For the purposes of this Policy, ‘Customer’, as the term is used here, refers to an individual or an entity that registers to use our Services.

Please, do not use Services if you are not ready to accept the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.

Scope of privacy policy

MyBill.lk is committed to protecting the privacy of the individuals on MyBill.lk websites, mobile applications, products and services, (collectively, "Services").

By registering for or using Services you acknowledge the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information, as described in this Privacy Policy.

  • Customer Information, being personal information relating to our Customers (where applicable). We collect this information so that we can provide our Services to those Customers. For the purposes, we are the 'data controller' (where applicable) of this Customer Information and we collect and store it for the purposes of providing our Services to Customers and maintaining records and contact details relating to those Services and Customers. This policy sets out how MyBill.lk process your information as a Customer.
  • Consumer information, being personal information relating to consumers with whom our Customers interact (such as consumers of their products or services) including their email address, phone number or other information.
  • Employee information, being personal information relating to employees of our Customers, including email address, phone number or other information.

Customers are solely responsible for establishing policies for and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as all privacy policies, agreements or other obligations, relating to the collection of personal information in connection with the use of our Services by individuals with whom our Customers interact. We collect information under the direction of our Customers, and have no direct relationship with individuals whose personal information we process in connection with the use of our Services. If you are a Customer providing information (including personal information) about someone else, you must have the legal ability to do so and, if necessary, inform them about how their personal information will be used (as described in this Privacy Policy). If you are an individual who interacts with a Customer using our Services - for instance if you’re an employee or consumer of a retail store – that Customer is the controller of your information and you should contact them directly (e.g. - the owner or manager of the retail store) – for assistance with any requests or questions relating to your personal information.

What information we collect

We collect information about you when you provide it to us, when you use our Services. The ways we collect it can be broadly categorized into the following.

INFORMATION YOU DIRECTLY PROVIDE TO US:

Account and profile information.

We collect following information about you when you register for an account, create or modify your profile, set preferences, sign-up for or make purchases through the Services

  • Contact information such as name, email address and country
  • Profile information such as business phone number

Operational data.

We also store information you upload to or send through our Services, including:

  • Information about products and services the Customer sells (including inventory, pricing, sale, transaction, tax, and other data)
  • Information about the Customer or the Customer’s business (employees, consumers and suppliers)

Information you provide through our support channels.

The Services also include customer support, where you may choose to submit information regarding a problem you are experiencing with a Service . Whether you designate yourself as a technical contact, speak to one of our representatives directly or otherwise engage with our support team, we may ask you to provide contact information, a summary of the problem you are experiencing, and any other documentation, screenshots or information that would be helpful in resolving the issue.

Payment Information

We collect certain payment and billing information when you subscribe for certain paid Services. For example, we ask you to designate a billing representative, including name and contact information. You might also provide payment information, such as payment card details, which we collect via secure payment processing services.

Other submissions

We ask for and collect personal information from you when you submit web forms on our websites or when you participate in any interactive features of our Services, participate in a survey, promotion, activity or event, request customer support, communicate with us via third party social media sites, or otherwise communicate with us.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU USE THE SERVICES

Access logs

Like with most websites and services delivered over the Internet, we gather certain information and store it in log files when you interact with our websites and Services. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses as well as browser type, URLs of referring/exit pages, operating system, language and location preferences, time/date stamp, search history, device identification numbers and system configuration information. Occasionally, we connect personal information to information gathered in our log files as is necessary to improve our Services. If we do this, we would treat the combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy

Analytics information.

We collect analytics information when you use our Services to help us improve our products and services.

Analytics information derived from operational data.

Analytics information also consists of data we collect as a result of running queries against Operational Data across our user base for the purposes of generating Usage Data. "Usage Data" is aggregated data about a category or group of features, services, or users that is not of itself personal information. It is also data about our Customers and their business.

We may incidentally come across personal information when we compile Usage Data.

Security

We have adopted technical, administrative and physical procedures to collect, manage, maintain and store information in a manner designed to help protect your information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, and alteration. Unfortunately, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.

Where data is transferred over the Internet as part of the Services, the data is encrypted using industry standard TLS (HTTPS).

Updates to our privacy policy

MyBill.lk reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, and if we do we will post any changes on this page. If you disagree with these changes, you can cancel your account at any time and/or stop your use of our Services.
