Last Updated: May 4, 2022

Tilled, Inc. (“Tilled,” “we” or “us”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We provide
tools and services to businesses and platforms to integrate, conduct and complete online payment
transactions. Please read this Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) before accessing or using the website
located at www.tilled.com or any successor website (the “Site”) or any applications, products, services,
features, tools, application programming interfaces and software accessed through the Site (collectively,
the “Services”).

Our Services may provide links to or make available integrations with third-party websites or applications (“Third-Party Sites”).

Such Third-Party Sites are outside our control and not covered by this Privacy Policy. Tilled is not liable for any information, content, products, services, software, or other materials available on or through Third-Party Sites. The use of a Third-Party Site or any information or other content found on Third-Party Sites is subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of such Third-Party Sites. Please consider the privacy policies of such third parties carefully.

    How We Share Your Personal Data

    Tilled may use and disclose your Personal Data that is collected through our Site and Services to run
    our everyday business and in accordance with applicable law and this Privacy Policy. We may share
    Personal Data with:

    • Financial service providers. Tilled shares your Personal Data with financial service providers, such as the institutions identified in your processing agreements, banks, card networks, and other service providers that help us with processing payments.
    • Service providers. Tilled may share your Personal Data with companies that provide tools, support, audits, or otherwise help to enhance or maintain the Services (such as email companies, fraud prevention companies, identity verification services, consumer reporting services, information storage companies, legal service firms, and information security companies). Third-party service providers have access to your personal information to perform these services but are prohibited from using your information for other purposes. Tilled will enter into data protection agreements with service providers that have access to your personal information, which will prohibit them from using or disclosing your personal information except for the purpose of providing the Site and Services. Tilled will not sell any personal information to third parties.
    • Partner Platforms and Merchants. If you access the Services through a Partner Platform or make a payment to a merchant using our Services, Tilled shares information about you with the Partner Platform and merchant, as applicable, including your Personal Data.
    • Referral partners. Where a business is referred to Tilled by a referral partner, Tilled may share business information, including, for example, name, transaction volume, and business status, with the referral partner as necessary to administer the referral arrangement, including to calculate fees, determine the business’s continued eligibility for the referral program and any preferred pricing, and servicing and managing the business’s account.
    • Protection of Tilled and Others. Tilled may disclose the information we collect and maintain about you if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, retention or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process (e.g., a subpoena or court order); (b) enforce this Privacy Policy, or other contracts with you, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties such as rights of privacy or intellectual property; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; and/or (e) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Tilled, its agents and affiliates, its users and/or the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes.
    • User Authorized Parties. Tilled shares your Personal Data with third parties when a user of our Services or an individual person has given us authorization.
    • For the Purpose for Which You Provide It: We may share information you provide for the purpose for which you provide it.
    • Intracompany: We may share your information with any affiliates and subsidiaries to operate our business.

    Tilled may also share or exchange deidentified, anonymized, or aggregated information to the extent permissible under applicable laws and regulations.

    We require all parties with whom we share data to respect the security of your Personal Data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

      Retention of your Personal Data

      We will store the Personal Data we collect for as long as reasonably necessary for purposes for which it
      was collected, subject to legal limitation periods, statutory or regulatory retention requirements, and
      legitimate business requirements, or as permitted by law.

      The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and
      used it, requirements of applicable laws, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the
      potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the resolution of any
      pending or threatened disputes, and enforcement of our agreements.

      When we no longer require the Personal Data, we will either delete or deidentify it, or if this is not
      possible, securely store it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and cease use of the Personal Data until
      deletion is possible. If we deidentify your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you
      and thus is no longer considered Personal Data under relevant laws), we may retain this information for
      longer periods.

      How We Protect Your Personal Data

      We take reasonable measures to protect all Personal Data in our possession. Our measures are meant to
      ensure the appropriate organizational and technical safeguards are in place to prevent the loss, misuse,
      unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of Personal Data. However, no electronic
      transmission or storage system of data is guaranteed to be error-free and completely secure.

      The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where
      you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping
      this password confidential. Do not share your password with anyone.

      Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we
      use measures to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data
      transmitted to our Services.

      Cross-Jurisdictional Transfers

      By providing your data to us, you acknowledge and agree that the Personal Data may be transferred to
      other jurisdictions for processing and storage, including in servers located across Canada and in the
      United States, where laws regarding the protection of Personal Data may be different than the laws in
      your jurisdiction. Further, Personal Data may be accessible to law enforcement, national security
      authorities, and the courts of such jurisdictions. Where necessary to make such transfers, we will comply
      with our legal and regulatory obligations in relation to the Personal Data. If you have any questions
      regarding our policies and practices relating to our storage and processing of Personal Data in other
      jurisdictions, please contact us as set forth in Section 12 below.
