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.
