In this Privacy Policy, the above are referred to collectively as the “Services.” This policy describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal data and how you can access and update this data. Services include software and services that we own and operate directly, as well as software and services that we market or provide from or on behalf of third parties. Your use of the Services is governed by our Terms of Service (the “Terms”) available at www.thebitcoincompany.com/terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms.

The Services are intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If you are a child under the age of 16, please do not attempt to register for or otherwise use the Services. We will delete any personal information collected that we later determine to be from a user younger than the age of 16.

The Services are provided to users from systems in the United States.

In addition, such data may be accessed in or stored on servers located outside your resident jurisdiction and in jurisdictions that may have less stringent privacy practices than your own. If you use the Services or provide us with any information, we may transfer, processes, use, share, and store your information, including personal information, to our service providers or affiliates located in the United States as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms or this Privacy Policy, we and our Third-Party Service Providers will use transaction information solely as follows:

Use transaction data to confirm a Qualifying Purchase or return to match transactions to confirm whether you qualify for Points;
Share transaction data with the participating Merchant where a transaction occurred as needed for the Merchant to confirm a specific transaction occurred or Points should be awarded; for example, the date and amount of your purchase and the last 4 digits of your card number so the merchant can verify your purchase with its records if there is a missing or disputed transaction;

For fraud protection purposes only, we collect data on your Battery Usage, Device Identifier, Device Storage, MAC Address, and SIM information.

III. Information Security

Your data is of the utmost importance to us. We use Secure Socket Layer Security (“SSL”) and other transmission technologies to encrypt your personal data so it cannot be read in transit. In addition, we use secure technology, privacy protection controls, and restrictions on employee access to safeguard your personal information in storage.

Please note, however, that although we employ industry-standard security measures to safeguard the security of your personal information, no transmissions made on or through the Internet are guaranteed to be secure. Therefore, we cannot ensure the absolute security of any information you transmit to us.

IV. Tracking Technologies

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we and our marketing partners, affiliates, or analytics or service providers, may use technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, browser and device fingerprinting, network traffic monitoring, active scripting, recognition technologies, and scripts, to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users’ behavior while using the Services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis. We may also supplement the information we collect from you with information received from third parties, including third parties that have placed their own cookies on your device(s). Please note that because of our use of cookies, the Services do not support “Do Not Track” requests sent from a browser at this time. To explore what cookie settings are available to you, look in the “preferences” or “options” section of your browser’s menu. To find out more information about cookies, including information about how to manage and delete cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ .

There may be other tracking technologies used by us in connection with the Services. Further, third parties may use tracking technologies in connection with our Services, which may include the collection and storing of information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.

We may partner with one or more third parties such as ad networks and other advertising companies to display tailored advertising via the Services or on other sites. Our third-party partner(s) may use tracking technologies such as cookies and pixel tags to gather information about your use of the Services and other websites (such as web pages you visit and your interaction with our advertising and other communications) and use this information to make predictions about your preferences, develop personalized content and provide you targeted advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests both on and off our website. This information may also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns.

For more information about interest-based advertising and to understand your options, including how you can opt-out of receiving behavioral ads from participating third-party advertising companies, please visit :

Please note that even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes including analytics and you will still see ads from us, but the ads will not be targeted based on behavioral information about you and may therefore be less relevant to you and your interests.

To successfully opt out, you must have cookies enabled in your web browser (see your browser’s instructions for information on cookies and how to enable them). Your opt-out only applies to the web browser you use so you must opt-out of each web browser on each computer you use. Once you opt out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you will need to opt-out again.

V. Other Services

If you click on a link to a third-party site, you will leave the site you are visiting and be redirected to the site you selected. Because we cannot control the activities of third parties, we do not accept responsibility for any use of your personal data by such third parties, and we do not guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy policies as described in this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties. If you visit a third-party site that is linked to a Service, you should read that third-party site’s privacy statement before providing any personal data.

Our Services may include social media features, such as the “Share This” button that allows you to like us on Facebook or share our content on Twitter. These features may collect your IP address and information regarding your use of the Services. Social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our systems. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the applicable company.

VI. Access to Information

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, you have the right to access, update and correct inaccuracies in your personal information in our custody or control subject to limited exceptions under applicable law. You may request access, updating and corrections of inaccuracies in your personal information in our custody or control by emailing or writing to us at the contact information set out below. We may request certain personal information for the purpose of verifying the identity of the individual seeking access to his or her personal information records.

F. California Do Not Sell Notice and Information Request

If you are a California resident, the CCPA provides you with the right to opt out of the “sale” of your “personal information.” We may allow some of our advertising partners to collect certain pieces of information from our site visitors, such as device identifiers, cookies, advertising IDs, IP addresses, and usage activity, so that we and our partners can deliver ads that are more relevant to you. This type of information sharing with our advertising partners may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. If you want to opt out of these activities, please contact us at support@thebitcoincompany.com. Please note that some or all of the Services may not function if you choose to opt out of such activities.
