Usage Data

When you use the Bingalo service, we process and deliver to you and other users of our service information about your Bingalo transactions, such as information about items that you post for sale through our service and messages exchanged with other Bingalo users. In this context, we receive information about your device, software, who you communicate with, message content, locations and our access logs, which includes IP address, device ID, your actions within our service and language settings.

Our browser-based app version and website also places cookies (session cookies and persistent cookies) as necessary to provide functionality to you. We associate usage data with your device and your personal account. We process usage information to deliver, improve and optimize our Bingalo service, to protect you, us and other users from actual or potential fraud and misuse, and to determine what information, features, promotional information and other services you need or may be interested in. We may combine your usage information with information we collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize your Bingalo experience.

The information Bingalo collects may be sent to us by your computer, mobile phone or other access device. The information includes, but is not limited to, the following: data about the pages you access, computer IP address, device ID or unique identifier, device type, geo-location information (IP country and city), computer and connection information, internet service provider (ISP), mobile network information, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the sites, referral URL, ad data, and standard web log data and other information. You may opt out of geo location information collection by editing the setting at your device level.

Third Party Sources

We may combine your usage data with information we collect from other companies such as Google Analytics to customize and improve your user experience. Google Analytics collects information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources
(For more information, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy/partners .)

You may choose to provide us with access to certain personal information stored by third parties such as social media sites (e.g., Facebook https:// www.facebook.com/policy.php). The information we may receive varies by site and is controlled by that site. By associating an account managed by a third party with your Bingalo account and authorizing Bingalo to have access to this information, you agree that we may collect, store and use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Cookie Statement

The cookies we use on our browser-based app and website do not hold any personal information about you. Where personally identifiable information is required to be gathered, the need for this information will be clearly communicated before you choose to provide the information. Information collected by cookies may be used to serve interest-based advertising about Bingalo’s service. Please note you will continue to receive transactional data and general ads.

Many Internet browsers allow you to adjust your cookie preferences or delete existing cookies. If you set your browser to reject cookies, you should be aware that certain browser-based app or website features, promotions or services may not be available to you or may not function correctly.

Certain Internet browsers may enable you to set “do not track” preferences, to limit the collection of personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Bingalo’s systems do not respond to Internet browser “do not track” signals or similar mechanisms.

Data Retention and Access

You can review, access and edit your personal information at any time by logging in to your account and reviewing your account settings. You can also deactivate your account.

We retain account and usage data as long as required by applicable law. We may retain personal information from your account to collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, complete investigations, prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Service User Agreement, or take other actions as required or permitted by law.

If you deactivate your Bingalo account we will inactivate the account within less than 10 business days. Please keep in mind that others can retain messages and content that you have sent them or posted publicly before you closed your account and, as we are a financial institution, we keep deactivated account information for a certain time period in our archives before we can delete any data.

International Data Transfer

To facilitate our operations, we may transfer, store and process your personal information in jurisdictions other than where you live, including in the United States. Laws in these countries may differ from the laws applicable to your country of residence. We will utilize appropriate safeguards governing the transfer and usage of your personal information.

Security

We take required steps to protect your account information and account messages and to protect against data loss, misuse and unauthorized access. However, no internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular, messages sent through the Bingalo service are not encrypted.

It is your responsibility to control access to your device, including keeping your login information confidential and not sharing it with anyone. It is also your responsibility to notify Bingalo if you believe the security of the information in the Bingalo app or your Bingalo account has been compromised.

Your Choices

We respect your communication preferences. If you no longer wish to receive notifications via our application, you can adjust your preferences by visiting the settings page of the Bingalo application.

Bingalo may use information collected for its own marketing purpose. If we send marketing messages, you can opt out by changing the settings in your Bingalo profile account or by contacting us at contact@Bingalo.com or by following the directions that may be provided within the communication itself to opt out. Note that if you opt out, we may still send you non-marketing messages, such as messages about your account, transactions or specifically in regards to products and services you have requested.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
