If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set your browser so that your computer does not accept them. We may also log IP addresses (the electronic addresses of computers connected to the Internet) to analyze trends, administer this site, track user movements on this site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use by us and our advertisers and business partners.

Any user may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert them when cookies are being sent. If the User does this some parts of the Site may not function properly or be accessible.

Third Party apps

Selz’s platform allows merchants to connect their stores with third party applications to alter or provide new functionalities in their store. Selz is not responsible for and has no control over how these apps function. Merchants ultimately can control which apps they choose to use with their stores, and are responsible for making sure that they do so in compliance with relevant privacy and data protection requirements.

Account closure and your personal data

In general, we will continue to store archived copies of your personal information for legitimate business purposes and to comply with the law, except when we receive a valid erasure request or, if you are a merchant, you terminate your account and your information is purged pursuant to our standard process.

We will continue to store anonymous or anonymized information, such as website visits, without identifiers, in order to improve our Services.

How we store and secure your personal information

We follow industry standards on information security management to safeguard sensitive information, such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details and any other personal information entrusted to us. Our information security systems apply to people, processes and information technology systems on a risk management basis.

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.

Residents of the European Economic Area

Selz works with merchants and users around the world, including in the EEA. If you are located in the EEA, as part of our service, we may transfer your personal information to other regions, including to Australia, the United States and The Philippines. In order to ensure that your information is protected when transferred out of the EEA, Selz relies on standard contractual data protection clauses, which have been approved by the European Commission.

If you are located in the EEA, you have certain rights under European law with respect to your personal data, including the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your personal data. If you are a merchant, a partner, a visitor of Selz’s websites, or a user of Selz’s support services and wish to exercise these rights, please reach out to us using the contact information below. If you are a buyer and wish to exercise these rights, please contact the merchants you interacted with directly -- we serve as a processor on their behalf, and can only forward your request to them to allow them to respond.

Additionally, if you are located in the EEA, we note that we are generally processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above, unless we are required by law to obtain your consent for a particular processing operation.

If you have unresolved concerns, you may have the right to complain to a data protection authority in the country where you live, where you work or where you feel your rights were infringed.

How we transfer information we collect internationally

We collect information globally and primarily store that information in the United States. We transfer, process and store your information outside of your country of residence, to wherever we or our third-party service providers operate for the purpose of providing you the Services. Whenever we transfer your information, we take steps to protect it, however these countries may not have equivalent privacy and data protection laws to the laws of many of the countries where our customers and users are based.

When we share information about you within and among Selz affiliates, we make use of standard contractual data protection clauses, which have been approved by the European Commission.
