Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 5, 2026.
Fillsy ("we," "us") is a registered business in Ontario, Canada, providing a cancellation-recovery service for Square Appointments merchants ("merchants," "you," if you're a merchant). This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, and how it's handled — both for merchants who connect their Square account, and for merchants' clients who may receive a text message through the service.
Information we collect
From merchants, via Square OAuth: business and location details, appointment/booking data, and catalog pricing needed to detect cancellations, compute the Revenue Opportunity Report, and generate offers. We request the minimum OAuth scopes needed for whichever mode you connect in (read-only report mode, or full install).
From a merchant's clients, via the merchant's Square account: name, phone number, and booking history, used only to determine who may be offered a cancelled slot and to send that offer by SMS.
Directly from you, on certain public pages: if you claim a publicly-listed discounted slot, we collect the name and phone number you enter to complete the booking (passed to Square to create or match your customer record with that merchant). If you join a merchant's priority-list waitlist for openings, we collect the phone number you provide. If you use the free revenue-estimate calculator, it works anonymously by default — nothing identifying is collected unless you choose to leave a phone number and business name for us to follow up.
Message events: for each text message we send, we record whether it was delivered, whether the claim link inside it was opened, whether the offer was claimed, and any opt-out reply — this is how we honor STOP requests permanently and keep an audit trail of consent and delivery.
Site visitors: we do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers of any kind. The only visitor-level tracking on this site is the revenue-estimate calculator's own session-scoped input tracking, described under Cookies below.
How we use it
- Detect cancelled appointment slots and determine whether a real dollar recovery opportunity exists.
- Identify which clients may lawfully be offered a slot, and send that one SMS offer.
- Process a claimed offer: rebook the slot on the merchant's Square calendar and, where a discount applies, process payment through Square.
- Honor opt-out (STOP) requests, permanently and across every future offer from that merchant.
- Generate the Revenue Opportunity Report and merchant-facing dashboard.
- Operate and maintain the service, and build new features and services, on the terms set out under "Improving the service" below.
We do not use this data to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell personal information.
Improving the service
We use what we learn from running the service to make it better and to build new features, and we think you should know exactly what that does and doesn't mean.
Personal information about a merchant's clients is used only to deliver the service to that merchant. A client's name, phone number, or booking history is never used to develop anything, to train any model, or for any purpose outside sending and fulfilling that merchant's own offers.
Beyond that, we work only with aggregated or de-identified data: patterns and totals with the identifying details stripped out, such as how often a cancelled slot gets filled, how far ahead people tend to book, or which discount levels actually get claimed. We use this to tune how the service behaves, to design and build new features, and to develop new services for the same kind of business.
Benchmark figures shown to other businesses come from this aggregated data. Once enough merchants are using the service, the revenue-estimate calculator and the Revenue Opportunity Report can show real recovery figures instead of general industry ones. Those are computed across many merchants at once, and no individual business or client is identified or identifiable in them. Below that threshold we show industry figures and say so.
A merchant who would rather their data was not used this way can tell us at the contact below and we will exclude their account from it. Doing so changes nothing about the service they receive.
SMS messaging & consent
We only send SMS offers where we have a lawful basis to do so — either an existing business relationship with the merchant (e.g. a recent booking or purchase) or express consent captured through the claim flow or a priority-list signup form. This follows Canada's CASL and, for US numbers, the TCPA. Every message identifies the merchant and explains how to stop receiving messages. Reply STOP at any time and you will not receive another message from that merchant through this service — we honor opt-outs immediately and permanently, and the record of that request is never used for anything other than suppressing future messages.
Sharing
We share data only as needed to run the service: with Square, Inc. (the platform of record for bookings, payments, and customer records), with Twilio Inc. (our SMS delivery provider, solely to send the messages described above), and with Render (our hosting and database provider). We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may disclose information if required by law.
Mobile opt-in data and consent are never shared with or sold to third parties for marketing purposes. A phone number and the consent tied to it are used only to send the messages described on this page and on our messaging program page, never for any other business's marketing or for advertising of any kind.
Twilio and Render process and store data outside Canada (in the United States) as part of delivering the service described in this policy. This cross-border processing is necessary for us to operate the service at all, consistent with PIPEDA's requirements for organizations that transfer personal information internationally.
Cookies & similar technologies
We use two first-party cookies, both strictly functional: one keeps a merchant signed into their dashboard, one keeps an admin signed into internal tools. Neither is used for advertising or cross-site tracking, and we don't use any third-party analytics or tracking pixels. The revenue-estimate calculator also uses your browser's own session storage (not a cookie — never sent to us automatically) to remember your inputs if you navigate back to the page; if you later choose to leave contact info, that in-progress estimate is linked to it.
Data retention
We retain booking and offer data for as long as a merchant's account is active, plus a limited period afterward for accounting, dispute-handling, and compliance evidence (e.g. proof of consent for a sent message). A merchant may request deletion of their account data at any time via the contact below, subject to records we're legally required to retain. Phone numbers left through a priority-list waitlist or the revenue-estimate calculator are retained until deletion is requested via the contact below — we don't currently auto-expire these on a fixed schedule.
Security
Access to merchant and client data is limited to what the service needs to operate, and OAuth tokens and other credentials are stored encrypted at rest. No system is perfectly secure, but we treat this data with the same care we'd want applied to our own.
Your rights
If you're a merchant's client and want to know what data we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted, contact us at the email below — we'll also point you to the merchant, who is the primary data controller for their own client relationships under Square's own terms.
Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA)
We're a Canada-first service and handle personal information consistent with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA): we collect only what's needed to operate, maintain, and improve the service, and you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your information as described under "Your rights" above. If you have an unresolved privacy concern after contacting us, you may escalate it to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca).
Children's privacy
This service is directed at businesses, not children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, we'll update the date above and, where required, notify merchants directly.
