For What Purposes Does Faliam Use Your Personal Information?
We use all of the information we have to help us provide, operate, develop, improve and support our services. These purposes include:
1. Purchase and delivery of products and services. We use your personal information to take and handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, and communicate with you about orders, products and services, and promotional offers.
2. Provide our Services: Using the information you provide, we are able to deliver our Services with personalized content that is intended to help your business. This includes information we retrieve as your authorized agent from third-party services that are organized and displayed for you on Faliam, such as product pricing and availability information. The information you provide also allows us to send information back to third-party services, such as when you add an item to a third-party eCommerce cart. Additionally, information about how you use and interact with our services helps us personalize content to maximize the relevancy of our Services to you. For instance, your recently viewed or recently added to cart items are used in lists and recommendations to improve your experience with our Services. Other information collected during your use of the Services may be used, in aggregate with data from other users, to provide features of the Services, such as a display of popular or trending products.
3. Improve our Services: Information largely about how you use our Services is anonymized and used by the Faliam, from time to time, to improve our Services. For instance, how frequently features or user interface elements are used help us determine the merit of those features or interface elements, and helps us improve our Services for all users. We may test features in development, or issue voluntary surveys from time to time, the results of which will also be used to evaluate and improve our Services. Information about device information and geographic location are used primarily in aggregated form to improve future development of our services, or to troubleshoot bugs experienced by our users.
4. Support the community: Information you provide, especially contributions to Faliam discussions, are stored and displayed publicly for other users, with the intention of helping your peers improve their businesses.

We also use your information to respond to you when you contact us. We may in the future use your information to send you marketing communications when you are opted-in to receive such communications in your communications preferences, such as manufacturer discounts, specials, and exclusive offers relevant to your business.
7. Promote safety and security: We use the information we have to help verify accounts and activity, prevent and detect fraud and abuse, and to promote safety and security on our Services, such as by investigating suspicious activity, unauthorized use of our Services, or violations of our terms or policies, in order to protect the security of our customers, Faliam, and others.

Does Faliam Share Your Personal Information
Information about our customers is an important part of our business. We are not in the business of selling our customers' personal information to others. We may share customers' personal information in the following situations:
1. Third-party supplier integrations: When you’ve authorized us to connect your third-party supplier accounts to Faliam, select information is shared with those services, including items added to or removed from carts, or quantities desired changed in carts. All information shared with or received from these third parties is used exclusively to provide our Services. When you authorize Faliam to share your information with third party suppliers, your information will be shared in the same manner as if you were using such third party suppliers services directly. We do not reveal your use of Faliam to third party suppliers without your consent.
2. Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include processing payments on our online store and storing and delivering products. These third-party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
3. Sharing within Faliam: We share information we have about you within Faliam to provide and improve our Services. Some information, such as login information to third- party services, may not be viewable or accessible by Faliam since it is transmitted to us in code and stored in an encrypted and hashed format
4. New authorized user of account: If due to personnel changes your account needs to be transferred to a new authorized representative at your businesses, some account information may be shared with the new representative at the discretion of Faliam to preserve the integrity of the account.
5. Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Faliam, Inc. or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
6. Protection of Faliam and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Faliam, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

How do we respond to legal requests?
Government agencies can ask Faliam to disclose user information in response to a legal request. We carefully review each request to make sure it satisfies applicable laws. If a request asks for too much information, we try to narrow it down.
This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where that response is required by law in that jurisdiction.
We may also access, preserve and share information when it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations.
