Espressly User Privacy Policy

Espressly ("Espressly", "we", "our", or "us"), develops and supports mobile applications and websites that enable Restaurants (including Coffee Shops) to provide Services to its customers, including, without limitation, mobile payment, ordering, Loyalty Programs, and customer support services.

This Espressly User Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to all the websites and mobile applications offered by Espressly (including those offered by third parties integrated to the Espressly platform), and all related features, functionality, and services now or in the future that reference this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy explains how Espressly collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you create a Espressly User Account or otherwise use the Services we provide on behalf of a Restaurant or Coffee Shop. If you are interacting with a Restaurant that uses Espressly to power its App and/or websites, and has linked to this Privacy Policy, it applies to you.

Please note: This Privacy Policy does not cover or address the privacy practices of Restaurants. Restaurants are independent third parties that maintain their own business practices and policies outside of their relationship with Espressly and their use of the Services. Accordingly, we are not responsible for the Restaurant’s independent collection, use or disclosure of your personal information outside of the Services we provide. For more information, please contact the Restaurant directly or refer to the Restaurant’s own privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy also does not cover or address the data collection and use practices of the Espressly-branded website or its business-to-business marketing activities, the privacy practices relating to the personal information of job applicants, employees and other personnel. Please refer to those separate websites for applicable privacy policies.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree that you have read, understood and agree to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our User Terms of Service.

1. Personal Information We Collect

When you create a Espressly User Account, pay using Espressly, join a Loyalty Program, or otherwise communicate or interact with us, we may collect information from you, such as your name, birthday, gender, age, dietary preferences, phone number, location, payment information, and email address. We use this contact and profile information to: (i) create, verify, and personalize your Espressly User Account; (ii) communicate with you directly about the Services as well as about any questions, issues, or concerns you or other Users may have; (iii) fulfill your order; and (iv) send you marketing communications in accordance with the preferences you elect in setting up your User Account.
• Payment Information. When you submit an order, you are required to provide payment information, such as your credit card, debit card, gift card details, or any other Payment Instrument. We use this information to fulfill your order, complete the transaction, and detect and prevent fraud or abuse.
• Transaction Information. When you submit an order, we collect information, including the items purchased, date, time, and location of your transaction, special instructions, and points you accrue or User Credit or promotions you redeem as part of a Loyalty Program. We also generate a QR code based on the payment information you provide. We use this transaction information to fulfill your order, update your User Credits, detect and prevent fraud, personalize your experience, perform analytics/identify usage trends, and inform our advertising and marketing campaigns.
• Communications, Participation and Other Content. We maintain all communications resulting from your interactions with us by email, phone, mail, or chat. We also record comments and opinions you express when responding to surveys, entering a sweepstakes, or taking part in promotions we help to run. We use all of the foregoing communications to address your questions, issues, and concerns, and to improve our Services.
• Other Information You Provide. With your permission, we may access your photos or contact list from your mobile device, Facebook Messenger account or email account to enable you to share content or promotions or invite your friends to connect with our Services, including through our friend referral program.
• Chat Support. Espressly Merchant app integrated third party API (https://www.tawk.to) for chat support. The camera is enabled so users can submit images in our chat support. This helps us to manage apps and to ensure quality ordering.

1.2. Personal Information Generated and/or Automatically Collected During Your Use of The Platform:

• Information About Your Device and Its Software. Information about your device and its software includes your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, device type/model/manufacturer, operating system, date and time stamp, and a unique ID that allows us to identify your browser, mobile device, or your User Account (including, for example, a persistent device identifier or an Ad ID), identifiers of beacons communicated to Espressly, and other similar information. We may use this device and software information to diagnose and fix technology problems, serve you personalized advertising, personalize your experience, perform analytics/identify usage trends, and improve our products and Services.
• Information About The Way You Access and Use Our Services. For example, information about the way you access and use our Services include the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave. In addition, we track the pages you visit on our Apps, the links you click on our Apps, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails that we send, and other actions you take on the Services. We may also use the information about the way you access and use our Services to determine products and services that may be of interest to you, to improve our products and services, to evaluate the success of our advertising and marketing campaigns, and to send you marketing communications.
• Analytics Information. We may collect analytics data or use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help us measure traffic and usage trends and the demographics of our users in order to improve our Services. You can learn more about Google's practices at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
• Location Information. We collect information about your location for the purpose of providing the Services. For example, we use location information to customize content on our Apps, provide you with information about nearby Restaurants, show you relevant promotions, facilitate order and delivery services, detect and prevent fraud, and measure traffic and analytics related to the Service. We may collect location through GPS, WiFi, wireless network triangulation or other methods, or we may also approximate your location by your IP address. If you have previously opted into our collection and use of location-based information through our Apps, you may opt-out by adjusting the settings on your mobile device. We also use the Google Maps API to gather information about your location. Google uses various technologies to determine your location, including IP address, GPS and other sensors that may, for example, provide Google with information on nearby devices, WiFi access points and cell towers (see Google Maps privacy policy and the https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps/ to learn more).

We typically collect the foregoing information through a variety of tracking technologies, including cookies, Flash objects, web beacons, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology (collectively, “tracking technologies”), and we may use third-party partners or services to assist with this effort. Information we collect automatically about you or your device may be combined with other personal information we collect directly. For information about our and our third-party partners’ use of cookies and related technologies to collect information automatically and choices you may have in relation to its collection, please see our “THIRD-PARTY TRACKING AND ONLINE ADVERTISING” further below.

We, or the third-party partners we use, may use the data collected automatically through tracking technologies to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Apps; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) provide and monitor the effectiveness of our Services; (e) perform analytics and detect usage patterns on our Services; (f) diagnose or fix technology problems; (g) detect or prevent fraud or other harmful activities, and (h) otherwise plan for and enhance our Services and for other internal purposes.

1.3. Data From Other Sources:

• Information We Receive From Third-Party Sites You Connect to The Services. We may receive personal information about you from third parties and combine that with information we collect through the Services. For example, we may obtain information when you login through a third-party social network or authentication service, such as Facebook or Google. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us, which could include your name, email address, gender, address book and contacts, or other information. The data we receive from these third-party sites is dependent upon that third party’s policies and your privacy settings on that third-party site.
• Information We Receive From Affiliates or Third Parties. From time to time, we may receive information about you from our Restaurant partners, from co-marketing partners, service providers, and from other third parties. We may also collect information about you that is publicly available. We may receive additional information about you, such as fraud detection information, from third-party partners and combine it with other information that we have about you. We use this information from affiliates or third parties to create your User Accounts, to contact you, to send you advertising or promotional materials or to personalize our services, to protect against bot attacks and account takeovers, and to better understand the demographics and interests of our Users.

We do not control, supervise or respond to how the third parties providing your information process your personal information, and any information request regarding the disclosure of your personal information to us should be directed to such third parties.
