 The personal information collected through the Platform will be used to facilitate the Services you receive from the Merchant. This may include:

Sharing with Thanx to operate the Platform. Because the Platform is operated by Thanx, any information you provide via the Platform, or that Merchant inputs to the Platform, may be hosted and stored by Thanx on Merchant’s behalf. Thanx uses this information to provide the Platform under contract with Merchant and in accordance with Merchant’s instructions and applicable laws. Thanx may also rely on other third-party service providers that help it operate the Platform, such as hosting, information technology, support, email and text message delivery, and website analytics services. Your personal information may also be disclosed in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of all or a portion of Thanx’s assets or in the event of bankruptcy.

If you choose to remove / delete your credit card from your profile or account, transactional rewards earned for every purchase made will stop and cannot / will not be provided on a manual basis even if you manually load your receipt into the app. The credit card associated with the transaction(s) must be fully registered.   

  

Sharing initiated by Merchant. Merchant may share personal information through integrations in the Platform to provide services to you and for other purposes. For example, Merchant may enable third party software integrations, such as Olo, Toast, DoorDash, and Uber, to facilitate online ordering, point-of-sale, and delivery services. Merchant may also share personal information with advertising partners via integrations in the Platform, such as Klayvio, Active Campaign, and others for the purpose of sending marketing campaigns.
