Privacy Policy
==============
Last Updated: 11.12.2019
This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures of Taler Systems SA
(“we,” “our,” or “us”) pertaining to the collection, use, and disclosure of
your information on our sites and related mobile applications and products we
offer (the “Services” or “Taler Wallet”). This Privacy Statement applies to
your personal data when you use our Services, and does not apply to online
websites or services that we do not own or control.
Overview
--------
Your privacy is important to us. We follow a few fundamental principles: We
dont ask you for personally identifiable information (defined below). That
being said, your contact information, such as your phone number, social media
handle, or email address (depending on how you contact us), may be collected
when you communicate with us, for example to report a bug or other error
related to the Taler Wallet. We dont share your information with third
parties except when strictly required to deliver you our Services and
products, or to comply with the law. If you have any questions or concerns
about this policy, please reach out to us at privacy@taler-systems.net.
How you accept this policy
--------------------------
By using our Services or visiting our sites, you agree to the use, disclosure,
and procedures outlined in this Privacy Policy.
What personal information do we collect from our users?
-------------------------------------------------------
The information we collect from you falls into two categories: (i) personally
identifiable information (i.e., data that could potentially identify you as an
individual) (“Personal Information”), and (ii) non-personally identifiable
information (i.e., information that cannot be used to identify who you are)
(“Non-Personal Information”). This Privacy Policy covers both categories and
will tell you how we might collect and use each type.
We do our best to not collect any Personal Information from Taler Wallet
users. We believe that the Taler Wallet never transmits personal information
to our services without at least clear implied consent, and we only process
and retain information with a strict business need. That being said, when
using our Services, we inherently have to collect the following information:
* Bank account details necessary when receiving funds from you to top-up your wallet or to transfer funds to you when you are being paid via Taler. At the current experimental stage, only the pseudonym and password you entered in the bank demonstrator is stored.
* The amounts being withdrawn or deposited, with associated unique transaction identifiers and cryptographic signatures authorizing the transaction. Note that for purchases, we cannot identify the buyer from the collected data, so when you spend money, we only receive non-personal information.
* When you contact us. We may collect certain information if you choose to contact us, for example to report a bug or other error with the Taler Wallet. This may include contact information such as your name, email address or phone number depending on the method you choose to contact us.
How we collect and process information
--------------------------------------
We may process your information for the following reasons:
* to transfer money as specified by our users (Taler transactions);
* to assist government entities in linking income to the underlying contract as required by law and local regulations
* to support you using the Taler Wallet or to improve our Services
How we share and use the information we gather
----------------------------------------------
We may share your Personal Data or other information about you only if you are
a merchant receiving income, with your bank, to the degree necessary to
execute the payment.
We retain Personal Data to transfer funds to the accounts designated by our
users. We may retain Personal Data only for as long as mandated by law and
required for the wire transfers.
We primarily use the limited information we receive directly from you to
enhance the Taler Wallet. Some ways we may use your Personal Information are
to: Contact you when necessary to respond to your comments, answer your
questions, or obtain additional information on issues related to bugs or
errors with the Taler Wallet that you reported.
Agents or third party partners
------------------------------
We may provide your Personal Information to our employees, contractors,
agents, service providers, and designees (“Agents”) to enable them to perform
certain services for us exclusively, including: improvement and maintenance of
our software and Services.
Protection of us and others
---------------------------
We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information
that we reasonably believe is necessary to comply with the law or a court
order.

this Privacy Policy, and we reserve the right to do so at any time. If we do
revise this Privacy Policy, we will update the “Effective Date” at the bottom

we generally do not collect contact information and also do not track your
visits, we will not be able to notify you directly. However, the Taler Wallet
may inform you about a change in the privacy policy once it detects that the
policy has changed. Please review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure that
you are aware of its terms. Any use of our Services after an amendment to our
Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance to the revised or amended
agreement.
