What personal information does PayrollOrg collect?

Our goal is to become your destination for payroll-related information by providing information, services, and product offerings that are most relevant to you in the most convenient way. To achieve this goal, PayrollOrg collects personal information about site visitors. Personal information is any information that identifies you or makes you identifiable. We may collect personal information in the following ways:

What are "cookies" and how does PayrollOrg use them?

A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of your computer. This unique number identifies your Web browser - but not you - to PayrollOrg computers whenever you visit PayrollOrg websites. A cookie will not provide personally identifiable information about you, such as your name and address. The use of cookies is now an industry standard, and cookies are currently used on most major websites.

Cookies can be useful in many different ways, and we use cookies for a variety of purposes. PayrollOrg uses cookies to help it understand how the Services are being used, such as whether you spent more time on a certain part of the Services, whether you experienced any technical issues, and more. Some of the functions performed by cookies are strictly necessary for us to be able to offer you our Services, while other cookies provide us with valuable insight about how we can improve our Services or help us with marketing our products and Services to you based on your interests and preferences.

We use the cookies described below on our Services:

Strictly Necessary: Some of the cookies we use are necessary to provide our Services to you. For example, these cookies help you: see the right information when you login to our Services; navigate from page to page without having to sign in on every page; detect, prevent, and mitigate malicious and fraudulent activities on our Services; support and enable other security features. Without such cookies, some of our Services cannot be provided to you.
Functional: Functional cookies collect information about how you use our Services, provide you with certain functions on our Services, and they remember your preferences. For example, these cookies allow our Services to remember your language selection or username as you navigate through our Services. Functional cookies also perform important functions for your use of the Services.
Analytics, Performance, and Research: These cookies help us understand how well our Services are doing. They collect information about your use and interaction with our Services so that we can continue to improve and expand our Services.
Marketing: Our marketing cookies allow us to collect information about your interactions with our marketing activities, such as parts of our website and our emails. Such cookies measure how you interact with our marketing communications to determine, among other things, how effective a marketing campaign is. For example, we may measure whether certain marketing communications resulted in purchases.
Advertising: These cookies deliver relevant advertisements to you off of our Services. Our advertising partners will collect information about your interaction with their advertisements to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaign and to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests.

The length of time a cookie will stay on your browsing device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Each category of cookie listed above is either a session cookie or persistent cookie.

We use "persistent cookies" to save information about you for longer periods of time, such as your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Service. We also use "session cookies" to collect and store information about you until you close your browser, such as information about your interactions with the Service.

Persistent cookies are stored for varied lengths of time depending on the purpose of the cookie collection and tool used. You can delete cookie data as described below.

Below we describe how you can manage first-party and third-party cookies on our Services:

First-Party Cookies: You can enable, disable or delete cookies via your browser settings. To do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser, usually located within the "Help," "Tools," or "Edit" settings of your browser.

How does PayrollOrg use the personal information it collects?

PayrollOrg collects information to provide you with the Services you request and to improve our websites. Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a secure, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. In general, we use personal information to create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our Services, content, and advertising. Your relationship with PayrollOrg will determine which purposes apply to you. Examples of how we may use this information include:

To Provide You With Services. When you access our website or otherwise use your Services, we collect certain information about you to be able to support your requests and manage your membership. For example, we may collect information about you and your company when you complete an inquiry form on our Services to hear more about our products and services. We cannot provide you with our Services without processing your personal information.
Enforce Our Terms, Agreements or Policies. We process your personal information to enforce certain terms, agreements, and policies relevant to our relationship with you, including any agreements with third-party partners. We will also collect fees based on your use of the Services, and actively monitor, investigate, prevent or mitigate any alleged or actual prohibited, illicit, or illegal activities on our Services. This processing allows us to maintain a trusted environment for you. We cannot perform the Services without such processing.
To Provide Customer Support. Whenever you contact us for customer support or any other reason (e.g., diagnose or fix technology problems, provide feedback, notify us of a dispute, etc.), we process any information you provide to us and any information we already have about you. Without processing your personal information for such purposes, we cannot respond to you or ensure your continued use and enjoyment of the Services.
To Provide You With Administrative Communications. We will contact you to keep you updated about your account and the Services, such as changes to this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use and our other policies, security updates, or to provide transaction-related information to you. Without such communications, we cannot provide you with important information about your continued use of our Services.
To Provide Secure Services. We are committed to ensuring your personal information is processed securely on our Services. To maintain the security of our Services, we may process your personal information to investigate, detect, prevent or report fraud, misrepresentation, security incidents or breaches, spam, malware, malicious activities or other prohibited or illegal activities. In addition, we process your personal information to improve the security of our Services. We cannot provide the Services securely without such processing.
To Develop New Ways to Understand Our Members' Requirements. We process your personal information to strengthen our understanding of our members' needs and goals in using the Services, so that we may anticipate new features or products that will enhance our members' experiences and otherwise maintain and improve the Services.
To Conduct Research and Product Development. We may process your personal information to improve, optimize or expand our Services or features of our Services. We do so by processing information about your use of the Services, any information you provide to us (e.g., feedback, survey responses, etc.) and by measuring, tracking and analyzing trends and usage in connection to your use or the performance of our Services. Without processing your information for such purposes, we may not be able to ensure your continued enjoyment of part or all of our Services.
To Engage in Marketing Activities. We may process your personal information to: send you marketing communications; run contests, special offers or other events or activities; send you information about opportunities, products, services, contests, promotions, discounts, incentives, surveys, and rewards offered by us and select partners; or otherwise market our products and services, including targeted marketing. When you share your friends' or business partners' contact information with us, we may reach out to them on your behalf in accordance with applicable laws. You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time and without charge.

We will not use your personal information for purposes other than those purposes we have disclosed to you, without your permission. From time to time we may request your permission to allow us to share your personal information with third parties. Data collection that is optional will be clearly stated when collected. However, if you decide not to share required personal information with us, it may delay or stop us from meeting our obligations and this can also mean that we cannot perform Services needed to carry out requested transactions. We are required to collect certain personal information by law, and/or under the terms of a contract we have with you. By not sharing the required data with us, it may lead to cancelling a Service you have with us.

How does PayrollOrg share my personal information?

We may share your information as follows.

Affiliated Businesses. We may share your personal information with group companies and affiliates. Affiliated businesses may use your information to help provide, understand, and improve the Services and affiliates' own services.
Our Service Providers, Business Partners, and Others. We may share your personal information with our service providers, business partners or third-party organizations that help us provide the Services to you. Such entities will be given access to your information as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service under contractual obligations at least as protective as this Policy.
Anonymous or Aggregate Data. We may share anonymized or aggregated information with any third parties. Such information no longer reasonably identifies you. For instance, we disclose to third-party sponsors/advertisers aggregate statistics (i.e., impressions and click-throughs on a company's advertisement). Also, we may share aggregate website statistics with the media or other third parties. No personally identifiable information is disclosed to these sponsors/advertisers or other third parties as part of this process - only information in an aggregate form.
Change of Control. We may share your personal information with a subsequent owner, co-owner, or operator of our Services, or in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, or restructuring; financing, acquisition, divestiture, or dissolution of all or some portion of our business; or other corporate change. We will notify you with any choices you may have regarding your information.
Safety and Legal Compliance. We may share your personal information if we believe that such disclosure is necessary to: comply with any applicable laws, regulations, legal processes or requests by public authorities (e.g., law enforcement, tax authorities, etc.); protect you, us or our other users' rights or property, or to protect our Services; comply with or enforce our terms, agreements or policies.

How long does PayrollOrg keep my personal information?

We generally retain your personal information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes of collection or to comply with applicable law. Otherwise we will try to delete your personal information upon your request or when we no longer need it for the purposes for which we originally collected it.

We recognize that retention requirements can vary between jurisdictions, but we generally apply the retention periods described below.

Marketing Contact Information. We will retain your marketing contact information until you unsubscribe from our marketing communications. Upon your request to unsubscribe, we will store your contact information on our suppression list to ensure we do not send you marketing communications in the future.
Information About Your Use of the Services. We collect information about your interactions with our Services and we may store such information indefinitely for the establishment or defense of legal claims, audit, or fraud and/or crime prevention purposes.
Web Behavior Data. Any cookie information, including information collected via web beacons, flash cookies, or pixels, is retained up to one year from expiry of the cookie or the date of collection.

What kinds of security procedures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information?

This PayrollOrg website has security measures, such as firewalls, in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of your user data under our control. PayrollOrg has implemented strict rules for employees who have access either to the databases that store user information or to the servers that host our services. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration to data will not occur, we take many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. Any other particularly sensitive information, such as your credit card number, collected for a commerce transaction, is encrypted prior to transmission.

You are ultimately responsible for the security of your PayrollOrg ID and password. You may not share your PayrollOrg ID and password with colleagues or friends so they can access content or features on this PayrollOrg website that are restricted to PayrollOrg members only. You should log out of your browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, especially if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.

A withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of our processing or the processing of any third parties based on consent before your withdrawal.
2. Right of access. Upon your request, we will provide you with a copy of your personal information in our files without undue delay and free of charge, unless we are permitted by law to charge a fee. Your access may be limited to the extent it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals.

Your right to data portability only applies to personal information provided by you to us.
8. Notification to third parties. When we fulfill your individual rights requests for correction (or rectification), erasure or restriction of processing, we will notify third parties also handling the relevant personal information unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You also have a right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority situated in a Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of alleged infringement.

Do Not Track Policy
California law requires that operators of websites and online services disclose how they respond to a Do Not Track signal. Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the website or online service that a user visits, indicating that the user does not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret Do Not Track signals, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We continue to work with the online industry to define a common understanding of how to treat Do Not Track signals.

California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the right to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of your personal information with third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. California law provides that you have the right to submit a request to us at our designated address and receive the following information: (a) the categories of information we disclosed to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year; and (b) the names and addresses of third parties that received such information, or if the nature of their business cannot be determined from the name, then examples of the products or services marketed.

You are entitled to receive a copy of this information in a standardized format and the information will not be specific to you individually. You may make such a request by emailing [email protected].

Fraudulent Emails
Fraudulent emails adopt many different forms and are the unauthorized actions of third parties not associated with PayrollOrg. These email messages, also known as "phishing" or "spoofing," are becoming more common and may appear legitimate by incorporating company brands, colors, or other legal disclaimers. Learn more about protecting yourself from fraud.

Please be advised that PayrollOrg does not request payments, personal information, financial information, account numbers, IDs, passwords, or copies of invoices in an unsolicited manner through email, mail, phone, or fax. PayrollOrg also does not provide our list to other organizations to sell. PayrollOrg accepts no responsibility for any costs or charges incurred as a result of fraudulent activity.
