Introduction

This Privacy Policy is intended to help you better understand how we collect, use and store your personal information—whether you are a merchant or customers that uses BeonCo’s products or services (together, the “Services”), a customer that shops at a store using our technology, or whether you’re simply visiting this website. By using any of BeonCo’s Services, or by dealing with a merchant using BeonCo’s Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and, as applicable, the Terms of Service.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our privacy practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will give you notice of such changes by posting the revised policy on this Website, and where appropriate, by other means. By continuing to use this Website or the Support Service after these changes are posted, you agree to the revised policy.

Information from merchants

If you are a merchant, your customers need to understand how you collect and process their personal information. Accordingly, if you use the Services, you agree to post an up-to-date and accurate privacy policy on your storefront that complies with the laws applicable to your business. You also agree to obtain consent from your customers for the use and access of their personal information by BeonCo and other third parties. In addition, if you are collecting any sensitive personal information from your customers (including information relating to medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or sexuality), you agree to obtain affirmative, express consent from your customers for the use and access of sensitive personal information by BeonCo and other third parties.

Information from customers

What information do we collect from our merchants’ customers and why?

When and why do we share this information with third parties?

• BeonCo works with a variety of third parties and service providers to help provide you with our Services and we may share personal information with them to support these efforts.
