How We Share Personal Information with Other PulzePay Users

When transacting with others, we may provide those parties with information about you necessary to complete the transaction, such as your name, account ID, contact details, shipping and billing address, or other information needed to promote the reliability and security of the transaction. If a transaction is held, fails, or is later invalidated, we may also provide details of the unsuccessful transaction. To facilitate dispute resolution, we may provide a buyer with the seller’s address so that goods can be returned to the seller. The receiving party is not allowed to use this information for unrelated purposes, such as to directly market to you, unless you have agreed to it. Contacting users with unwanted or threatening messages is against our policies and constitutes a violation of our User Agreement.

If someone is sending you money and enters your email address or phone number, we will provide them your registered name so they can verify they are sending the money to the correct account.

We work with third parties, including merchants, to enable them to accept or send payments from or to you using PulzePay. In doing so, a third party may share information about you with us, such as your email address or mobile phone number, to inform you that a payment has been sent to you or when you attempt to pay a merchant or third party. We use this information to confirm that you are a PulzePay customer and that PulzePay as a form of payment can be enabled, or to send you notification of payment status. Also, if you request that we validate your status as a PulzePay customer with a third party, we will do so.

If you link your loyalty or gift card of a PulzePay merchant to your account, we may share your card number with that merchant when you pay using PulzePay.

Please note that merchants, sellers, and users you buy from or contract with have their own privacy policies, and although PulzePay’s User Agreement does not allow the other transacting party to use this information for anything other than providing PulzePay Services, PulzePay is not responsible for their actions, including their information protection practices.

Regardless, we will not disclose your credit card number or bank account number to anyone you have paid or who has paid you using PulzePay, or with the third parties that offer or use PulzePay Services, except with your express permission or if we are required to do so to comply with credit card rules, a subpoena, or other legal process.

How We Share Personal Information with Other Third Parties

We may share your personal information with :

  • Credit bureaus and collection agencies to report account information, as permitted by law.
  • Banking partners as required by credit card association rules for inclusion on their list of terminated merchants (in the event that you meet their criteria which includes having PulzePay close your PulzePay Account due to your breach of PulzePay’s User Agreement).
  • Companies that we plan to merge with or are acquired by. (Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information could be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice).
  • Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process or requirement applicable to PulzePay or one of its affiliates; when we need to do so to comply with law or credit card rules; or when we believe, in our sole discretion, that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity or to investigate violations of our User Agreement.
  • Other unaffiliated third parties, for the following purposes :
    • Fraud Prevention and Risk Management : to help prevent fraud or assess and manage risk. For example, if you use the PulzePay Services to buy or sell goods using eBay Inc. or its affiliates (“eBay”), we may share account information in order to help protect your account from fraudulent activity, alert you if we detect such fraudulent activity on your accounts, or evaluate credit risk.

      As part of our fraud prevention and risk management efforts, we also may share necessary account information with eBay in cases where PulzePay has placed a hold or other restriction on your Account based on disputes, claims, chargebacks or other scenarios regarding the sale or purchase of goods. Also, as part of our fraud prevention and risk management efforts, we may share account information with eBay to enable them to operate their programs for evaluating buyers or sellers.

    • Customer Service : for customer service purposes, including to help service your accounts or resolve disputes (e.g., billing or transactional).
    • Shipping : in connection with shipping and related services for purchases made using PulzePay.
    • Legal Compliance : to help them comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing verification requirements.
    • Service Providers : to enable service providers under contract with us to support our business operations, such as fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing, customer service and technology services. Our contracts dictate that these service providers only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit.
  • Other third parties with your consent or direction to do so.

Please note that these third parties may be in other countries where the laws on processing personal information may be less stringent than in your country.

If you open a PulzePay account directly on a third party website or via a third party application, any information that you enter on that website or application (and not directly on a PulzePay website) will be shared with the owner of the third party website or application. These sites are governed by their own privacy policies and you are encouraged to review their privacy policies before providing them with personal information. PulzePay is not responsible for the content or information practices of such third parties.
