Privacy Policy

Introduction

Protecting consumer privacy is important to bSeen LLC (bSeen, "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and disclose information about you. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our website, including https://bseentalent.com, and our mobile application (the "Services"). This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by any third party through any content that may link or be accessible from or on the Services. Such third-party services include, without limitation, GetStream.io, Google Maps, and Auth0, which are governed by their own privacy policies and practices.

bSeen is based in the United States and the information we collect is governed by United States law. By accessing or using our Services or otherwise providing information to us, you consent to the processing and transfer of information in and to the US. We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to our Services or by sending you a notification). You should review the Privacy Policy whenever you access our Services to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

This Privacy Policy aims to clearly outline our policies and procedures for collecting, using, storing and disclosing personal data of individuals. All the different forms of data, content, and information described in this Privacy Policy are collectively referred to as "personal data". For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "personal data" means any information about an identifiable individual. Personal data excludes anonymous or de-identified data that is not associated with a particular individual.

By using our Services, you agree to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with such collection, use and disclosure of your personal data, please do not use our Services.

Our Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. No one under age 13 may provide any personal data to or on the Services. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on our Services. If we learn we have collected or received personal data from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at support@bseentalent.com.

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Services.

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal data:

• To present our Services and their contents to you.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Where appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws and requirements, we may disclose your personal data:

• To trusted third-party companies and individuals to help us provide, analyze, and improve our Services (including but not limited to data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improving the features of the Services). These third parties may have access to your personal data only for purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf and under obligations similar to those in this Privacy Policy.

How We Safeguard Your Personal Data

We are committed to taking all commercially reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the personal data that we hold from misuse, loss, destruction or unauthorized access. We do this by having in place a range of appropriate technical and organizational measures. These include measures to deal with any suspected data breach.

However, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a username and password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this username and password confidential. We ask you not to share your username or password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure. Although bSeen does its best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted through our Services. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

We will not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which we have collected it unless we believe that the law or other regulation requires us to preserve it (for example, because of a request by a tax authority or in connection with any anticipated litigation) or if we require it to enforce our agreements.

When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal data, we will delete the personal data that we hold about you from our systems. While we will endeavor to permanently erase your personal data once it reaches the end of its retention period, some of your personal data may still exist within our systems, for example if it is waiting to be overwritten. For our purposes, this data has been put beyond use, meaning that, while it still exists in the electronic ether, our employees will not have any access to it or use it again.

Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Data

You have various rights in relation to the personal data that we hold about you. You may send us an email at support@bseentalent.com to request access to, correct, or delete any personal data that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change personal data if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the personal data to be incorrect.

Your State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residency, you may have certain rights related to your personal data, including:

• You may confirm whether we process your personal data and access a copy of the personal data we process. To the extent feasible and required by state law, depending on your state, data will be provided in a portable format. Depending on your state, you may have the right to receive additional information, and it will be included in the response to your access request.
• You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your personal data that we maintain, considering the information's nature and processing purpose.
• You may request that we delete personal data about you that we maintain, subject to certain exception under applicable law.
• You may request that we do not use your personal data for these purposes.

Important: The exact scope of these rights vary by state. There are also several exceptions where we may not have an obligation to fulfill your request.

To exercise any of these rights, please send us an email at support@bseentalent.com.
