Personal Information We Collect or Process

"Personal information" means information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person. It does not include information that has been de-identified so that it can no longer be reasonably linked to you. Depending on how you use the Services and where you live, we may collect or process:

• Contact details, including your name, phone number, and email address.
• Account information, including your username, preferences, and settings.
• Inbox content, limited to promotional emails, receipts, order confirmations, and related metadata. We access your inbox to identify and classify this category of message. We do not read, store, or analyze personal or non-promotional correspondence.
• Reward and eligibility information, including your age confirmation, state of residence, and information needed to fulfill Visa Prepaid rewards or physical prizes through our reward partners.
• Communications with us, such as the content of support inquiries.
• Device information, including device type, operating system, and app usage data needed to operate and improve the Services.

How We Access Your Inbox

Vlingo connects to your email account to identify promotional messages, receipts, and order confirmations, and to organize them into your Locker. This access is limited to that purpose. We cannot send email from your account. Personal or non-promotional messages are not read, stored, or analyzed. You can disconnect your inbox at any time from your profile; disconnecting stops future scanning but may affect features like your Locker or pending rewards, as noted in the app at the time you disconnect.

We may collect consumer account or email log-in credentials and any other information necessary so that  Vlingo , as your agent, can read promotional information and digital receipts in your consumer account or email. We will only use promotions and/or disclose receipt and other related information in your email if you consent by signing up for this program." Consent can be revoked anytime by disabling participation in the app.

On what happens once connected: "In processing your Promotions and Digital Receipts, Vlingo may scan for any data believed to be a promotional in those email accounts or the linked consumer account."

For Gmail Users: We comply with the API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements, and use information collected through your participation in our Deal Locker program from your Gmail account only to provide you with and improve user-facing features on the App or Website such creating and managing ‘Deal lockers’ and ‘rewards’ related to your contribution of promotions.

Our use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
