Operation by SIX

SIX BBS Ltd shall operate the debiX+ app (hereinafter “debiX+ app”) on behalf of the financial institutions participating in the debiX+ app. This operation shall include the provision of services to the customers of the commissioning financial institutions (hereinafter “User”). This shall be performed together with its sister company SIX Group Services Ltd.

To simplify readability, SIX shall hereinafter refer – without prejudice to the User of the debiX+ app – to both SIX BBS Ltd and SIX Group Services Ltd.

Terms of Use

The User shall accept the following conditions of use in the context of the use of the debiX+ app:

a.    By installing the debiX+ app, the User confirms that they are the legal owner or holder of the mobile device used. Registration shall be made with at least one or more debit cards that the User is authorized to use for private or business purposes. The transactions performed in connection with the mobile device used and the debit card used shall be deemed, as a rule, to have been lawfully made and accepted by the User.

b.    The User shall be responsible for the safekeeping of the mobile device used. The User shall take appropriate security measures to prevent any misuse by unauthorized third parties.

c.     The User shall handle their username and password with care. The password must be created specifically for the debiX+ app and must not be easily guessed. The username and password must be kept secret and secure. When entering the username and password, it must always be ensured that they cannot be seen by third parties.

d.    If the User wishes to link the login to the debiX+ app or the approval of transactions with the biometric data stored on the mobile device used, they can activate this via the corresponding consent in the system.

e.    The User agrees that the camera of the mobile device used can be accessed for the use of the card data read-in functionality (scan).

f.      The User authorizes SIX to use the information provided as part of the payment process in accordance with applicable laws and exclusively in connection with the debiX+ app. The User is aware that information is passed on to third parties for the purpose of transaction processing.

g.    If the User wishes to receive notifications in connection with 3D Secure transactions, one-time activation of the push notifications function is recommended. The User can enable this function when registering their debit card, after which they can manage this function independently via the operating system settings.

h.    The User may use only operating systems provided by the manufacturer of the mobile device used and shall be responsible for regularly implementing the relevant security updates. Intrusions into the operating systems of the mobile device or the functionality, architecture or programming code of the debiX+ app shall not be permitted.

i.      If the User has reason to believe that the security of the debiX+ app is no longer ensured, in particular if the mobile device used is no longer in their possession and the security of their data is compromised, they must immediately report this to the respective card-issuing financial institution of the debit card registered in the debiX+ app. 

j.      By registering their e-mail address, the User agrees that SIX may use it for electronic communication with them in connection with the debiX+ app. Possible use cases may include master data changes initiated by the User, notifications of changes to the terms of use from SIX, inquiries from SIX in connection with transactions for the purpose of avoiding card and debiX+ app misuse.

k.     It shall be the responsibility of the User to ensure technical access to the debiX+ app. SIX assumes no liability in connection with the network operator selected by the User or the functionality of the hardware and software used by the User.

l.      SIX shall not be liable for damages, lost profits or loss of data of the User in connection with the use of the debiX+ app to the extent permitted by law.

m.    No transfer of intellectual property rights takes place in the context of the use of the debiX+ app. All rights to the debiX+ app remain with SIX at all times.

Privacy Statement for the debiX+ App

This Privacy Statement explains how SIX BBS Ltd. (“SIX”) collects, uses and discloses (hereinafter referred to together as “processes”) personal data (hereinafter referred to as “Personal Data”) of the users of the debiX+ app (hereinafter referred to as “User(s)”), and the means by which this is done. The Privacy Statement also describes how SIX safeguards the confidentiality of the Personal Data processed.

The User agrees to SIX processing Personal Data in accordance with the Privacy Statement. Legal or contractual duties to maintain confidentiality to which SIX is subject in relation to the User’s Personal Data are not affected by this Privacy Statement.

Where the User uses the debiX+ app for processing purposes in which SIX is not the data controller of the Personal Data, the privacy statement of the respective data controller, for example the privacy statement of the financial institution which issued the debit card registered in the debiX+ app (“financial institution”), shall apply.

SIX may amend the Privacy Statement unilaterally at any time. The most recent version is published in the app store by SIX.


1. Data Protection by SIX

The activity of SIX as an infrastructure provider for payments and financial services makes it necessary to collect and process a large amount of data. Thus, data protection is of the highest priority for us. The basic principle is that wherever data are processed, a high level of data protection and security must be guaranteed. This applies to data from financial institutions, Users and business partners as well as to employee data, because privacy is above all protection of the individual. As a consequence, we attribute such a high priority to compliance with the applicable laws and to protecting privacy and the private sphere of affected individuals in order to comply with national and international legal requirements.

SIX processes Personal Data about Users who download, install and use the debiX+ app from the relevant app stores.

In select cases, Personal Data are also processed if SIX records telephone calls with Users, whether to meet its own legal obligations or for training or quality assurance purposes.

  • Title
  • First name and surname
  • Date of birth
  • E-mail address
  • Mobile phone number
  • Account number
  • IBAN
  • Card number and expiry date

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version (in connection with a 3-D Secure payment)
  • Operating system (in connection with a 3-D Secure payment)

3. Usage of Personal Data and Legal Basis

By processing Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Statement, SIX is able to improve the quality of its debiX+ app as well as the features and services that can be used with it.

Personal Data is processed for the following purposes in particular:

  • Technical management as well as research and further development of the debiX+ app
  • User administration
  • Communications related to updates, changes to Privacy Statements and Terms and Conditions

The following procedural steps must be distinguished from one another when using the debiX+ app:

  1. The User receives a debit card and the OTRC registration code for the debiX+ app from their financial institution.
  2. The User downloads the debiX+ app to their device from the Apple Store or Google Play and registers as a user with SIX.
  3. The User then registers their debit card for 3-D Secure in the debiX+ app.
  4. The User makes payments using the debit card in online shops and confirms them via the debiX+ app using the 3-D Secure procedure or, alternatively, via SMS confirmation code.

These procedural steps involve processing of the data listed under point 2, but a distinction must be drawn between SIX and data for which financial institutions are responsible, which is also reflected in the different responsibility for data processing and erasure.

The individual procedural steps, the data attributes included and the responsibilities are explained below:

This occurs especially when switching from the debiX+ app to another application. Employees, agents and other third parties which have access to Personal Data are required by SIX to ensure compliance with all applicable data protection provisions. Any person who authorizes SIX to access Personal Data as defined in this Privacy Statement will be made aware of the data security and data protection implications. When Personal Data of the User are transferred to other countries, SIX will ensure data protection by granting the protection level required by the applicable law, e.g. by adopting EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) or similar safeguards.
