LIMITED INFORMATION SHARING
We value your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information we collect. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.

THIRD PARTY PROCESSORS
We may employ third parties outside of InBytee in order to process your order, and to whom you may be required to provide your name, address, and other personal information, such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and payment account details. For example, to validate and charge your debit card or credit card (“payment method”), we use a third-party payment processing company, Stripe, Inc.. Although users can submit payment method information to pay for an order through InBytee, we do not receive this information ourselves nor do we store it in our servers. Payment method information is transmitted directly to Stripe, through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and/or Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology, an industry-standard Internet connection utilized for sensitive data. Stripe then communicates to InBytee whether your payment has cleared, but does not provide payment account information to InBytee. Stripe's privacy policy is available here.

InBytee will retain your information until your account with us is terminated, or until you withdraw your consent (where applicable), or for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected as described in this Policy.

We may de-identify personal information ourselves or collect data in a de-identified form from the outset.
