Privacy Policy

DAHABSHIIL U.S. PRIVACY POLICY

(Applicable to Dahabshil Inc. and Dahab-Shil Inc.)

The purpose of Dahabshiil’s Privacy Policy is to formulate the company’s policy to comply with the specific requirements set forth in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act). The guidelines entailed here shall enable Dahabshiil to protect its entrusted customer information as required by the GLB Act.

Please read our Privacy Policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information. This Privacy Policy gets updated periodically and was last updated December 3, 2025.

The objectives of our Privacy Policy are to:

  • Insure the protection, security, and confidentiality of non-public customer information.
  • Protect against loss or destruction of our customer information.
  • Protect against unauthorized access to or use of customer information.

Dahabshil Inc., a money service business with its head office in Dublin, Ohio, and Dahab-shil Inc., a money service business with its head office in Minneapolis, Minnesota, are serious about protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) covers how both entities (collectively, “Dahabshiil,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collect and use the personal information you provide on our website and/or mobile application and in conjunction with any of the services hosted at www.dahabshiil.com/us (“Service” and “Website”), including money transfer services accessed by internet-enabled devices.

  • This Policy explains what personal information we collect about you, with whom we share it, and how you can elect in certain situations to not share information with third parties. “Personal Information” refers to information such as name and email that can be used to identify you individually.
  • We may amend this Policy at any time, and whenever we do so we will notify you by posting a revised version on the Website. If, however, we plan to make a material change in the way we collect, use, or store your personal information, we will provide prior notice on our website and by email. You will then have the chance to decide whether or not we will use or disclose your information in that new manner, whether through an “opt-out” procedure or by ending your relationship with us. Such changes will become effective, at the earliest, 30 days after the date of the email notifications.
  • Minors (those under the age of 18 years) are not eligible to use our Service. We ask that minors refrain from using our Service or submitting any personal information to us.
  • If you have questions or concerns regarding this Policy, you should contact us.

You may be able to disable your device’s use of cookies, but that may slow or prevent your ability to use the Dahabshiil service.

SHARING INFORMATION WITH OTHERS

We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways described in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell or rent the information we collect to third parties for their promotional purposes. These companies are authorized to use your personally identifiable information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

Nevertheless, we may share information about you (including non-public personal information) with:

  • Third-party service providers under contract with Dahabshiil that help us with our business operations, such as transaction processing, fraud prevention, marketing, market research, and validation of information provided. These third parties are prohibited from using your information for their own separate business purposes.
  • In the event of the sale, acquisition, or merger of some or all of our assets, your personal information might be a part of the transferred assets. We shall notify you in the event of such an occurrence, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information, by placing a notice on our Website.
  • Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties, but only
    • in connection with a formal request, subpoena, court order, or similar legal procedure; and
    • when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, prevent physical harm or financial loss, report suspected illegal activity, or investigate violations of our Terms and Conditions Agreement.
  • Other third parties that you consent or direct, which may include authorizing account linking for a third-party service, account, and/or platform.

An “account linking” with such a third party is a connection you authorize or enable between your Dahabshiil account and a non-Dahabshiil account, payment instrument, or platform that you lawfully control or own. When you authorize such a connection, Dahabshiil and the third party will exchange your personal information and other information directly.

If you connect your Dahabshiil account to other banking or similar accounts, directly or through a third-party service provider, we may have access to your account balance and transactional information. We will use any such information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Information shared with a third party based on an account connection will be used and disclosed in accordance with the third party’s privacy practices. Before authorizing an account connection, you should review that privacy notice.

We collect personal information from you if you participate in any research projects for us (by phone, in-person, electronic survey or otherwise). we will hold your name, contact details and any other personal information you choose to give us when taking part in our research projects. We will use this information for our legitimate interests namely to conduct our research projects which may also help us to improve and/or develop our products and services. We will share this information with:

  • our staff (but their use shall be limited to the performance of their duties and in line with the reason for processing);
  • other companies within our group if any;
  • our platform, database, and website hosting suppliers to enable them to maintain, protect, support and host those solutions which are used to store our research;
  • various third parties who provide software and tools which are used to operate our business (including email, instant messaging, document/contract management and file-sharing);
  • Other third parties in the event of the sale, acquisition or merger of some or all of our assets if your personal information is part of the transferred assets (we shall notify you in the event of such an occurrence, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information, by placing a notice on our Site).

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

  • obligations and/or retention periods imposed on us by applicable laws and/or our regulators
  • the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information
  • the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, and
  • the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

MOBILE APPLICATION 

When you download and use our Services, we automatically collect information on the type of device you use, operating system version, and performance information.

We send push notifications to update you about events or promotions. You may turn these off at the device level.

We collect your location-based information to help identify nearby locations or services. We may share geo-location data with third parties for ad-serving purposes. You may opt out at any time by adjusting your device settings or contacting us at [email protected].

We use mobile analytics software to help us better understand how our app functions. This may record data such as usage frequency, events within the app, performance data, and download source. This information is not linked to personally identifiable information.

SYSTEM SECURITY 

We employ industry-accepted security standards to protect the information you submit through our branch or agent locations, Website, and Mobile App.

We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology to protect sensitive information such as bank account numbers, credit card numbers, date of birth, and Social Security Number. Users must enter a username and password to access account information.

Although we strive to use the best security practices, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you have any questions about security, contact us at [email protected]

CHOICES YOU CAN MAKE ABOUT OUR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

  • Opt-out from promotional emails by selecting the “Unsubscribe” function in each email.
