TiFiPay, Inc. (“TiFiPay,” “we,” or “us”) wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information. This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information that we collect through our website at www.tifipay.com (the “Website”) and our mobile application (the “App”). Collectively, we refer to the Website and the App as the “Services.”
PERSONAL INFORMATION
“Personal Information” is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual. The Services collect Personal Information, including:
● Name
● Telephone number
● Email address
● Payment card data
● Bank account data
● Username/password when you sign up to use TiFiPay
● Information on the bills that you choose to provide to TiFiPay or allow TiFiPay to collect or access on your behalf

We use a third party payment service to process payments made through the Services. If you choose to make a payment through the Services, your payment-related data will be collected directly by the third party payment service rather than by us and will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy.

● Providing the functionality of the Services and facilitating your bill payment
− To facilitate your bill payments, maintain your account with us, and provide you with related customer service.

● Analyzing Personal Information for business reporting and providing personalized services
− To analyze or predict our users’ preferences in order to prepare aggregated trend reports on how our digital content is used, so we can improve our Services.

● Allowing you to participate in sweepstakes, contests or other promotions
− We may offer you the opportunity to participate in a sweepstakes, contest or other promotion. Some of these promotions have additional rules containing information about how we will use and disclose your Personal Information. Please read those additional rules before choosing to participate.
● Aggregating and/or anonymizing Personal Information
− We may aggregate and/or anonymize Personal Information so that it will no longer be considered Personal Information. We do so to generate other data for our use, which we may use and disclose for any purpose, as it no longer identifies you or any other individual.
● Accomplishing our business purposes.
− For our business purposes, such as data analysis, security, identity verification, audits, fraud monitoring and prevention, developing new products, improving or modifying our Services, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, and operating and expanding business activities. If you disclose any Personal Information relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose Personal Information:
● To our third party service providers, to facilitate services they provide to us, such as website and app hosting, data analysis, payment processing, order fulfillment, information technology and related infrastructure provision, customer service, email delivery, auditing, and other services.
● To our third-party business partners, such as financial institutions, processors, payment card associations, and other entities that are involved in the payment process.
● To third party sponsors of sweepstakes, contests, and similar promotions.
● Through your social sharing activity. When you connect your Services account to your social media account, you will share information with your friends associated with your social media account, with other users, and with your social media account provider. By doing so, you authorize us to facilitate this sharing of information, and you understand that the use of shared information will be governed by the social media provider’s privacy policy.
Other Uses and Disclosures
We may also use and disclose Personal Information as we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) to comply with applicable law, to respond to requests from public and government authorities, to cooperate with law enforcement, or for other legal reasons; (b) to enforce our terms and conditions; and (c) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of you, or others. We may use, disclose or transfer your Personal Information to a third party in connection with any proposed or actual reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
