By using the Services, visiting the Website, or using the App, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure, and other uses described in this Privacy Policy.
2. TYPES OF INDIVIDUALS

Collectively, we refer to the individuals, above, as collectively as “Users.” An individual may fall into more than one category of individual. For example, an individual may attend one of our sponsored events and be classified as an Attendee, and then a Site Visitor when visiting the Sites.
The terms “People.ai,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to People.ai, Inc.
3. SCOPE
This Privacy Policy applies to the Website, the App, and all subpages and successor pages found within their respective domains. The Privacy Policy applies to data that relates to the Personal Information (defined below) of the Users and the Customer Activity Data (defined below) of our Customers. The data may be collected through use of the Services; visiting the Sites; or communicating with People.ai through email, chat, or other channel.
The Privacy Policy does not apply to de-identified or aggregated Personal Information or data lawfully made available from federal, state, or local records. De-identified or aggregated data is data that does not personally identify you. An example would be, how many users have a certain postal code. The Privacy Policy does not apply to any third party website, which may be linked to from the Sites. The information collected through these third party websites are governed by the privacy policies of the respective third party websites. Please refer to your individual contracts for specifics on our data retention and deletion policy.
4. WHAT DATA WE COLLECT
4.1. Information you provide to us
When you visit our Sites or contact us, we might collect Personal Information that you voluntarily submit to us, such as through a web form, in an email, in a chat message, or other form of electronic communication. Personal Information collected in this way includes identifiers, such as your name, business address, email address, similar identifiers, commercial information, and professional or employment-related information relevant to you as an agent of your business.
4.2. Information from web technologies
When Site Visitors and Registered Users visit our Sites or use our Services various web technologies may collect information in relation to your use of the Sites. For example, we may collect browser information, device data, logs, IP addresses, the page of the Sites you request, the date and time of the request, and the time spent on the Sites or page.
The Additional Information Link
Some of the pages on the Sites may contain “cookies.” A cookie is a small data file that may be sent to your web browser and stored on your computer. This allows our server to recognize a computer when it revisits the Sites. The cookies also help People.ai analyze trends, track user movement in the site, and gather demographic information about our users as a whole.
Most web browsers can be configured to not accept cookies, or to notify you if a cookie is sent to you. You may also consider visiting aboutcookies.org, which provides helpful information about cookies. You can choose to disable cookies for the Sites but, blocking cookies may prevent or reduce the extent to which the Sites or Services can be used or customized by you. Please note that opting out of receiving cookies may not exercise your other data rights.
Some pages of the Sites (and our e-mails) may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users that visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
These web technologies may identify a device (e.g., your computer) without identifying you individually. In many instances it is not possible for us to tie together information collected about Site Visitors to an Identifiable Individual, Attendee, or Registered User. Accordingly, adjusting your browser settings to refuse cookies may not exercise your opt-out or other rights (to the extent they apply to your jurisdiction) with respect to the information we collect about you as an Identifiable Individual. Exercising your rights as an Identifiable Individual, Attendee, or Registered User you may be required to provide additional information, as described below.

You may be entitled to additional privacy notices depending on where you are located. Please see the appropriate subsection below that may apply to you.
11.1. California
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which is effective as of January 1, 2020, regulates how we handle personal information of California residents and gives California residents certain rights with respect to their personal information.
Under the CCPA, People.ai is both a “business” and a “service provider.” This subsection applies to information we collect in our role as a business. When we act as a service provider for our Customers (for example, by providing our services to another company that you interact with), we follow the processing instructions of our Customer with respect to how we process your personal information.

For each of the categories of information, above, we collect the information from a variety of sources, including directly from you, from your devices, from your social media profiles, from our Customers, and/or from third party providers.
11.1.2. Use of Personal Information
We collect this Personal Information to provide the Services; to protect the rights, privacy, and safety of the Users and Services; and to improve the Services. For example, in the last 12 months, People.ai used Personal Information for one or more of the following purposes:
11.1.2. Disclosure for a Business Purpose
People.ai may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose. When we disclose Personal Information for a business purpose to a third party, the third party must keep the Personal Information confidential and not use the Personal Information for any other purpose except the purpose for which we provided the Personal information to the third party.
In the 12 months prior to this Privacy Policy’s last update we’ve provided the following categories of Personal Information: identifiers, internet or other electronic network activity information, and geolocation data to our service providers. Our service providers provide services such as web hosting, backend infrastructure, log analysis, customer service, email and web services, security and other auditing, advertising or marketing, and similar services.
11.1.3. Disclosure for a Commercial Purpose
The CCPA broadly defines selling Personal Information as “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to a third party.” In light of this broad definition, many types of data transfers are considered a “sale” under the CCPA. In the past 12 months, we’ve disclosed Personal Information from the following categories in a manner that may be considered a sale under the CCPA: identifiers; record information; internet or other electronic network activity information; geolocation data; professional or employment-related information; and inferences. As described below, you can opt-out of our “sale” of your Personal Information.
11.1.4. Your Rights Under the CCPA
The CCPA provides individual California consumers with several individual rights with respect to Personal Information. Under the CCPA, a California consumer has the right to request:
11.1.5. Right to Opt-Out of Sales of Personal Information
You have the right to direct us not to sell your Personal Information on a going-forward basis. Please click the DO NOT SELL MY INFO link, which can also be found in the footer of our homepage.
11.1.6. Exercising your rights
To exercise these rights, please submit a request to one of our contact options:
Please be as specific as possible in relation to which right you would like to exercise. The requests can only be granted for a verifiable customer request. Please provide sufficient information about yourself so we can confirm that your request is a verifiable customer request, including at a minimum your name and email address. Once we receive your request, we will review it, determine whether we can verify your identity, and process the request accordingly. We will respond to your request within 45 days of receipt, or notify you if we require additional time. We will not respond to requests that do not include at least your name and email address. We will provide you with the Personal Information in a usable format that allows you to transmit the Personal Information to another entity.
You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. In order for us to process a request from your authorized agent, we must (i) confirm that the agent is a natural person or business entity registered with the Secretary of State that you have authorized to act on your behalf, (ii) receive from you a copy of the written authorization that provides the authorized agent to act on your behalf, and (iii) verify your identity by asking you to provide us sufficient information in order to do so.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.
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 the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
11.1.7. Non-Discrimination for exercising your rights
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of your rights under the CCPA, subject to certain limitations. Please note that we reserve the right to offer you certain financial incentives as permitted by the CCPA that may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time by contacting us.
12. DATA SECURITY
To ensure appropriate levels of security People.ai applies technical, administrative and organizational security measures to prevent against accidental or unlawful destruction and loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against other unlawful forms of processing. People.ai has undergone a Service Organization Control 2 (“SOC”) audit, and a copy of People.ai’s most recent report is available to Customers upon request from [email protected]. As of the date of this Privacy Policy, the environment which hosts People.ai’s Services maintains multiple certifications for its data centers, including SOC reports, PCI Certification, and ISO 27001 compliance.
