If a merchant offers a loyalty program or coupon through the Service, we may require that customers submit information such as their name, phone number, email address and/or mobile phone number.

Cookies

In order to track how our website is used, we (or our service providers) may place “cookies” on your computer or device. Cookies are small data files that identify you when you use our Services. You have the option to decline our cookies by using your browser's settings tools, but this may interfere with your use of the Service.

Protecting Personal Information

Any information that can be used to identify a person is “Personal Information.” This does not include information that has been aggregated or made anonymous. All information is securely stored on servers in the United States. Our safeguards and procedures have been implemented in a manner designed to be in accordance with US state and federal law and regulations to maintain the physical and electronic security of our software, services, and your Personal Information. Our measures include firewalls, system-wide data encryption, physical and electronic access controls, and strict rules regarding the access and use of data on our system.

Using Personal Information

We use your Personal Information to provide you the features and functionality of the Service and to ensure that you have a safe, high-performance experience when using the Service. When you use the Service, including accepting a payment, requesting funds, contacting customer service, or requesting technical support, in addition to many other interactions with the Service, we will apply the information that we have collected. Knowing this information allows us to verify your identity, communicate with you, and enforce our agreements with you, as well as provide the best possible experience for all customers. We may also use this information to measure how our members use the Service and to improve and enhance our offerings to you. We may use certain information about you without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as analyzing how the Service is used, diagnosing service or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing content.
