Providing Services
We may use personal information to provide the Stellar Card Services requested by users or to otherwise perform any contract we may have with users, including communicating with users about the scope of work, payment or other related topics. When company account is set up on our Website or user otherwise agrees to the Terms of Use of the Website, a contract is formed between the particular company and us.

Processing of Information Subject to User Consent
Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between user and us, such as when, after having browsed our Website, user requests us to provide more information about our business, including about our services, we may request the user to provide consent to us in order to process information that may be personal information. Wherever practicable, we aim to obtain explicit user consent to process personal information. Sometimes user might give consent implicitly, such as when user sends us a message containing personal information by email to which user expects us to reply.
When we communicate with users about our business, we will use the contact information provided to us to discuss technical issues, services, and other information of interest to users. We may also send users email messages containing useful information and promotional information about our business. Except where a particular user has consented to our use of user information for a specific purpose, we will not use any of user's information in any way that would identify the user personally.
We will continue to process user information on this basis until user withdraws consent or it can be reasonably assumed that user consent is no longer valid. Each user may withdraw consent at any time by instructing us using the contact information at the end of this Policy, or changing user elections within our Website. However, if user does so, he or she may no longer be able to use our Website or Stellar Card Services.

Other Legitimate Interest
We may process information or use it to communicate with users on the basis that doing so is necessary to achieve a legitimate interest, either to a particular user or to us. Where we use user information on this basis, we do so after having given careful consideration to:
- whether the same objective could be achieved through other means;
- whether processing (or not processing) might cause a particular user any harm;
- whether the user would expect us to process his or her data, and whether the user would consider it reasonable to do so;

- protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party;
- insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage business risk; and/or

We will continue to use this information for this purpose until the legitimate interest no longer exists or such use is not necessary to achieve the legitimate interest.
