This policy applies to any individual who is the subject of and owns any Personal Data that we collect when you access, register and/or use STORE CREDITS EXTRA software or otherwise interact with STORE CREDITS EXTRA in any manner described below.

1. Information STORE CREDITS EXTRA Collects
Through our Services, we collect Customer Data:
Merchants,
Customers,
from visitors to our Websites, and
through other internal and external business partners.
Our Hosted Service is primarily intended for use by Merchants. Where our Hosted Service is made available to Customers, we collect Customer Data on behalf of relevant Merchants. Under those circumstances, the Merchant is the data controller of their Customer Data and must have an accurate privacy policy that complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Customers should contact that Merchant with questions or requests regarding their Customer Data, as the Merchants’ privacy practices may differ from this Privacy Policy. Additionally, Merchants’ stores may be hosted on e-commerce platforms. Where this is the case, you may also want to read the e-commerce platform’s terms of service and privacy policy. If you are a Customer, you should contact your relevant Merchant with any questions or requests regarding your Customer Data.
STORE CREDITS EXTRA collects the email addresses of people who send us emails. We also collect information on what pages Merchants access and information provided to us by Merchants via surveys and the Registration Process. Such information may contain Personal Data about you, including your address, phone numbers, and credit card numbers.
The types of information we may collect from Merchants and their respective Subscribers are as follows:
Contact Information: Including phone number, email, and physical addresses;
Customer Identifiers: Names, email addresses, shipping addresses, and billing addresses to provide our Hosted Service. For example, to receive, process, and manage Merchants’ subscription orders.
Account Information: Usernames, passwords, and account preferences;
Website & Usage Information: Activity on the STORE CREDITS EXTRA hosted websites, including how and when Merchants visit, browsing history, and your network information (such as the IP address). For details about how we use cookies and other tracking technologies, please see section 3.4 - Cookies below.
Network Information: Computer and network traffic information for security and anti-fraud purposes, including identifying and blocking fraudulent connections and enabling user authentications and role authorizations.
2. Sources of Personal Data
Where requested, or when Merchants configure the application to collect such data from customers. In the preceding twelve (12) months since this notice was last updated, we have collected data from the following categories of sources:
E-commerce platforms;
Our Service and products;
Merchants;
Business partners;
Advertising partners.
When you complete the Registration Process for the Hosted Service, we ask for your name, company name, email address.
3. Data Use.
3.1 Services. STORE CREDITS EXTRA will not disclose Personal Data without that Merchant's written permission. However, certain Personal Data collected from you, and about you, is used within the context of providing the Hosted Service to you.
STORE CREDITS EXTRA uses Personal Data to authorize Merchants' access to STORE CREDITS EXTRA services, to provide customer support, to manage Merchants' accounts, and send Merchants technical notices, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages. STORE CREDITS EXTRA may share your Personal Data in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of STORE CREDITS EXTRA's Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.
STORE CREDITS EXTRA may also carry out any other purpose for which the data was collected, to the extent such purpose is necessarily contemplated by the collection of such information or as otherwise notified in the Hosted Service at the time of collection.
STORE CREDITS EXTRA uses 3rd party services to help us provide the Hosted Service effectively (e.g. maintenance, analysis, audit, transactions, archiving, and marketing and development). These 3rd party services will have access to Merchants’ Personal Data as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on the behalf of STORE CREDITS EXTRA and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
STORE CREDITS EXTRA utilizes 3rd party services to store all information regarding Merchants' actions on their account for the purpose of reconstructing the Hosted Service should STORE CREDITS EXTRA have a system crash resulting in loss of data.
3.2 Communications. STORE CREDITS EXTRA will avail itself of Merchants’ email addresses to get in contact with those Merchants.
As part of the buying and selling process on the Hosted Service, the Merchants from which you are purchasing a product or service will receive your email address and/or shipping address. With respect to your Personal Data, STORE CREDITS EXTRA grants a license to that Merchant to use the information only for Hosted Service-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages.
3.3 Advertising. STORE CREDITS EXTRA targets, and measures the performance of, ads to Merchants, visitors and others both on and off the Hosted Service directly or through a variety of partners. STORE CREDITS EXTRA is using data from advertising technologies on and off the Hosted service, like cookies and session information.
3.4 Cookies. A cookie is a small amount of data, including an anonymous unique identifier. Sites may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them). Cookies are sent to your browser from a Web site and stored on your computer's hard drive. We assign every computer that accesses our Web site a different cookie.
We use two categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Sites; and (2) third-party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our Sites, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third-party cookies can be used for various purposes, including site analytics, advertising, and social media features.
On our Sites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies in the following categories described below.
Necessary - These cookies are required to allow the technical operation of our Services (e.g. they enable you to move around on a website and to use its features).
WordPress - https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/;
Google - https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Targeting - Advertising companies use these cookies to collect information about how you use our Sites and other websites over time. These companies use this information to show you ads they believe will be relevant to you within our Services and elsewhere and to measure how the ads perform.
LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy;
Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/;
Microsoft - https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.
Cookies can be used to track Merchants' and visitors' sessions on our Web site and to serve customized ads from Google and other 3rd party vendors. When you visit this Web site, you may view advertisements posted on the site by Google or other 3rd parties. Through 1st party and 3rd party cookies, these 3rd parties may collect information about you while you are visiting this Web site and other Web sites. They may use this data to show you advertisements on this Web site and across the Internet based on your prior visits to this Web site and elsewhere on the Internet. We do not collect this information or control the content of the advertisements that you will see.
We use a service provided by Google called Google Analytics ("GA"). GA permits us to reach people who have previously visited our site and show them relevant advertisements when they visit other sites across the Internet in the Google Display Network. This is often called ‘re-marketing'.
For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit https://www.allaboutcookies.org. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in using our Sites. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device, and you may need to log in every time you visit our Sites.
3.5 Other Technologies. In addition to cookies, our Sites may use other technologies, such as Flash technology to pixel tags to collect information automatically.
Browser Web Storage - We may use browser web storage (including via HTML5), also known as locally stored objects (“LSOs”), for similar purposes as cookies. Browser web storage enables the storage of a more significant amount of data than cookies. Your web browser may provide the functionality to clear your browser’s web storage.
Flash Technology - We may use Flash cookies (which are also known as Flash Local Shared Objects (“Flash LSOs”)) on our Sites to collect and store information about your use of our Sites. Unlike other cookies, Flash cookies cannot be removed or rejected via your browser settings. If you do not want Flash LSOs stored on your computer or mobile device, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash LSO storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash LSOs by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions. Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including Flash applications used in connection with our Sites.
Web Beacons - We may also use web beacons (known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our Sites and in our HTML-formatted emails to track Merchants’ and visitors’ actions on our Sites and interactions with our emails. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML-formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about usage of the Sites, so that we can manage our content more effectively.
3.6 Managing Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies. You can control and manage cookies and similar tracking technologies in various ways. Please remember that removing or blocking cookies and similar tracking technologies can negatively impact your user experience, and parts of our Sites may no longer be fully accessible. Your options for controlling what information cookies and similar tracking technologies collect about you include the following:
Opt-out of customized Google ads by visiting the Ads Preferences Manager (https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/), and the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996;
Opt-out of re-marketing by using the NAI Consumer Opt-Out service: https://optout.networkadvertising.org;
Opt-out of receiving targeted advertising in mobile apps through participating members of the Digital Advertising Alliance by installing the AppChoices mobile app: https://youradchoices.com/appchoices;
Opt-out of Microsoft Bing cookies here: https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/signedout;
Opt-out of LinkedIn cookies here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy;
Opt-out of Meta/Facebook cookies here: https://m.facebook.com/policy/cookies.
Your mobile device settings may provide additional functionality to limit the use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.
Your use of the STORE CREDITS EXTRA website without opting out means that you understand and agree to data collection to provide you with re-marketing ads using GA and cookies from other 3rd party vendors based on your prior visits to this website and elsewhere on the Internet. Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms linked above.

Delete Data: You can request deletion of some or all of your Personal Data that STORE CREDITS EXTRA has access to. STORE CREDITS EXTRA will delete all data except that for which it has a legal obligation to retain.
