Privacy Statement
Last updated July 1, 2025
OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
SQRIL knows that you care about how your personal information is used and disclosed, and we take your privacy seriously. Our primary goal is to provide you with exceptional service, and we understand that you may have questions or concerns regarding your personal information and how it will be used. To make this Privacy Statement easy to find, we make it available from the home page of the SQRIL website at sqril.io (the "website") and through our mobile applications. You may also email us at privacy@sqril.io with any privacy-related questions you have.
APPLICABILITY OF PRIVACY STATEMENT
This Privacy Statement applies to all information we collect through our Services from current and former SQRIL users. SQRIL is the data controller of this information. "Services" means any products, services, rewards programs, content, features, technologies, or functions, and all related websites, applications and services in connection with a SQRIL account. When you are no longer our customer, we continue to disclose your information as described in this Statement. This Statement only applies to the Services and does not apply to the practices of any other SQRIL service.
SQRIL is always improving. As the Services evolve we may occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect changes to our business, Services, or applicable laws. If the revised version requires notice in accordance with applicable law, we will provide you with 30 days prior notice by posting notice of the change on the "Privacy Statement" page of our website and mobile apps, otherwise the revised Privacy Statement will be effective as of the published effective date. If you are a new customer or are receiving this Privacy Statement for the first time and there is an upcoming change described on the "Privacy Statement" page of our website and mobile app at the time you receive this Privacy Statement, such upcoming change will apply to you on the indicated effective date.
Throughout this Privacy Statement, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been aggregated and/or anonymized so that it does not identify a specific person.
This Privacy Statement also applies to all information we collect from non-SQRIL users who receive a payment from SQRIL users.

SQRIL does not disclose your personal information with third parties for their promotional or marketing purposes.
Some personal information is public information and may be seen by anyone on the internet, whether or not they have a SQRIL account. Public information may also be seen, accessed, reshared or downloaded through SQRIL's APIs or third-party services that integrate with our products.
- •Public information for personal profiles includes your SQRIL username, profile photo, first and last name, month and year of SQRIL account creation, and public transactions in which you've been involved.
In addition to any public information, your SQRIL friends list may be seen by any logged-in SQRIL user; you may adjust or turn off this setting in the privacy section in your account settings.
We may disclose your personal information with:
- •Companies that SQRIL plans to merge with or be acquired by or, in the event of any bankruptcy, a bankruptcy estate. Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this Privacy Statement with respect to your personal information. If your personal information could be used contrary to this Statement, you will receive prior notice and the opportunity to communicate preferences you may have, if applicable.
- •Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties if SQRIL is compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure; when it is necessary to do so to comply with law; or where the disclosure of personal information is reasonably necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity, or to investigate violations of the SQRIL User Agreement, or as otherwise required by law.
- •Third party service providers who assist us in providing Services to you or who provide fraud detection or similar services on our or any vendor's behalf.
- •Service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations (for example, fraud prevention, payment processing, or technology services). Our contracts dictate that these service providers only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit.
- •Financial institutions and databases maintained by payment networks to facilitate payment processing.
- •Partners and merchants, their service providers and others involved in a transaction or our rewards program. For example when you use the Services to initiate purchases, or when you participate in transactions through the payment networks, we may disclose information about you and your SQRIL account with the other parties (or their service providers) involved in processing your transactions. Please note that personal information shared with partners and merchants (or their service providers) involved in a transaction is subject to the partner' and merchant' own privacy policy and procedures.
- •For our businesses and their beneficial owners, we report personal information to databases maintained by the card networks pursuant to the card scheme rules to fulfill listing and reporting obligations.
- •Other third parties with your consent or at your direction to do so, including if you authorize an account connection with a third-party account or platform or to send money to a payment network recipient.
- •For the purposes of this Privacy Statement, an "account connection" with such a third party is a connection you authorize or enable between your SQRIL account and a non-SQRIL account, payment instrument, or platform that you lawfully control or own. When you authorize such a connection, SQRIL and the third-party will exchange your personal information and other information directly. Examples of account connections include, without limitation: linking your SQRIL account to a social media account or social messaging service; connecting your SQRIL account to a third-party data aggregation or financial services company, if you provide such company with your SQRIL account log-in credentials; or using your SQRIL account to make payments to a merchant.
- •If you connect your SQRIL account to other financial accounts, directly or through a third-party service provider, we may have access to your account balance and account and transactional information, such as purchases and funds transfers. If you choose to create an account connection, we may receive information from the third-party about you and your use of the third-party's service. For example, if you connect your SQRIL account to a social media account, we will receive personal information from the social media provider via the account connection. We will use all such information that we receive from a third-party via an account connection in a manner consistent with this Privacy Statement.
- •Information that we disclose with a third-party based on an account connection will be used and disclosed in accordance with the third-party's privacy practices. Before authorizing an account connection, you should review the privacy notice of any third-party that will gain access to your personal information as part of the account connection. For example, personal information that SQRIL discloses with a third-party account or platform such as a social media account may in turn be disclosed with certain other parties, including the general public, depending on the account's or platform's privacy practices.
SQRIL does not send your personal information to third-party social networks unless you have specifically requested or authorized us to do so. When you broadcast information to such third-party social networks, such information is no longer under the control of SQRIL and is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of such third parties.
