This Privacy Policy applies only to personal data processed through the use of the Pivot application on Clover POS and does not apply to any other products, services, or business activities of Pivot Studio Inc.


Our processing of personal data is governed by this Privacy Policy and our agreements with Merchants. In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and a Merchant agreement, the Merchant agreement will control to the extent permitted by applicable law.


This Privacy Policy does not replace any privacy notice that a Merchant may be required to provide to its customers, employees, contractors, or other individuals.
