C. Parents and Students

As noted above, your School decides how your Personal Information is used and disclosed to us by the School. PayPAMS provides products and services to Authorized End Users of a School (our customers) as a "data processor." The main responsibility of what is known as a "data controller" lies with the School. This also means that the School's own privacy statement governs the use of your and your student's personal information. PayPAMS' Customers determine what information we collect through the PayPAMS products and services and how it is used, and we process that information according to our Customer's instructions and the terms of our contract with our Customer.

This section of our Privacy Statement is provided for informational purposes and describes how parent and student Personal Information is used when PayPAMS products and services are provided through a School. How that information is used depends on the School, so please consult your School's privacy statement.

Information We Collect:
Personal Information provided to us by a school or school district. The PayPAMS products and services integrate with our Customer's systems.

Depending on the School's request, we may also collect financial information of students and parents and/or legal guardians of students as is made available to us in order to provide services. PayPAMS will receive regular updated information to keep account information accurate and up to date.

Personal Information provided to us directly from an Authorized End User: Depending on the PayPAMS products and services your School uses, we may collect the following data categories directly from you: name, date of birth, grade, email address, student ID, meal account ID, account credentials, student records, certain health records, courses a student is enrolled in when we initially set up the products and services for your School, and additional records as requested by the School. Depending on the School's request, we may also collect financial information of students, parents of students, and household information in order to provide services. PayPAMS will receive regular updated information. Please note, however, that updates may take 1 to 3 business days to be reflected in your account.

Personal Information collected indirectly from an Authorized End User: We collect device and usage information when you access and use PayPAMS products and services, including information that your browser or the mobile app sends when you are using it. This data may include your unique device identifier, device information, IP address, your browser type and configuration, the date and time of your use of the product or service, and Cookie data.

On behalf of your school or school district. We use your information on behalf of and under the direction and control of your School, which is the data controller. We use the information in accordance with our agreement with your School to operate, maintain, and provide the features and functionality of the PayPAMS products and services. Your School determines how the Personal Information is used, whether for payment of services, applications for meal programs or otherwise.

How We Share This Information

We share student information in accordance with our agreement with your (or your child's) School. Generally, this includes the sharing of such information inside and outside PayPAMS under certain terms.

We also share your information with our service providers who facilitate the delivery of the Site and the Services. For example, when you use the "online chat" feature, this service and the "ticket" generated with your request is managed through a third party service provider.

Your School may share your Personal Information with third parties that process, approve and administer meal subsidy programs.
