Corduro Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy is for Corduro Merchant Services, LLC., Corduro Processing, Inc. and/or its affiliates (“Corduro,” “we,” “our” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your privacy online. Our goal is to safeguard any personal information you provide to us. Personal information includes data that reasonably can be used to identify or describe an individual, such as name, address, phone number, and e-mail address.

In this Privacy Policy, “Service” means our website, software, and the services we provide. Please note, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect by means other than through your use of the Service (including offline) or from other sources.

When you use our Services you agree to accept this Privacy Policy. We may change this policy at any time.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, or register for one or more of our Services, we may collect the following information:

  • When you register, we collect your name, location, phone number, email address and other related information.
  • When you access our Services to establish your Corduro account we may collect bank account and payment card numbers, and information about financial institutions where you conduct business.
  • When you use our payment services: we record your account transactions, transaction location, and we may collect information about your computer or mobile or other access device.
  • We may record your location if location may be used to enhance the quality of services provided.
  • Additional information from or about you may also be collected in other ways, including responses to customer surveys or your communications with our vendors, customers, other Corduro community members or our customer service team.
  • When you participate in our SMS messaging program (“Corduro Rewards & Alerts”), we collect your mobile phone number, opt-in status, opt-out requests, message delivery information, HELP requests, and other interaction data associated with our messaging program. These data categories are required to operate the program and to maintain compliance with wireless carriers, CTIA, and Twilio requirements.

Use of Cookies

It is important for us to track how our website and Services are used, and we (or our service providers) may place “cookies” on your computer or mobile or other access device. Cookies are small data files that identify you when you use our Services. You have the option to decline our cookies by using your browsers settings tools, but this may interfere with your use of our website and Services.

Log File Information

When you register with or view our site or access our mobile services, our servers may automatically record certain information that your web browser or other access device sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.

Protecting Personal Information

Any information that can be used to identify a person is “Personal Information”. This does not include information that has been aggregated or made anonymous. All information is securely stored on our servers in the United States. Our safeguards and procedures have been implemented in accordance with US state and federal law and regulations to maintain the physical and electronic security of our software, services and your personal information. Our measures include firewalls, data encryption, physical and electronic access controls, and strict rules regarding the access and use of data on our system.

Using Personal Information

We use your Personal Information to provide you the features and functionality of our Services, and may share it with our trusted third parties or as otherwise directed or permitted by you, to ensure that you have a safe, high-performance experience when using the Service.

This includes the operation of our SMS message program, as participation in that program requires us to:

  1. store and process your mobile number and messaging interaction history;
  2. maintain records of your express consent to receive SMS messages;
  3. maintain an opt out list to ensure that numbers requesting to STOP are immediately excluded from future messaging; and
  4. respond to HELP and STOP keywords as required by CTIA standards.

We may also use Personal Information to measure how our members use the Service and improve and enhance our offerings to you.

For SMS messaging, we may use aggregated or anonymized interaction data to improve message delivery, track performance, and comply with carrier reporting requirements.

Corduro will provide information to organizations as you use our Service based on the Privacy Settings you set in your Member portal.

Corduro may use certain information about you without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as analyzing how the Service is used, diagnosing service or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing content. We use information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our Service; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors and traffic; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with certain IP addresses; and (f) help you efficiently access your information after you sign in.

Third Parties

Corduro will not sell customer information to third parties for marketing purposes.

For our SMS program (“Corduro Rewards & Alerts”), we do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS-related data with any third party except as needed to operate the messaging service.

Sharing Personal Information

Corduro will not rent or sell your Personal Information to others. We may share your Personal Information with third parties for the purpose of providing Services.

For SMS messaging, we only share SMS-related data with service providers who deliver messages or manage compliance on our behalf. These partners are contractually restricted to using the data solely to operate the SMS messaging program.

Organizational Access to your Personal Information

When you check-in, pay, give, favorite, join, or volunteer with an organization, you are authorizing Corduro to share your information with the organization associated with that action. Corduro provides you with the ability to restrict that information by organization, and enables you to set a default level for all organizations in our network, it is your responsibility to manage the visibility of your information. When you sign up, the default setting enables organizations to see your name and email. Any other information stored in our system will not be shared unless you specifically change the default or organizational settings in the portal or mobile application. In the event that your activity was payment related we will be required to share additional information such as address and contact phone number that is associated to the payment method in use, whether it originates from an electronic wallet or a one-time entry of the payment billing details. https://www.corduro.com/legal/privacy-policy When we are authorized by you to share, or are otherwise required to share your information with another organization (e.g. when making a payment), our privacy policy will continue apply to your information while it is in our possession, but once we have delivered your information to another organization, the privacy policy of that organization will apply to the information in their possession.

Special Events

We may run contests, special offers, or other events or activities (“Events”) on the Service together with third party partners. If you provide information to such third parties, you give them permission to use the information in connection with that Event and any other use that you approve. We cannot control third parties’ use of your information. If you do not want your information to be collected by or shared with a third party, you can choose not to participate in these Events.

Transfer of Personal Information

In the event that we sell our business or a business unit, we may transfer your Personal Information to the purchaser as part of our business assets. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution.

If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us as described below.
