Information you provide to us: We may collect and store any information you provide us when you use PayApp Services, including when you add information on a web form, add or update your account information, participate in community discussions, chats, or dispute resolutions, or when you otherwise correspond with us regarding PayApp Services.

When you use PayApp Services, we also collect information about your transactions and your activities. In addition, if you open a PayApp account or use PayApp Services, we may collect the following types of information:

We may also collect information from or about you from other sources, such as through your contact with us, including our customer support team, your results when you respond to a survey, your interactions with members of the PayApp corporate family or other companies (subject to their privacy policies and applicable law), and from other accounts we have reason to believe you control (whether in part or in whole). Additionally, for quality and training purposes or for its own protection, PayApp may monitor or record its telephone conversations with you or anyone acting on your behalf. By communicating with PayApp, you acknowledge that your communication may be overheard, monitored, or recorded without further notice or warning.

You may choose to provide us with access to certain personal information stored by third parties such as social media sites (e.g., Facebook and Twitter). The information we may receive varies by site and is controlled by that site. By associating an account managed by a third party with your PayApp account and authorizing PayApp to have access to this information, you agree that PayApp may collect, store and use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may use this information to provide you with location-based services, such as advertising, search results, and other personalized content. Most mobile devices allow you to control or disable location services in the device's setting's menu. If you have questions about how to disable your device's location services, we recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or the manufacture of your particular device.

How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you access our website or use PayApp Services, we (including companies we work with) may place small data files on your computer or other device. These data files may be cookies, pixel tags, "Flash cookies," or other local storage provided by your browser or associated applications (collectively "Cookies"). We use these technologies to recognize you as a customer; customize PayApp Services, content, and advertising; measure promotional effectiveness; help ensure that your account security is not compromised; mitigate risk and prevent fraud; and to promote trust and safety across our sites and PayApp Services.

How We Protect and Store Personal Information

Throughout this Privacy Policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been made anonymous so that it does not identify a specific user.

We store and process your personal information on our computers in North America, Asia, Europe and elsewhere in the world where our facilities are located. We protect your information using physical, technical, and administrative security measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure and alteration. Some of the safeguards we use are firewalls and data encryption, physical access controls to our data centers, and information access authorization controls.

How We Share Personal Information with Other PayApp Users

When transacting with others, we may provide those parties with information about you necessary to complete the transaction, such as your name, account ID, contact details, shipping and billing address, or other information needed to promote the reliability and security of the transaction. If a transaction is held, fails, or is later invalidated, we may also provide details of the unsuccessful transaction. To facilitate dispute resolution, we may provide a buyer with the seller's address so that goods can be returned to the seller. The receiving party is not allowed to use this information for unrelated purposes, such as to directly market to you, unless you have agreed to it. Contacting users with unwanted or threatening messages is against our policies and constitutes a violation of our User Agreement.

If someone is sending you money and enters your email address or phone number, we will provide them your registered name so they can verify they are sending the money to the correct account.

We work with third parties, including merchants, to enable them to accept or send payments from or to you using PayApp. In doing so, a third party may share information about you with us, such as your email address or mobile phone number, to inform you that a payment has been sent to you or when you attempt to pay a merchant or third party. We use this information to confirm that you are a PayApp customer and that PayApp as a form of payment can be enabled, or to send you notification of payment status. Also, if you request that we validate your status as a PayApp customer with a third party, we will do so.

If you link your loyalty or gift card of a PayApp merchant to your account, we may share your card number with that merchant when you pay using PayApp.

Please note that merchants, sellers, and users you buy from or contract with have their own privacy policies, and although PayApp's User Agreement does not allow the other transacting party to use this information for anything other than providing PayApp Services, PayApp is not responsible for their actions, including their information protection practices.

Regardless, we will not disclose your credit card number or bank account number to anyone you have paid or who has paid you using PayApp, or with the third parties that offer or use PayApp Services, except with your express permission or if we are required to do so to comply with credit card rules, a subpoena, or other legal process.

How We Share Personal Information with Other Third Parties

We may share your personal information with:

  • Members of the PayApp corporate family, such as PayApp Credit, Venmo or Braintree, to provide joint content, products, and services (such as registration, transactions and customer support), to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and to guide decisions about their products, services, and communications. Members of our corporate family will use this information to send you marketing communications only if you have requested their services.
  • Financial institutions that we partner with to jointly create and offer a product (including but not limited to, the PayApp Extras credit card where we share information with GE Capital to determine whether you should receive pre-approved offers for the PayApp Extras credit card). These financial institutions may only use this information to market PayApp-related products, unless you have given consent for other uses.
  • Credit bureaus and collection agencies to report account information, as permitted by law.
  • Banking partners as required by credit card association rules for inclusion on their list of terminated merchants (in the event that you meet their criteria which includes having PayApp close your PayApp Account due to your breach of PayApp's User Agreement).
  • Companies that we plan to merge with or are acquired by. (Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information could be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
  • Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process or requirement applicable to PayApp or one of its affiliates; when we need to do so to comply with law or credit card rules; or when we believe, in our sole discretion, that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity or to investigate violations of our User Agreement.
  • Other unaffiliated third parties, for the following purposes:
    • Fraud Prevention and Risk Management : to help prevent fraud or assess and manage risk. For example, if you use the PayApp Services to buy or sell goods using eBay Inc. or its affiliates ('eBay'), we may share account information in order to help protect your account from fraudulent activity, alert you if we detect such fraudulent activity on your accounts, or evaluate credit risk.

      As part of our fraud prevention and risk management efforts, we also may share necessary account information with eBay in cases where PayApp has placed a hold or other restriction on your Account based on disputes, claims, chargebacks or other scenarios regarding the sale or purchase of goods. Also, as part of our fraud prevention and risk management efforts, we may share account information with eBay to enable them to operate their programs for evaluating buyers or sellers.
    • Customer Service : for customer service purposes, including to help service your accounts or resolve disputes (e.g., billing or transactional).
    • Shipping : in connection with shipping and related services for purchases made using PayApp.
    • Legal Compliance : to help them comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing verification requirements.
    • Service Providers : to enable service providers under contract with us to support our business operations, such as fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing, customer service and technology services. Our contracts dictate that these service providers only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit.
  • Other third parties with your consent or direction to do so.

Please note that these third parties may be in other countries where the laws on processing personal information may be less stringent than in your country.

If you open a PayApp account directly on a third party website or via a third party application, any information that you enter on that website or application (and not directly on a PayApp website) will be shared with the owner of the third party website or application. These sites are governed by their own privacy policies and you are encouraged to review their privacy policies before providing them with personal information. PayApp is not responsible for the content or information practices of such third parties.

Using Log In with PayApp

Log In with PayApp is a tool we've developed to improve your Internet experience. Log In with PayApp allows you to streamline and simplify the account creation and login process when using third-party websites, and it allows these websites to enhance your experience on their sites. Instead of creating multiple usernames and passwords for each website you visit, Log In with PayApp allows you to sign in to a participating website using your existing PayApp login information. When you use Log In with PayApp, you agree that PayApp can share the information listed on the Log In with PayApp consent screen or in your Log In with PayApp account settings with the participating website. Information you allow PayApp to share with these third-party websites is subject to each third-party's terms of service and privacy agreement, so you are encouraged to review their policies.
