End User Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 22, 2025
We at Subtotal, Inc. (together with our affiliates, “Subtotal,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy sets forth our policies and practices with respect to data that we collect from or about you (“Personal Data”) when you use our website, online tools, applications, and services (collectively, “Services”) — for example, when you use Subtotal to connect and share your information with the apps and websites you use. These apps and websites are owned and maintained by our business customers (“Developers”).
By using or accessing our Services, you accept the practices and policies outlined below, and you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Data as set forth in this Policy.
Remember that your use of Subtotal’s Services is at all times subject to our Terms of Service, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Service.
What this Privacy Policy Covers
This Policy describes the data we collect when you access or use our Services and explains how we use and share that information. This Policy does not cover the policies or practices of companies we don’t own or control or people we don’t manage, such as Developers. You should review the privacy policies and terms of service for those Developers’ apps and websites for information about their practices.
This Policy also does not apply to personal information we collect from and about Developers, which is governed by our Developer Privacy Policy.

Data Security
We seek to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. We make reasonable efforts to maintain physical, technical, and administrative security measures appropriate to the risk associated with the processing of your Personal Data. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system is completely secure.
Data Retention
We retain Personal Data for as long as necessary to provide our Services and to fulfill the purposes for which we collected the data, including for the purposes of complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and collecting fees. When establishing a retention period for specific categories of data, we consider who we collected the data from, our need for the data, our reason for collecting the data, and the amount and sensitivity of the data.
If we aggregate, de-identify, or anonymize data such that it can no longer be used to identify you personally, we may use that information indefinitely without further notice to you.

In certain cases, we may be required or permitted by law to deny your request.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will publish an updated version and effective date on this page and provide additional notice as required by law — for example, by sending you an email. If you’ve opted not to receive emails from us, or you haven’t given us your email address, our notices about this Policy will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to this Policy have been posted, that means you consent to the changes.
