Abbalink Systems Inc. takes privacy and data protection issues seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personally identifiable information collected from individuals and organizations that purchase products and services and submit information to Abbalink
If you have questions about Abbalinks' privacy practices, please contact us at info@abbalink.com
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy covers Abbalinks’ treatment of personally identifiable information collected from organizations (hereafter "merchant" or "you") that use the Abbalink method of payment, as well as information that we acquire in the course of our business.
This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Abbalink does not own or control, or to people that Abbalink does not employ or manage. This Policy is specific to Abbalink Systems Inc. and does not apply to other Web sites or Internet services.
Information Collection and Use
We do not collect personal information from you unless you provide it to us in conjunction with an application for a merchant (online giving or payment) account or any other service we offer. The information collected is used for the underwriting, approval and setup required for the service you request. We do not license, sell, rent or trade any collected information about your account or other personal information unless you request it, the information is provided to help complete a transaction initiated by you, or the disclosure is otherwise lawfully permitted or requested.
When you apply for an account with Logos, we ask for your contact information (such as your name, street address and e-mail address), as well as certain information pertaining to your organization, along with billing information such as a bank account and/or credit card number.
In the course of processing a payment transaction, we typically receive from the merchant or financial institution information related to the transaction. This normally includes information about the payment or contribution that a consumer has furnished the merchant or financial institution in placing the order.
The personally identifiable information we acquire in processing payment transactions varies according to the nature of the transaction and the way in which merchants or financial institutions are using our payment services. It may include, for example, the amount of the transaction, the consumer’s name, credit card number and expiration date, checking account number, billing address, and shipping address.
Abbalink Systems uses the information collected to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to process payment transactions, to facilitate billing, and otherwise deliver the payment gateway services. We may also send organizations periodic service announcements, newsletters, and notices about specials, new products and services as well as products and services offered by Abbalink business partners. Personally identifiable consumer information is used to process payment transactions and for no other purpose.
Abbalink does not offer services or sell products to children. Abbalink does not request or knowingly collect personally identifiable contact information from anyone under the age of 13.
