To support your rewards and the Abound Dollars system, Abound collects, processes, and shares certain financial, transactional, and account information. Among other things, this may include:
In addition to the above, we may receive similar or supplementary information from Plaid and/or our other business partners, and we may share such information with our affiliates and business partners to support our business initiatives, including without limitation our rewards and affiliate advertising programs. We may share this information with our affiliates and partner companies to assist in awarding you rewards for your activities and to enable our partners to make or support further rewards earning offers to you.
Our collection and sharing activities in support of Abound Dollars and other programs may include, without limitation, the following:
We collaborate closely with our affiliated businesses and companies within the group companies of Times Internet Limited and share your personal information for our internal business administration. Some of our service providers and business partners to whom we disclose personal information, as described above, may include other Times Internet Limited companies. We may also share information in the categories of identifiers, commercial information like product metrics, and internet browsing and activity information with our affiliates for those corporate affiliates to analyze and monitor usage and trends to improve their services and websites and for strategic planning purposes.
When you click a link to a merchant site displayed on our Services, you demonstrate your intent to engage with that business through our Services. This action directs us to share certain information about you (including the link you clicked on our Services and a unique code assigned to track that your shopping originated from our Services) with an affiliate network or the merchant to accurately account for your purchases with the merchant. Our affiliate partners may also use information pertaining to your purchase and activity to measure performance, add it to their user profiles, or combine it with information they collect elsewhere, potentially making it available for use by their other business clients. The opt-out option we provide in the State Privacy Rights section above would result in our requesting that these affiliates not collect or use your information from our Services except as necessary to validate and provide your Abound Dollars.
Furthermore, to the limited extent that we conduct direct marketing to you or personalize the offers you see on our Services based on profile data compiled from your behavior tracked via our Services for the direct benefit of a specific merchant, this marketing or personalization may also be considered "selling," "sharing," or processing for "targeted advertising" purposes of your personal information. In this scenario, the opt-out option provided in the State Privacy Rights section above, would cover this type of targeted marketing and personalization. We may use information we collect about you in combination with information from current and prospective merchant partners to test and analyze how our Services assist merchants and business partners. The information we share with and receive from a merchant or business partner for this analysis may include online shopping identifiers (such as shopping IDs, order IDs), email address, and Commercial Information (such as whether a purchase was made and the corresponding order value). We may use the results from these tests in an aggregated and deidentified manner to improve our Services and to market our Services to merchants and business clients. You may opt out of our disclosure of your information to these specific third parties for this purpose as outlined in the State Privacy Rights section above.
To expand your options for signing up for our Services and starting your Abound Dollars shopping from third-party sites where you learn about our Services, we may partner with certain referral marketing business partners to enable that functionality. This may require us to share certain data about you with them. For instance, if you are referred to our Services from a business partner's website, we may provide that partner with information about your sign-up to validate the referral and activate your Services account access from the partner's site. Additionally, we may disclose information about whether you have made a recent purchase with us and whether you have installed our mobile app or browser extension so that the partner can personalize their email and site content for you.
To deliver targeted advertising and marketing services, we partner with certain third parties that automatically collect internet activity information about your use of the Services, such as your browsing history, IP address, pages viewed, and links clicked. They use this information to serve you ads for our Services on other sites you visit. Some of these third parties may also use this collected information to draw inferences about you for their own purposes or separately collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites (in addition to our Services) to help predict your preferences and display ads to you that are more likely to be of interest to you.
You may have the right to opt-out of our sharing of your information with certain third parties for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising purposes. To exercise this right, you can opt out via the instructions in the State Privacy Rights section above, to the extent that these laws apply to you. Note that this Privacy Policy covers only our use of data and does not include further use of data by third parties. If you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising more generally, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices/.
To offer you additional redemption options for your Abound Dollars and to market credit and/or debit products to you, we may share your collected information, including identifiers, with financial business partners, which may include other group companies of Times Internet Limited. If you indicate that you would like to receive information about credit and/or debit products from our financial partner(s), you are also directing us to share your information with those parties to enable them to provide that information.
We may also disclose personal information about you to our financial partners to facilitate their marketing purposes and, in some instances, for the financial partner to directly send marketing to you. This could be considered "selling," "sharing," or processing for "targeted advertising" under applicable U.S. state privacy laws, and you may opt-out of this disclosure for partner marketing as outlined in State Privacy Rights section above, if these laws apply to you.
We may disclose the information we collect, including personal information, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) in response to subpoenas or other legal processes, or if, in our good faith opinion, such disclosure is required or permitted by law without a specific disclosure; (ii) at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation; (iii) to enforce our terms and conditions or other policies applicable to our Services; and (iv) to protect the rights, property, life, health, security, and safety of Abound or any third party.

You can report suspected fraud involving us by sending an email to legal@joinabound.com. Please include the word "phishing" in the subject line of your email and provide as much information as possible about the fraudulent activity or message. We do not send emails requesting a user for payment information, username, or passwords. However, we may verify the username, password, etc., provided by you from time to time.
The safety and security of your information (including personal information) also depends on you.
