Point2Go™
is a program of Creditcard Discount Services Inc., a Washington corporation.
The terms “CDS” “Point2Go™” “we,” “us” or similar terms all refer to Creditcard
Discount Services Inc. and its Point2Go™ applications. This policy outlines how
CDS treats personally identifiable information that is collected while you
access or use any Point2Go™ application (the “Point2Go™ Apps”) or the CDS
websites relating to the Point2Go™ Apps, including, but not limited to, www.cdsus.com/point2go/
(the “Site”). For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Merchant” means any
merchant that has registered with us for the Point2Go™ Merchant App or has
signed a Point2Go™ Merchant Subscription Agreement and “Consumer” refers to any
person that has installed the Point2Go™ App for consumers and agreed to our
Terms of Use. The terms “you,” “your” and similar terms refer to both Merchants
and Consumers.
Your
personally identifiable information will be collected, used, and shared as
outlined in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy includes information about
the following: ·
How
We Protect Your Information
CDS
security measures are in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and
alteration of the personal information and data under our control. The Site and
our services use industry standard measures to protect the security of your
information. This is not a guarantee that your information may not be accessed
or disclosed by a breach of our systems, as no form of security is ever 100%
secure. We take reasonable steps, such as requesting a unique password, to
verify your identity before granting you access to your account; however, you
are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account
information at all times. This helps to ensure that others cannot access your
personal information and correspondence when accessing your computer or other
mobile devices.
Your
Choices About Your Information
You
may choose not to submit personal information through the Applications, in
which case CDS may not be able to provide certain services to you. You can
review and correct the information about you that CDS keeps on file by
contacting us directly at point2go@cdsus.com.
Information
Practices: Fair Processing Notice
CDS
collects, holds and processes personal information relating to Consumers who
use Point2Go™ App, as well as data related to the Merchants that subscribe to
the Point2Go™ POINT2GO™ Merchant App. It is essential for CDS to do so in order
to manage its operations effectively and in order to provide such interactive
marketing services for the benefit of both the Merchant and the Consumers.
During
registration or account creation, you give your consent for CDS to process your
personal information. CDS provides this fair processing notice, which informs
you of how your personal data will be processed and provides the purposes for
which the data has been collected. It also explains how you can opt out of some
aspects of the processing, where applicable.
Information
That We Collect and How We Use It
The
information held by CDS is primarily taken from the details provided during the
registration or account-creation process; however, it also includes information
that accumulates during an individual's ongoing use of the Point2Go™ Apps. This
information may include personal data such as your name, birthday and email
address, transaction history, and could include a photograph and mobile phone
number (if Consumer provides either). Geographic location details are used to
assist in participating in an individual Merchant program, as well as to
provide relevant and appropriate offers.

We

We
may also use information we hold about you to: ·
Your
personal information will be used to provide you with Point2Go™ services, such
as participation in selected Merchant programs; and a limited amount of
information will be shared with Merchants that you select, including your name,
photo, visit history and a truncated email address. Any personal information
shared in these ways will not be excessive. For example, a Merchant will see
your name, a portion (but not all) of your email address, recent transaction
history only from their business, in order to provide you with customer service
and to make updates to your account.
Mobile
Geolocation Data
The
Applications and Site may use geolocation data to provide our services. When
Consumers use the Point2Go™ App, we may use GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other
similar technologies to determine your current location in order to identify
which Merchant you are visiting other Merchants near you, to check you in to
that location, and/or to provide you with relevant advertisements or other
messages. We will not share Consumers’ current location with other users or
partners. If you do not want us to use your location for the purposes
identified above, you should turn off the "location services" for CDS
located in your mobile phone settings. You may revoke your consent for access
to geolocation data at any time, but elements of the Point2Go™ Apps may not then
work. We will use Merchant street addresses and d/b/a
name to identify Merchants within the consumer interface of the Point2Go™ App.
Third
Party Advertisers
We
may use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements regarding
goods and services that may be of interest to you when you access and use the
Point2Go™ Apps, the Site and other websites, based on information relating to
your access to and use of the Site and other websites. To do so, these
companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including
through the use of pixel tags). For more information about this practice, or
simply to learn more about what choices may be available to you, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/ or

Registration
When
you select to register an account within a Point2Go™ App or on our Site, we
request that you provide information, such as your name, email address, user
name and password (and optionally photo and mobile number) to register your
account. CDS uses this information to provide services to you and to provide
push notifications regarding our services. If you do not wish to receive push
notification you will need to opt out of such notification in your mobile phone
settings or send an email to point2go@cdsus.com. Except for making your
name and profile photo available to Merchants that you have authorized and
third parties as needed to provide services to you, it is not shared with any
third parties for their promotional purposes.
In
addition, if you choose to opt-in to Merchant loyalty programs, Point2Go™ may
deliver push notifications on behalf of such Merchants to your mobile device. Point2Go™
and CDS are not responsible for the content of such push notifications.
From
Your Web Browser or Mobile Device
When
you use a Point2Go™ App or the Site, we record and maintain a log of requests
sent by your mobile device or browser to our web servers. The information we
collect is used to improve the quality of our services - for example, by
diagnosing service or technology problems, or assessing and maintaining
security. We may also conduct research on information we collect to determine
user demographics, interests, and behavior.
CDS
reserves the right to utilize your Point2Go™ App or Site usage and location
data to identify, generate and show you content-targeted promotions. This will
be done through a secure, automated process. Examples of such content-targeted
promotions could include using your general location data to determine which
Merchant you are visiting so that the Merchant’s special offers can be made
available to you during that visit and using your specific location data to
determine where in the Merchant’s store you are so the Merchant can provide you
offers specific to what you’re browsing. This use of location data is a
necessary part of your use of the Point2Go™ App. If you are uncomfortable with
such collection or use of location data at any point then, as described above
in Mobile Geolocation Data, you may turn off the location services or otherwise
discontinue your use of the Point2Go™ App or Site. None of your content or
personal information will be shared with any party beyond the terms specified
in this Privacy Policy.
Information
Sharing
CDS
will not rent or sell your personal information to third parties for their
promotional purposes. CDS may share your personal information with entities
outside of CDS as described in this Privacy Policy, such as in the following
limited circumstances: ·
We
may share non-personal information with interested third parties in order to
help them understand usage of the CDS or Point2Go™ services. We may also
provide your non-personal information to contractors so that they can perform
services for us such as assisting us in improving our offerings. Such
information does not identify you individually.
Transfers
to the United States and Other Global Locations
Because
CDS and Point2Go™ are headquartered in the United States, we may transfer
information collected from you within the United States. We may also transfer
such information between and among such location outside the U.S. as needed to
provide the Point2Go™ services. By using the Site or Point2Go™ App you agree to
these transfers and allow us to use and disclose your information in accordance
with this Privacy Policy. To obtain further information about our policies and
practices with respect to service providers outside of the country you are
currently located in, please contact us directly at point2go@cdsus.com.
This
Website May Be Linked to Other Websites
As
you use Point2Go™ Apps, you may click to websites of affiliated companies or
other third parties. Those websites may have their own privacy policies. This
Privacy Policy will not apply when you move to one of these other websites
because their privacy practices and policies are tailored to the products and
services offered by them rather than by us. If you visit their websites please be sure to review the privacy policies
applicable to those websites.
We
may create links to third-party websites. CDS is not responsible for the
privacy practices employed by any such third-party websites. The CDS privacy
policies and practices do not apply to these websites. CDS does not guarantee,
approve, or endorse any information, material, services, or products contained
on or available through any linked websites. CDS is not responsible for any
content on websites linked from or to the Site. CDS is providing links to those
websites as a convenience and your connection to and use of any linked website
are at your own risk.
This
Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect via a Point2Go™ App, the
Site, or both. It does not apply to information we collect through other
methods or sources, including websites owned or operated by our affiliates or
other third parties. As described above, this policy applies and is limited to
CDS’ collection, use, and disclosure of your information. It does not apply to
the collection, use, or disclosure of your information by any other person or
entity. For example, if you visit (by link or otherwise) a third-party website,
this policy would not apply to that website. As a further example, if a
Merchant uses your information outside of a Point2Go™ App or Site then this
Privacy Policy would not apply to the Merchant’s use of your information
(though the Merchant might have a privacy policy that would apply). We
encourage you to learn about the applicable privacy practices before providing
your information to any such person or entity.
Online
Tracking
Some
browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you
visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Tracking is
not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a single
website. For these purposes tracking refers to collecting personally
identifiable information from consumers who use or visit a website or online
service as they move across different websites over time.
How
browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. As a result neither the Application nor the Site are set up to
interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals communicated by your browser. Even
so, as described more fully throughout this Privacy Policy, we limit our use
and collection of your personal information.
For
a description of Do Not Track protocols for browsers and mobile devices, or
simply to learn more about the choices available to you, you can visit the “All
About Do Not Track” website: http://allaboutdnt.com
Children's
Privacy
CDS
complies with the requirements of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
(COPPA) and the FTC’s Rule interpreting COPPA (16 CFR § 512) and does not
knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of
13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do
not send any information about yourself to us. No one under age 13 is allowed
to provide any personal information to or on CDS. In the event that we learn
that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will
delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might
have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us as
described in the Questions section below.
Changes
to Our Privacy Policy
If
we change our policies and procedures, we will post those changes on the Site
to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what
circumstances we may disclose it. You are bound by changes to the Privacy
Policy when you use any Point2Go™ App or the Site after those changes have been
posted. In the event of a material change to our information practices, we
shall notify you via email, via a prominent notice on the Site, or via in-app
messaging.
Opt-Out
Policy
CDS
reserves the right to send you certain communications related to servicing your
account, such as service announcements and administrative messages that are
considered part of your account. You can opt-out of news and announcements when
you sign up for Point2Go™ or you can use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of
applicable emails we send you. If you change your mind about receiving
promotional information from us after registering to receive it, please send us
a request specifying your new choice at point2go@cdsus.com and we will honor your request or
you can select the "Unsubscribe" link in an applicable email we send.
Data
Storage
CDS
uses third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary
hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run
CDS. CDS owns or has rights to the code, databases and Point2Go™ App and this
Privacy Policy governs all information on the Site. You retain all rights to
your information data. Third-party vendors and hosting partners are not allowed
to use your personal information for any promotional purposes.
Testimonials
We
sometimes post customer testimonials on our Site, which may contain personal
information such as the customer's name. We always obtain the customer's
consent prior to posting the testimonial to post their name and likeness along
with their testimonial. We are not responsible for any personal information a
user elects to submit on the Site within their testimonial.
