5. Our Processing of Information on Behalf of SalonJobs Software Customers

   Our Customers may use the SalonJobs Software to collect and use information from and about: (i) clients who book salon and spa appointments with, and purchase products and services from, those Customers through the SalonJobs Software; and (ii) their contractors and employees, in connection with the Customers’ management of their businesses and their use of SalonJobs’s Payroll Processing services.

   The personal information collected through the SalonJobs Software by our Customers about their clients may include name and contact information such as phone number and email address, appointment information such as services booked and appointment times, records of products and services purchased, payment information such as payment card details, information about participation in loyalty or membership programs, the contents of messages transmitted between clients and the Customer through the SalonJobs Services, notes that Customers maintain regarding clients and their preferences, and information contained in other files, including photos and documents, that Customers or their clients upload to the Services.

   The personal information collected through the SalonJobs Software by our Customers about their contractors and employees may include business information such as work experience and services offered; scheduling and timesheet information such as work schedules, working hours and breaks, and client appointments; and compensation and payroll information such as wages, commissions and other payments, Social Security Numbers or other national identification numbers, banking information, and tax documentation such as your W2 and 1095 tax forms.

   When we receive this information about our Customers’ clients and employees in connection with our Customers’ use of the SalonJobs Software, we do so as a “processor” or “service provider” to our Customers. To that end, we process the information for the purpose of providing the SalonJobs Software and other services to those Customers, and our use and disclosure of the information is governed by our agreements with them. We may at those Customers’ direction provide that information to third party partners that provide certain services to those Customers as part of their use of the SalonJobs Software, including third-party payroll and payment processing partners. For example, we and our Customers use Stripe for payments, analytics, and other business services. Stripe may collect personal information about our Customers’ clients as part of those services, including via cookies and similar technologies. The personal information Stripe collects may include transactional data and identifying information about devices that connect to its services. Stripe uses this information to operate and improve the services it provides to us and our Customers, including for fraud detection, loss prevention, authentication, and analytics related to the performance of its services. You can learn more about Stripe and read its privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.

   We are not responsible for and have no control over the privacy and data security practices of our Customers, which may differ from those explained in this Privacy Policy. If your personal information has been submitted to us in our role as a processor by or on behalf of a Customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with them directly. If you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide us the name of the Customer who submitted your data to us or on whose behalf we otherwise received it. We will refer your request to that customer, and will support them as needed in responding to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

6. Your Choices

   We provide you with choices with regard to your information. For example, you may choose not to provide the personal information we request through the Services. However, not providing information we request may restrict your ability to use certain features of the Services and our ability to provide our services to the Customer(s) with whom you are associated.

   You may also be able to restrict the automatic collection of information when you use the Services by disabling cookies in your internet browser, but doing so may prevent you from using the functionality of the Services.

   Some Internet browsers have a “do-not-track” feature that let you tell the Services that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, the Services do not respond to browser “do-not-track” signals, and other parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites, applications, and other online products or services when you use the Services.

   For information about interest-based advertising, and to opt out of this type of advertising by third parties that participate in self-regulatory programs, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt out tool (http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/) and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising (https://youradchoices.com/). Please note that any opt-out choice you exercise through these programs will apply to interest-based advertising by the third parties you select, but will still allow the collection of data for other purposes, including research, analytics, and internal operations. You may continue to receive advertising, but that advertising may be less relevant to your interests.
