Trinsic Google Wallet Relying Party Terms of Service

These Trinsic Google Wallet Relying Party Terms of Service (“Relying Party Terms “) form a legally binding contract between Trinsic, Inc. (“Trinsic” or “Company” or “Aggregator”) and the party using the Verify with Google Wallet Program (the “Specified Service”) through or in connection with Trinsic, as an aggregator, to verify user age, identity, or credentials (collectively, “you”, “your”, or the “Relying Party,” as further defined below).  By accessing, using, processing, and/or storing End User Data (defined below) in connection with the Specified Service, you are agreeing to these Relying Party Terms. These Relying Party Terms are effective as of the date you electronically accept these Terms (the “Effective Date”).  

You acknowledge that Trinsic is a duly authorized aggregator of the Specified Service and that Trinsic has been granted rights by Google to facilitate the licensing and authorization of the Specified Service subject to, without limitation, the terms provided herein. You agree to comply with these Relying Party Terms and that the Relying Party Terms control your relationship with Trinsic as it relates to the Specified Service, in addition to any other applicable terms or agreements in place between you and Trinsic, including but not limited to the Google Wallet Activation Form (“Activation Form”) (collectively with these Relying Party Terms, the “Terms”). 

Section 1: Definitions

1.1. “Brand Features” means the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of each party.

1.2. “Product” means your goods and/or services that legitimately require you to verify the age, identity, or credentials of your end users in order for your end users to access or use those goods and/or services.

1.3 “Relying Party” means the person or entity that accesses, uses, processes, and/or stores End User Data in order to verify user age, identity, or credentials. 

1.4 “End User Data” means any personal data relating to an individual that is collected, processed, transmitted, stored, or returned through the Specified Service that could directly or indirectly identify that individual.

Section 2: Term Acceptance

2.1. Accepting the Terms.  If you are agreeing to these terms on behalf of another individual or entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind the Relying Party to the Terms and by accepting the Terms, you are doing so as authorized by and on behalf of the Relying Party (and, for the avoidance any doubt, all references to “you” or “your” in the Terms include that Relying Party). You may not access, use, process, and/or store End User Data and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Trinsic, or (b) you are a person barred from using or receiving End User Data under the applicable laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the End User Data.   

Section 3: Program Requirements

3.1 Entitlements. You acknowledge and agree that you will not access or use, or attempt to access or use, End User Data unless you have been provided with entitlement to do so. To obtain such entitlement, you must meet the following entitlement requirements, as determined by Trinsic:

  1. Your access, use, processing, and/or storage of End User Data must comply with the Google Pay and Wallet APIs Acceptable Use Policy, as updated from time to time by Google. The Google Pay and Wallet APIs Acceptable Use Policy as updated will automatically become a part of these terms. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Google Pay and Wallet APIs Acceptable Use Policy applies to you, your Product, and any End User Data, however accessed; 
  2. Prior to accessing the Specified Service, you must complete and execute an Activation Form containing full and accurate information as requested. You may not deviate from the use case identified in your Activation Form after you begin using the Specified Service unless you amend the applicable agreement and receive updated approval from Trinsic;
  3. Your Product must involve goods and/or services for which verifying an end user’s age, identity, or credentials is required by law, or some other legitimate purposes such as combating fraud or public safety, and you must also only verify information that is strictly necessary for those purposes; and
  4. You must provide and maintain publicly available and regularly updated links to user terms of service and a privacy policy relating to the collection and processing of any information relating to your Product that complies with applicable law. You are solely responsible for obtaining any consents or providing any notices or opt-outs relating to your Products that are required by applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Trinsic may deny or revoke access to the Specified Service at any time in its sole discretion.

Section 4: End User Data

  1. Purpose. You agree to only request or access the specific data value(s) of End User Data from users of your Product for age, identity, or credential verification purposes and only when such verification:
    1. is required by law, or some other legitimate purpose such as public safety or combatting fraud, and 
    2. Is strictly necessary for the user to access or use your Product. 
  1. Data Minimization. You agree to not request that end users provide any End User Data for any purpose other than the purposes in Section 4.1. You agree to only request or access the specific End User Data from end users of your Product that are strictly required for verifying the end user’s age, identity, or credentials and not any additional data.

    1. use, process, store, or manipulate End User Data, or combine End User Data with other data, without first (i) providing the applicable end user clear and conspicuous advance notice of such processing, and (ii) obtaining such end user’s agreement to such processing; or 
    2. share, transfer, disclose, disseminate, or otherwise make available End User Data to any third parties.
  1. Data Portability.   For as long as you use, process, or store any End User Data, you agree to enable your users to export their equivalent data to other services or applications of their choice in a way that’s substantially as fast and easy as exporting such data from Google products and services, subject to applicable laws and security restrictions.
  1. Accuracy. End User Data may contain data, images, and messages that are controlled and updated solely by the third-party provider that issues them. You agree that Trinsic will not be responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in any data obtained through the Specified Service that was provided by the third-party issuer of the relevant credential.

Monitoring.  YOU AGREE THAT GOOGLE MAY MONITOR YOUR ACCESS AND USE OF END USER DATA TO ENSURE QUALITY AND SECURITY, IMPROVE GOOGLE’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VERIFY YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICIBLE TERMS. This monitoring may include Google accessing and testing your access to and use of End User Data in connection with your Product, for example to identify security issues that could affect Google or its users. You will not interfere with this monitoring. Google may use any technical means to overcome such interference. Google may directly suspend access to End User Data by you or your Product without notice if Google reasonably believes that you are in violation of the Terms.
  1. Security.  You are solely responsible for security relating to your access and use of End User Data relating to your Products, including the security of any End User Data or other information, including personal data, you collect, process, or store. You will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect user information collected by your Product, including personal data, from unauthorized access or use and will promptly notify your users of any unauthorized access or use of such information to the extent required by applicable law.
  1. Ownership.  By accessing, using, processing, and/or storing End User Data, you do not acquire ownership of any rights in the Specified Service or the content that is accessed through the specified Service.
  1. Compliance with Law, Third Party Rights, and Other Google Terms of Service.  You will comply with all applicable law (including without limitation laws regarding the import or export of data or software, privacy, data protection, security, and local laws).
