introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Payphone Global Inc (“Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://payphone.app (“Website”). The Policy explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners make extensive use of cookies to make their websites work, or to do so more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the owner of the website (in this case, Payphone Global Inc) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the owner of the website are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies make it possible to provide third-party features or functionality on or through the website (for example, advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when you visit the website in question and when you visit other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use our own and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons for our Website to work, and we refer to them as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also allow us to track and target the interests of our users to improve the experience on our Digital Properties. Third parties use cookies on our Website for advertising, analytical and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject.
Essential cookies cannot be rejected, as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager is located on the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to refuse cookies, you can continue to use our Website, although your access to some features and areas of our Website may be restricted. You can also configure or modify your web browser controls to accept or reject cookies.
The specific types of own and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they serve are described in the sections below (taking into account that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the Digital Properties you visit).
Essential Website Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with the services available through our Website and to use some of its functions, such as access to secure areas.
Performance and functionality cookies
These cookies are used to improve the performance and functionality of our Website, but are not essential for their use. However, without these cookies, some features (for example, videos) may not be available.
Analytical and personalization cookies
These cookies collect information that is used in aggregated form to help us understand how our Website is being used or the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, or to help us customize our Website for you.
Advertising cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions such as preventing the same advertisement from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are displayed correctly for advertisers and, in some cases, selecting ads that are based on your interests.
Social media cookies
These cookies are used to allow you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Website through third-party social networks and other sites. These cookies can also be used for advertising purposes.
Unclassified cookies
These are cookies that have not yet been classified. We are in the process of classifying these cookies with the help of their vendors.
We are currently undergoing an auditing and technical updating process to categorize all the cookies present on our website.
- Our Commitment: We are committed to classifying and reporting on the purpose, provider and duration of any new or unidentified cookie in a maximum period of [30/60] days since its initial detection.
- Why is this happening? The digital ecosystem is constantly evolving and some external providers may update their tools or introduce new identifiers. We work closely with our technology partners to obtain this information as soon as possible and to ensure that you have full control over your privacy.

- Right of Access: Request a copy of the personal data that we have collected through cookies.
- Right of Rectification: Request the correction of any incomplete or inaccurate data.

What about other tracking technologies, such as web beacons?
Cookies aren't the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes referred to as “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are small graphic files that contain a unique identifier that allows us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email that includes them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page to another within a website, to deliver cookies or to communicate with them, to understand if you have arrived at the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to work properly, so refusing them will affect their operation.
Regulatory Compliance
In Payphone, we are committed to ensuring that the processing of your personal data is carried out with the highest standards of security and respect for privacy. Depending on your geographical location, our website and the use of cookies comply with the most demanding international and local legal frameworks:

We operate under strict compliance with the Organic Law on the Protection of Personal Data (LOPDP) of the Republic of Ecuador. This law guarantees your rights of access, rectification, deletion and opposition to your data. In addition, for our users in the region, we align our practices with the principles of transparency and security required by the data protection regulations of the Latin American countries where we provide service.
2. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - Europe)
For all users who access our services from the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), we comply with the provisions of General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
- We guarantee that the use of non-essential cookies is based solely on your affirmative consent.
- We implement technical measures to ensure that international data transfers, if any, are carried out under secure legal mechanisms (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).
3. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA - USA)

Do they serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services in which you may be interested. They can also use technology to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. To do this, they may use cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that may interest you. The information collected through this process does not allow us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you, unless you choose to provide them.
