We collect and process your Personal Data when: you create or modify your account; you place orders or use the Trade-in Service; you interact with our Customer Service; you participate in a game or contest organized by us; or you write a review or respond to a customer satisfaction survey. 
Your Personal Data may also be collected automatically as a result of your navigation on the Platform, in particular through the use of Cookies.
Personal Data we collect are: 
  • Your last name, first name, e-mail address, phone number, delivery address and billing address,
  • Your bank and payment details; however, only the payment service provider will have access to your full payment card details,
  • Your order information and history,
  • Device unique identifiers (such as IMEI or serial number) of devices you purchase or trade-in from our platform),
  • The data relating to your connection and browsing activity on the Platform (in particular IP address, pages and products viewed)
  • Data relating to the ads you have viewed,
  • Information you provide when participating in promotional operations, polls and surveys, contests, or events,
  • Your reviews and comments,
  • Messages and claims relating to products purchased or sold via the Platform,
  • Recording of your calls to our Customer Service, unless you object to it,
  • Data from fraud risk detection and analysis results.
If you use our Trade-in Service, we will also collect your name and the last four digits of your Social Security Number (“SSN”) to enable you to sell on the marketplace. In addition, you also agree to provide your address and your full nine-digit SSN or your Individual Tax Identification Number (“ITIN”), once your transactions using the Trade-in Service amount to the legal appreciable threshold. We may suspend payouts to individuals who fail to provide a correct SSN/ ITIN once they reach the legal applicable threshold. You acknowledge that we are entitled to retain funds from your payments in case you fail to provide your full valid and matching SSN, or in case you submit incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate or obsolete information about your account.
If, within the year, you exceed the legal applicable threshold using the Trade-in Service, we may also collect certain additional information on behalf of the tax authorities (in particular: your tax number and country of issue, your bank details (IBAN or equivalent), and the name of the bank account holder). 
In the event of a dispute relating to a transaction that has been blocked by our anti-fraud tools, we may collect a copy of your ID and any other supporting documents necessary to assess the situation. In the event of a dispute regarding the delivery or receipt of a product, we may need to verify your identity and, where applicable, collect through a secure mechanism a copy of your identity document, a video selfie and/or other information necessary to verify your identity. In addition to a copy of your identity document, we may also collect other documents, such as a proof of address, a complaint filed, a signed declaration of non-receipt, a proof of deposit and/or any other additional evidence necessary for Back Market and its shipping partner to assess the situation.
To speed up the identity verification process, we may invite you to prove your identity using your valid ID and the "Live Identity Check" system handled by our trusted service provider Onfido on our behalf. This facial biometric verification system verifies automatically the authenticity of your ID and confirms it belongs to you by comparing the face on the ID with a selfie video you provide in the same flow. We need your consent to process your biometric data. If you do not consent to the Live Identity check, we will contact you for an alternative way to verify your identity. 
To improve the handling of your Product returns to the Seller, we might ask a third-party service provider to check the device’s unique identifier (such as the IMEI number) to see if the returned Product is connected to a personal account (such as an iCloud account). If the device is still connected, the Seller won’t be able to process your return request. If that's the case, we'll provide you with instructions on how to disconnect the device remotely to keep your personal data safe and help you with your return. 
Personal Data collected via Social Login
If you choose to create your customer account or connect to our Platform using the Social Login functionality offered by Google, or Apple, they will provide us with your email address, and in some cases your full name, which are required to create your customer account or connect to our Platform. 
Personal Data collected from other sources
As part of our fraud prevention efforts, we may access or receive additional information about you from third-party service providers and/or partners, and cross-check it with information we already have about you. For instance, we may receive background check results or fraud alerts from identity or document verification service providers.

Your personal data will be stored in compliance with applicable data protection laws, and only for as long as necessary to fulfill the processing purposes described in this Privacy Policy. After this period, we will delete your personal data in accordance with our retention and deletion policy or anonymize it, unless we are legally required or permitted to retain your personal data for a longer period (for example, to comply with legal, tax, accounting obligations).
