Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal data we process as a data controller, that is, as the party that
determines what personal data to collect and for what purposes. You provide some of this data directly,
and we get some of it by collecting data about your interactions, use, and experiences with the Service
as further explained in this Policy.

If you use the Service through an enterprise customer of Floro, such as your employer, university or
school, the processing of your personal data is determined by that customer. This Privacy Policy does not
apply to the processing of personal information that we handle on behalf of our enterprise customers.
Our use of that information is governed by our agreements with those customers. If you use the Service
through a Floro enterprise customer and you have questions about how and why your personal data is
collected, the legal basis for processing, or requests regarding your personal data, please refer to such
customer’s privacy policy and direct your inquiries to such customer or its administrator.

Service by designating it as required at the time of collection or through other appropriate means.

party platform, that choice will not apply to information that we have already received from that third
party.


Other sites, mobile applications and services

The Service may contain links to other websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated
by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any
third party. In addition, our content may be included on web pages or in mobile applications or online
services that are not associated with us. We do not control third party websites, mobile applications or
online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites and services follow
different rules regarding the collection, use and sharing of your personal information. We encourage you

Security practices

The security of your personal information is important to us. We employ a number of organizational,
technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However,
security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the
security of your personal information.


International data transfers

We are headquartered in the United States and may have service providers in other countries, and your
personal information may be transferred to the United States or other locations outside of your state,
province, or country where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or
country.

European Union users should read the important information provided below about transfer of personal
information outside of the European Union.


Children

The Service is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under
the age of 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with
information without their consent, they should contact us. We will delete such information from our files
as soon as reasonably practicable. We encourage parents with concerns to contact us.


Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy
Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on the Service. We
may, and if required by law will, also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is
reasonably likely to reach you, such as via e-mail (if you have an account where we have your contact

Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the new terms and/or upon
implementation of the new changes on the Service (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In
all cases, your continued use of the Service after the posting of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your

Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Cheqout Payments, Inc. (“Floro”, "Cheqout", “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar
technologies in connection with our website located at floro.io and any other website that
we or our affiliates own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the “Sites”).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.
Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you
navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your
browsing experience.

Our Sites may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent
cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them).
We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or
mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Sites; and
(2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our Sites, and can
be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites.
Third party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising and social
media features.


Other technologies

In addition to cookies, our Sites may use other technologies, such as Flash technology and pixel tags, to
collect information automatically.

Browser Web Storage/File System
We may use browser web storage (including via HTML5), also known as locally stored objects (“LSOs”),
for similar purposes as cookies. Browser web storage enables the storage of a larger amount of data than
cookies. Your web browser may provide functionality to clear your browser web storage.
Web Beacons

We may also use web beacons (which are also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our Sites and in our
HTML formatted emails to track the actions of users on our Sites and interactions with our emails. Unlike
cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags
are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to
demonstrate that a web page was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the
success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about
usage of the Sites, so that we can manage our content more effectively.

Your choices
Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser
settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that if
you set your browser to disable cookies, the Sites may not work properly.
For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer
or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you do not
accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Sites. For example, we
may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you
visit our Sites.

Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network
Advertising Initiative by clicking here or the Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here. European users
may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive
Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here, selecting the user’s country, and then clicking “Choices” (or
similarly-titled link). Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out
mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.
If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they
may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online
behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored
advertisements from companies that are not listed.
In order to fully understand your rights and determine how to reject the cookies of the providers listed
above, we suggest that you review your rights in the privacy policies of such providers.
For more information about how we collect, use and share your information, see our Privacy Policy
above.

Changes
Information about the cookies we use may be updated from time to time, so please check back on a
regular basis for any changes.

Questions
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us by email at
