How PayPilot Technologies collects, uses, and protects your personal data.

Effective date: 26 May 2025
1. Who We Are

PayPilot Technologies ("PayPilot", "we", "us", "our") is a private limited company registered in Scotland. We operate PilotOS — a cloud-based operating platform designed for independent sales organisations (ISOs) and payment companies, covering CRM, merchant onboarding, analytics, white-label portals, MCA origination, and related services.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, PayPilot Technologies is the data controller for the personal data of website visitors and for the account, billing, and contact details of our customers ("Tenants"). For all other personal data processed through the PilotOS platform on behalf of a Tenant, PayPilot acts as a data processor and the Tenant is the data controller. See our GDPR & Data Policy for full details on this distinction.

Our registered office address and contact details are available at legal@paypilot.plus.
