MerkurXtip Privacy Policy

MerkurXtip respects the privacy of its users and is committed to protecting personal data collected through our website and online services.

We process your data primarily for the following purposes:

1. Account creation and management: We collect and store information such as username, email address, password (hashed), and profile details to facilitate account creation and maintenance.
2. User interaction: When you engage with our content or features on the website or mobile application, we may process data related to your interactions, including login history, pages visited, searches conducted, and any comments or feedback provided.
3. Communication: If you consent to receive communications from us, such as newsletters or promotional offers, we will store your email address and other relevant contact information for the purpose of sending these updates.

We also collect non-personal data automatically through our systems:

• Log files: We maintain records of website access logs, which include IP addresses, browser types, operating system versions, device details, and timestamps.
• Cookies and local storage: To enhance user experience and functionality, we use cookies to store preferences, session IDs, and other relevant information. This data does not directly identify individuals but helps us tailor our content and features.

Data sharing

In specific circumstances, MerkurXtip may share your personal or non-personal data with third parties:

1. Affiliated companies: As a subsidiary, we may transfer data between affiliates for business purposes, such as marketing collaboration or joint promotions.
