Privacy Statement

Last Updated: September 1, 2017

We, vPromos, Inc., a Texas corporation (“vPromos,” “we” or “us”), explain in this Statement what information we receive and collect from and about you if you enroll or participate in any of our vLoyalty programs, including on merchant vLoyalty Facebook pages. This Statement does not cover any other information that we collect, including, without limitation, data that we collect offline, or data that unaffiliated merchants may collect from you in connection with purchases that may qualify under a vLoyalty program.

vLoyalty programs are merchant specific.

We operate and administer separate vLoyalty programs for merchants. You can sign up at a merchant for such merchant’s specific vLoyalty program after you complete a purchase or go the merchant’s vLoyalty Facebook page to sign up. We do not share information of what you buy at one merchant with any other merchant. We use transaction information only to administer vLoyalty programs and for statistical analysis purposes. Check with each merchant on its own data collection and processing basis. We do not control a merchant’s data policy.

Participation is voluntary.

You participate voluntarily in the vLoyalty program. Neither vPromos nor any merchant may or does require you to join any vLoyalty program or to provide any data to register for vLoyalty as a condition to payment with a credit or debit card (“Payment Card”) or to making purchases.

Information We Collect.

Information you actively provide: When you register for a vLoyalty program, we may ask you to provide or grant permission to collect your first and last name, cell phone number, Payment Card number, email address, postal address, zip code and other information. If you agree to enroll and participate in the merchant’s vLoyalty Program or link your merchant vLoyalty program with the merchant’s Facebook page, you will actively provide such information and you will know what information you provide.

Information you automatically provide: When you pay with a Payment Card that you registered for a merchant’s vLoyalty program at such merchant, we may automatically receive your first and last name and Payment Card number, or a token thereof, and transaction information from the merchant and/or Credit Card Company. We use this information to manage the merchant’s vLoyalty Program.

Tracking your vLoyalty status. If you registered for and participate in a merchant’s vLoyalty program, you may keep up with your status at the merchant’s vLoyalty Facebook page.  This is optional.  You do not have to link your vLoyalty account on the merchant’s vLoyalty Facebook page to participate in the merchant’s vLoyalty Program.  You may keep up with your status of the points earned and redeemed by you with such merchant by texting “status” to 26173. If you do link your vLoyalty account with the merchant’s vLoyalty Facebook page, vPromos will collect certain information as described below.
