FUNCTIONS AND USE OF DATA

Roundups designs, builds and maintains a platform allowing members to donate to Good Causes in convenient and engaging ways.

Donations are including but not limited to low value amounts of 99 pence or less. The donations are based on rounding up your digital payments to a specific “Roundup Figure” that Members must specify when setting up their account. For example, you can choose to round up your transactions to £0.10, £0.50 or £1.00. Members have constant access to their historical donations log via the Roundups app.

The Good Causes that Members can donate to can be Registered Charities and schools as well as non-regulated social enterprises, limited companies or other corporate structures supporting causes beneficial to the society at large or specific groups in need of help.

The Good Causes available on the platform are pre-selected. Members cannot use the platform to donate to other Good Causes which have not yet been added. Members can submit requests for invitations of Good Causes, however those will be invited and added upon Roundups’ sole discretion.

Roundups carry out a limited degree of due diligence on the Good Causes available on the platform and Roundups cannot be held responsible for how Good Causes use the donations distributed by Roundups. More information on the vetting process for Good Causes can be found on our FAQs.

Roundups is not a payment service provider. The mission of the service is to offer innovative and engaging ways for individuals to donate to Good Causes, encourage altruism via new donation mechanism s; make the experience as rewarding as possible and build a community of like-minded philanthropists.

Roundups do not store any financial data. All data necessary for the operation of the service is processed and stored as explained in this Agreement and in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

This administration cost covers third party costs such as payment processing fees and data aggregation. Further, it covers business running costs such as technical infrastructure and marketing. This commission fee is deducted from donations before they are disbursed to Members’ chosen Good Causes.

Some of the processes required to use the Roundups app are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The processes that are FCA regulated are managed by authorised organisations Salt Edge Limited and Stripe Payments UK, Ltd., as explained below. Roundups itself is not regulated as per the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority.
