Privacy Policy

‍A. Scope

This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains how we, BlinkPayroll (“we,” “us,” or “our”), collect, use, share, or otherwise process information that we collect through our services. These services include, as applicable, our website, mobile application, social media pages, marketing activities, and other activities described in this Privacy Policy, or when other businesses provide us your personal information (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy applies to all BlinkPayroll Services. We may provide additional or supplemental privacy statements for certain products or services.

Effective 10/21/2024, PayStubs.com is now doing business as BlinkPayroll.com. All references to PayStubs.com ("PayStubs") in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as referring to BlinkPayroll.com.

This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices when we process:

Personal and financial information for the purposes of processing a payroll or in connection with the preparation of tax forms (collectively, “Payroll Information”);
Personal information for the purposes of providing the benefits of our websites and the BlinkPayroll platform, which includes all of BlinkPayroll’s services, sites, experiences and software (including through our mobile applications and desktop applications) other than Payroll Information (the “BlinkPayroll Platform”); and
Personal information as necessary to manage, run, improve, and develop our business and personalize your experience while interacting with the BlinkPayroll Platform. Depending on your settings, this may include showing you personalized ads or recommending certain BlinkPayroll products based on your interests.

BlinkPayroll determines the purposes and means of the processing of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy, and therefore acts as a ‘data controller’ (or equivalent/similar terms under applicable data privacy laws) of such information.

In certain circumstances, there may be more than one data controller processing your personal information. For example, your employer or a financial partner may also act as a data controller. In these situations, we act as an independent data controller over our processing activities. This means we determine how your personal information will be processed independently from the other data controllers. The other data controllers have their own obligations under applicable data privacy laws. BlinkPayroll is not responsible for other data controllers’ processing activities, and you should contact them directly for questions about how they process your personal information and about how to exercise your privacy rights in relation to such processing.

This Privacy Policy does not apply where BlinkPayroll processes personal information as a processor or service provider on behalf of our customers, including when we process personal information on behalf of customers of our professional payroll services. When we act as a processor or service provider, the privacy statement of our customer who uses our Services applies instead of this Privacy Policy, and our processing of such personal information is governed by our agreements with such customers. If you have concerns about personal information that we process on behalf of a customer, or wish to exercise your privacy rights regarding such personal information, please contact the customer directly.

B. The BlinkPayroll Platform

The BlinkPayroll Platform and your personal information

When we say “platform,” we mean that when you choose to share data with us, or bring over information from third parties (like a bank), BlinkPayroll uses that data together, not just within the individual offering(s) you’re using. The personal information we use in this centralized way may relate to you as an end user of our Services or as an employee or contractor of a BlinkPayroll customer whose personal information has been included in the BlinkPayroll Platform.

Business account information

Some experiences and services within the BlinkPayroll Platform allow you to interact with a business (such as your employer). If you are granted access to a business account, the business owner or a designated administrator may control and administer details of your account, for example, by deciding your access rights; making decisions about your personal information (such as details about your payroll); or requiring you to take certain actions. If the owner or designated administrator changes your access rights, then you may lose access to the information the business controls.

Your use of the BlinkPayroll Platform as part of a business account may be subject to the business’s policies, which may differ from this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other businesses, and you should consider both the business’s policies and whether you are comfortable giving the business access to your personal information before connecting to their services.

Personal information we collect

The personal information that we collect or otherwise receive about you depends on the context of your interactions with BlinkPayroll, how you configure your account, and the choices you make, including your privacy settings. The way we process your personal information may also depend on the particular Services, functionalities, or experiences you use, your location, and applicable law.

Information you provide to us

You may provide us with your personal information as follows:

Contact data and account profile data. We collect information when you (or your organization) create an account, activate a subscription, and/or upload information to the BlinkPayroll Platform. Personal information may include your name, previous name(s) and/or nicknames, title and honorifics, professional title and company name, billing and mailing addresses, phone number and email address, profile photo, billing information (your payment information), purchase history, demographic information, preferences, subscription data, and your username and account credentials.
Identity verification information. We collect information to verify your identity, including your name, date of birth, social security number, social insurance number, employer identification number (EIN) driver’s license number, passport number, government-issued identification details, and similar information to verify your identity and to help you process your payroll or receive other Services from BlinkPayroll.
Communications, feedback and survey data, and related data. We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number and any other personal information you choose to share when you reach out to us for support, give us feedback, participate in optional surveys, participate in product research or training, or otherwise interact or communicate with us. This information may include: call center recordings and call monitoring records, chat and text records, voicemails, photographs, and video images.
Marketing data. You may provide us with your contact information and preferences for receiving our marketing communications.
Social and community content. We receive content you post on our social media pages.
Business and financial information. We may receive information about your business, your finances, expenses, invoices, financial statements, details of your financial transactions, payroll details, payment details, tax return details, details about your employees and contractors, and income and wage information.
Device and contact data. If you grant permission in your device settings, certain features may have access to your device and contacts.

Third-party sources

You may be able to input or process personal information about others, for example, if you are an account administrator of one of our Services. If you input information about others into the Platform, you must only do so if you have first provided sufficient notice and received any required permissions, and have an appropriate legal basis if required by applicable law.

We may also receive personal information about you from other third parties where you have provided consent or where permitted by applicable law. We protect and process the personal information obtained from those third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, consistent with any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the information. Our third-party sources may vary over time and depend upon how you use the BlinkPayroll Platform. For example, we receive information from:

Linked third-party services. If you choose to sync a non-BlinkPayroll account/service with your BlinkPayroll account, we will receive information from that account/service according to your settings with that account/service. This may include details of your bank account information, social media information, purchase history or your business’s sales records through a point of sale application.
Customer support providers. We receive personal information about you or your interaction with the BlinkPayroll Platform from certain third parties for troubleshooting purposes. For example, we may obtain information about your interaction(s) with customer support and information about technical issues you have raised, including call center recordings, call monitoring records, voicemails, photographs and chat records.
Joint offering partners. We may offer co-branded services or experiences or engage in joint-marketing activities with others.
Government agencies. We may receive information from government agencies, including from various tax agencies.

Automatic data collection

We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically log personal information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with the Services, such as:

Device information. We may collect information about your device(s) such as IP addresses, log information, error messages, device type, and unique device identifiers. For example, we may collect IP addresses from you as part of our sign in and security features.
Usage information. We may collect information about your use of the BlinkPayroll Platform, such as the pages you viewed, the services and features you used or interacted with, your browser type, and details about any links or communications with which you interacted.
Information stored locally. Some of our web-enabled desktop services and offerings synchronize with the information on your computer. In doing so, we may collect information such as device information, product usage, and error reports. We may also store personal information locally on your device.
Communication interaction data. We or our third-party service providers may collect information from email providers, communication providers and social networks, such as your interactions with our email, text or other communications (e.g., whether you open and/or forward emails) – we may do this through use of pixel tags (which are also known as clear GIFs), which may be embedded invisibly in our emails.
Online behavioral data. We may automatically collect certain personal information about your use and interactions with our website, mobile application, social media websites, and marketing campaigns that we or our customers organize, including device information (such as your IP address and unique device IDs), page view information and search results, links, and if you are a customer contact, whether or not a campaign presented or sent to you using our offerings has been viewed, delivered, opened, clicked on, whether it has bounced or was treated as spam.

Cookies and similar technologies

BlinkPayroll and our service providers may use commonly used tools such as cookies, web beacons, pixels, local shared objects and similar technologies (collectively “cookies”) to collect information about you (“Cookie Information”) so we can provide the experiences you request, recognize your visit, track your interactions, and improve your and other customers’ experiences.

We may make inferences about you based on other personal information we have collected or otherwise received about you.

D. How We Share Your Personal Information

When you interact with our services.

We may share your personal information in the following circumstances:

When you connect with a BlinkPayroll Platform partner. You may be provided with offers, products, and services from third-party companies who integrate with our BlinkPayroll Platform (“Platform Partner”). If you choose to interact with a Platform Partner, apply for their services or offerings, or otherwise link or sync your account to a Platform Partner’s product or service, you consent and direct us to share your personal information to the Platform Partner providing the service or offering. For example, when we send your personal information to partners in order to generate offers for you to review, when we send your application information directly to our partners, or when we send you to the partner’s site for you to provide the information directly to them.

In some cases, if you click through to go to a Platform Partner’s site, you will automatically be sending your personal information to that Platform Partner. When this happens, you will still have to submit your application on the Platform Partner’s site. Remember that any information you provide to a Platform Partner, whether through us or on your own, will be subject to their privacy practices and terms and conditions.

When you connect to your social media account. Some of our features enable you to connect to a social media account or share information on social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter. Any information you choose to share on social media may potentially be visible to a global audience and will be subject to the social media provider’s privacy policies (not this Privacy Policy). You should take care only to share information on social media that you are comfortable sharing.
For joint features, sales, promotions and events. With your consent we may share your personal information with third parties who are jointly providing features, sales initiatives, promotions or events with us.
When you publicly post the information. We may provide opportunities for you to publicly post reviews, questions, comments, suggestions, or other content that may include personal information, such as your name or username. Anything you share in a public forum is public, and you should think carefully before you decide to share.
With your wireless carrier. When you use your wireless device in connection with the BlinkPayroll Platform, you authorize your wireless carrier to use or disclose information about your account and your wireless device, if available, to BlinkPayroll or its service provider for the duration of your business relationship, solely to help them identify you or your wireless device and to prevent fraud.
When you participate in the short code program. Personal information collected through the short code program (i.e., when you sign up for SMS texts), will not be shared, sold, or rented to affiliated or unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Other circumstances

We also share your personal information with third parties in the following circumstances.

For research. With appropriate controls, we may share information with third parties, such as academic institutions, government and non-profit organizations, for research purposes or to publish academic or policy-related materials. We only share information in a way that does not identify any individual.

With service providers or agents. We share personal information with our service providers or agents who provide services on our behalf for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Service providers or agents are required to implement reasonable privacy and information protection controls to maintain the privacy and security of information provided to them consistent with the privacy practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. Service providers or agents may include companies that assist us with our advertising, marketing, and sales efforts, help us with our technology offerings (such as a hosting, security or anti-fraud providers) and help us run our business.
For mergers and acquisitions. If we are involved with a merger, asset sale, financing, liquidation, bankruptcy, or the acquisition of all or part of our business to another company, we may share your personal information with that company and its advisors before and after the transaction date.
For advertising and analytics. BlinkPayroll may use advertising networks and other providers to display advertising on our BlinkPayroll Platform or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our advertising partners may place cookies on unaffiliated websites in order to serve advertisements that may be relevant to you based on your browsing activities and interests and determine the effectiveness of such advertisements.

BlinkPayroll responds to the Global Privacy Control signal for US residents, as described further in the United States section below. However, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals because there is no formal “Do Not Track” standard.

For legal reasons

We may share your personal information with third parties for legal reasons without your consent, and as permitted by law, including:

When we reasonably believe disclosure is required in order to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other applicable law, regulation or legal process;
To protect the rights, property, or safety of BlinkPayroll, the BlinkPayroll Platform, our customers or others;
To protect or defend against attacks;
To enforce, remedy, or apply our Terms of Service or other agreements;
To prevent fraud, cybersecurity attacks or illegal activity;
For debt collection; and
With regulatory agencies, including government tax agencies, as necessary to help detect and combat fraud and/or protect our customers, users and/or the BlinkPayroll Platform, or in required institutional risk control programs.

E. Your Personal Information Rights and Choices

Your choices

We believe that you have choices about information that pertains to you or your business. We provide all customers with options to manage the privacy of their personal information. You may update your privacy settings by visiting your account settings. You can edit and correct certain personal information at any time by changing it directly in our products and services.

Delete your personal information.

You may ask us to delete your personal information by visiting your account settings or emailing us at privacy@BlinkPayroll.com

Cookies and other tracking technologies.

You may opt-out of interest based advertising by emailing us at privacy@blinkpayroll.com. If you reside in California, Connecticut, Colorado or Virginia, please refer to the relevant sections below under Region and state-specific terms for more information about opting out of tracking for targeted advertising purposes or opting-out of sales and/or sharing.

Manage marketing communications from us.

To update your marketing communication preferences, you can go to the marketing preference tools in your account settings or you may use the links below. You may also click unsubscribe at the bottom of the marketing emails. If you receive marketing text messages from us through BlinkPayroll's SMS shortcode program, you may opt out of receiving further marketing text messages from us by replying STOP to the message. We do not sell or share any personal information collected with third parties for their own marketing or advertising efforts.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may also have certain state- or country-specific rights with respect to your personal information. Please see the Region and state-specific terms section for your country, below.

Verification

To help protect privacy and the security of your personal information, you may be asked to provide additional information to verify your identity and/or ownership rights before we can fulfill your data rights request. If we cannot verify your identity or your ownership rights to the data, we may not be able to service your request until you provide proper documentation.

Data retention

Unless you specifically ask us to delete your personal information, we retain your personal information as long as it is necessary to comply with our data retention requirements and provide you with services and the benefits of the BlinkPayroll Platform and successfully run our business. Even if you submit a deletion request, we may be required to maintain your personal information for as long as necessary to:

comply with our legal or regulatory compliance needs (e.g., maintaining records of transactions you have made with us);
to exercise, establish or defend legal claims; and/or
to protect against fraudulent or abusive activity on our service.

This means we may keep different information for different periods. If your account is canceled because you haven’t used it for a long time, we may delete this information immediately.

There may be occasions where we are unable to fully delete, anonymize, or de-identify your personal information due to technical, legal, regulatory compliance, or other operational reasons. Where this is the case, we will take reasonable measures to securely isolate your personal information from any further processing until such time as we are able to delete, anonymize, or de-identify it.

International data transfers

Unless you have provided us with consent to transfer your personal information, Payroll Information shall be processed and stored in the United States in accordance with applicable law.

With the exception noted above, BlinkPayroll reserves the right to store and process your personal information in the United States and in any other country as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. Some of these countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).

When we transfer, store or process personal information outside of your jurisdiction, we take appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Some of these recipients of your personal information are located in countries for which the European Commission and/or UK Government (as and where applicable) have issued adequacy decisions, which means that these countries are recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection under applicable UK and/or European data protection laws and the transfer is therefore permitted under Article 45 of the GDPR.

Other recipients of your personal information are located in countries outside the EEA and/or the UK that are not the subject of an adequacy decision (for example, the United States). In these cases, we may use the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or, as may be applicable, the International Data Transfer Agreement approved by the UK Government, to help ensure your personal information is protected. For more information on the transfer safeguards we rely on, please contact us.

Security of your personal information

We use reasonable physical, technical and organizational safeguards that are designed to protect your personal information. However, despite these controls, we cannot completely ensure or warrant the security of your personal information.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

From time to time we may change or update our Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to make changes or updates at any time. If we make material changes to the way we process your personal information, we will notify you by posting a notice in the BlinkPayroll Platform; by sending you a notification; or by other means consistent with applicable law.

US Payroll Information

Except as necessary to provide you with tax preparation services or as authorized by law, we will not use or disclose your Payroll Information unless you consent.

Children

Our services are not intended for or directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we may have information from a child, please contact us.
