At BillMari, we understand how important privacy is to our members and partners. That’s why we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of all personal information. We collect only what we need to provide a secure service, and we don’t share your personal information with any third parties except to ensure the safety, quality and certain aspects of our service, compliance with laws and regulations, and the security of you, our members and our partners.
Your privacy is an essential factor that BillMari considers in the development of its systems. This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures in general of BillMari on the collection, use and disclosure of your information including any personal information as used on BillMari.
Personal Information here means information which identifies you, like your name or email address. Any information that falls out of this is non-personal information.
In the event we store personal information with information that is non-personal, we will consider the combination as personal information. If we remove all personal information in a set of data, then the remaining is non-personal information.
We collect information about you when:
- You give it to us directly for example when you register or choose to transact through our system.
- When we try and understand more about you based on information, you’ve given us, for example, using your IP address to facilitate the collection of data concerning your interaction with the services.
- We collect it automatically through our services that make use of technologies such as cookies.
- When someone else tells us information about you.
The information we collect helps us personalise, improve and operate services. You may as well voluntarily provide additional information about yourself to enhance service delivery. We store the information you provide about yourself to make available services and information you request.
Unless otherwise described below, we will not use personal information provided to us for purposes other than those you have requested without also providing you with an opportunity to agree to or otherwise limit such uses.
We may collect the following types of information from our users some of which will be personal information and some of which will be non-personal:
Financial Information
We use third-party payment processing companies ("Payment Processors") who collect and store financial information, such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information), and their use and storage of that information is governed by the Payment Processors' applicable terms of service and Privacy Policy. Collected billing information is used to process billing payments and fraud detection.
