Who we are
BK Merchant Services (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates bkmerchantservices.com. This policy explains what information we collect through this site, how we use it, and the choices available to visitors and applicants.
Information we collect
When a business owner submits an inquiry or application through this site, we collect the information provided in that form, which may include a name, business name, email address, phone number, and details about the business and its current payment processing needs. We also collect standard technical data (such as IP address and browser type) automatically when the site is visited, for security and analytics purposes.
How we use information
We use submitted information to evaluate and vet applicants, to communicate about an inquiry or application, and, when a business is approved, to match and introduce that business to one of our vetted payment processing partners so the partner can set up and manage processing services directly with that business. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Sharing with our processing partners
If an application moves forward, the business information submitted is shared with the vetted payment processing partner handling that account, so the partner can complete onboarding and provide processing services. Our partners maintain their own privacy and data security practices for the accounts they service.
Cookies
This site uses cookies to support core functionality and, where consented to, to understand site traffic. A cookie preference banner lets visitors accept or decline non-essential cookies on their first visit, and preferences can be updated at any time through that tool.
Data retention and security
We retain application and inquiry information for as long as needed to evaluate the request and, for approved businesses, to support the ongoing referral relationship. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information submitted through this site.
Your choices
To ask what information we hold about a business or individual, to request a correction, or to request deletion of information that has not already been shared with a processing partner as part of an approved referral, use the contact form on this site.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
