This Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and shared, as well as your rights and choices regarding that information.

By using the App, you consent to: (a) the use of electronic methods to agree to this Policy and receive related notices; and (b) the use of electronic records to store information related to this Policy and your use of the App.

Personal Information You Voluntarily Provide

2.1. To join the Business’s loyalty program, customer engagement initiative, or other Rekonect Solution service as a registered member (“Registered Member”), you’ll need to complete a registration form (“Registration Form”) or provide equivalent personal details. This form, customized by the Business, may request information like your name, phone number, email, and address. Certain fields may be marked as mandatory (“Mandatory Fields”) by the Business for enrollment.

2.2. You’re free to withhold personal information. If you choose not to complete all Mandatory Fields, you won’t become a Registered Member but can still access basic features of the App (“Basic Functionalities”), such as store hours or promotions, as determined by the Business.

2.3. If you opt in to connect your social network account(s), we’ll collect basic details (e.g., name, photo, email, and user ID—but not passwords) to facilitate your registration. Check your social network’s privacy settings to manage what’s shared. This data helps us enable your use of the Rekonect Solution.

2.4. To enjoy benefits like the Business’s loyalty program, you’ll need to identify yourself at its premises or via Third-Party Services. We use your Registration Form data to verify your identity, attribute your purchases (online or offline), and enable Third-Party Services.

2.5. The Business may customize the Registration Form to request additional details, which we process on its behalf and under its responsibility.

2.6. You may provide information in multiple stages or submissions. Declining to share further details or accept additional terms won’t affect our right to retain and use previously submitted data.
