The updated terms expand the types of data collected and how that data is used and shared. For retailers, Faire now explicitly collects inferred or predicted business attributes (store type, category) and implements automated decision-making to determine credit limits and payment terms based on credit risk assessment. Business profile information, including store type, location, and engagement data, may now be displayed to other marketplace users and Brands to facilitate ordering and transactions. For users applying for Faire Pay, the policy now authorizes collection of Social Security numbers and employment information, shared with Lead Bank for credit assessment. You can review your account privacy settings to limit visibility of certain profile information to other users.
