You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by clicking on the opt-out link included in each marketing message.
  

Should you choose to opt out of receiving our marketing messages, we will continue to carry out our other relevant activities using your personal data, including sending non- marketing messages.

Complying with law

We use your personal data as we believe necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities.

Compliance, fraud prevention and safety

We use your personal data as we believe necessary or appropriate to (a) enforce the terms and conditions that govern our products and services; (b) protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of you or others; and (c) protect, investigate and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity.

With your consent

In some circumstances, we may request your consent, such as when we ask you to opt- in to our marketing communications.

How We Share Information

We may share your personal data as described in this section.

Clover

The Clover POS is operated by Clover Network, Inc., which receives the information that is processed through the Clover POS, including your personal data. Clover uses the information to provide its services to us and as otherwise disclosed in its Privacy Notice.

Service providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to administer and provide services on our behalf (such as companies that provide customer support and order fulfilment and delivery services).

Third-party applications that run on the Clover POS

The Clover POS enables us to install third-party applications on the Clover POS, similar to how mobile applications can be installed on a smartphone. The information that the third-party developer receives (if it receives any at all) depends on the features and functions of the application it provides. In some cases, application developers receive no personal data. In others, the developer receives the personal data only to provide services to the merchants that use their applications. In still other cases, the application developer uses personal data for its own purposes.

Compliance with laws and law enforcement; protection and safety

Company may disclose information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as required by law, and disclose and use such information as we believe necessary or appropriate to (a) comply with applicable laws and lawful requests and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities; (b) enforce the terms and conditions that govern our products and services; (d) protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of you or others; and (e) protect, investigate and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity.

Business transfers

Company may sell or transfer some or all of its business or assets, including your personal data, in connection with a business transaction (or potential business transaction) such as a merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy, in which case we will make reasonable efforts to require the recipient to honor this Privacy Policy.

To other parties with your permission or to fulfill a contract they have with you

Company may transfer your personal data to any third party who is not otherwise covered by the other listed categories above where you have given us permission to do so, or with whom you have entered into a contract when we need to transfer your personal data to that party in order to fulfil that contract.

Data Retention

Company retains personal information for as long as necessary to (a) provide our products and services; (b) comply with legal obligations; (c) resolve disputes; and (d) enforce the terms of any agreement we may have with you. You may contact us via the contact us details provided below for additional information about our data retention practices in connection with the Service.
