Privacy Policy

 

Better ATM Services, Inc. (Better ATM Services) is incorporated in the state of Delaware (DE). 

Effective Date 

This privacy policy is effective as of November 15, 2018. 

Introduction 

Encore Incentives is a DBA (Doing Business As) of Better ATM Services and a certified loyalty program agency retained by your retailer to help enhance your customer experience; personalize incentives, offers and services to your preferences; and provide limited data collection only as needed to assist your retailer in providing these benefits and services to you. We respect and protect your information (see privacy policy information below) and welcome your feedback at privacy@encoreincentives.com. 

Participating retailers, that install or use Customer Loyalty Accelerator (“the App”), accomplish this objective by compensating you with an immediate cash reward in exchange for your contact information and the ability to collect certain information that allows them to personalize your shopping experience (“the Service”). We collect information including but not necessarily limited to your name, address, phone number, email address, and purchasing activity. Your retailer will use this data to provide you with a more personalized and satisfying shopping experience each time you visit. 

Your trust is very important to both your retailer and to Encore Incentives. That’s why we are committed to helping you clearly understand why and how we collect, use and store your information. By enrolling in a loyalty program managed by Encore Incentives or by visiting Encore Incentives’ website, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy. 

Encore Incentives may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our privacy practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will give you notice of such changes by posting the revised policy on this website, and where appropriate, by other means. By continuing to use this website or a loyalty program managed by Encore Incentives, you agree to the revised policy.
