Privacy Policy

This policy describes HMS Payments' public website and the private research and editorial automation associated with Behind Payments.

Website visits

The site is hosted using Cloudflare. Standard technical information such as IP addresses, request timestamps and browser information may be processed by the hosting provider to deliver and secure the website. We do not currently offer public account registration on this website.

Google Drive access

Our private automation uses Google authorization to access designated research files in the connected Google Drive account. The purpose is to retrieve and organize payment-industry research and prepare editorial content. Access is exercised only through the permissions granted to the application.

Processing and sharing

Research content may be processed through configured automation and AI service providers to select, summarize and review news. Approved editorial content may be sent to a connected social media publishing service for publication. We do not sell Google user data or use it for advertising targeting.

Storage and retention

Research files and processing records may be stored in Google Drive and the private automation environment for operational continuity and duplicate prevention. Retention may vary according to operational needs and applicable service configurations.

Permissions and revocation

The account owner can revoke Google authorization through their Google Account security settings at any time. Revoking access prevents further authorized access by the integration, subject to previously processed data.

Security

We use provider authentication and access controls for connected services. No electronic system can be guaranteed completely secure.
