At PayLease, LLC, d/b/a Zego, a Global Payments Company, we respect your concerns about privacy. This Website Privacy Notice (“Notice”) describes how we collect, use and share personal information from and about users of the web and mobile applications (“Apps”) and the websites, forums, emails and blogs (“Sites”) that link to this Notice, subject to the additional information on the scope of this Notice provided below. For the purposes of this Notice, “Zego”, “we” and “us” refer to PayLease, LLC, d/b/a Zego, and to its subsidiaries and affiliates, each as the context requires.
In order to understand how Zego processes personal information, you must first understand how Zego serves its customers and their residents. Zego provides software solutions (the “Zego Solutions”) that help residential and commercial real estate property owners and property managers (the “Clients”) manage their real estate and other assets by, among other things, facilitating transactions between the Clients and their residents and service providers.
Zego provides the Zego Solutions according to two different models:
- In some cases, the Zego Solutions are integrated into comprehensive property management software solutions offered to the Clients by Zego partners (the “Integrated Solutions”). When the Zego Solutions are offered to a Client as a part of an Integrated Solution, Zego’s role is typically limited to the processing of resident payments on behalf of that Client. When Zego processes resident personal information exclusively for the purpose of providing payment processing services to a Client through an Integrated Solution, Zego does so pursuant to the terms of its contractual agreement(s) with that Client and the partner who worked with Zego to develop the Integrated Solution, and that processing of resident personal information is subject to the terms of the privacy notice that the Client provides to its residents. It is not subject to the terms of this Notice.
- In other cases, Zego provides the Zego Solutions to Clients directly, and, in addition to payment processing services, the Zego Solutions include Apps for residents that incorporate features designed to improve the resident experience, or to add value for the resident, in a way that is not directly related to the resident’s relationship with the Client (“Resident Features”). Examples of Resident Features include features that enable residents to report their rent payment history to credit bureaus, or that make residents aware of discounts and opportunities related to products and services that may be of interest to them outside of their relationship with a Client. When Zego processes resident personal information for the purpose of providing the Resident Features, that processing of resident personal information is subject to the terms of this Notice.
Regardless of the model of services, Zego’s processing of personal information about prospects, Clients, partners, and their personnel through Sites or Apps that link to this Notice is always subject to the terms of this Notice, as is Zego’s processing of personal information relating to any other users of the Sites or Apps.
Please read this Notice carefully. If you have any questions about the content of this Notice, or about whether or how it applies to you, you may contact us at privacy@globalpay.com, or by using the other methods provided in the “Contact Us” section below.
Please note that, in addition to this Notice, our Terms of Use and/or other contract terms (such as the Zego Services Agreement and the associated Terms and Conditions) may apply to you, depending on the nature of your relationship with Zego and/or your use of the Sites and/or Apps.

Sources of Personal Information
Information that you provide to us: We collect and process personal information that you choose to provide to us when you set up an account with us, use our Sites or Apps, or communicate with us. For example, if you attempt to register for an account with us, we may request your name, contact information, and other information necessary to direct your payments to the appropriate Client (for residents) or to evaluate your suitability for the services (for prospects and Clients). In similar fashion, if you choose to upload a photographic image of yourself and associate it with your profile in one or more of our Apps, such as the Mobile Doorman application, then our application will display that image to you within the application, and we will share it with other users who interact with you through the application, until such time as you remove the image. Providing us with personal information in these contexts is voluntary, and you can always choose not to provide it, but if you do not provide us with the information necessary to perform the product of service you request, you may not be able to participate in that product or service.
Information collected from third parties: We may collect information about you from third parties in the course of marketing our services to you or providing our services to you. For example, we may collect personal information like your name and contact information from a referral partner or other third party in order to contact you about the services we provide. We may also receive business-related information about you from third party companies that supplement our business customer records with firmographic and professional information.
Information collected through technology: When you use our Sites or Apps or interact with an email we send to you, we may collect certain information automatically, including your account or device identifier and usage information, such as the pages that you visit, links you click, types of content you interact with, frequency and duration of your activities, and other information about how you use our services. You have the ability to express your preference regarding some of the ways we collect information through technology in some of our services (see “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies” for more information).
How We Use the Personal Information We Collect
Subject to your consent if required by law, we may use your personal information for the following business purposes:
- To contact you regarding any inquiry you make or to fulfill a request, such as, for example, a request for information about our products and services;
- To improve and personalize your experience when you use our Sites or Apps;

We retain the personal information we collect for different periods of time depending on what it is and how we use it, but only for as long as is necessary to complete the legitimate business or legal purposes for which we collected it. In many cases, the retention period will correspond to the time period for which you have an account or other relationship with us plus an established period after that relationship ends, which will be defined by our regulatory requirements.
Our Processing of Sensitive Personal Information
Sensitive Personal Information includes personal information defined as sensitive under applicable privacy and data protection laws. When we collect Sensitive Personal Information, we will limit our use and disclosure of that information to what is necessary to perform the services, unless we are required to do otherwise under applicable laws. In addition to processing Sensitive Personal Information as required to perform the services, we may process Sensitive Personal Information to detect and prevent security incidents or fraud, to ensure the physical safety of natural persons, for short-term transient uses (when consistent with the purpose for which the information was collected), and to verify or maintain the quality or safety of any services we perform. Under some privacy and data protection laws, you may have the right to limit the processing of your Sensitive Personal Information. You can find more information about your rights in other sections of this Notice, including any applicable section directed at residents of the state in which you reside.
Zego Does Not Process Biometric Information
Zego does not collect, process or store any biometric information about you. If you are a user of the Apps, you may have the option to enable authentication features like Face ID (for devices using Apple’s iOS) or Fingerprint (for devices using Google’s Android OS) to facilitate your sign-in process. When you enable these features, Zego does not gain access to any biometric information stored within your device. Zego simply receives a notification, through your device’s operating system, indicating whether your authentication attempt was or was not successful. To learn more about Apple’s Face ID feature and your privacy, please click here. To learn more about Google’s Fingerprint feature and your privacy, please click here. Zego is not responsible for any third party’s processing of your personal information.
How We Share the Personal Information We Collect
Except as otherwise specified, we may share any of the categories of your personal information in the manner and for the purposes described below:
- With Zego affiliates, where such disclosure is necessary to provide the services or to manage our business (see “Our Relationship with Affiliate Companies” below).
- With service providers whose systems, applications, products or services help us to provide the services. For example, we share personal information with IT service providers who help manage our back office systems or administer our Sites and Apps. We take steps aimed at ensuring that all such persons process your personal information as disclosed by us only as necessary for their service delivery and for no other purpose.
- With third parties with whom you have a relationship. For example, if you were referred to Zego by a third party partner, we may share information with the referring partner in accordance with our business relationship with you and that partner.
- With the appropriate Client(s), if you are a resident affiliated with a specific Client or Clients.
- With logistics service providers to enable the delivery of packages to individuals.
- With other third parties, such as our partners or entities whose offers you have selected within the marketplace, with whom you direct us to share your personal information, subject to your specific consent for such data sharing.
- In the case of Internet/Electronic Activity information (see “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies” below), with advertisers, social media networks, and analytics providers for marketing purposes, to help us measure our ad campaigns, and to better understand how individuals interact with our Sites and Apps. For example, we use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of our Sites and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and you can opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Zego may also disclose personal information about you if it believes such disclosure is necessary to comply with laws or respond to lawful requests and legal process, to enforce our agreements, policies and terms of use and to protect or defend the rights, safety or property of Zego, users of the services or any person. In addition, subject to applicable legal requirements, we may share personal information in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of our business assets to another company.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary compensation. To the extent that we share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising, we will implement features within the services that enable you to see a list of the entities with which the personal information is shared and which enable you to express your preferences. You can find additional information about how those third parties use personal information in the applicable third-party privacy notice.
Our Relationship with Affiliate Companies
Subject to your consent if required by applicable law, we may appoint an affiliate company to process personal information in a service provider role. In most cases, we will remain responsible for that company’s processing of your personal information pursuant to applicable data privacy laws. Because our affiliate companies are located around the globe, your personal information may be transferred to and stored in the United States or in another country outside of the country in which you reside, which may be subject to different standards of data protection than your country of residence. We take appropriate steps to ensure that transfers of personal information are in accordance with applicable law.
Data Anonymization and Aggregation
Subject to your consent if required by law, we may anonymize or aggregate your personal information in such a way as to ensure that you are not identified or identifiable from it, in order to use the anonymized or aggregated data, for example, for statistical analysis and administration including analysis of trends, to carry out actuarial work, to tailor products and services and to conduct risk assessments and analysis of costs and charges in relation to our products and services. We may share anonymized or aggregated data with our global affiliates and with other third parties. This Notice does not restrict Zego’s use or sharing of any non-personal, summarized, derived, anonymized or aggregated information.
Login Details and Your Responsibility
Subject to your consent if required by law, we will collect and process your personal information as necessary to set up and administer your login credentials for our Sites and Apps. We will use “cookies” to “remember” the machine or other device you use to access our Sites (see “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies” below). Please remember that if we contact you, we will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited email, message or phone call. If you choose to use the log-in facility available on our Sites and Apps, you are required to adhere to the security procedures we establish in the documentation we provide you as part of the services.
Managing Your Preferences
Subject to your consent if required by applicable law, we may use your personal information to provide you with direct marketing information about our products and services, as well as those of our global affiliates and third parties. Our direct marketing may be by email, telephone, post or SMS or such other method(s) as may become relevant. In addition, we may provide direct marketing information, and we may permit others to do that, as allowed by our terms.
We will take steps to seek to ensure that any direct marketing from us and which is sent by electronic means will provide a simple means for you to stop further communications, in accordance with applicable law. For example, in emails, we may provide you with an “unsubscribe” link, or an email address to which you can send an opt-out request. In addition, if we need your consent for direct marketing communications under applicable law, and if you provide your consent, you will be able to change your mind at any time.
