Effective Date: 2024-08-23
Company Name values and safeguards the personal information provided by its users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, store, and disclose various data related to you when delivering Maxmerce (hereinafter “the Service”). This Policy applies to all websites and mobile applications developed by our company and its affiliated businesses (collectively, “the Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by this Policy; if you do not agree with any part of it, please discontinue using the Service immediately. We strongly recommend that you read and understand this Policy in full before engaging in any interactions or transactions.
1. Intended Audience for the Service
Our services are primarily intended for enterprise users, offering enterprise-level features and security, but individual users are also welcome to register and use our services. To provide a unified service, we treat all personal information processed under this Privacy Policy, including information from website visitors, as representing actions on behalf of a business or organization, rather than purely personal use.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Personal Information
“Personal information” means any data that can be used, either directly or indirectly, to identify an individual (which in some instances may include device information). This may include, but is not limited to:
- Your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and other basic identification details;
- Internet Protocol (IP) address, device identifiers, and browser characteristics;
- Third-party account information that you voluntarily provide for integration and analysis.
We collect such Personal Information for purposes including account creation, login, payment processing, and customer support. Additionally, this information may be used to maintain communication with you, deliver analytical insights, or offer you services and features that may be of interest.
We collect Personal Information by the following means:
- Registration and Interaction: When you register for an account, purchase services, participate in promotions or events on our website, or submit information during online chats or email correspondence;
- External Sources: We may also obtain certain Personal Information from third-party sources, including data brokers and information aggregation services.
2.2 Usage Data
“Usage Data” refers to various types of information automatically or passively collected as you use the Service, typically retained in an anonymous form and not directly linked to your personal identity. Such data may be derived from:
- Tracking technologies (such as cookies, web beacons, page tags, local storage objects, and mobile device identifiers) used to record login sessions or personalize your experience;
- User behavior data including IP address, browser type, mobile device identifier, Internet Service Provider (ISP), operating system, frequency of visits, click paths, access times, and duration of visits;
- Interaction data from social media, third-party platforms, applications, or integrated services (e.g., clicks and views related to emails, advertisements, and social interactions).
This Usage Data is collected through various analytical and reporting techniques—either passively or automatically without your active submission—to help us understand how users interact with our platform and to continuously improve the Service.
What Are Cookies?
When you access our mobile application via a computer, we may place “cookies” on your computer to identify it. Cookies are identifiers transmitted to your computer or mobile device that enable us to recognize your browser or device, ascertain how and when pages and features of the Service are accessed, and track the number of visitors. You may change your browser or mobile device settings to block or restrict cookies, but this may prevent you from using certain features of the Service. Additionally, if you click on a link to a third-party website, that third party may also send cookies. You hereby acknowledge that this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties.
2.3 Customer Data
In order to provide our Service, and with your consent (for example, by linking any third-party platform to your Maxmerce account, which constitutes your authorization), we may collect and process relevant Customer Data. For further details, please refer to the “Customer Data” section in our Terms of Service. You represent and warrant that all Customer Data has been collected by you in accordance with your own privacy policies and all applicable laws. Please note that the privacy policies and liability of third-party platforms are beyond the direct control of Company Name.
