequacy decision. For other countries, Hexacard has put in place the relevant European Commission or UK government-approved standard contractual clauses with the relevant third parties to ensure that your personal data is protected with appropriate safeguards. We may also rely on other permitted data transfer mechanisms.

You may have certain statutory rights relating to your personal data. Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access and rectify your personal data, to require us to erase your personal data or to transfer it to other organizations, and to object to the processing of your personal data. Where we process your personal data because we have a legitimate interest in doing so (as explained above), you may have a right to object to this. You may also have the right to restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. These rights may be limited in some situations, for example, where we can demonstrate that we have legitimate grounds to process your personal data. In addition, you have the right to ask us not to process your personal data (or provide it to third parties to process) for marketing purposes or purposes materially different from those for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any processing of your personal data which we do based on consent you have provided to us.
To exercise any of these rights, please use this privacy request form. We will respond to your request within the time limits prescribed by law. We may require specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. If your personal data has been processed by us as a processor on behalf of a business customer and you wish to exercise any rights you have with such personal data, please inquire with our business customer directly. If you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide the name of our business customer on whose behalf we processed your personal data. We will refer your request to that business customer, and will support them to the extent required by applicable law in responding to your request.
Retention of your Personal Data.
Please note that we retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected from you and/or our business customers, and may continue to retain and use your personal data for purposes of our legitimate interests and/or as necessary to comply (or demonstrate compliance with) with our legal/regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our rights.
