KarbonPay may use your user information for advertising purposes in order to promote the Services, and the products and services of third parties. To develop and provide content and advertising to you that is targeted to your interests, we use the analytics collected by the systems described above to determine which aspects of our Services you prefer based upon the frequency of your visits and engagement with those areas.

Organizational Account Information

Some experiences and features within the Service allow you to interact with an organization, such as your employer. If you are granted access to an organization account, the owner of the organization or a designated administrator may control and administer details of your account, for example, by deciding your access rights; making decisions about your personal information, such as payroll details; or requiring you to take certain actions (for example, location and clocking-in/out for a shift). If your access rights are amended by the owner or designated administrator, then you may lose access to the information that is in the control of the organization. 

Your use of the Service as part of an organization’s account may be subject to the organization’s policies, which may be different from this Privacy Policy.  We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other organizations, and you should consider both the organization’s policies and whether you are comfortable enabling the organization with access to your information prior to connecting to the party’s services.

Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
