  • Your name;
  • postal address,
  • email address,
  • device information about your device you use to access the Site,
  • home and mobile telephone number; and any other Personal Information you provide to us with when you contact us.

Other Information means information that does not directly or indirectly identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, a particular individual or business. You could provide Other Information or it could be collected automatically. Examples may include information about your internet browser, demographic data such as city and state, usage information about your use of the Site, additional traffic data such as time and date of access, software crash reports, session identification numbers and access time, and other information regarding your use of the Site.

How we collect information

We collect information from you or about you when you provide this information to us directly. For example, we may obtain information when you request products or services from us, respond to surveys, contact customer support or otherwise interact with us via a Site, or via any of our social media channels.

In addition, when you interact with our Sites, we may collect information through technology, such as cookies. See the Our use of Cookies section below for more detail.

We therefore restrict access to your Personal Information to those of our employees who need to know that information to provide products and services to you, including the Elavon Services. We have established physical, technical and administrative security processes that are commensurate with the sensitivity of the information collected to safeguard Personal Information. We have routine internal and external oversight practices in place to assess and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your information.
