YOUR PRIVACY CONTROLS
You have choices regarding the information we collect and how it's used. This section describes key controls for managing your privacy across our services. We provide an opportunity to review and adjust important privacy settings. In addition to these controls, we also offer specific privacy settings in our products.
Managing, reviewing, and updating your information
When you are signed in, you can always review and update information by visiting the
products you
use. We also built a place for you to review and control information saved in your
PoolPay Account.
We build security into our services to protect your information.
All PoolPay products are built with strong security features that continuously protect
your

automatically
block security threats from ever reaching you. If we detect something risky that we
think you should
know about, we'll notify you and help guide you through steps to stay better
protected.
We work hard to protect you and PoolPay from unauthorized access, alteration,
disclosure, or

We use encryption to keep your data private while in transit.
We offer a range of security features, like Security Checkup, and 2-step verification to
help you
protect your account.
We review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including
physical security
measures, to prevent unauthorized access to our systems.
We restrict access to personal information to PoolPay employees, contractors, and agents
who need
that information to process it. Anyone with this access is subject to strict contractual
confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet
these
obligations.
DELETING YOUR INFORMATION

legal
purposes, such as security, fraud, and abuse prevention, or financial
record-keeping.
When you delete data, we follow a deletion process to ensure your data is safely and
completely removed from our servers or retained only in anonymized form. We try to
