            <p>Welcome to BRONX!</p>
            <p>This Privacy Policy was written to help you better understand how we collect, use and store your information. Since technology and privacy laws are always changing, we may occasionally update this policy. If a significant change is made, we will be sure to post a notice in your account admin. If you continue to use BRONX services after these changes are posted, you agree to the revised policy.</p>
            <p>By signing up for any of the products or services offered by BRONX (together, the "Services"), or dealing with a merchant using BRONX's Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and, as applicable, the BRONX Terms of Service. This Privacy Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (and your client, employer or another entity if you are acting on their behalf) as the user of the Services (referred to in this Privacy Policy as "you" or "your") and BRONX Technology Co., Ltd. and its affiliates. If we add any new features or tools to our Services, they will also be subject to this policy.</p>
            <p>When we use the term "Personal Information" in this policy, it means any information related to an identifiable individual, but does not include the name, title, business address, or telephone number of an employee of an organization.</p>
            <p>We will keep your Personal Information accurate, complete and up-to-date with the information that you provide to us. If you request access to your Personal Information, we will inform you of the existence, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as allowed by law, and provide you access to that information. We will always ask for your consent before using your Personal Information for a purpose other than those described in this Privacy Policy.</p>
            <p>This Privacy Policy may be available in languages other than English. To the extent of any inconsistencies or conflicts between this English Privacy Policy and our Privacy Policy available in another language, the most current English version of the Privacy Policy at <a href="https://vembers.com/digital-menu/privacy-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://vembers.com/digital-menu/privacy-policy</a> will prevail.</p>
