1. Introduction
I Buy Beauty LLC. and DBA Go Check In. (“Go Check In”, “we”, “us” or “our”) provides a digital bill payment solution for small businesses. This Privacy Policy describes our practices concerning the information we receive or collect when you visit our website located at www.gocheckin.net (“Website”) or access our online platform through the website of one of our partners (collectively, “Services”). Specifically, it describes the information we collect, how and for which purposes we may use such information, where we store it and for how long we retain the information, with whom we may share it, our use of tracking technologies and communications, our security practices, your choices and rights regarding such information, our policy concerning children, and how to contact us if you have any concerns regarding this Policy or your privacy.
Please read this Privacy Policy and make sure that you fully understand and agree to it. If you do not agree to this Policy, please discontinue and avoid using our Services.
This document outlines our privacy guidelines, to which you agree by using this site. Regular updates of the privacy policy are completed, requiring you to check back on this policy from time to time. If not otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Use (the “Terms”). Information We Collect: In order to use our Website and some of our Services, you may be required to register and provide us with certain Personal Identifiable Information (“Personal Information”). We also collect Personal Information through your use of the Services generally and from third party websites and services. “Personal Information” means information that can be directly associated with a specific person or entity. Examples of the Personal Information that we may collect from you include name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number and expiration date, date of birth, and other personal information or information about activities directly linked to a person, such as that person’s location. You may be able to register through your Facebook account and may choose to log in through the Facebook Connect Feature, Twitter or Google Plus. By doing so, you are asking those entities to send us certain information from your profile and authorize us to collect, store and use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. It is your voluntary decision whether to provide us with any such Personal Information, but if you refuse to provide such information we may not be able to register you or allow certain uses of the Site and/or Services. In addition, when you use the Website certain non-personally identifiable information may be automatically gathered about your IP address, geo-location information, mobile device, browser type, browser language or operating system. We may use third party contractors to collect and aggregate this information. For more information, please see Cookies.
2. Information Collection
We collect the following main categories of information (and to the extent one or more of them may enable the identification of a specific person or is linked to such potentially identifying data, we will deem it “Personal Information”):
Information You Provide. You may provide us Personal Information such as your name, e-mail address, phone number, and hashed password when you use our Services, create a user account, or contact us. If you choose to make any payments via our Services, you may also provide us with your payment information and preferences, as well as information about any vendors receiving payment.
Information We Collect Automatically. When you visit, interact with or use our Services, we may collect certain technical data about you. We collect or generate such data either independently or with the help of third party services, including through the use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies (as further detailed in Section 6 below). Such data consists of sensor, location, connectivity, technical and aggregated usage data, such as your GPS/GNSS location data; home and work locations; IP addresses, wireless networks, cell towers and Wi-Fi access points; non-identifying data regarding a device, operating system, and browser; activity, communication, and performance logs; issues and bugs; and user activity on our Services. This data does not enable us to learn your true identity or contact details, and serves mostly to improve the overall performance of our Services, and to better understand how our users typically use our Services and how we could improve their user experience.
Information from Third Parties. We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, we may receive information about you from outside records of third parties, such as marketing-related or demographic information. We may supplement the information we collect about you through the Website and the Services with such information from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and/or to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. If we combine such data with information we collect through the Website or the Services, such information is subject to this Privacy Policy unless we have disclosed otherwise.
3. Information Use
We use your Personal Information as necessary for the performance of our Services; for complying with applicable law; and based on our legitimate interests in maintaining and improving our Services and offerings, understanding how our Services are used, optimizing our marketing, customer service and support operations, and protecting and securing our users, ourselves, and members of the general public.
Specifically, we use Personal Information for the following purposes:
• To facilitate, operate, and provide our Services;
• To authenticate the identity of our users, and to allow them to access and use our Services;

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Session Trackers. In operating the Website and the Services, we may use cookies and similar session tracking technologies (“Session Trackers”). Session Trackers help provide additional functionality to the Website, customize users’ experiences with the Website and help us analyze Website usage more accurately for research and product development purposes. We (including third parties that we work with) may place session trackers on your device for security purposes, to facilitate navigation of the Website or the Services, and to personalize your experience while using our Website or the Services. If you would prefer not to accept Session Trackers when using the Website or the Services, please follow the instructions provided by your website or mobile browser (usually located within the “Help”, “Tools” or “Edit” facility) to modify your Session Tracker settings. Please note that if you disable Session Trackers, you may not be able to access certain parts of our Website or Services and other parts of our Website or Services may not work properly. As a result, we recommend that you leave Session Trackers turned on when accessing the Website or the Services because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Website and Services’ features.
Web Beacons. In addition to Session Trackers, we may use web beacons (also known as “clear GIFs”), which are transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email and indicate that a page or email has been viewed or tell your browser to get content from another server. We use web beacons to measure traffic to or from, or use of, our online forms, tools or content items and related browsing behavior and to improve your experience when using the Website or the Services.
