Customer Data
Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal data. A “controller” determines the purposes and means (or the why and the how) of processing personal data. A “processor,” which is sometimes referred to as a “service provider,” processes personal data on behalf of a controller subject to contractual restrictions.
As part of our business relationship with our customers, we are often asked to receive, gather, store, analyze, or otherwise process information, which may include personal data, on behalf of our customers. We refer to this type of information and personal data as “customer data.” When we process customer data, we generally act as a processor. This means we process customer data on behalf of our customers subject to restrictions set forth in our contracts with them.
This Privacy Notice does not cover or address how we or our customers process customer data in connection with our role as our customers’ processor. Instead, this Privacy Notice only covers our processing of personal data in our capacity as a controller. In addition, we are generally not permitted to respond to individual requests relating to customer data. As a result, we recommend referring to the privacy notice of the organization with which you have a relationship for information on how they engage processors, like us, to process customer data on their behalf.
Region-Specific Disclosures

We provide additional disclosures for residents of the States of California, Nevada, and Virginia in the U.S. here.
-
We provide important information for individuals located in the European Union, European Economic Area, and United Kingdom (collectively, “Europe” or “European”) in the Notice to European Users here.

Notice to European Users
The information provided in this “Notice to European Users” section applies only to individuals in Europe.
Personal data. References to “personal data” in this Notice to European Users are equivalent to “personal data” governed by European data protection legislation.
Processor. PSN is the processor of your personal data covered by this Notice to European Users for purposes of European data protection legislation.
Processing Purpose
Details regarding each processing purpose listed below are provided in the section above titled "How we use your personal information."
To operate the Services
● For research and development
● To send you marketing and promotional communications
● To display advertisements
● To manage our recruiting and process employment applications
To comply with law
With your consent
Legal Basis
Processing is necessary to perform the contract governing our provision of the Services or to take steps requested by our customers, merchants, software providers, or partners prior to signing up for the Services. If we have not entered into a contract with you, we process your personal data based on our legitimate interest in providing the Services.
These activities constitute our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal information for these activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).
Processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
Processing is based on your consent. Where we rely on your consent you have the right to withdraw it any time in the manner indicated when you consent or in the Services.
Use for new purposes. We may use your personal data for reasons not described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law and the reason is compatible with the purpose for which we collected it. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the applicable legal basis.
Sensitive personal data. We ask that you not provide us with any sensitive personal data (e.g., information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the Services, or otherwise to us.
If you provide us with any sensitive personal data to us when you use the Services, you must consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal data, you must not submit such sensitive personal data through our Services.
Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
When we no longer require the personal data we have collected about you, unless prohibited byapplicable law, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. If we anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you), we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Information for Visitors from Outside of the United States
We are located in the United States, where the laws may be different and, in some cases, less protective than the laws of other countries. By providing us with your Personal data and using the Services, you acknowledge that your Personal data will be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where we and our vendors operate. If we receive or transfer your personal data from Europe or Switzerland to a third country and are required to apply additional safeguards to your personal data under European data protection legislation, we use good faith efforts to do so.

What are cookies?
A “cookie” is a string of information which assigns you a unique identifier that we store on your computer. Your browser then provides that unique identifier to us each time you submit a query to the Sites. We use cookies on the Sites to, among other things, keep track of services you have used, record registration information, record your user preferences, keep you logged into the Sites, and track the pages you visit. Cookies help us understand how the Sites are being used and help us improve your user experience.
What types of cookies and similar tracking technologies does PSN use on the Sites?
Our 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).
More specifically, the following types of cookies may be used when you visit the Sites:
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies are placed on your computer by advertisers and ad servers in order to display advertisements that are most likely to be of interest to you. These cookies allow advertisers and ad servers to gather information about your visits to the Sites and other websites, alternate the ads sent to a specific computer, and track how often an ad has been viewed and by whom. These cookies are linked to a computer and do not gather any personal data about you.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies monitor how users reached the Sites, and how they interact with and move around once on the Sites. These cookies let us know what features on the Sites are working the best and what features on the Sites can be improved.
Our Cookies
Our cookies are “first-party cookies” and can be either permanent or temporary. These are necessary cookies, without which the Sites may not work properly or be able to provide certain features and functionalities. Some of these may be manually disabled in your browser but disabling these cookies may affect the functionality of the Sites.
Personalization Cookies
Personalization cookies are used to recognize repeat visitors to the Sites. We use these cookies to record your browsing history, the pages you have visited, and your settings and preferences each time you visit the Sites.
Security Cookies
Security cookies help identify and prevent security risks. We use these cookies to authenticate users and protect user data from unauthorized parties..

Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies may be placed on your computer by our service providers and business partners when you visit the Site. These cookies allow the third parties to gather and track certain information about you. These cookies can be manually disabled in your browser.
Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies on the Sites to help customize the Sites and improve your experience. A “web beacon” or “pixel tag” is a tiny object or image embedded in a web page or email. They are used to track the number of users who have visited particular pages, viewed emails, or to acquire other statistical data. They collect only a limited set of data, such as a cookie number, time and date of page or email view, and a description of the page or email on which they reside. Web beacons and pixel tags cannot be declined. However, you can limit their use by controlling the cookies that interact with them.
In addition to cookies, our Sites may use other technologies, such as Flash technology to collect information automatically.
Third Party Data Collection and Online Advertising. We participate in interest-based advertising and use third-party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We permit third-party online advertising networks, social media companies and other third-party services, to collect information about your use of our online Services over time so that they may play or display ads on the Services, on other websites, or services you may use, and on other devices you may use. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology (collectively, “tracking technologies”), which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including click stream information, browser type, time and date you visited the site, AdID, precise geolocation and other information. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. We may also use services provided by third parties (such as social media platforms) to serve targeted ads to you and others on such platforms. We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider. See “Your Choices About Online Ads” below, to learn more about the choices you may have regarding interest-based advertising.
Google Analytics and Advertising. We use Google Analytics to recognize you and link the devices you use when you visit our websites or Services on your browser or mobile device, log in to your account on the Services, or otherwise engage with us. We share a unique identifier, like a user ID or hashed email address, with Google to facilitate the service. Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our users interact with the Services and to tailor our advertisements and content to you. For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google’s site “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Ad-On here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Your Choices About Online Ads
We support the self-regulatory principles for online behavioral advertising (Principles) published by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). This means that we allow you to exercise choice regarding the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites for online interest-based advertising purposes. More information about these Principles can be found at www.aboutads.info. If you want to opt out of receiving online interest-based advertisements on your internet browser from advertisers and third parties that participate in the DAA program and perform advertising-related services for us and our partners, please follow the instructions at www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ to place an opt-out cookie on your device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertisements. Opt-out cookies only work on the internet browser and device they are downloaded onto. If you want to opt out of interest-based advertisements across all your browsers and devices, you will need to opt out on each browser on each device you actively use. If you delete cookies on your device generally, you will need to opt out again. If you want to opt out of receiving online interest-based advertisements on mobile apps, please follow the instructions at http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices.
Cookie Management and the Right to Opt Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Data for Targeted Advertising Purposes
For California, Nevada, and Virginia Residents: Unless you have exercised your Right to Opt Out (as described in the “Your Privacy Choices” section of our Additional U.S. Privacy Disclosures), we may “sell” or “share” your personal data to third parties for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. The third parties to whom we sell or share personal data may use such information for their own purposes in accordance with their own privacy statements, which may include reselling or sharing this information to additional third parties.
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your Right to Opt Out. However, we may ask you to provide additional personal data so that we can properly identify you in our dataset and to track compliance with your opt-out request. We will only use personal data provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. If you chose not to provide this information, we may only be able to process your request to the extent we are able to identify you in our data systems.
To exercise your right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal data as it relates to the use of cookies and other tracking technologies for analytics and targeted ads, email psnprivacy@paymentservicenetwork.com.
Once you make an opt-out request, you may change your mind and opt-in at any time by returning to this Cookie Policy and clicking the above link or contacting us at our email address below.
In addition, by visiting www.privacyrights.info or www.optout.privacyrights.info/?c=1, you can opt out from sales and sharing of this type of personal data by businesses that participate in the DAA’s CCPA App-based Opt-Out Tool. To make opt-out requests related to mobile apps on your device for businesses participating in the opt out tool, you can download the appropriate app at https://www.privacyrights.info/appchoices. Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our online Services. It means that the online ads that you do see from DAA program participants should not be based on your interests. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, third parties may still use cookies to collect information about your use of our online Services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the DAA’s Principles.
