Professional or employment-related information, such as information you provide about your business (e.g., appointments, staffing availability, and contact data) and your employees (e.g., job titles, payroll information, and hours worked and other timecard data);
Inferences drawn from any of the information above to create a profile about you that may reflect, for example, your preferences, characteristics, and behavior, including for account security purposes or to enhance our Services to you;

The Customer Data we collect will vary depending on how you use our products and services and which products and services you use. Your Customers' Data/Consumer Data may include:
Device Information. Information about Your Customer's device, including hardware model, operating system and version, device name, unique device identifier, mobile network information, and information about the device's interaction with our Services;
Financial Information. Bank account and payment card numbers;
Identification Information. Your Customer’s name; email address; mailing address; phone number; government-issued identification; or other historical, contact, and demographic information, and signature;
Location Information. The location of Your Customer's device depending on how they pay;
Transaction Information. When Your Customers use Strike Zone Academy to make or record payments to you, we collect information about when and where the transactions occur, the names of the transacting parties, a description of the transactions which may include item-level data, the payment or transfer amounts, billing and shipping information, and the devices and payment methods used to complete the transactions;

A service provider processes personal information on behalf of a business in order to provide services. When Strike Zone Academy processes Your Customer’s Data, we generally act as your service provider. In select cases, however, we may act as a business when we process Your Customer’s Data. For example, we act as a business when we use Your Customer’s Data to send Your Customer’s digital receipts directly from Strike Zone Academy, or when we allow you to use Customer Directory or Strike Zone Academy Marketing to contact your buyer using a masked email address that gets routed to them via Strike Zone Academy.
