This privacy policy provides information about the processing of personal data in relation to our payment solution services (hereinafter the "Services"). The Services enable a merchant website (the "merchant") to allow company representatives to use Two as a payment option, where the payment claim and invoice for the order placed by the company representative will be transferred to one of our partner banks, which will collect the payment from the company.
This privacy policy explains for what purposes we process personal data, what personal data we process, how we process it, and on what legal bases. The privacy policy also explains what rights you may have in relation to our processing of personal data about you.
Two AS ("Two", "we", "us") is the controller for the processing of personal data as described in this privacy policy. You can find our contact information at the end of the privacy policy.
1.1 Preliminary verification of data input and confirmation of interest to purchase the invoice
We need to verify that a company representative inputs the correct company information, including company name and business address. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interests in ensuring that we will be invoicing the correct company at the right invoicing address (GDPR Article 6(1) litra f). For this purpose, we process personal data about which company the representative claims to be able to place an order on behalf of.
We share the name of the company with our partner banks. The purpose of this is to inquire whether the banks are interested in purchasing the invoice for the order placed by the company's representative. This processing is based on our legitimate interests in providing the Services to companies and the banks (GDPR Article 6(1) litra f).
1.2 Verification of the potential customer placing an order intent
If none of the partner banks is interested in purchasing the order invoice, the Merchant will not present the Two Services as a payment option.
If one or several banks are interested in purchasing invoices regarding orders placed by the company's representative, the Merchant presents the Two Services as a payment option.
For order baskets sized above a certain threshold, we must verify the company placing the order as well as the identity of the person claiming to represent the company. We will then process personal data about the company representative placing an order for the purpose of ID verification. We will process information about the representative's name, the company delivery address, and which company the representative claims to be able to order on behalf of. We will also conduct ID verification to match the company representative with the company they claim to place an order on behalf of. For this purpose, we will process the previously stated information in addition to information about the type of connection the representative has with the company in question. We will use methods provided by Vipps Login and Enin AS for these ID verification purposes.
The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interests in verifying the company and ensuring that the company representative is authorized to represent the company (GDPR Article 6(1) litra f).
To place an order using Two as a payment method, we must check with the relevant partner bank whether they confirm their interest in buying the payment claim for the order placed. If this is confirmed, Two facilitates the sale of the invoice from the merchant to the partner bank. For these purposes, Two collects and shares with the partner bank information about the company representative's name, the company delivery address, the name of the company, and the items and products purchased.
Two also facilitates the distribution of the invoice to the buyer company. For this purpose, Two will share the same information as described in the previous paragraph with the company, and the company will receive EHF and the company representative will receive the invoice as a PDF-file by email.

The representatives can also request a view of the performance of the merchant's buyers' payouts to the partner banks, i.e. for the partner banks to share with the merchants via Two whether the original invoices generated have been paid upon credit term expiry.
