Please read in conjunction with our other Policies.
We use Personal Information to provide quality messaging services to our clients. We may use your Personal Information in some or all of the following ways:
We use your Personal Information for the purpose of performing our contract with our client or where we have your consent to do so.
We collect information from our clients when they use our services. This includes information that is not associated with you as an individual, which may be used by us to improve our website, to monitor its performance, and to make it easier for you and other visitors to use. It also includes information which you knowingly provide to us and information which you provide to us in using our apps and our services. Our clients may also provide us with personal information relating to their customers or other contacts when they use our services to send message communications.

If you have signed any documents with us, we may also store your signature;
If you are a client that has chosen to pay for our services by credit card or direct debit, then we collect your credit card or bank account details when you provide these for payment purposes (and please note that we do not store your credit card information; we substitute your credit card information with a PCI compliant token to safeguard your details and provide you with maximum security);
Other details relating to the company or organisation that you are an employee of, or are administering the APIShift account on behalf of, if that information is reasonably necessary for our activities in providing our service to you and/or your clients.
If one of our clients has sent you a message communication using our services, or you have responded to a message communication from one of our clients, then our client will have provided us with your contact details, which may include your name, postal address, telephone, mobile and fax numbers and email addresses.
We may also store Personal Information that our clients have collected from other contacts and uploaded to our online portal.
