Privacy Policy (February 6, 2020)

This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the privacy practices of 317 Labs, Inc. d/b/a Emotive and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Emotive” or “us” or “we”).

Emotive provides marketing technology services to other businesses – our clients. To take advantage of our services, our clients share with us information about their individual consumers, including contact details and shopping histories. We analyze that information and develop and send communications to the consumers only at the direction of the client who provided the information, and only on that client’s behalf. We may also collect personal data for our own business purposes in connection with our business, such as business contact details of potential customers or US-based job applicants’ resumes. We do not collect employee or HR related data in the EU or Switzerland, or transfer such information either into or out of the EU or Switzerland.

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• The www.emotive.io website and any other websites or online services controlled by us and which display this Privacy Policy, and
• Marketing technology services that we provide to our clients.

Our website and online services are designed for businesses and are not intended for personal, family or household use. Accordingly, we treat all personal information covered by this Privacy Policy, including information about any visitors to our website, as pertaining to individuals acting as business representatives, rather than in their personal capacity.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information we collect for Emotive’s own business purposes

We may collect information about individuals who interact with Emotive when using our website or services (such as employees of our clients), US-based job applicants, and other individuals.

How we collect the information

We may collect information:

·      Directly from individuals.

·      From third party vendors, data brokers, or business partners.

·      From recruiters for US-based job candidates.

Types of information we collect

The types of information we collect include:

·      Personal and business contact information (such as name, business name, address, telephone number, email address, and mailing address).

·      Payment information (such as credit card or other financial account numbers from our clients).

·      Employee or HR related data for US-based job applicants seeking employment with Emotive.

Information we collect from, or on behalf of, our clients

We may collect information about individual consumers from our client or – at clients’ request – from their service providers. Our clients determine the scope the information transferred to us, and the information we receive may vary by client. Typically, we may collect clients’ consumers’ contact details and demographic data, shopping histories, and details about consumers’ interaction with marketing communications.

COOKIES AND OTHER INFORMATION COLLECTED BY AUTOMATED MEANS

We, our service providers, and our business partners, may collect certain information about the use of our websites by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons and other technologies. Likewise, as part of our services, we may offer our clients the ability to install these types of technologies on their websites or in the emails they send to their customers; and if a client does so, we collect information on its behalf. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor‘s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. We and our service providers and business partners may collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites when you use our websites and mobile applications. 

Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time. Please see the “Privacy Preferences, Rights and Choices” section below for information about how you may opt out of, or limit the use of, your browsing behavior for online behavioral advertising purposes. 

The information we collect by automated means varies based on whether we are collecting information for our own business purposes or whether we are collecting information from or on behalf of our customers to provide our services.

PRIVACY PREFERENCES, RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Individuals have certain rights and choices regarding Emotive’s processing of their personal information.
