Merchant Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Welcome to Perqit ("we," "our," or "us"). This Merchant Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the personal and business data of business owners, managers, and merchants who use our platform to issue digital loyalty and gift cards. The privacy policy for customers can be found here.

By creating an account and registering your business on Perqit, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

To set up and manage your merchant account, we collect two categories of data:

• Personal Data (Account Owner): We collect your name, email address, and phone number to authenticate your account, secure your dashboard login, and communicate important updates regarding your account or billing.
• Business/Store Data: We collect your business details—including your store name, physical address, geo-location coordinates, website URL, and business email address—along with uploaded branding assets like your logo and brand colors.

2. Data Visibility: What Customers Can See

We strictly separate your personal identity from your public business profile:

• Your personal details (your personal name, personal email, and phone number) are never shared with customers or third parties.
• Your store data (store name, address, location, website, and business email) is designed to be visible to customers to help them find your shop, locate your store via wallet geofencing, and contact your business. Whenever store data is displayed or shared publicly on digital passes, it will always be clearly identifiable.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information strictly to provide and maintain the Perqit service:

• To operate your merchant dashboard and authenticate your login sessions.
• To power the digital loyalty and gift cards issued to your customers.
• To provide location-based features (geofencing) so customer wallet passes light up near your store.
• To send essential service announcements, security alerts, and support responses.

We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal or business data to any third parties.

4. Account & Data Deletion

You maintain control over your account data:

• Requesting Data Deletion: You can request to have your personal data removed at any time by emailing us from your registered merchant address. Please note: Because an active account requires personal contact information to manage a store, deleting your personal data means you can no longer manage your store in our system. If ownership is not successfully transferred to another authorized individual, your store account will be closed and all active customer cards linked to your store will expire and become invalid.
• Removing Your Store: You may request to completely delete your store and associated branding at any time. Please note: Deleting your store does not automatically delete customer personal data (such as end-user email addresses) stored within our platform. Customers must separately request the removal of their own data in accordance with our Customer Privacy Policy.

5. Security of Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your dashboard login credentials. If you suspect unauthorized access to your merchant account or point-of-sale scanning interface, you must notify us immediately so we can help secure your account.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Merchant Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. If significant modifications are made, we will notify you via the email address associated with your merchant account. Continued use of the Perqit dashboard after such notice constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
