This privacy policy explains how we make use of data and information received from our end users. If not specifically defined herein, capitalized terms have the meaning given to them in the Pay As You Stay Terms and Conditions, which is available at https://www.asyoustay.com/terms (the “Terms”). We respect the right to privacy of end users. Your ability to make informed choices about the use of your information is important to us. This privacy statement explains our policy regarding the collection, use, disclosure and protection of any information we receive.
Information We Collect
In order to receive services and content through PAYS, end users will be required to register and provide us with certain information. Users may be able to register through a third party social networking site such as Facebook. It is your voluntary decision whether to provide us with any such personal information, but if you refuse to provide such information we may not be able to register you to receive our Services. If you register through a third party social network, we will receive information from such social network as per its policies. We also receive certain billing information when transactions are processed. We use third party payment processors that we believe are compliant with PCI-DSS standards. In addition, we collect data concerning the use and viewing of all content available through the PAYS application, which may contain personal information. We may also collect certain technical information automatically, such as your IP address, mobile device or computer, operating system and browser. In addition, we collect any information you provide when you contact us for any reason. You are not required by law to provide us with any such information, but by using the PAYS application and agreeing to the Terms you agree to provide us with such information. We collect your location data, once you opt-in to provide it to us. We may use services such as Google Analytics or other analytics services that provides us with analysis of the use of our application and Services.
How we Use Information
We use all information in order to provide you with our services. We will not share your personally identifiable Information with third parties without your explicit permission, except when required by law, regulation, subpoena or court order or as otherwise expressly set forth herein. We may use personally identifiable Information and other information internally – for example, to help diagnose problems with our servers, and to make the Services more useful for you and for our other customers. By analyzing all information we receive, we may compile statistical information across a variety of users (“Statistical Information”). Statistical Information helps understand trends and customer needs so that new services can be considered and so the application and Services and associated services can be tailored to customer desires. We may share Statistical Information with our partners, pursuant to commercial terms that we determine in our sole discretion. In addition, we may provide any information to third parties, so long as we have removed any information that identifies any specific individual or user, such as a name, address or contact information.
How we Protect Information
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Other Uses or Transfer of Your Information
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, we will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity, behavior or digital content of any user suspected to have engaged in illegal or infringing behavior. In providing the Services, we may use subcontractors that are located in countries other than your own, and send them information we receive. For example, we may send your information to any countries outside the United States or the European Economic Area. All our subcontractors will be subject to non-disclosure and non-use obligations. Nevertheless, some countries may have levels of protection of personal and other information which are not as high as in your country of residence or business. We may disclose data and information as necessary for us to enforce our agreements and policies and to protect the rights and property of PAYS or its agents, employees and customers. We may transfer data and information in connection with a sale of all or part of our business.
