Everwash takes reasonable steps to protect User privacy consistent with the guidelines set forth in this Privacy Policy and with all applicable laws. In this Privacy Policy, "User" or "you" means any person using the Service, whether by browsing the EverWash website or using EverWash mobile apps, paying for items and/or transactions using the EverWash application, engaging in loyalty and rewards programs ("Programs") offered by EverWash merchants (each a "Merchant"), or participating in any other activities available through the Service.

2. First Up, We Want You to Know This:

You control your personal information on the EverWash platform. We will never disclose your email address, transaction history, or other information to any Merchant or any other third party for their marketing purposes without you first authorizing that Merchant or third party to access such information. This allows you to use the EverWash Service and EverWash platform without receiving a whole lot of direct marketing you don't want.

3. Why Do We Have This Privacy Policy?

All companies that you do business with choose whether and how they want share your personal information. Federal law gives you the right to limit some, but not all, of that sharing. Federal law also requires companies to tell you how they collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.

4. What Information Do We Collect?

Personal Information: EverWash collects some of your identifying information in connection with the Service, depending on how you use the Service. When you create a EverWash User Account (whether through a EverWash App or EverWash website), pay with EverWash, engage in a Program, submit content to EverWash, complete a survey, send us feedback, request information about the Service, apply for a job, or sign up for special offers from third parties, EverWash may collect information from you, which could include the following (collectively, "Personal Information"):

Telephone number
Location
Merchant transaction data (including the amount, date, and location of the transaction, the amount of credit earned and redeemed, and the identity and amount of items purchased)
