Subscribfy Privacy Policy
Effective: June 21, 2023
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Subscribfy, Inc. (“Subscribfy,” “we,” “our,” “us”) collects, uses, and discloses certain personal information obtained through our website (“Site”), which is located at https://subscribfy.com/, and mobile application (“App”), as well as information that we process as part of offering you our services (collectively with the Site and App, the “Services”). By using our Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Policy.
What Information We Collect and Maintain About You
We collect personal information from several types of individuals and entities:
Merchants that use our Services to enable and manage subscriptions (“Merchants”);
Merchants’ customers (“Subscribers”); and
Other visitors to the Site and users of the App.
For clarity, this Policy uses the word “you” to refer to any of the above individuals or entities.
We collect personal and other information from you directly when you provide it to us through the Services. We also automatically collect certain information about you and your computer, smartphone, or other device when you use, access, or interact with the Services. We may also collect information from third parties in relation to providing you the Services.
Our Services are primarily intended for use by Merchants. Where our Services are made available to Subscribers, we collect personal information on behalf of relevant Merchants. In addition, a Merchant’s store may be hosted on an e-commerce platform. Both individual Merchants and e-commerce platforms may have privacy policies and practices that differ from those described in this Policy.
Personal information collected from Merchant accountholders. If you make an account with us in relation to our Services, we will collect information from you related to maintaining your account. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and reason for engaging our Services. We may also collect information about you from third parties in relation to our Services.
Personal information collected from Subscribers. If you commercially interact with a Merchant, we may collect information from you related to providing our Services, including identifiers (such as name, email address, shipping address, and billing address) and commercial information (such as payment information and purchase history). We do not collect full payment information (e.g., full credit card numbers) but may process this type of information through our third-party service providers.
Other personal information collected through the Site. You can visit the Site without submitting any information that we can use to identify you personally. However, to use certain features on the Site, such as the “Contact” feature, you will be required to provide personal information. Such information could include, for example, your name and email address.
Web log data. When you use the Services, we automatically receive and record certain information from your computer (or other device) and your browser. This may include such data as your IP address and domain name, the pages you visit on the Services, the date and time of your visit, the files that you download, the URLs from the websites you visit before and after navigating to the Services, your software and hardware attributes (including device IDs), your general geographic location (e.g., your city, state, or metropolitan region), and certain cookie information (see below). To obtain such information, we may use web logs or applications that recognize your computer and gather information about its online activity.
Cookies. We use cookies on the Services. Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by your web browser. A cookie allows the Services to recognize whether you have visited before and may store user preferences and other information. For example, cookies can be used to collect or store information about your use of the Services during your current session and over time (including the pages you view and the files you download), your computer’s operating system and browser type, your Internet service provider, your domain name and IP address, your general geographic location, the website that you visited before visiting the Services, and the link you used to leave the Services. If you are concerned about having cookies on your computer, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete cookies from your computer. However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of the Services may not operate correctly.
Web beacons. The Services or the emails that you receive from Subscribfy may use an application known as a “web beacon” (also known as a “clear gif” or “web bug”). A web beacon is an electronic file that usually consists of a single-pixel image. It can be embedded in a web page or in an email to transmit information, which could include personal information. For example, it can allow an email sender to determine whether a user has opened a particular email.
Third-party partnerships. We may partner with certain third parties to collect, analyze, and use the personal and other information described in this section. For example, we may allow third parties to set cookies or use web beacons on the Services or in email communications from us. This information may be used for a variety of purposes, as discussed below (see the section entitled “With Whom and Why We Share Your Information”).

External Links
The Services may contain links to third-party websites. If you use these links, you will leave the Services. We have not reviewed these third-party sites and do not control and are not responsible for any of these sites, their contents, or their privacy policies. Thus, we do not endorse or make any representations about them, or any information, software, or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third-party sites listed on our website, you do so at your own risk.
Data Security
We employ physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the personal information we collect online. However, no website or service is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to the Services or to us, and you transmit such information at your own risk.
Data Retention
We retain personal information about you necessary to fulfill the purpose for which that information was collected or as required or permitted by law. We do not retain personal information longer than is necessary for us to achieve the purposes for which we collected it. When we destroy your personal information, we do so in a way that prevents that information from being restored or reconstructed.

Subscribfy may subcontract the processing of your data to, or otherwise share your data with, affiliates or third parties in the United States or countries other than your country of residence. The data protection laws in these countries may be different from, and less stringent than, those in your country of residence. By using the Services or by providing any personal or other information to us, you expressly consent to such transfer and processing.
