Purpose

AppConnect.io ("us", "we", or "our") provides services and develops software to help merchants sell better or more efficiently online through various platforms. AppConnect.io has adopted this Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") to guide you through the collection, use, retention, and disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information ("Personal Data", as further described below) that you may provide while using AppConnect websites, apps, and services in connection with these platforms (referred to as "Services").

By using the Services, you consent to the collection, use, retention, and disclosure of your Personal Data for processing as described in, and subject to the limitations set out in this Privacy Policy.


Personal Data

Personal Data is any information that would identify a person directly, or indirectly in combination with data from other sources. For example, a full name, home or work address, phone number, email address, banking details, IP address, biometric data, usage data, or any information that may individually identify a person.

We may collect Personal Data including without limitation your name, email address, IP address, and device identifiers and/or geolocation information, in the course of its Services, and may use or disclose that Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy.


Consent and Collection of Personal Data

If you use our website, or conduct a transaction through our Service where Personal Data is essential, your consent is implied to collect and use your Personal Data to facilitate that use or complete that transaction requested or initiated by you only. Examples of instances in which Personal Data may be collected by AppConnect.io are, without limitation:

If at any point you wish to withdraw consent to Personal Data collection, please contact us.. Please note that certain Services may only be able to be offered or provided to you if you disclose the Personal Data necessary to facilitate those Services, and therefore we may not be able to provide you with certain Services in the event that you choose not to disclose that Personal Data to us.


Anonymous Information

When you interact with our Service, similar to most other websites, apps, and online services, certain anonymous technical information about your visit is automatically logged and collected by us. This may include information about the type of browser you use, operating system, the date and time you access the Service, the links you accessed while using the Service, and the internet address of the website, if any, which linked directly to us. This information is used for system administration purposes such as diagnosing problems with servers and websites, compiling aggregated and statistical information, and to improve the operation and content of our websites and Services. It is not personally identifiable, and is not considered Personal Data and subject to this Privacy Policy.


Personal Data Use

AppConnect.io may use collected Personal Data for such purposes as:

Once collected, we will store and process your Personal Data in secure locations. We may transmit data outside of Australia for the purposes of processing and executing transactions related to the Services, or for the purpose of executing transactions on behalf of merchants that have installed and make use of our Apps in connection with their online stores. Where this transmission occurs, the security measures outlined in this Privacy Policy will continue to apply.

Consent as a Basis for Processing

In some cases, we will ask for your consent to process your Personal Data. You may indicate your consent in a number of ways, including, as may be presented by us and permitted by law, ticking a box (or equivalent action) to indicate your consent when providing us with your Personal Data through our Services or a form, or registering or creating an account with us. Note that certain country/region-specific rules regarding consent may also apply, depending upon the jurisdiction in which you reside.


Security

AppConnect.io maintains reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to minimize the risk of unauthorized loss, theft, copying, misuse, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your Personal Data.

If transactions are offered as part of our Service, transaction information is transmitted to and from AppConnect.io in encrypted form using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections to help protect such information, including Personal Data transmitted in the course of these transactions, from interception.

AppConnect.io also restricts access to your Personal Information to only those persons who have a legitimate business need or legal requirement to view it in connection with the Services. You, as a Personal Data owner, may also authorize any persons you may choose to have access to your Personal Data.

Although AppConnect.io does utilize security measures appropriate to the level of risk, no method of data transfer or storage on the internet is 100% secure and security risks cannot be eliminated entirely. As such, we cannot guarantee perfect security, integrity, or confidentiality of Personal Data.

Disclosure of Personal Data

We may use unaffiliated companies, or trusted third party service providers, to help maintain and operate our Services for reasons related to our business operations and to better serve you, and those companies may receive your Personal Data for that purpose. For example, we may use third party payment processor services in connection with the Services and its websites, and the payment information that you provide to us may be disclosed to and used by these payment processors for the purposes of completing and executing transactions requested or initiated by you. When AppConnect.io shares Personal Data with third-party services that support our delivery of the Services, we require that they use your Personal Data only for the purposes we've authorized, and that they protect your Personal Data to at least the same standards used by us.

As part of agreements with merchants who have installed our apps and the execution of transactions on behalf of merchants that make use of our apps in connection with their online stores, we may disclose Personal Data which has been collected by us that is specific to that merchant's store and your transactions in connection therewith.

We may also disclose Personal Data about you in connection with legal requirements, such as in response to an authorized subpoena, governmental request or investigation, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to protect our legal rights, property, or the safety of AppConnect.io, its employees, users or others).

If you believe your Personal Data has been disclosed other than as described in this Privacy Policy, please contact us.
