- Process payment transactions — We transmit necessary data to connected payment gateways (Moamalat, EDFali, MobiCash, OnePay) to initiate, verify, and confirm payment sessions on your behalf.
- Maintain and secure your account — Your information is used to authenticate your identity, manage access permissions through role-based access control, and protect your account from unauthorized access.
- Provide customer support — When you contact us for assistance, we use your account and transaction data to investigate issues, resolve disputes, and respond to your inquiries effectively.
- Improve platform performance and features — Usage data and interaction patterns help us identify areas for improvement, optimize platform reliability, and develop new features that serve our merchants better.
- Comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud — We process and retain certain data to meet regulatory requirements under Libyan law, prevent fraudulent activity, and ensure the integrity of transactions processed through our platform.
- Send service-related communications — We use your email address and, where applicable, phone number to send essential notifications such as payment confirmations, security alerts, account status updates, and policy change notices. We do not send promotional or marketing emails without your explicit consent.
- Generate reports and analytics — Transaction data is aggregated to provide merchants with payment reports, balance summaries, and business insights through the dashboard.
4. Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:
Payment Gateways
To process payments, we share the minimum required transaction data with the relevant payment gateway provider. This includes:
- Moamalat — Transaction amounts, merchant terminal identifiers, and session references required for card payment processing through the LightBox integration.
- EDFali — Customer mobile numbers and transaction amounts necessary for SOAP-based mobile wallet payment initiation and OTP verification.
- MobiCash — Customer card numbers, transaction amounts, and payment descriptions required for card-based payment sessions via the MobiCash API.
- OnePay — Customer national ID card numbers and transaction amounts needed for bank-to-bank payment processing and OTP verification.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information when required to comply with applicable Libyan laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests. This includes responding to court orders, regulatory inquiries, or law enforcement requests where we are legally obligated to provide information.
Service Providers
We may engage trusted third-party service providers for hosting infrastructure, server maintenance, and platform analytics. All service providers are bound by contractual confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to DPAY.
No Sale of Personal Data
We want to be unequivocal: DPAY does not sell your personal data to any third party, under any circumstances. Your data is used solely for the purposes outlined in this policy.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security practices include:
- SSL/TLS encryption — All data transmitted between your browser or application and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security), ensuring that sensitive information cannot be intercepted in transit.
- HMAC-SHA256 signature verification — Webhook payloads delivered to merchant endpoints are signed using HMAC-SHA256, allowing you to verify the authenticity and integrity of every notification received from our platform.
- Certificate-based authentication — Communications with payment gateway providers are secured using certificate-based authentication, ensuring that only authorized systems can exchange transaction data.
- Hashed passwords — All user passwords are hashed using bcrypt with appropriate cost factors before storage. We never store, log, or transmit passwords in plaintext.
- Role-based access control (RBAC) — Access to platform features and data is governed by a granular role and permission system. Users can only access resources and perform actions that their assigned role explicitly permits.
- CSRF protection — All form submissions and state-changing requests are protected against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks using unique, per-session tokens.
- Regular security audits — We conduct periodic reviews of our codebase, infrastructure, and access controls to identify and address potential vulnerabilities proactively.
- API token security — API tokens are displayed only once at the time of creation and are stored in hashed form. Compromised tokens can be revoked immediately through the dashboard.
While we strive to protect your information using commercially reasonable measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and to keep your API tokens confidential.
6. Data Retention
We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
- Account data — Your account information, including name, email, and associated business details, is retained for the duration of your active account. Following account deletion or deactivation, we retain this data for an additional 2 years to handle any post-closure inquiries, disputes, or legal obligations.
- Transaction records — Payment transaction data, including amounts, gateway references, timestamps, and payment statuses, is retained for a minimum of 7 years from the date of the transaction. This retention period is mandated by financial regulatory requirements applicable to payment service providers operating in Libya.
- Technical logs — Server access logs, API request logs, and error logs are retained for 90 days. After this period, logs are permanently deleted through automated processes.
- Invoice data — Invoice records and associated line items are retained alongside transaction records for the 7-year regulatory period.
You may request deletion of your personal data at any time, subject to the legal retention requirements described above. Where we are required by law to retain certain records, we will inform you of the applicable retention period and the basis for that requirement.
7. Your Rights
You have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by DPAY. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@dpay.ly.
- Right to access — You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including account information, transaction history, and any data shared with third parties on your behalf.
- Right to correction — If any of your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct or update it. You can also update most account details directly through your dashboard profile settings.
- Right to deletion — You may request that we delete your personal data from our systems. Please note that this right is subject to the data retention requirements outlined in Section 6. We will delete all data that is not subject to legal retention obligations.
- Right to data export — You may request an export of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. This includes your account information, transaction records, and any other data associated with your account.
- Right to withdraw consent — Where we process your data based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
- Right to object — You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. We will honor your objection unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within 30 calendar days. In exceptional cases where a request is particularly complex or you have made multiple requests, we may extend this period by an additional 30 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it.
8. Cookies & Tracking
DPAY uses a minimal set of cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of our platform. We are committed to respecting your privacy and do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking.
- Session cookies — These cookies are used to maintain your authenticated session as you navigate the platform. They are essential for keeping you logged in and are automatically deleted when you close your browser or your session expires.
- CSRF protection tokens — We use cookies to store Cross-Site Request Forgery tokens, which are a security measure that prevents malicious websites from performing unauthorized actions on your behalf.

9. Third-Party Services
DPAY integrates with the following third-party payment gateway APIs to provide payment processing services:
- Moamalat — Card payment processing via the Moamalat payment network, supporting NUMO cards, Visa, Mastercard, and mobile wallets.
- EDFali — Mobile wallet payment processing through the EDFali SOAP-based payment system.

Each of these payment gateway providers operates under its own privacy policy and data handling practices. We strongly recommend that you review the privacy policies of any payment gateway you use through our platform.
We follow a principle of data minimization when interacting with third-party gateways: we share only the information that is strictly required to initiate, process, and verify each transaction. We do not share your account credentials, dashboard usage data, or any information beyond what is necessary for payment processing.
