This privacy statement (“Privacy Statement”) explains how Honey Science LLC (“PayPal Honey” or “we”) collects and processes information from members and users of the website, software applications, and other online services we provide (collectively “PayPal Honey's products”). PayPal Honey's products include, but are not limited to, the PayPal Honey extension for web browsers (the “Extension”), the PayPal Honey mobile application (the “Mobile App”), and the website located at www.joinhoney.com (the “Website”). Honey Science LLC is a subsidiary of PayPal, Inc.

To the extent that PayPal Honey has links to other websites (like retailers), please note that we do not own, operate, or control them, and they have their own controlling privacy policies that you should review.

In order to provide our services, PayPal Honey collects information that you share directly with us when you use our website, extension, or Mobile App. Though you don't have to, you can choose to provide your email to set up an account with us, which lets you add items to your Droplist, earn Rewards, see a personalized recommendation feed, and more. You can also set up your profile with your name and other info for a more personalized experience.

PayPal Honey also collects technical information about your device and use of PayPal Honey to make sure that our products are working correctly. The information we collect is geared to providing PayPal Honey members with a better way to shop online and to help us develop, improve, and market our services.

PayPal Honey does not track your search engine history, emails, or your browsing on any site that is not a retail website (a site where you can shop and make a purchase). When you are on a pre-approved retail site, to help you save money, PayPal Honey will collect information about that site that lets us know which coupons and promos to find for you. We may also collect information about pricing and availability of items, which we can share with the rest of the PayPal Honey community.

Shopping and Usage Data.

On retail sites, PayPal Honey collects the name of the retailer, page views, and in some cases, product information that allows us to track price changes and update our product catalog. We may also collect information regarding your purchases on a retail site while using PayPal Honey (for example, the transaction value, and the fact that an order was completed or returned) for purposes including internal analytics, commission collection, and managing Rewards. The information you share, and we collect, enables us to improve our products and gives us insights about coupons, deals, pricing, and availability of retail items, which we can share with the rest of the PayPal Honey community. We may also use this information to understand your shopping history, merchant and shopping preferences to provide you with a more tailored, relevant experience or show sponsored product offers that may interest you.

Aggregate and Anonymized Data

We may also use the information we collect in aggregate or otherwise anonymized form. This lets us look at interactions with our site and products generally and does not identify you or any specific person. We use this general data for research, development, marketing, analytics, and to enhance the shopping experience for the Honey community.

What data we do not collect

We collect information that we believe can help us save our users time and money. This does not include, and we do not collect, any information from your search engine history, emails, or from websites that are not retail sites.

We also do not collect bank or credit card information (unless you expressly provide those to us when you make a purchase through PayPal Honey).

We know how important your personal data is to you, so we will never sell it without your express permission first. We'll only share your personal data with your consent or in ways you'd expect (as we explain here). That means we will share your data if needed to complete your purchase, with businesses who help us operate PayPal Honey, or if we are legally required to do so.

We may share information with our service providers (businesses that work for and with us) for the purpose of running PayPal Honey and fulfilling our commitments to you. These include businesses that perform services on our behalf, including to help us maintain our products, to provide support for legal, banking, security protection, payment processing, our own marketing, and customer service. Please know that when we share information with our service providers, it's for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement and not for their independent use.

We may also share information in the following cases:

• with your express consent;
• with our parent company, PayPal, Inc. and affiliates and subsidiaries it controls, but only for purposes allowed by this Privacy Statement, including to manage Rewards;
• in an aggregate or anonymized format that does not identify any specific person;
• as required by law, or to comply or respond to a valid government request;
• when we believe in good faith that it's necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, or investigate fraud; and
• with a buyer or successor if PayPal Inc is involved in a merger, acquisition, or similar corporate transaction. If that happens, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Website of any change in ownership, as well as any choices you will have as a result.

The security of your information is important to us. We have a team dedicated to protecting your information and have put in place physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards.

These measures include limiting access, using encryption, testing for vulnerabilities, advanced malware detection, employing pseudonymization and anonymization techniques, and more.

Though we hate to say it, despite our efforts, we can't guarantee that user information will not be accessed, viewed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed as a result of a breach of any of our safeguards. You provide us with information at your own risk.

PayPal Honey only retains information about you as long as you keep using PayPal Honey, though we’ll keep information if we need it to meet our legal obligations and to defend against legal claims. Data shared with PayPal is subject to data retention periods as set out in the PayPal Privacy Statement.
