How We Collect Information

We collect Personal Information, Deidentified Information, and Aggregate Information (collectively, “Your Information”) from the following categories of sources: 

 

Directly From You:  We may collect Personal Information from you when you voluntarily provide Personal Information to us by, for example, completing forms or services and products you purchase.

We collect Personal Information (such as browsing history, search history, and information on your interactions with the Services) that your browser transmits when you visit the Services.  We may collect Personal Information and Deidentified Information about how you access and interact with the Services through the use of automated tracking technology, such as “cookies” and “web beacons.”  

 

A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to a web browser, which enables the Services to remember and customize your subsequent visits.  Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies.  You can instruct your browser to block the acceptance of cookies or to provide you with a warning prompt before you accept cookies from the Services.  Please refer to your internet browser’s instructions to learn more about these functions.  If you reject cookies, the functionality of the Services may be limited and you may not be able to participate in several of the Services’ features.  Additionally, we may use web beacons, which are single-pixel, electronic images embedded in the Services that allow us to gather information about your browsing activities on the Services.

 

From Third-Party Services:  We may collect Personal Information about you from third parties whose privacy practices may differ from the practices described in this Privacy Policy.  We do not endorse or make any representations or warranties concerning, and will not in any way be liable for, any informational content, products, services, software, or other materials available through third parties.  Your use of third parties’ services and/or third-party websites and mobile applications is governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of those third parties and/or third-party websites and mobile applications.  We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies and statements of such third parties and/or

California Resident Rights and Choices

Under certain circumstances, California residents may have specific rights regarding their Personal Information.  California residents have the following rights under the CCPA:

 

  • Right to Access Specific Information.  You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our data processing practices over the past 12 months.

  • Right to Data Portability.  You have the right to receive information you request in a portable and readily usable format that allows you to transmit the information to another entity without hindrance.

Exercising Your Rights Under the CCPA and GDPR

 

Verifiable Consumer Requests:  To exercise your rights of access, data portability, and deletion described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

 

 

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.  You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

 

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.  The verifiable consumer request must: (1) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and (2) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.  We cannot respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request.  Making a request does not require you to create an account with us.  

 

Response Timing and Format:  We endeavor to respond to verifiable consumer requests within forty-five (45) days of receipt.  If we require more time, we may take up to an additional forty-five (45) days to respond.  We will inform you of the reason for the extension period in writing.  

 

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account.  If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at our option.  Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with your request, if applicable.

 

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you;

  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you;

  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information;

  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information;

 

For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance

 

For deletion requests, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.  We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) pursuant to enumerated exceptions detailed in the CCPA and GDPR.

 

We do not charge a fee to process a verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If a request warrants a fee, we will provide you with an explanation and a cost estimate for completing your request.

 

International Data Transfers

For Data Subjects from the EEA, we may transfer your Personal Information outside the EEA for processing pursuant to the purposes outlined above.  When you provide us Personal Information, you understand and agree that it may be transferred across national boundaries and processed outside the EEA, including by trusted third parties.

 

Retention Policy

We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.  Details of retention periods for different aspects of your Personal Information are available in our retention policy which you can request at the contact information provided below.

California’s “Shine the Light” law permits users of the Services that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.  To make such a request, please contact us at the contact information provided below.

 

Data Security

The Paths app software encrypts all text data, end to end, using 256 bit encryption methods. The Services use commercially reasonable security measures to protect Your Information.  However, no data transmitted over or accessible through the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we attempt to protect Your Information, we cannot ensure or warrant that Your Information will be completely secure from misappropriation by hackers or from other nefarious or criminal activities, or in the event of a failure of computer hardware, software, or a telecommunications network.

 

SPAM

We do not participate in bulk email solicitations that you have not consented to receive (i.e., “spam”).  We do not sell or disclose customer lists or email address lists to unrelated third parties.  Except as otherwise provided herein, we do not share Personal Information with any third-party advertisers.
