In the event that c-exchange integrates with other platforms, you may be prompted from time to time to grant c-Exchange access to additional information from such platform (or grant such partner platform access to the information you have provided to c-Exchange). For example, if c-Exchange implements integration with a social media platform, you would have the option of linking your account on that platform to c-Exchange in order to streamline the signup process, populate your contact list or other specified purposes.
  4. When you access or use the c-Exchange site or Services, we may collect some information, including:
  5. Device Information: We collect information about your device, including the type of device (Computer vs. iPhone vs. Android), operating system, mobile phone number, browser type and language, and device identifiers (such as IMEI and MAC address).
  6. Location Information: With your permission, we collect your device location so that we can offer you location-based features such as the ability to send funds to nearby c-Exchange users.

  10. Transactions: We collect information about your payment activity such as the amount, date, time, recipient for each transaction.

We use both session and persistent cookies when you access our website or content. Session cookies expire and no longer have any effect when you log out of your account or close your browser. Longer lasting cookies, known as persistent cookies, remain on your browser until you erase them or they expire.
