On Store Bounty, Your information belongs to you:
We carefully analyze what types of information we need to provide our services, and we try to limit the information we collect to only what we really need. Where possible, we delete or anonymize this information when we no longer need it. When building and improving our products, our engineers work closely with our privacy and security teams to build with privacy in mind. In all of this work, our guiding principle is that your information belongs to you, and we aim to only use your information to your benefit.
We protect your information from others:
If a third party requests your personal information, we will refuse to share it unless you give us permission or we are legally required. When we are legally required to share your personal information, we will tell you in advance, unless we are legally forbidden.
We help merchants and partners meet their privacy obligations:
Because many of the merchants and partners using Store Bounty do not have the benefit of a dedicated privacy team, and it is important to us to help them meet their privacy obligations. To do this, we try to build our products and services so they can easily be used in a privacy-friendly way. We also provide detailed FAQs covering the most important privacy topics and respond to privacy-related questions we receive.
WHY WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION
We generally process your information for legitimate reasons, this includes when preventing risk and fraud, answering questions or providing other types of support, helping merchants find and use apps through our app store, providing and improving our products and service, providing reporting and analytics, testing out features or additional services and assisting with marketing, advertising, or other communications.
YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR INFORMATION
We believe you should be able to access and control your personal information no matter where you live. Depending on how you use Store Bounty, you may have the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete, port to another service provider, restrict, or object to certain uses of your personal information (for example, direct marketing). We will not charge you more or provide you with a different level of service if you exercise any of these rights. If you buy something from a Store Bounty - powered store and wish to exercise these rights over information about your purchase, you need to directly contact the merchant you interacted with. We are only a processor on their behalf, and cannot decide how to process their information. We will help our merchants to fulfill these requests by giving them the tools to do so and by answering their questions.
