This privacy policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices.

What we collect: basic site analytics; merchant account info; transaction metadata necessary to generate payment requests; optional customer phone numbers for loyalty; on‑chain wallet addresses and transaction IDs.

Why: operate the service, prevent fraud, support refunds, and send opted‑in loyalty rewards.

Sharing: we use providers to run the service (e.g., hosting, analytics, SMS). For loyalty SMS we use Twilio. For phone‑based wallets we use Privy. We don’t sell personal data.

Security: we use industry-standard security and don’t store card data. On-chain addresses and transactions are public by design.

Your choices: you can request deletion of your account data at any time; customers can opt out of SMS. Contact: josh@charongateway.com
