General

Even Responsible, Inc. ("Even," "we," "us" and/or "our") is dedicated to protecting your personal information and informing you about how we use it. This privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy" or the "Policy") is intended to provide information to our visitors ("you," "your") about how we collect, protect, share and use your information as part of our technology platforms, including, without limitation, our company website (the "Site"), mobile sites and/or applications (together with the Site, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy outlines how and when Even collects, protects, shares, and uses information that can identify you individually ("Personal Information"), such as your name, email, date of birth, social security number, telephone number, employment information, financial information (such as paycheck information, account information (including account balance and transaction history) or debit card numbers), or identifiers and login information, such as your username and password, or a security token.

Personal Information does not include information that is anonymous, aggregated, or can no longer be used to identify you as an individual.

Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information through the Services. By using or submitting information through the Services, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into Even's Terms and Conditions at https://even.com/terms. Any capitalized term that is not defined in this Policy shall have the meaning given to it in the Terms and Conditions. This Privacy Policy covers the privacy practices of Even only. This Policy does not apply to the practices of third party websites, services or applications, including third parties with which we partner. These third party services are governed by each such third party's privacy policy. Even is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of technology platforms other than that of Even, and Even is not responsible for the failure of unaffiliated third parties to honor their privacy obligations. By including a link to a third party website, we do not endorse or recommend any products or services offered or information contained at the third party website. If you decide to visit a third-party website via a link contained on the Services, you do so at your own risk.

Information We Collect

When you interact with us through the Services, we may collect Personal Information and other information from you, as further described below:

Personal Information That You Provide Through the Services

We collect Personal Information from you when you provide such information, such as when you create an account ("Account"), complete and/or use one of our online forms, tools or content items, contact us with inquiries, respond to one of our surveys, or use certain Services. If you sign up for the Services, you will be asked to provide Personal Information such as your email address, first and last name, telephone number, date of birth, Social Security number, banking information, government issued ID, alias or unique personal identifier, signature, usernames and passwords, and other information that identifies you. We may also collect Personal Information such as education, audio, and visual information about you if you participate in surveys or research.

Information We Collect Automatically

Site Usage Information: Even may use a variety of technologies that passively or automatically collect information about how the Services are accessed and used, including your browser type, device type, operating system, application version, the pages served to you, the time you browse, preceding page views, and your use of particular features of the Services. This statistical data helps us understand what is interesting and relevant to users of the Services so that we can best tailor our content to you.

Our Site also may collect personal information using cookies, which are small text files that are saved to your browser. You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies using your web browser settings. If you choose not to accept cookies from the Services, you may not be able to take full advantage of its features or to receive some of the services that it provides. To learn more about cookies and your ability to opt-out of certain advertising cookies, please visit the following websites: http://www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

Device Identifiers: Even also automatically collects an IP address or other unique identifier for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively "Device") you use to access the Services. A "Device Identifier" is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. We may use a Device Identifier to, among other things, administer the Services, help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze trends, track users' web page movements, monitor against theft and fraud, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. If you access the Services on a mobile Device, we may request access to settings and location information for similar purposes and to personalize your experience with the Services. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services or push notifications.

Session Trackers: In operating the Services, we may use cookies and similar session tracking technologies ("Session Trackers"). Session trackers help provide additional functionality to the Services, customize users' experiences with the Services and help us analyze Services 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 Services, and to personalize your experience while using our Services. If you would prefer not to accept Session Trackers when using the Services, 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 Services and other parts of our Services may not work properly. As a result, we recommend that you leave Session Trackers turned on when accessing the Services because they allow you to take advantage of some of the 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 Services. We may also use customized links or other similar technologies to track hyperlinks that you click and associate that information with your Personal Information in order to provide you with more focused communications.

Non-Personal Information: Additionally, we may modify and combine Personal Information in a manner that does not personally identify you or any other individual and thus, no longer constitutes "Personal Information". We may use this non-Personal Information, such as aggregate user statistics, demographic information, and usage information, for any lawful purpose.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third parties.

Information From Your Employer: We may receive Personal Information about you from your employer. We compare this information with the Personal Information we request from you when you use the Services in order to verify your employment. In addition, we may receive additional information about your employment from your employer, including your start and end dates, location of your workplace, pay period, pay rate, work schedule, and job title.

If you choose to connect your time and attendance, payroll or other human resources information systems by providing your username and password to us through our Service, we may also obtain employment information about you from those Third Parties. When you provide username and password information, you give Even the authority to act on your behalf to access your Personal Information from the relevant financial service provider or other entity that holds your Personal Information. The information we receive from the financial service providers or other entities varies depending on the information made available by those providers.

We may also receive Personal Information about you from the third parties, such as financial data vendors or financial services companies with whom we've partnered, to evaluate your eligibility for an Account, to enhance our ability to tailor our services to you, or for other reasons. If we combine such data with information we collect through the Services, such information is subject to this Privacy Policy, unless we have disclosed otherwise.

Plaid Technologies, Inc. ("Plaid"). We use Plaid to gather your data from financial institutions. By using the Services, you grant us and Plaid the right, power, and authority to act on your behalf to access and transmit your personal and financial information from the relevant financial institution.
