Privacy Policy

This “Privacy Policy” explains how Slice Marketing, LLC dba Startslice.com (“Company,” “Slice Marketing,” or “we”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal data on behalf of our customers — typically, merchants (a “Merchant” or collectively, “Merchants”) — in connection with our application, Slice Pizza Builder (the “App”), which runs on the Clover Point of Sale system (“Clover POS”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to Company’s privacy practices in any other context.

Company’s processing of personal data in connection with the App is governed by this Privacy Policy and our agreements with Merchants. In the event of any conflict between this Privacy Policy and a customer agreement, the customer agreement will control to the extent permitted by applicable law.

This Privacy Policy is not a substitute for any privacy policy that a Merchant may be required to provide to their customers, personnel, or other individuals.

How the App works

The App is a self-contained tool that runs locally on the Merchant’s Clover device. It lets Merchant staff build and customize pizza orders — selecting sizes and crusts, adding and configuring toppings and modifiers, creating half-and-half and specialty configurations, and adding the configured items to a Clover order. The App stores its configuration and settings locally on the device and interacts with the Clover POS through Clover’s on-device connectors.

Information the App processes

We process information only on behalf of, and for the sole benefit of, the Merchant that has installed the App, and only to provide the App’s functionality:

• Order and item configuration data — the pizza, topping, modifier, pricing, and order-line details created while staff use the App. This is written to the Merchant’s Clover order on the device.
• App settings — local configuration the App stores on the device (for example, menu setup and scheduling preferences).

To the extent an order contains customer details (such as a name or scheduled pickup time entered by staff), that information is handled within the Merchant’s Clover order and is not separately collected, stored off-device, or used by Company.

The App does not collect device location, biometric data, browsing/online identifiers, marketing preferences, loyalty data, or Merchant-personnel data.

How we use the information

We use the information described above solely to provide the App’s functionality to the Merchant. We may also use information as we believe necessary or appropriate to (a) comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process; (b) enforce the terms that govern the App; (c) protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of others; and (d) protect against, investigate, and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, or illegal activity.

How we share information

Because the App operates locally for the Merchant, we do not sell personal data and do not share it for our own commercial purposes. Information may be shared:

• With the Merchant on whose behalf it was processed.
• With the platform on which the App runs, the Clover POS. You may view Clover’s Privacy Notice at clover.com/privacy-policy.
• With third parties as the Merchant directs.
• With service providers that help us operate, maintain, or support the App, if and to the extent such service providers are engaged in the future.
• As required by law or to protect against fraud or harm, as described above.

Company may transfer some or all of its business or assets, including data processed through the App, in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, in which case we will make reasonable efforts to require the recipient to honor this Privacy Policy.

Children’s privacy

The App is a business tool intended for use by Merchant staff on the Clover POS. It is not directed to children and is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe that a child under 16 has provided personal information through the App, please contact us at the details in “Contact us” below and we will take appropriate steps to delete such information.

Your rights and choices

Data subject rights. Where applicable law gives individuals rights over their personal information, individuals should contact the Merchant with any request pertaining to the Merchant’s use of the App. To the extent Clover is responsible for responding to data subject requests under applicable law, individuals may contact Clover as explained in Clover’s Privacy Notice at clover.com/privacy-policy. We will assist a Merchant, or Clover, in responding to such requests subject to our agreement with the Merchant or Clover.

Complaints. If you have a complaint about our handling of personal data, you may contact us using the details below.

Updates. We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by updating the date above and, where required by applicable law, by providing additional notice (such as posting a notice in the App or notifying Merchants directly). Your continued use of the App following such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

Your U.S. state privacy rights

Depending on where you reside, you may have the rights below under the CCPA or other applicable U.S. state privacy laws. Because Company acts as a service provider or processor to Merchants, these rights are generally exercisable against the Merchant (the “business” or “controller” under applicable law). To the extent these rights apply to Company directly, they are not absolute, and we may decline a request as permitted by applicable law.

• Information — you can request the categories of personal information we collected, the sources, the business/commercial purpose, the categories of third parties with whom we share it, and whether we have disclosed, sold, or shared it.
• Access — you can request a copy of the personal information we maintain about you.
• Correction and Deletion — you can ask us to correct inaccurate personal information or delete the personal information we maintain about you.
• Nondiscrimination — you may exercise these rights free from discrimination.

How to exercise your rights. You may submit a request by contacting us at the details in “Contact us” above. We will verify your identity before responding, and may require enough detail to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected information. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with written authorization. If we decline your request, you may appeal the decision by contacting us at the same details.

Sale and sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share, as those terms are defined under the CCPA or analogous state privacy laws, your personal information to or with third parties. In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have not sold or shared any personal information.

Personal information we collect, use, and share. The chart below summarizes our practices in the last 12 months. We do not collect or process sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA or analogous state privacy laws.

Additional information for Merchants located in Europe and the United Kingdom

Controller. Company is a data processor acting for and on behalf of the Merchant that has installed the App. That Merchant is the controller of the personal data we process on its behalf. Clover is also a controller in some circumstances; Clover’s Privacy Notice is at clover.com/privacy-policy.

Legal basis for processing. Company processes personal data as directed or permitted by the Merchant. The Merchant is responsible for establishing a legal basis for our processing on its behalf.

Cross-border data transfer. The App processes data locally on the Merchant’s device and does not transfer personal data internationally to Company. If any transfer outside Europe/the UK occurs, we will rely on an approved transfer mechanism such as Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, an adequacy decision, or another lawful basis recognized under applicable data protection law.

Data retention. Because the App operates locally for the Merchant, data created through the App is retained within the Merchant’s Clover environment under the Merchant’s and Clover’s retention practices. Contact us for more information about our practices in connection with the App.

Data subject rights. Data subjects in Europe and the UK have rights including access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and may withdraw consent or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for the EEA, see edpb.europa.eu; for the UK, see ico.org.uk). Requests should be directed to the appropriate Controller — typically the Merchant.
