Your use of the Services is subject to this Policy and our Terms of Use.
California Residents: Please click here for additional disclosures.
We collect information about you directly from you, from other data sources, and automatically through your use of the Services.
The information we collect from you depends on how you use our Services. To create an account, you must provide your name, email address, and link at least one of your financial accounts to your Paceline account. We may also ask you for your age, gender, workout and wellness activity and spending habits. Although you may choose not to provide such information to us, some features and functions of our Services may not work without this information. For example, if you do not link your financial account to the Services, you may not be able to claim certain rewards or pay your credit card balance in the Mobile Application. You may also upload a profile photo to your account.
If you sign up for early access to Paceline or our credit card on our Site, we will collect your name, email address, and information about the types of wearable fitness devices and credit cards you use.
With your consent, we will collect your physical activity information from your wearable device provider. This information includes all data output generated by such device, such as, your energy output, activity levels and time periods, meditation time, cycling distance, exercise minutes, heart rate, step counts, swimming distance, swimming strokes, walking and running distances, and workout period. We will also collect the following information if you have provided it to your wearable device provider: date of birth, height, sex, and weight. We will continue to collect information from your wearable device provider until you remove the wearable device from your Paceline account or delete your account. Depending on your specific wearable device, you may be able to adjust or opt-out of sharing all or some of your activity information. Please see your device settings for details.
With your consent and in order to enable you to pay your credit card balance through the Mobile Application, we may collect information about your financial account from accounts that you link to your Paceline account through our open banking partner. To do so, you will need to enter your online credentials for your financial accounts with our open banking partner, and by doing so, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of our open banking partner’s privacy policy which will be presented to you when you enter your credentials. Further, you expressly grant our open banking partner the right, power, and authority to access and transmit your information as reasonably necessary to provide the financial account linking services to you. Please note that we never receive your financial account credentials from our open banking partner. Our open banking partner is an independent third party, and Paceline has no control over its use of your information. If you do not agree to our open banking partner’s use of your information, do not link your financial accounts to the Services through its platform.
If you apply and are approved to be a Paceline cardholder, we may receive information about you from our credit card processing and issuing partner or other rewards partners in connection with the administration of the credit card and credit card rewards program. Information we may receive from those entities may include your name, the transactions you make, and whether your account is in good standing so that we are able to apply the appropriate credit card rewards to your Paceline account. We will not have access to your full credit card number, account login credentials, or lists of the specific item(s) that you purchase from a store or merchant.
If you apply for insurance products using our Services, we may collect the information you choose to submit as part of the application process, such as full name, date of birth, address, email, gender, medical information, and any other information needed by our insurance partners to assess your application. Alternatively, we may direct you to our insurance partners’ sites to complete the application and will collect information about your application status. We may send you emails, notifications, or other communications to provide you information about these opportunities. When we disclose this information to our insurance partners, we do so to enable them to process your application, and the insurance partner is the party responsible for handling your information.
Occasionally, we may conduct research in conjunction with our insurance partners. If you choose to participate in such research, including when you apply for insurance, we may share personal information from your account with these partners.
We and our service providers may collect location information through the Services. The type of location information we collect depends on your settings in the device you use to access the Services. If you access the Services on your mobile device or wearable device, we may directly collect precise geographic location information and sensor data via Global Positioning System (GPS), cellular network information, and other location-based features. You can turn off direct location collection (or, on some operating systems, continuous direct location collection) through your device settings or by deleting the mobile application from your device. Please note that even if you disable location collection through your device, we still may collect your IP address, which may contain certain limited location information.
We automatically collect information about your use of our Services through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies, including technologies designed for mobile apps. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we combine this information with other information we collect about you, including your personal information. Please see the section “Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms” below for more information. The information that we automatically collect may include:

For example, we share aggregate and de-identified information about users with our rewards, financial services, and insurance partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to third parties (or allow third parties to collect that information from you), who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our services.

Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Services.

We use Cached Information to enhance your experience on our Mobile Application. If you delete the Mobile Application from your device, Cached Information stored on the device will be deleted.

We have implemented security measures designed to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our efforts, no data security measures can guarantee security.
You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private.
