This privacy policy describes the treatment of information provided or collected on and through our websites and applications (e.g. easepractice.com) (collectively “Sites”) where this privacy policy is posted. We follow this privacy policy in accordance with applicable law in the places where we operate.
Many of our services are provided to others in connection with their own business and activities, and you may engage with Ease services as part of another’s service, such as when you make a payment to a provider and we provide the payment processing services to that provider through Ease Pay (collectively, we refer to Sites and direct and indirect services as “Services”).
Please keep in mind that when you provide information to us on a third-party site or platform (for example, via credit card vendor or an application platform), the information you provide may be separately collected by the third-party site or platform. The information we collect is covered by this privacy policy, and the information the third-party site or platform collects is subject to the third-party site or platform's privacy practices. Privacy choices you have made on the third-party site or platform will not apply to our use of the information we have collected directly through our Website. Please also keep in mind that our Site or communications contains links to other sites or applications not owned or controlled by us and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Sites or applications and to read the privacy policies of other sites that may collect your Personal Data.
We collect personal information, including personal health information, and we may use personal information to create a separate type of information, aggregate information which removes your identity and allows us to create statistical data.
For example, we collect data such as or:
In connection with fraud monitoring, prevention, detection, and compliance activities for Ease and its users, we receive identity related from the following sources:
This Personal Data (e.g., name, address, phone number, country) helps us to confirm identities and prevent fraud. We may also use technology to assess the fraud risk associated with an attempted transaction by a Customer with an Ease user.
You may also choose to submit information to us via other methods, including: (i) in response to marketing or other communications, (ii) through social media or online forums, (iii) through participation in an offer, program or promotion, (iv) in connection with an actual or potential business relationship with us, or (v) by giving us your business card, business information or contact details in connection with trade shows or other events, including online webinars and programs through video communication platforms.
Our Sites use cookies and other technologies. These technologies record information about you, including:
We use Personal Data to facilitate the business relationships we have with our Users, to comply with our financial regulatory and other legal obligations, and to pursue our legitimate business interests. We also use Personal Data to complete transactions and to provide payment-related services to our Users.
We collect information you provide to us when you purchase products or services, register with us, or otherwise interact with us using one or more devices. You may provide information to us in a variety of ways, including by typing or speaking.
We collect information through a variety of technologies, such as application program interfaces, and Web beacons, including when you visit our Sites.
We use Personal Data for the purpose of entering into business relationships with prospective Ease Users, and to perform the contractual obligations under the contracts that we have with Ease Users. Activities include:
We use Personal Data to verify the identity of our Users in order to comply with fraud monitoring, prevention and detection obligations, laws associated with the identification and reporting of illegal and illicit activity, such as AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know-Your-Customer) obligations, and financial reporting obligations. For example, we may be required to record and verify a User’s identity for the purpose of compliance with legislation intended to prevent money laundering and financial crimes. These obligations are imposed on us by the operation of law, industry standards, and by our financial partners, and may require us to report our compliance to third parties, and to submit to third party verification audits.
As allowed, under applicable law, we rely on our legitimate business interests to process Personal Data about you. When we do so, we balance our legitimate interests against the interests and rights of the individuals whose Personal Data we process. The following list sets out the business purposes that we identified as legitimate:
We use Personal Data of Customers to provide our Services to Users, including to process online payment transactions and authenticate Customers on behalf of our Users. Learn More. All such use is pursuant to the terms of our business relationships with our Users. In addition, we may offer payment-related services to Users who have requested such services, and our delivery of such related services to our Users may involve the use of Personal Data. For example, an Ease User may specify parameters for transactions submitted by its Customers that determine whether the transactions are blocked or allowed by our payment processing Services. In such cases, the User is responsible for the collection and use of Customer’s Personal Data for the payment transactions and payment-related services. We also use Personal Data to detect and prevent fraud. In providing such services, we may provide Users who have requested such services Personal Data from a Customer to assess the fraud risk associated with an attempted transaction by their Customer.
