4. Third Parties We Share Personal Information With

We may disclose Personal Information that you provide to us or that we collect automatically on the Site and through our Services to the following categories of third parties, but only if it is necessary and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations:

  • Service Providers: These include payment processors, web hosting and data storage providers, and other entities that assist us in delivering and developing our Services.
  • Public Authorities: This includes law enforcement when we are legally required to disclose information or when it is necessary to protect our rights or the rights of third parties.
  • Affiliated Entities: Our subsidiaries and affiliates, or a subsequent owner, co-owner, or operator of our Site and/or Services, and their advisors in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, restructuring, the sale of substantially all of our stock and/or assets, or in connection with bankruptcy proceedings or other corporate reorganization, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We will implement strict contracts and data processing agreements with third parties to ensure they use Personal Information only for the specific purposes outlined by us and that they protect the privacy and security of the Personal Information they receive.

5. Links to Other Websites

From time to time, the Services may contain links to external sites. These sites may include links to offers and promotions from third parties. We include these links to help you find information, products, or services that you might find helpful or interesting. However, we are not responsible for the content of these sites or what they offer, and we cannot guarantee that they will always be available or functioning properly.

The presence of links to these external sites does not imply any endorsement or affiliation with the individuals or entities that operate or promote them. The terms and conditions of use and privacy policies for any website controlled, owned, or operated by a third party will dictate how you may use that website. You use these third-party websites at your own risk.

Likemetric makes it clear that it is not responsible for any outcomes arising from your use or viewing of websites or other content linked from the Services. By using these links, you agree not to hold Likemetric responsible for any events or issues that may occur as a result of clicking on a link provided in the Services.

We also conduct training for Likemetric employees on privacy and security issues. You can read more details about Likemetric's security practices at https://likemetric.com/security.

7. Do Not Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms

Some web browsers transmit "do-not-track" signals to websites. Due to differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted or whether they are aware of them. Currently, we do not take action in response to these signals.

8. Managing Your Privacy

We keep your data on your behalf and for your benefit. You can correct, terminate, or delete your Account information by following the instructions on the Services or by emailing us at hi@joinglyph.com. You may also reach out to this email for further assistance and questions regarding the Privacy Policy or to request a copy of your Account data.

If you cancel your Account or request us to delete your information, Likemetric will limit its access to Personal Information to perform what is requested by you and will delete information accessible to us within seven business days.

For certain services, Likemetric may employ Artificial Intelligence (AI) or other similar technologies, which may include the processing of user data. We will take reasonable measures to preserve the privacy and security of such data; however, we are not liable for any loss or harm resulting from the user's use of AI or similar technologies. By utilizing our services, you understand and accept the risks involved with the use of AI or similar technologies and agree to indemnify and hold Likemetric harmless for any claims, damages, or losses resulting from such usage.

In addition, Likemetric provides private cloud services to meet the needs of consumers and businesses wanting their customer data to be strictly isolated. Private cloud customers have greater control over their underlying infrastructure, allowing them to customize it to fit their specific business and regulatory needs. Customers who require strict segregation of their data (such as those dealing with Protected Health Information - PHI) can choose the Private Cloud option to maintain complete control over their compute and data infrastructure, ensuring compliance with their data protection requirements.

9. Your Rights

We take steps to help ensure that you are able to exercise your rights regarding Personal Information about you in accordance with applicable law. If you would like to access, review, erase, withdraw your consent, object to, or restrict the processing of Personal Information we collect about you, you may submit a request to hi@joinglyph.com. We will promptly review all such requests in accordance with applicable laws.

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority or other regulatory agency if you believe that we have violated any of your rights concerning your Personal Information. We encourage you to first reach out to us at hi@joinglyph.com, so we have the opportunity to address your concerns directly before you take further action.

10. California Residents

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 requires certain businesses that share customer Personal Information with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes to respond to requests from California customers regarding the businesses’ practices related to such information-sharing. As of now, we do not share or disclose your Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If we change our practices in the future, we will implement an opt-out policy as required under California law.

Furthermore, subject to certain exemptions, California residents have the following rights regarding Personal Information we may have collected about them:

Requests to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose:

  • The categories of Personal Information we have collected about you;
  • The categories of Personal Information about you that we have sold or disclosed for a business purpose;
  • The categories of sources from which we have collected Personal Information about you;
  • The business or commercial purposes for collecting or selling Personal Information about you;
  • The categories of Personal Information sold or shared about you, if any, as well as the categories of third parties to whom that Personal Information was sold, by category of Personal Information for each party; and
  • The specific pieces of Personal Information collected.

You may submit a request to know using one of the methods described below in “Methods for Submitting Consumer Requests and Our Response to Requests.” The delivery of our response may occur electronically or by mail. We are not required to respond to requests to know more than twice in a 12-month period.

We do not sell, and have not sold in the past 12 months, Personal Information about California residents. Therefore, we have not included a “Do Not Sell My Personal Info” link on our Site. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and take any necessary action to comply with applicable law. However, we do disclose Personal Information for business purposes as described in the “Third Parties We Share Personal Information With” section above.

Requests to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any Personal Information about you that we have collected. Upon receiving a verified request to delete Personal Information, we will proceed to delete the information unless otherwise required or authorized by law.

You may submit a request to delete your Personal Information using one of the methods described below in “Methods for Submitting Consumer Requests and Our Response to Requests.”

Authorized Agents

You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. To do this, you must provide the authorized agent with written permission to submit a request on your behalf, and we may require that you verify your identity directly with us. Alternatively, an authorized agent that has been granted power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000-4465 may submit a request on your behalf.

Methods for Submitting Consumer Requests and Our Response to Requests

You may submit a request for access or a request to delete Personal Information about you via:

  • email at hi@joinglyph.com with the subject line “Personal Information Request.”

Upon receipt of a request, we may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. Any additional information you provide will be used solely for verification purposes and not for any other reasons. We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 days of receipt. Subject to our ability to verify your identity, we will respond to your request within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason for the delay and the extended period in writing.

To protect your privacy and the security of your Personal Information, we will verify your request by authenticating your Account or by requesting the submission of identifying information, such as a driver’s license or other photo identification. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of the verifiable consumer request. Our response will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that a fee is warranted, we will inform you of the reason for this decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

The Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your California privacy rights as described above. Unless permitted by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services;
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties;
  • Provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services; or
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

11. International Transfers of Personal Information

Likemetric is based in the United States. As a result, Personal Information that we collect through the Services and on the Site may be transferred to our U.S. offices. We may also work with third-party service providers in the U.S. and other countries to support our business activities. Therefore, Personal Information may be transferred to, stored on servers in, and accessed from the United States and countries other than the one in which the Personal Information was initially collected. In all such instances, we use, transfer, and disclose Personal Information solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable laws.

Accountability for Onward Transfer:

a. Transfer to Third-Party Controllers:

When transferring Personal Information to a third party acting as a controller, Likemetric may enter into a contractual agreement that ensures that the data is processed only for limited and specified purposes consistent with individual consent. The contract may stipulate that the recipient will provide a level of protection consistent with Likemetric’s policies and will notify us if it determines that it can no longer meet this obligation. Upon such determination, the third-party controller may cease processing or take other reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate the situation.

b. Transfer to Third-Party Agents:

When transferring Personal Information to a third party acting as an agent, Likemetric may:

  • (i) Transfer such data only for limited and specified purposes;
  • (ii) Ensure that the agent is obligated to provide at least a comparable level of privacy protection;
  • (iii) Take reasonable steps to ensure effective processing consistent with our obligations;
  • (iv) Request the agent to notify us if it determines that it cannot provide the same level of protection;
  • (v) Upon notice, take reasonable steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing; and
  • (vi) Provide relevant privacy provisions of its contract with the agent upon request.

Choice:

a. Opt-Out Mechanism:

Likemetric may offer individuals the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether their Personal Information is disclosed to a third party or used for purposes materially different from the purposes for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized. Mechanisms for opting out will be made available, though they may not always be applicable.

b. Exceptions:

Choice may not be required when disclosure is made to a third party acting as an agent under the instructions of Likemetric. However, Likemetric shall generally enter into a contract with such agents.

c. Opt-In for Sensitive Information:

For sensitive information, Likemetric may obtain affirmative express consent (opt-in) from individuals prior to disclosure to a third party or use for purposes other than those originally collected or subsequently authorized. Additionally, Likemetric may treat any Personal Information received from a third party as sensitive if it has been identified and treated as such.

12. Compliance with Data Privacy Frameworks

Likemetric complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Likemetric has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles).

In the event of any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program and to view our certification, please visit: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, Likemetric commits to cooperate and comply with the advice of the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs), the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) regarding unresolved complaints concerning our handling of Personal Data and human resources data received in reliance on the mentioned frameworks.

Likemetric acknowledges that it is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding privacy and data protection matters. Under certain conditions, individuals have the right to invoke binding arbitration. Likemetric is obligated to arbitrate claims and follow the terms set forth in Annex I of the DPF Principles, provided that an individual has invoked binding arbitration by delivering notice to Likemetric and following the procedures and conditions established in Annex I of the Principles.

13. Data Retention

We will delete your Personal Information when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or when you request us to do so. Please note that we may be required by law or other legal obligations to retain some of your Personal Information, even after your request for deletion. However, once those requirements are no longer in effect, we will promptly delete your Personal Information in accordance with your request.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your Personal Information is treated with the utmost care and respect. Our security measures and Privacy Policy are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. This Privacy Policy may change as we update and expand the Services. You can determine when this Privacy Policy was last updated by reviewing the "Last Updated" legend at the top of this page.

We will endeavor to notify you of these changes by email, but we will not be liable for any failure to do so. We also encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. If you do not understand any of the terms or conditions of any of our policies, you may inquire via email at security@likemetric.com.
