About your banking data

We are using PayPal to manage all your payments.

When you purchase a YAMM license, PayPal only provides us with your customer email address (linked to your PayPal account).

But we have no information on your postal address, and PayPal does not give us any information on bank and credit card either, not even the last 4 digits.

The automatic renewal of your license is also 100% handled by PayPal. Our licenses are billed annually, and we are not able to bill you before the renewal date. If you want to cancel your recurring payment, you can do that from your PayPal account, or send us an email.

However, we reserve the right to increase our pricing year over year, which is limited to +20% by PayPal for automatic renewals.

Do we share or transfer your data to third-parties?
