We have designed this Privacy Policy to explain how we handle personally identifiable information collected from merchants who register for services and submit information to Willingers through the Internet.

This Privacy Policy covers Willingers' treatment of personally identifiable information collected from merchants (hereafter "merchant" or "you") who use the Willingers payment gateway services, as well as consumer information that we acquire in the course of our business. This Policy also covers the treatment of personally identifiable information that Willingers' business partners may share with it.
This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Willingers does not own or control or to people that Willingers does not employ or manage.
Willingers collects personally identifiable information when you register for a Willingers account, and when you use certain Willingers products and services. Willingers may also receive personally identifiable information from its resellers and other business partners.
When you register with Willingers, we ask for your contact information (such as your name, street address and email address), as well as certain information pertaining to your business, along with billing information such as a bank account and/or credit card number.
In the course of processing a payment transaction, we typically receive from the merchant or a financial institution information related to the transaction. This normally includes information about the payment that a consumer has furnished the merchant or financial institution in placing the order.
The personally identifiable information we acquire in processing payment transactions varies according to the nature of the transaction and the way in which merchants or financial institutions are using our payment services. It may include, for example, the amount of the transaction, the consumer's name, credit card number and expiration date, checking account number, billing address, and shipping address.
Willingers uses the information collected to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to process payment transactions, to facilitate billing, and otherwise deliver the payment gateway services. We may also send merchants service announcements, newsletters, and periodic notices about specials and new products. Personally identifiable consumer information is used to process payment transactions and for no other purpose.
Willingers does not offer services or sell products to children. Willingers does not request or knowingly collect personally identifiable contact information from anyone under the age of 13.
Protecting personally identifiable information about merchants and consumers is an important part of our business. We share and disclose such information only as described below.
Willingers will send personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people when: 1) we have your consent to share the information; 2) we need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested; 3) we need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of Willingers to provide a product or service to you (unless we tell you differently these companies do not have any right to use the personally identifiable information we provide them beyond what is necessary to assist us).
Personally identifiable consumer information is shared with third parties (such as banks and credit card processors) to the extent necessary for Willingers to deliver payment processing services.
We also may release personally identifiable information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Merchant Agreement and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Willingers, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and risk reduction.
In the unlikely event that Willingers is acquired, merchant account information may be one of the transferred assets.
Information security is critical to our business. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We store information gathered on secure computers located in a locked data center. The number of employees involved in the management of the data center that have physical access to these computers is limited. We use firewalls and other security technology to prevent our computers from being accessed by unauthorized persons.
We also require that any personally identifiable consumer information sent to us by you be encrypted using SSL encryption. To learn more about SSL, go to: http://webopedia.internet.com/TERM/S/SSL.html.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your Login ID/password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer and otherwise protect the password used to access the Willingers services.
Willingers gives you the ability to edit your Willingers Account Information and preferences at any time, including whether you want Willingers to contact you about specials and new products, by using the Settings option in your Merchant Menu (see the Willingers Merchant Menu User Guide for more details), or by emailing us at giftcard@Willingersgc.com.
