Rye provides online marketing services and applications, including the Rye application and Rye APIs (the “Services”). Our Services enable developers (“Developers”) to work together with brands, retailers and other merchants (“Merchants”) to build an end to end e-commerce experience.
Information We Collect
The Personal Data that we may collect broadly falls into the following categories:

We may collect Personal Data when you sign up for the Services, integrate the Services with another website or service (for example, when you choose to connect your e-commerce account with Rye), send us an email or communicate with us in any other way. Categories of information include:

Do Not Track
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.
Cookie Policy
To make our Sites and Services work properly, and to provide tailored advertising, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, shopping cart, or other preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. To learn more, please see our Cookie Policy.
Change of Control
Personal Data may be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization or other change in control. If we sell, merge or transfer any part of the business, part of the sale may include your Personal Data.
Data Retention
Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, we’ll refer to these criteria in order to determine the appropriate retention period:
Whether we have a legal or contractual need to retain the data.
Whether the data is necessary to provide our Services.
Whether our Developers have the ability to access and delete the data within their accounts.
Whether our Developers would reasonably expect that we would retain the data until they remove it or until their accounts are closed or terminated.
When we have no ongoing lawful basis to process your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Security Protections
We take appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Data. accounts require a username and password, or social media authentication, to log in. Account holders must keep their username and password secure, and never disclose it to a third party in accordance with our Terms.
Policy Changes
We may change this privacy policy at any time and from time to time. The most recent version of the privacy policy is reflected by the date located at the top of this privacy policy. All updates and amendments are effective immediately upon notice, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, by posting a revised version of this privacy policy or other notice on the Sites. We encourage you to review this privacy policy often to stay informed of changes that may affect you. Our electronically or otherwise properly stored copies of this privacy policy are each deemed to be the true, complete, valid, authentic, and enforceable copy of the version of this privacy policy that was in effect on each respective date you visited the Sites.

Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 11, 2024
Rye Worldwide, Inc., also known as Rye (“Rye” or “we”), is committed to protecting your privacy. We have prepared this Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) to describe our practices regarding the Personal Data we collect from users of our Sites.
“Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data.
“Sites” means our websites, applications, widgets, blogs, social networks, or other online, mobile, or wireless offerings and the services offered on those Sites.
Rye provides online marketing services and applications, including the Rye application and Rye APIs (the “Services”). Our Services enable developers (“Developers”) to work together with brands, retailers and other merchants (“Merchants”) to build an end to end e-commerce experience.
Information We Collect
The Personal Data that we may collect broadly falls into the following categories:
Information You Give Us:
We may collect Personal Data when you sign up for the Services, integrate the Services with another website or service (for example, when you choose to connect your e-commerce account with Rye), send us an email or communicate with us in any other way. Categories of information include:
Identifiers such as real name, address, email address, phone number, employer, job title, username, and password for account registration and administration.
Commercial information such as your billing address, shipping address, transactions and purchases of the Services. We do not store or process payment information, such as your credit or debit card number or your bank account number.
Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as interactions with our Rye App, interactions with our APIs, and communications sent through our Services.

Information We Receive from Developers:
Developers may provide us Personal Data through the Services. For example, when a Developer integrates the Services with another website or service (for example, when a Developer chooses to connect their e-commerce account with Rye). This information includes:
Identifiers such as real name, address, email address, job title, company, or phone number.
Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as your public profile on social media accounts. Depending on your privacy settings for your social media account, this includes your profile picture, social media handle, number of followers, bio, if you’re verified and your location by city and country.
Commercial information, such as products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies through the Developer’s Shopify account. This also includes your product requests.
Developers are responsible for their privacy and security practices. You may have the opportunity to update some of your information by electing to update or manage your preferences directly with the Developer.
