This Privacy Policy reflects how FanFundit, Inc. (FanFundit or we) provides its payment services (the Services) through third party websites and eCommerce engines ("Platforms"), such as marketplaces and business tools providers. Platforms provide Fan Fundit's Services to their end users ("Users" or "you") by integrating with Fan Fundit's application programming interface ("API"), which also enables the Platform to provide User information to Fan Fundit and receive information from Fan Fundit. This Privacy Policy addresses how Fan Fundit handles all User information, including User information provided by you, User information provided by the Platform, and User information obtained by Fan Fundit from third parties.
FanFundit's Privacy policy describes the ways we collect, use, and share User information. We may amend this Privacy policy at any time by posting a revised version at this link. The revised version will be effective at the time we post it, unless we provide additional notice or an opportunity to "opt-in" because changes are material or retroactive. By using the Services, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy policy. By using a Platform that has integrated with FanFundit's API, you are also accepting the practices described in the Platform's Privacy policy, which you should review carefully. Any information you enter on the Platform's website or application, or on Fan Fundit pages, fields, or resources that are integrated with the Platform's website or application, may be shared with the owner of the Platform website or application, subject to the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and applicable law. Fan Fundit is not responsible for the content or information practices of Platforms.
Information Collected
FanFundit collects three types of information: information that Users intentionally provide to FanFundit or
the Platform, information about Users that third parties provide to Fan Fundit or the Platform to augment or
verify that information, and information automatically provided by Users as they interact with the Fan
Fundit or Platform website. Information that can be used to identify, contact, or locate a User is
"personally identifiable information”. Automatically provided information that uniquely identifies a device
or browser is not personally identifiable information, unless it is linked to a particular User.
User Provided Information
Users either accept payments as "Merchants" or make payments as "Payers." A Merchant must provide the
Merchant's name, email address, a self-selected password, street address, telephone number, tax
identification number, merchant category code, date of birth (if a natural person), bank account information
and website. A Merchant may provide additional information, such as a link to its social media account, in
order to accelerate account activation and qualify for faster disbursement of funds.
A Payer who is paying with a credit or debit card must provide the Payer's name, card number, expiration date, CVV code, country, and zip code. A Payer who is paying by ACH or EFT must provide the Payer's name and bank account information. Merchants or Payers may voluntarily provide additional information to FanFundit or the Platform, for example, when seeking customer support or in response to surveys or other inquiries.
Third-Party Provided Information
FanFundit or the Platform may obtain information about Users from third parties, such as identity
verification services, credit reporting services, and social networks such as Facebook or LinkedIn. The
Platform may provide FanFundit with additional information, such as the User's transactional history on the
Platform.
Automatically Provided Information
FanFundit or the Platform may automatically record certain information about or related to your use of the
Services and the Platform that is made available through your computer. Three such technologies are
described below.
Log Files - FanFundit or the Platform may collect internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, device ID,
internet service provider (ISP), information about your computer and software, links, materials you request,
your approximate location, referring/exit pages, date/time stamp, and other metadata. Platforms may embed
JavaScript code into page loads, which instructs Users' web browsers to make web requests back to our
servers to collect information about User page views and other activities.
Cookies
FanFundit or the Platform collects certain information from the User's browser using small data files called
"cookies." For example, FanFundit or the Platform may use session cookies to help recognize a User who
visits multiple website pages during the same session, so that the User does not have to enter a password to
access each page. Session cookies terminate once the User closes the browser. By default, FanFundit or the
Platform also uses persistent cookies to collect, store, and track information. For example, FanFundit or
the Platform uses persistent cookies to store the User's login ID (but not the User's password) to make it
easier for the User to login when the User returns to the website. We encode our cookies so that only we can
interpret the information stored in them. You can remove or block persistent cookies using the settings in
your browser, but this may limit your ability to use our Services.
Clear GIFs and Web Beacons - FanFundit or the Platform may employ a software technology, called clear gifs
or web beacons, that helps us better manage content on the FanFundit or Platform website, and in FanFundit
or Platform emails, by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique
identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In
contrast to cookies, which are stored on a User's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on
Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
"Do Not Track" Disclosure
FanFundit does not currently respond to web browser "Do Not Track" signals or other mechanisms that provide
a method to opt out of the collection of personally identifiable information across the networks of websites
and online services in which we participate. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in
this Privacy policy. Platforms may collect personally identifiable information about a User's online
activities from you or from the Fan Fundit Services. Please refer to the Platform's Privacy policy for
information regarding its own "Do Not Track" policy.
We collect and store certain information about you. This information may be provided directly by you, a
platform partner, or FanFundit may collect it based on your use of the website.
Use of Information Obtained by FanFundit
FanFundit uses User information primarily in order to develop, operate, support, maintain, enhance and
provide the Services. FanFundit uses User information to process payment transactions; to provide receipts
and reports; to resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems; to customize, measure, and
improve the Services; and to enforce our agreements with Platforms and our Terms of Service and Merchant
Agreement with Users.
FanFundit also uses User information to detect and prevent fraud and other potentially illegal activities.
FanFundit may combine User information with information from other sources using proprietary algorithms to
calculate a measure of the risk that a particular User or transaction is fraudulent ("Risk Score").
FanFundit uses User information for our administrative and operational purposes. FanFundit or the Platform
may notify you of changes in the Services, or may solicit your feedback, or may conduct market research, or
may send you promotional materials. To unsubscribe from promotional emails, click the "unsubscribe" link in
the email.
FanFundit uses information collected about you in order to meet legal obligations and provide a better
service.
Sharing of Information with Third Parties
FanFundit may share User information with third-party service providers who help with certain parts of our
business operations including settlement, security, validation of user credentials, secure data storage,
marketing, customer service, and other services. Fan Fundit requires that these service providers use
personally identifiable User information only in connection with the services they perform for Fan Fundit.
FanFundit also may share non-personally identifiable User information with third parties that help us better
understand how Users use our Service or help us detect and prevent fraud and other unauthorized or
suspicious activity. These third parties may use cookies and other technologies to collect non-personally
identifiable information about Users and combine it with similar information collected from others. They may
use this information to help Fan Fundit to better understand our Users, and to help their other customers
better understand their users.
A Fan Fundit Risk Score is not personally identifiable information, and FanFundit may share it (and other similar information generated by FanFundit) with Platforms or other third parties. Fan Fundit claims ownership of Risk Scores and similar analytical results that we generate using User information, whether alone or in combination with other information. Fan Fundit may use, disclose, or sell Risk Scores in Fan Fundit's sole discretion. Fan Fundit may share User information in the event of a merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of all or a portion of our assets, or similar transaction, or in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which User information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets. Should such an event occur, Fan Fundit will endeavor to assure that the acquirer, successor, or assignee (as the case may be) follows this Privacy policy with respect to User information. If User information could be used contrary to this Privacy policy, Users will receive prior notice as well as the opportunity to opt out.
FanFundit may share User information with law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties in the event of a subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure, or when Fan Fundit believes in good faith that the disclosure of User information is necessary or advisable to report suspected illegal activity, or to protect Fan Fundit's property or legal rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement of Fan Fundit's Terms of Service, Merchant Agreement, and other agreements) or the property or rights of others, or otherwise to help protect the safety or security of the Services.
Except as expressly disclosed in this Privacy policy, FanFundit will not sell or disclose User information to third parties. FanFundit will not sell, rent, share, or trade personally identifiable information to third parties (other than the Platform through which Fan Fundit collected such information) for their promotional purposes. Fan Fundit may disclose aggregated or other types of non-personally identifiable information to third parties for various purposes. We will share personally identifiable information with third parties only to best provide FanFundit's services and in special situations, such as legal investigations and merger. We may also share non-identifiable information with third parties that help us prevent fraud and analyze website activity.
Security
FanFundit has implemented physical, technical, and procedural safeguards to protect User information from
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Fan Fundit uses computer safeguards such as
firewalls and data encryption, and authorizes access to personally identifiable information only for those
employees, contractors, and agents who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.
FanFundit takes additional care to protect User information, such as credit card or bank account numbers, if
disclosure of the particular type of User information could cause direct financial loss.
FanFundit has taken a number of steps in order to become an extremely secure service.
Location
FanFundit stores and processes User information on dedicated servers located in secure data centers that may
be located within the United States or in other jurisdictions. If you use the Services from the European
Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that differ from laws of the
United States, then you understand and consent to the transfer of your User information to the United States
or other jurisdictions for the uses identified above in accordance with this Privacy policy. You acknowledge
and agree that the privacy and data security laws in place in the United States or other jurisdictions may
be different from the privacy and data security laws in force in the country in which you reside. By
voluntarily providing User information, you hereby agree that you are consenting to our collection, use,
storage, and disclosure of such User information in accordance with this Privacy policy.
It's easy to change your user information.
Children
The Services are not intended for children. We ask that minors (persons under the age of 18) do not submit
any personal information to us or use the Services.
You may only use FanFundit if you are 18 years old or older.
