2. Information Collection

A. Information You Provide.
We collect information about you when you use the Service, including information you provide when you schedule a product demonstration or apply for a job. The categories of information we collect include:

• Contact Data, including your first and last name, company name, email address, and postal address.

• Account Credentials, including your password and password hints.

• Job Applicant Data, including your employment and education history, transcript, writing samples, and references as necessary to consider your job application for open positions.

You may choose to voluntarily provide other information to us that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information. 

B. Information Collected Automatically.
In addition, we automatically collect information when you use the Service. The categories of information we automatically collect include:

• Service Use Data, including data about features you use, pages you visit, emails you view, services you view, the time of day you browse, and your referring and exiting pages.

• Device Data, including data about the type of device or browser you use, your device’s operating software, your internet service provider, your device’s regional and language settings, and device identifiers such as IP address.

• Location Data, including non-precise location data (such as location derived from an IP address or data that indicates a city or postal code level).

The types of tracking technologies we use to automatically collect this information include:

• Cookies, which are small data files stored on your browser that save data about your visit. Cookies often include a unique identifier (e.g., cookie #123). We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate our website and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, and supporting security features. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and expire on a set expiration date or when they are deleted manually. 

• Pixels (also known as web beacons), which is code embedded in a service that sends information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a service that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or a separate entity to drop or read cookies on your browser, or collect other information about your visit. 

• Device Fingerprinting, which is the process of analyzing and combining sets of data elements from your device’s browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, to create a “fingerprint” of your device and uniquely identify your browser and device.

We may also use tracking technologies on behalf of our brand clients for personalized advertising purposes. Information regarding such data collection and choice is available in the applicable brand client’s privacy policy, and is not governed by this privacy policy.

For further information on how we use tracking technologies for analytics, and your rights and choices regarding them, see the “Analytics” and “Your Rights and Choices” sections below.

​

C. Information from Our Brand Clients.
We provide products and services to our brand clients, and collect and process information about individuals (including through tracking technologies) at the direction of our brand clients (“brand client data”). Brand client data has historically included contact data, service use data, device data, and location data, among other information. Our processing of brand client data is governed by the terms of our service agreements with our brand clients, and not this Privacy Policy. In the event we are permitted to process brand client data for our own purposes, we will process the brand client data in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for how our brand clients treat the information we collect on their behalf, and we recommend you review their own privacy policies.

7. Your Rights and Choices

In addition to the rights and choices below, you may have additional rights based on your jurisdiction. Please click the relevant link at the top of this Privacy Policy or visit the applicable section below for more information.

A. Tracking Technology Management.

If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to instruct each browser separately. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

• Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Please be aware that if you disable or remove tracking technologies some parts of the Service may not function correctly.

We will delete the personal information in accordance with COPPA.

​

9. Data Security.

We implement and maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

15. European Economic Area, Switzerland & United Kingdom.

The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) provides additional rights to individuals located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, (collectively, “Europe”). This section addresses those rights and applies only to those individuals.

A. Roles.
Data protection laws in the distinguish between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as “controllers”) and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as “processors”). gen.video acts as a controller with respect to personal data collected as you interact with our Service. In some instances, gen.video acts a processor on behalf of a brand client, which is the controller. Any questions that you have relating to the processing of personal data by gen.video as a processor should be directed to the relevant brand client.

B. Lawful Basis for Processing.
Data protection laws in Europe require a “lawful basis” for processing personal data. Our lawful bases include where: (a) you have given consent to the processing for one or more specific purposes, either to us or to our service providers, partners, or brand clients; (b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you; (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or (d) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party, and your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests. Where applicable, we will transfer your personal data to third countries subject to appropriate or suitable safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.

C. Your Rights.
You have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we have collected about you. You also have the right to data portability and the right to restrict or object to our processing of personal data we have collected about you. In addition, you have the right to ask us not to process your personal data (or provide it to third parties to process) for marketing purposes or purposes materially different than for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any data processing we do based on consent you have provided to us.

​

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set out in the “Contact Us” section above and specify which right you are seeking to exercise. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
