How We Share the Information We Collect

BILL Spend & Expense shares your personal information with our third-party service providers and business partners as needed to provide, maintain, support, secure, and improve the Service. Except as described below, when BILL shares personal information for a business purpose, BILL enters into a contract that describes the purpose for which the information is shared and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except for performing the contracted services.

Sharing within the BILL Spend & Expense network

To process payments on BILL Spend & Expense, we need to share some of your personal information with the person or company that you are paying or is paying you. Your contact information, date of sign-up, the number of payments you have received and other verification metrics like social graph activity may be provided to users or companies when you transact with, on, or through BILL

We work with vendors to enable them to accept payments from you using BILL Spend & Expense. In doing so, a vendor may share information about you with us, such as your mobile phone number or BILL Spend & Expense username, when you attempt to pay that vendor. We use this information to confirm with that vendor that you are a BILL Spend & Expense customer and that the vendor should enable BILL as a form of payment for your purchase.

Regardless, we will not disclose your credit card number or bank account number to anyone you have paid or who has paid you through BILL Spend & Expense, except with your express permission or if we are required to do so to comply with a subpoena or other legal process.

(collectively, “Bill.com Group Companies”) for the purposes identified in this Privacy Notice.  As we grow and expand our Services and offer our Services in other countries, we may add to our corporate family.  

Sharing in connection with business transactions or corporate changes

The information that we collect in connection with the Service is a business asset. As a result, we may share or transfer your information if we or any of the Bill.com Group Companies enter bankruptcy or are party to a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or asset sale.

Sharing personal information with other parties

BILL Spend & Expense does not share your personal information with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes.

We may share your personal information with:

  • Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties if compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure, when it is necessary to do so to comply with law, or where the disclosure of personal information is reasonably necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity, or to investigate violations of the BILL Spend & Expense Terms and Conditions of Use, or as otherwise required by law.
  • Third-party service providers who assist us in providing Services to you or who provide fraud detection or similar services on our behalf.
  • Third party service providers who provide any application or sign up process for BILL’s bill pay service, or to facilitate opening or managing or access to another BILL Spend & Expense branded product or service;

  • Other third parties, such as accounting software providers, with your consent or at your direction to do so.

Information From Person(s) Under the Age of 18

We do not knowingly solicit or collect information from any individuals under the age of 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 18, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

How We Protect and Store Information

We store and process your personal information using third-party servers located in secure data centers in the United States. The information is protected by physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable US federal and state regulations. We employ electronic safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption. We enforce physical access controls to our office and files. We authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems. Despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee that personal information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of our administrative, managerial, and technical safeguards. Therefore, we urge you to take adequate precautions to protect your personal data as well, including never sharing your BILL Spend & Expense password with anyone.

If BILL Spend & Expense learns of a systems security breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. BILL Spend & Expense may post a notice on the website if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

Links to other sites

The website application and mobile application may contain links to other sites. BILL Spend & Expense does not control the information collection of sites that can be reached through links from our products. We encourage our users to be aware when they are leaving the applications and to read the privacy statements of any site that collects personally identifiable information.

Multi-factor authentication communications

BILL Spend & Expense will send one (1) text message per login to users as part of multi-factor (“MFA”) and the login process. You understand that at any time you can opt out to stop receiving one-time passcodes via text message. If you wish to stop receiving text messages for MFA, simply type STOP. In texting STOP, you understand that you will no longer receive transactional messages containing one-time passcodes, which may affect your ability to log in to your BILL Spend & Expense account. Your opt out will only be effective for the mobile device from which you sent the STOP request and will not cover emails or other communications sent by BILL Spend & Expense. For questions or assistance concerning opting back in to MFA text messages, contact support at spendsupport@hq.bill.com or by calling 385-352-0374.

Standard messaging and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Not all phone carriers or text message providers may support this service.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

BILL Spend & Expense is always improving. As the BILL Spend & Expense service evolves, we may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. If we modify this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy to the website, and we will also revise the “last updated date” stated above. If we make material changes in the way we use personal information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on our service or by sending you an email. It is your responsibility to periodically review this Privacy Policy; users are bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy by using the service after such changes have been first posted.
