PayMe Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how Control. Alt. Delete LLC ("PayMe," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares your personal information, and to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights.

1. Scope and Updates to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by us, including on our website, our web-based application ("App"), and other online or offline offerings. To make this Privacy Policy easier to read, our website, App, and other offerings are collectively called the "Services."

Changes to our Privacy Policy. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. If there are any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you as required by applicable law. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Privacy Policy if you continue to use our Services after the new Privacy Policy takes effect.

2. Personal Information We Collect

The categories of personal information we collect depend on how you interact with us, our Services, and the requirements of applicable law. We collect information that you provide to us, information we obtain automatically when you use our Services, and information from other sources such as third-party services and organizations, as described below.

A. Personal Information You Provide to Us Directly

We may collect personal information that you provide to us.

Account Information. We may collect personal information in connection with the creation or administration of your account, such as your name, email address, phone number, address, date of birth, and any other information that you provide to us or that we otherwise collect.

Purchases and Payment Information. We may collect personal information and details associated with your purchases and subscriptions, including payment information for your PayMe subscription. Any payments for subscriptions made via our Services are processed by third-party payment processors. We do not directly collect or store any payment card information entered through our Services for subscription payments, but we may receive information associated with your payment card information (e.g., your billing details). Additionally, we may collect bank account information, payment processor account details (such as PayPal or Venmo), or other financial account information. In some cases, we collect this information to understand your payment preferences where PayMe does not directly receive or distribute settlement funds on your behalf. Settlement payments may be distributed directly to you by third-party settlement administrators, claims administrators, or courts. Your payment preference information may be used to pre-populate claim forms or for other Services-related purposes. We may also collect this information, or other financial account information necessary to distribute funds to you, to facilitate the receipt of settlement payments or refunds.

Your Communications with Us. We may collect personal information, such as email address, phone number, or mailing address when you request information about PayMe or our Services, register for our newsletter, request support, or otherwise communicate with us.

Surveys. We may contact you to participate in surveys. If you decide to participate, we may collect personal information from you in connection with the survey.

Interactive Features. We and others who use our Services may collect personal information that you submit or make available through our interactive features (e.g., commenting functionalities, forums, blogs, and social media pages). Any information you provide using the public sharing features of the Services will be considered "public," unless otherwise required by applicable law, and is not subject to the privacy protections referenced herein.

Sweepstakes or Contests. We may collect personal information you provide for any sweepstakes or contests that we may offer. In some jurisdictions, we are required to publicly share information of sweepstakes and contest winners.

Conferences, Trade Shows, and Other Events. We may collect personal information from individuals when we attend or host conferences, trade shows, and other events.

Job Applications. We may post job openings and opportunities on our Services. If you respond to one of these postings, we may collect your personal information, such as your application, CV, cover letter, and/or any other information you provide to us.

Claims and Eligibility Information. To identify potential settlements, refunds, and other payment opportunities for which you may be eligible, we may collect information about your purchase history, transaction history, products and services you have used, merchants and companies you have transacted with, geographic location history, demographic information, and other information relevant to determining your eligibility for class action settlements, refunds, subscriptions, and other payments. We may ask you to provide this information directly, grant us access to third-party accounts (such as email accounts, online shopping accounts, or financial accounts) to retrieve this information on your behalf, or derive this information from documents or data you upload to the Services. You may also provide information about specific claims, including details about your experiences with products or services, dates of purchase or use, and supporting documentation.

Third-Party Account Connections. To help identify settlements and payment opportunities, you may choose to connect third-party accounts to our Services, such as email accounts, online shopping accounts, financial institution accounts, or other accounts. When you authorize these connections, we may access and collect information from those accounts in accordance with the permissions you grant and the third-party's authorization process. This may include transaction history, purchase records, receipts, account statements, and other information necessary to identify potential claims.

Information Sharing with Third Parties; Lead Generation. We may share your personal information, including your contact information, claims and eligibility information, and information about potential legal claims or settlements for which you may be eligible, with third parties including law firms, legal service providers, claims aggregators, and lead generation companies ("Legal Partners"). We may receive compensation from these Legal Partners in exchange for providing your information to them.

By using the Services, you consent to our sharing your information with Legal Partners as described in this Privacy Policy. Legal Partners may contact you regarding legal services, class action lawsuits, or other legal matters that may be relevant to you based on the information you have provided.

Important: Providing information through the Services does not establish an attorney-client relationship between you and any law firm or Legal Partner. You should not expect that information you provide through the Services will be kept confidential or subject to attorney-client privilege. Information you provide may be shared with third parties as described in this Privacy Policy.
