PayPlz Inc. ("PayPlz," "we," "us," or "our") operates the payplz.io website and the PayPlz B2B debt recovery automation platform (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, company name, phone number, and billing information. This information is necessary to provide you with access to our Service and process payments.
Invoice and Debtor Data
To provide our debt recovery service, we collect and process invoice data that you upload to our platform, including debtor names, email addresses, invoice amounts, due dates, and any notes you attach. This data is used solely to execute the collection sequences you configure.
Usage Data
We automatically collect information about how you interact with our Service, including pages visited, features used, time spent on pages, browser type, operating system, IP address, and referring URLs. This data helps us improve the Service and diagnose technical issues.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your session, remember your language preference, and analyze usage patterns. See Section 7 for details on cookies.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Provide and maintain the Service — including sending collection emails on your behalf, generating recovery reports, and processing your account.
- Improve the Service — analyzing usage patterns to enhance features, fix bugs, and optimize performance.
- Communications — sending you service-related notices, updates, security alerts, and support messages. We do not send marketing emails without your explicit consent.
- Compliance and legal obligations — ensuring our Service and your use of it comply with applicable laws, including the FDCPA, CCPA, and Canadian PIPEDA.
- Billing and payments — processing subscription payments and maintaining billing records.
3. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or your clients' debtor data to third parties. This is a core principle of our business.
We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers — we use third-party providers for email delivery, payment processing (Stripe), hosting, and analytics. These providers process data only on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect it.
- Legal requirements — we may disclose information if required to do so by law, subpoena, court order, or government request.
- Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.
- With your consent — we may share information when you explicitly authorize us to do so.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. All sensitive data, including OAuth tokens and credentials, is encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption at rest. Data in transit is protected by TLS 1.2 or higher. Our infrastructure is hosted on secure, SOC 2-compliant cloud platforms.
We implement access controls, audit logging, and regular security reviews. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Service. Invoice and debtor data that you upload is retained for the duration of your subscription plus 90 days after account closure, after which it is permanently deleted.
Usage data and analytics are retained in anonymized or aggregated form and may be kept indefinitely to improve the Service. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at support@payplz.io.
