OTHER WEBSITES

Please be aware that third-party websites accessible through the Site or recommended through our Services may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. We are not responsible for any actions, content of websites, or privacy policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

We cooperate with government and law enforcement agencies, public authorities and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose Personal Information and any other information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties if, in our discretion, we believe it is necessary or appropriate to respond to legal requests (including court orders, investigative demands and subpoenas), to protect the safety, property, or rights of ourselves, Merchants, Partners, or any other third party, to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity, or to comply with applicable law.

OTHER TRANSFERS

We may share Personal Information and Usage Data with businesses controlling, controlled by, or under common control with us. If we are merged, acquired or sold, or in the event of a transfer of some or all of our assets, we may disclose or transfer Personal Information and Usage Data in connection with such transaction.

We also retain your Personal Information for a period of time after our relationship with you has ended if there is an ongoing business need to retain it. This includes retention to comply with our legal, regulatory, tax, and/or accounting obligations. Generally, we retain Personal Information for approximately seven (7) years after our relationship with you has ended, but the term for which we retain your Personal Information may differ in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable law.

DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

California Privacy Rights

Terms used in this section and not otherwise defined have the meaning given to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

In the preceding 12 months, with respect to California residents, we collected the categories of Personal Information identified under “Information We Collect: Personal Information,” and we disclosed for a business purpose those categories of Personal Information identified under “How We Use and Share Information: Service Providers.” We do not sell Personal Information collected about you.

If you are a California resident, you may have the following rights with respect to Personal Information we have collected about you that constitutes “personal information” under the CCPA. These rights are to the extent required by the CCPA and subject to verification and any applicable exceptions:

• To request access to (i) the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you; (ii) the categories of sources from which your Personal Information was collected; (iii) the business or commercial purpose for which we collected your Personal Information; and (iv) the categories of third parties with whom we shared your Personal Information;
• To request deletion of Personal Information we have collected about you; and
• To not be unlawfully discriminated against for exercising these rights.

California residents may exercise their rights to request access and/or deletion above by submitting a request as set out in the “Exercising California, EEA, and UK Privacy Rights” section below. We may request additional information from you in order to verify your identity or locate your Personal Information. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request related to Personal Information collected about you. To designate an authorized agent, the authorized agent must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that they have been authorized by you to act on their behalf.

European Economic Area and United Kingdom Privacy

Types and Basis for Processing

For individuals in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (“UK”), the following chart identifies the types of processing we conduct, the categories of Personal Information involved in such processing, and our legal basis for such processing.

We also engage in certain types of profiling and automated processing as part of our business:

Rights with respect to your Personal Information:

You have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:

• The right to access Personal Information we hold about you, how we use it and who we share it with.
• The right to have any inaccurate Personal Information we hold about you corrected.
• The right to object to our processing of your Personal Information. You can object to marketing at any time and we will stop processing your Personal Information for this purpose.
• The right to withdraw your consent at any time if and to the extent we are relying on consent as the basis for processing your Personal Information.
• The right to require us to stop processing the Personal Information we hold about you other than for storage purposes in certain circumstances.
• The right to have the Personal Information we hold about you deleted in certain circumstances.
• The right to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to request that we transfer it to a third party, with certain exceptions.
• The right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in the UK or the EEA, and such supervisory authority will be the point of contact with respect to the progress and outcome of your complaint.

Exercising California, EEA, and UK Privacy Rights

To exercise your data protection rights or to receive more details in connection with them, residents of California, the EEA, or the UK can submit requests via the applicable online forms accessible at here, or by sending an email to [email protected]. You may be required to provide additional information necessary to confirm your identity before we can respond to your request.

We will consider all such requests and provide our response within the time period required by applicable law. Please note, however, that certain information may be exempt from such requests, for example if we need to keep the information to comply with our own legal obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

International Transfers

Your Personal Information may be transferred, stored, accessed and processed within the EEA or the UK or transferred to, stored in, accessed from, or processed in the United States. In the United States, the data protection regime may be different than in the country in which you are located and will therefore be based on a legally adequate transfer method. Whenever we transfer your Personal Information to the United States, we use specific contractual clauses approved by the European Commission which give Personal Information the same protection it has in Europe. Where applicable, you are entitled, upon request, to receive a copy of the relevant safeguard (e.g., EC model contractual clauses) that have been taken to protect Personal Information during such transfer. For a copy of the relevant safeguard please email us at [email protected].
