2.   How We Disclose Personal Information

We may share your Personal Information with third parties for our legitimate business purposes, including:

·       Service Providers. FD AI & Tech Solutions shares Personal Information collected through the Service with third-party service providers who act for or on behalf of FD AI & Tech Solutions. For example, we may use third-party vendors to design, operate, and/or host the Service, to conduct surveys, to send emails and manage email campaigns, send push notifications through our App and to help us with our promotional efforts. These third parties may need information about you to perform their functions.

·       Business Partners. From time to time, we may share your Personal Information with selected third party business partners (other than our service providers) who perform certain professional services. For example, we may share information about you to process payments, prevent fraud, or to perform audits. We may also may partner with joint marketing partners with whom we must disclose Personal Information to administer services. For example, we partner with third parties to sponsor contests or other promotions, and we may share with these third parties the Personal Information you submit to us to participate in the contest or take advantage of the promotion. Before doing so, however, we may offer you the opportunity to “opt in” as required by applicable law. In some cases, you will not be able to participate in a contest or take advantage of a promotion unless you consent to disclosure to our business partner of the Personal Information you submit in connection with the contest or promotion.

·    Other Parties.  We may share the information collected through the Service with our affiliates, manufacturers and licensors (collectively “Other Parties”). Our Other Parties may use the information in all the ways listed in this Policy, provided that such use relates to services authorized by FD AI & Tech Solutions.

·       With Your Consent. When you submit User Generated Content on or through the Service you are consenting to making such content available to others who visit the Service and for FD AI & Tech Solutions to use the content for any purpose consistent with this Privacy Policy or any other notice provided at the time of your submission. Any Personal Information contained in User Generated Content you submit can be read, collected, or used by others. If we use your User Generated Content, we may or may not use your name in connection with such use, and we may or may not seek your consent before using the content for those purposes. You should not submit any content you do not wish to make available to the general public, and you must take special care to make sure your submissions comply with our Terms of Use. In particular, your submissions must not violate the privacy or other rights of others.

·       To Comply with Laws and Protection of our Rights and the Rights of Others. We may disclose your Personal Information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order or a subpoena. We may also disclose your Personal Information to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect the security of the Service; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or other agreements; or to protect our own rights or property or the rights, property or safety of our users or others.

·       Social Media Platforms. We may provide functionality on the Service that allows you to post information to a third-party social media platform (such as Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest). If you choose to take advantage of this functionality, people with access to your profile on the third-party platform will be able to see your post. Further, if you choose to link your profile on the Service with an account on a third-party social media platform, we may share the information in your profile with that third-party platform. We may also use third-party social media platforms to offer you interest-based ads. To offer such ads, we may convert your email address into a unique value which can be matched by our partner company with a user on their platform. Although we do not provide any Personal Information to these platform vendors, they may gain insights about individuals who respond to the ads we serve.

·       Ad Servers. Where permitted by law, and this Policy, we may share your personal data with our marketing and advertising partners, such as advertising, direct marketing, and lead generation providers, social media advertising partners, or other targeted advertising platforms.

​

3.   Cookie Policy

Like most companies, FD AI & Tech Solutions uses cookies and/or similar technologies to collect information about a user’s use of our platforms automatically through the use of tracking technologies, such as cookies and pixels. Please note, we will refer to all tracking technologies as “cookies” throughout this policy. This section is meant to help you understand what tracking technologies FD AI & Tech Solutions uses, the purposes for which we use tracking technologies, and the purposes for which we may allow third parties to place their tracking technologies on our platforms and when.

• Cookies – a "cookie" is a small text file that websites send to your computer, device, or other internet-connected tool you are using that contains data used by the website for its business purposes. Cookies can be stored on your device for months, but you can choose to delete cookies stored on your device at any time through your browser settings.

• Web Beacons – a "web beacon" or "pixel" is a tag used on a web browser or HTML email that records your activities when viewing the web page or email it is placed on. FD AI & Tech Solutions uses web beacons to assist us in monitoring and improving our Services and communications.   We may also allow some third parties to place web beacons on our platforms or in our communications. Because web beacons are imbedded in the platforms or communications, they are not stored on your device and will stop tracking you once you navigate away from our platforms.

 

A.      How are Cookies Classified?

         Cookies are classified by their purpose (their primary function on the website). We classify our third party cookies into the following categories:

• Essential – These cookies are required for the website to function. You cannot disable these.

• Targeted Advertising - Used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. May also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

• Personalization - Allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, a website may provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing data about your general location.

• Analytics - Help the us understand how its website performs, how visitors interact with the site, and whether there may be technical issues.

 

B.      How FD AI & Tech Solutions Uses Cookies

In general, we use tracking technologies to:

·       Collect information about the ways visitors use the Service—which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;

·       Support the features and functionality of the Service—for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits; and

·       Personalize your experience when you use the Service—for example, serving relevant advertisements or re-targeting you via third party ad servers based on your interactions with us. For more information about the use of third-party cookies and advertising, see below.

The information we collect using these tracking technologies masks your identity. If, however, you have created a user account, we may link the information we collect using these web technologies to other information that identifies you personally.

 Third Party Analytics Tools.  FD AI & Tech Solutions uses third party analytics tools to collect information about your usage of our platforms. This information is collected and provided to FD AI & Tech Solutions in aggregate form only, meaning your information is combined with that of all other users and stripped of all identifiers in order to provide us with insights about how people find our platforms, how they use our platforms, and determine how effective our marketing is. Some third party analytics tools allow you to control your privacy preferences across all the websites by allowing you to download an extension for your browser to enable you to make global privacy choices with them.  

 Global Privacy Controls:  Some browsers allow you to turn on Global Privacy Controls or Do Not Track signals (DNTs), which sends a signal to the websites you visit telling those sites that you do not wish to allow third-party cookies. There is no standard technology at this time for companies to receive these signals. Our websites do not currently consistently respond to DNTs received from web browsers.

​​

​

4.   De-Identified And Aggregate Information

We may de-identify and aggregate data for our business purposes, including but not limited to, to improve the products and features of our Services, to maintain the security and integrity of our systems, for analytics, and other legitimate business purposes. "De-identified data" means information that cannot reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to a particular data subject.  Where we process de-identified data, we commit to maintain and use the information in de-identified form and not attempt to reidentify the information, except where permitted by law. We may disclose de-identified data to third parties who commit themselves to maintaining the de-identified data in de-identified form and not attempt to re-identify the data for any business purpose. We also may provide aggregate data to third parties. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of users of our website and the activities they conduct while on our website.

​

​

 5.   Your Rights and Choices

If you are a resident of a state with a consumer data protection law, you may have certain rights over how we use your Personal Information.  We accommodate requests which meet legal and regulatory requirements and do not risk making our other data less secure or changing our other data. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

·       Right to access — The right for a consumer to access from a business/data controller the information or categories of information collected about a consumer, the information or categories of information shared with third parties, or the specific third parties or categories of third parties to which the information was shared; or, some combination of similar information.

·       Right to delete — The right for a consumer to request deletion of Personal Information about the consumer under certain conditions.

·       Right against automated decision making — A prohibition against a business making decisions about a consumer based solely on an automated process without human input. We do not engage in automated decision making.

·       Right to appeal — where a controller declines to take action regarding a consumer's request to exercise any privacy right, the controller must allow the consumer to appeal the decision and provide instructions on how they may request an appeal.

 

A.      How to make a Request and What to Expect

You can submit a request to us via our Contact Us section. We may ask for your name, phone number you use with us, email and the privacy right you would like to exercise when you make the request.

Responding to Requests

Your request will be evaluated to determine whether it meets the legal and regulatory requirements under applicable law, and does not risk compromising our other data or the Personal Information of other individuals.

Verification Process

In order to protect your information, we may need to confirm a requestor’s identity before responding to the request. We will ask a few questions in order to confirm your identity.

Before sending a verification response, please double-check the email address. If you receive an email that appears to be from us but is not from our verification email address listed above, do not respond.

Any information we gather through this process will only be used for consumer verification, security procedures, or fraud-prevention. We will delete any verification information as soon as practical after processing your request.

​

​

6.   Steps We Take to Safeguard your Personal Information

We maintain reasonable administrative, physical and technological measures to protect the confidentiality and security of Personal Information you submit on or through the Service. Unfortunately, no website, server or database is completely secure or “hacker proof.” Likewise, although we use reasonable efforts to secure such information, transmission via the Internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to us through the Service. We therefore cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will not be disclosed, misused or lost by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others. Further, we cannot control dissemination of Personal Information contained in User Generated Content you post on or through the Service, and you should have no expectation of privacy in such information.

 

​

7.   Children’s Online Privacy

The Service is not intended for children or minors under the age of sixteen (16) years. If you believe that a child has submitted Personal Information on or through the Service without the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section so that we can take appropriate action. We do not knowingly sell or share (as those terms are defined under applicable law) the Policy of minors under the age of sixteen (16) years.

 

​

8.   Information for Users Outside the United States

If you use the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that information we collect through the Service may be transferred to and stored on our servers in the United States. By using the Service, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer and processing of your personal data in the United States as described in this Privacy Policy. The data protection laws and regulations applicable to your Personal Information transferred to the United States may be different from the laws in your country of residence.

 

​

9. Personal Information Retention

We retain Personal Information pursuant to this Policy for the duration of our relationship with you, or for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, whichever is longer.  To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements for retaining Personal Information. 

 

​

10. Links to Third Party Sites

Our websites may include links to other websites for your convenience and information. Those linked websites may be operated by unaffiliated entities, and may have their own privacy policies or notices. If you link to other websites, please review the privacy policies posted on those sites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of websites that we do not control.

 

​

11. Updates to the Policy

This Policy describes FD AI & Tech Solutions’ current policies and practices with regard to the Personal Information we collect as outlined herein. We are continually improving and adding to the features and functionality of the Service and the services we offer through the Service. As a result of these changes (or changes in the law), we may need to update or revise this Policy. Accordingly, we reserve the right to update or modify this Policy at any time, with or without prior notice, by posting the revised version of this Policy behind the link marked “Privacy Policy” in the universal footer of the websites governed by this Policy and by making it available through the App governed by this Policy.
