    may include personal and business tax returns in addition to other sensitive
    documents. Any such documents are securely stored and safeguarded. At

Section 2: How we collect your information

  • Log Files: Any time you visit any of our websites, our servers automatically
    gather information from your browser (such as your IP addresses, browser
    type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type,
    date/time stamp, and number of clicks) to analyze trends, administer the site,
    prevent fraud, track visitor movement in the aggregate, and gather broad
    demographic information. For example, we may log your IP address for
    system administration purposes. IP addresses are logged to track a user´s
    session. This gives us an idea of which parts of our site users are visiting. We
    do not share the log files externally.
  • Cookies: We use “cookies” to keep track of some types of information while
    you are visiting our website or using our services. Cookies are very small
    files placed on your computer, and they allow us to count the number of
    visitors to our website and distinguish repeat visitors from new visitors.
    They also allow us to save user preferences and track user trends. We rely on
    cookies for the proper operation of our website; therefore if your browser is
    set to reject all cookies, the website will not function properly. Users who
    refuse cookies assume all responsibility for any resulting loss of
    functionality. We do not link the cookies to any personally identifiable
    information.
  • Web Beacons: ”Web beacons” (also known as “clear gifs” and “pixel tags”)
    are small transparent graphic images that are often used in conjunction with
    cookies in order to further personalize our website for our users and to
    collect a limited set of information about our visitors. We may also use web
    beacons in email communications in order to understand the behavior of our
    customers. We do not link the web beacons to any personally identifiable
    information.
  • Sign-Up Information: To process sign-ups, we may require your name,
    address, phone number, email address and other personal information. Such
    information is used primarily to process your order or as otherwise described
    herein. This is information you provide to us.
  • E-mails and Telephone Calls: We require an e-mail address from you when
    you register for our services. We use your e-mail for both transactional (e.g.,
    order confirmation, refund and renewal processing) and promotional (e.g., newsletters, new product offerings, special discounts, event notifications,
    special third-party offers) purposes. E-mail messages we send you may
    contain code that enables our database to track your usage of the e-mails,
    including whether the e-mail was opened and what links (if any) were
    clicked. If you would rather not receive promotional e-mails from us, please
    see the section below labeled “Choice/Opt-Out”. We reserve the right to
    send you certain communications relating to the PAZ services, such as
    service announcements and administrative messages, without offering you
    the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. We may also contact you by
    telephone or text message (including to any wireless number you may
    provide to us) solely in connection with PAZ’s services. If you would rather
    not receive telephone calls or text messages from us, you may change or
    delete your number from your account preferences page(s), or ask to be
    removed from our contact list if you receive a call or text message from us.
    We fully comply with the requirements of the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act.

    (1) comply with the law, requests or orders from law enforcement, or any
    legal process (whether or not such disclosure is required by applicable law)
    and (2) protect or defend Paz´s, or a third party´s, rights or property.

    request for a merchant cash advance product or service as offered on the
    Websites, you signify your agreement to proceed and that you are
    consenting, acknowledging and agreeing to the disclosure of you
    information with funders and/or brokers within our network. We will not
    perform a credit check without your authorization. Please be aware that the
    funders, brokers, and/or other service providers with whom you are matched
    and with whom your information is shared may retain your information,
    even if you do not enter into an agreement for their products or services.
    Please contact each such party directly regarding their privacy and
    information policies. Also, if you enter into an agreement with a funder,
    broker, or other service provider through the PAZ service and make changes
    to the information you have provided to us, we may share the updated
    information with such funder, brokers, and/or service providers.
  • Disclosure to Trusted Third Parties By Us: Upon completing a profile on the
    site, we will share your information with third party service providers with
    whom you are matched. By accepting the Terms of Service, you agree to
    receive various marketing materials from our trusted third parties, including
    potential funders and service providers. We are not responsible for the
    material of the third parties or their actions. Your information may also be
    shared with third-party contractors that provide services to PAZ and are
    bound by this privacy policy. Your information will be treated as private and
    confidential by such third parties and not used for any other purpose than we
    authorize. In addition, from time to time, we may share personal information
    (such as e-mail or mailing address) about our user base with carefully
    selected third parties, so they can offer goods and services that we believe may be of interest to our users. If you do not wish to receive offers from our
    trusted partners, you can change your e-mail preferences at any time by
    following the steps outlined in the “Choice/Opt-Out” section below

Section 5: Security

We have extensive security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information stored in our database. These measures include the use
of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology during credit card transactions and
administrative access to site data, as well as other proprietary security measures
which are applied to all repositories and transfers of user information. We will
exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission of information between
your computer and our servers, but given that no information transmitted over the
Internet can be guaranteed 100% secure, we cannot ensure or warrant the security
of any information transmitted to us over the Internet and hence accept no liability
for any unintentional disclosure. For further information, please see our Terms of
Service

In the event there is a data breach at PAZ, PAZ will notify you within 45 days. We
will notify you that a breach occurred, what type of information was breached,
when the breach occurred, what steps you can follow to further protect your
information, what actions we are taking regarding the breach and what steps we are
taking to ensure the breach does not happen again.

Do not share your account login and/or password with any other individual. Your
account login and/or password is sensitive and your sharing of your account
information may lead to additional exposure to your account.

You may choose to stop receiving our newsletter or marketing emails by following
the unsubscribe instruction included in these emails or you can contact us at

information on public forums. You are solely responsible for the posting of any
personal information on public forums.

If, after signing up for our services, you decide you no longer wish to receive our

We purchase marketing data about our customers from third parties and combine it
with information we already have about you, to create more tailored advertising
and products.

If you provide information about others, or if others give us your information, we
will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to
us.

Any information obtained from a third-party will be used to assist matching your
business with various funders.

The Websites contain links to other websites that are maintained by third parties.

security practices of these third parties.
