This privacy policy describes the information we collect from you when you use our website.

Ercas values the Privacy of Merchants who use our website and all related sites, applications, services and tools (collectively, our "Services").
Our Role

Merchant Customers
If you are a Customer of an Ercas Merchant, you should read that Merchant's Privacy Policy and direct any privacy policy questions to that Merchant.
Data Protection Officer
We have a qualified Data Protection Officer(s) (DPO) responsible for overseeing the Company's data protection strategy and implementation to ensure compliance with the NDPA requirements. The DPO is knowledgeable on data privacy and protection principles and is familiar with the provisions of the NDPA.
