   NOTE:

   You may choose to use the Photomyne Apps to scan documents, which may include other categories of information than identified above or other types of data, including Sensitive Personal Information. We have no way to prevent you from doing so and if you decide to scan such documents. The documents you scan using the Photomyne App will be backed up on our servers on Amazon Web Services (“AWS”). If you later delete the documents you scanned, they will be removed from Photomyne’s back up in a few months. If these documents include information in any of the categories above, we have no way to know that this is the case. We urge you NOT to scan documents which might include Sensitive Personal Information.

   Connecting to “Google Photos”: Our Platform enables you to upload your Materials to your Google Photos account from within the Photomyne apps. To start uploading photos to Google Photos, you have to configure access to your Google Photos account first. Once you have connected to your Google Photos account and in order to upload your Materials, you will be asked to give Photomyne permission to add photos to your Google Photos account. This action does not grant Photomyne access to your existing photos at Google Photos other than the Materials uploaded through Photomyne. This is following a security protocol set by Google. To disconnect Photomyne from Google Photos, go to the ‘Settings’ window in the Photomyne Apps and click the ‘Disconnect from Google Photos’ button. Once the authorization is granted, we will also receive your full name, Gmail address and Gmail account picture which will be presented in the ‘Settings’ window in the Photomyne Apps to inform you whether or not you are connected to your Google Photos account. Furthermore, if you’re an Android user your Gmail address might be used as part of the ‘Google Sign In’ process should you decide to sign in or re- connect to your Google Photos account this way. We will not use this information for any other purpose.

3. Important Information About Sharing Your Photomyne Materials

   The Photomyne Apps offer various ways to share the Materials you scanned or uploaded. Once you have shared your Materials and other Personal Information or information with others (via various channels available through the Photomyne Apps), or submitted Materials for public use, it may be re-shared by others. You are solely responsible for your decision to share your Materials and other Personal Information with others and/or to make your Materials and other Personal Information and information visible by others. Please keep in mind that you must be legally authorized to share with others the information that does not belong to you, such as information pertaining to another person. If you are posting information of a known child under 16, you must be their parent or legal guardian.

   Your Materials, other Personal Information, and any other information that you voluntarily post on the Platform, such as through your profile, may become visible by the public on the Platform, if you choose to share such data using one of the methods described herein.

   Here is an explanation of what it means to share Materials, in terms of your privacy and your produced content.

   Posting or submitting Materials for public display:

   Posting or submitting Materials for public display through the Photomyne Apps means that you consent to and give Photomyne permission to publish such Materials (including for editorial and advertising purposes). The Materials will be public and visible to people online, outside of the Photomyne Apps. Such Materials could also find their way to strangers on the web. We have no control over how other people may interact with your published Materials (taking a screenshot, downloading the photo or other Materials, etc.). Please keep that in mind before posting or submitting such Materials or any other content for public use.

   Sharing Materials through the Photomyne Apps (generated web link):

   Choosing to share Materials through the Photomyne apps’ sharing option generates a unique web link which you can then pass on to your contacts and recipients. Anyone with that web link can have access to the Materials you shared. We have no control over how other people you shared your Materials with via the web link may interact with your content (taking a screenshot, downloading the photo or video, etc. or passing the web link on to others). This means it’s possible that your shared Materials could find their way to strangers on the web. To minimize the risk of unauthorized use of your content, the generated web link will work for a maximum of 1 year (365 days), after which it will become invalid.

   Sharing Materials by using the Photomyne Share App:

   Choosing to share Materials through the Photomyne Share App (“Photomyne Share”) generates a unique code which you can then pass on to your contacts and recipients. Anyone with that code can have access to the Materials you shared through Photomyne Share. We have no control over how other people you shared your Materials with via Photomyne Share may interact with your content (taking a screenshot, downloading the photo or video, etc. or passing the code on to others). This means it’s possible that your shared Materials could find their way to strangers on the web. To minimize the risk of unauthorized use of your content, the generated unique code will work for a maximum of 24 hours, after which it will become invalid.

4. Categories of Sources from Which We Collect Personal Information

   We obtain the categories of Personal Information listed above from the following categories of sources:

   • Directly from you or your representatives. For example, information that our customers provide to us related to a transaction or Material that our customers scan with the Apps or upload to the Apps.

   • Our vendors. For example, if you interact with Apple, Google, or any other platform or social media account while using our services, we may receive information from your account, including your name, profile picture, email address, and any information defined as public pursuant to the policies of such platforms.

5. Business and Commercial Purposes of Collecting Personal Information From Consumers

An IP address is a numeric code that identifies your device on a network, or in this case, the Internet. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information.

1. Lawful Basis for Processing Personal Information

   We will only collect and process Personal Information about you where we have lawful basis. We rely on the following legal grounds:

   For the fulfilment of contractual obligations. Mainly, in order to provide you with the services, information or support that you request from us.

   For the pursuit of our legitimate interests. To the extent necessary, we may process your Personal Information beyond the performance of the actual services, in order to protect the legitimate interests of Photomyne or third parties. This includes our commercial interests, including our interest in improving the Platform and protecting the security and integrity of the Platform and internal record keeping.

   Due to legal obligation. We may be obligated to process some of your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

   Based on your consent. We recognize that your Personal Information belongs to you, and you have the right to control how it is used. Therefore, we rely on your freely given, informed, and explicit consent as the lawful basis for processing your Personal Information.

   When you provide your consent, you are granting us permission to process your Personal Information for specific purposes that are set forth in our Privacy Policy and clearly explained to you at the time of data collection. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Here are some key points to understand about consent as the basis for processing Personal Information:

   • Voluntary Consent: Your consent is entirely voluntary, and you are not obligated to provide it. If you choose not to consent or withdraw your consent, it may limit our ability to provide certain services or engage with you in specific ways.
   • Informed Consent: We will provide you with clear and accessible information about the processing activities that require your consent. This information will include the purposes of processing, the types of data involved, and the duration for which your consent is valid.
   • No Pre-Ticked Boxes: We will not use pre-ticked boxes or other default settings that assume your consent. You will actively and affirmatively provide consent through a clear and unambiguous action, such as ticking a box, clicking a button, or signing a consent form.
   • Withdrawal of Consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

   Where you have given consent and to the extent that you have not subsequently objected to the use of your data within this context, we will use your Personal Information for advertising and marketing activities. For further information please see the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section of this Policy and our Cookie Policy.

   If you have any questions about the lawful basis upon which we collect and use your Personal Information, please contact our Data Protection Officer at support@photomyne.com.

   We process your Personal Information only for specific and limited purposes, including the provision of the services that you request of us through the Platform. We ask only for Personal Information that is adequate, relevant and not excessive for such purposes. The specific purposes of the different types of Personal Information collected are listed the Section “Business and Commercial Purposes of Collecting Personal Information from Consumers”.

2. European Residents’ Rights and Choices

   This section describes your privacy rights if you live in the European Union and how to exercise those rights.

Before we provide a substantive response to your request for information, we will verify your identity to make certain you are who you say you are. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your written request.

   We will not disclose in response to an access request your account password, or biometric identifiers. We will, however, inform you or your representative with sufficient particularity if we have collected that type of information.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, permanently and completely erasing your Personal Information from our existing systems, except from archive or backup systems, or de-identifying the Personal Information such that it cannot reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to you. Under certain circumstances, we may be forced to object to your request to erase, such as when we are under a legal obligation to maintain your Personal Information. If such circumstances apply to your request, we will advise you in writing in response to your request. Please keep in mind that once you request to exercise your Right to be Forgotten with regard to your use of the Photomyne Apps, any deleted content and/or information will not be retrievable. Please also note that we are required by law to keep a record of your request and our response to it.

Your privacy is important to us, and we are dedicated to assisting you in understanding and exercising your privacy rights.

BIOMETRIC DATA POLICY

1. Definitions:

   1. As used in this policy, “biometric data” includes both “biometric identifiers” and “biometric information” as defined in the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS § 14/1 to 14/99, and elsewhere. In addition to Illinois, there are other states with biometric laws, such as Texas and Washington, along with states with comprehensive data privacy laws that address the handling of biometric data or information. This policy is designed to be as broad as possible to cover the allowable uses and restrictions in each of the individual jurisdictions.
   2. “Biometric identifier” is defined to include a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or record of scan of hand or face geometry. However, biometric identifiers do not include writing samples, written signatures, photographs, demographic data, tattoo descriptions, or physical descriptions such as height, weight, hair color, or eye color. Other laws may provide for additional modes of identification and additional exceptions from the definition of “biometric identifier” or “biometric information.”
   3. “Biometric information” means any information, regardless of how it is captured, converted, stored, or shared, based on an individual’s biometric identifier used to identify an individual. Biometric information does not include information derived from items or procedures excluded under the definition of biometric identifiers.

2. Purpose for Collection of Biometric Data

   Photomyne and/or our service providers pursuant to appropriate data sharing agreements, may collect, store, and use biometric data solely for the purpose of providing you with the Services that you choose to use. To provide some of the features, Photomyne uses generative AI and models that are trained on content (which may include images or voice recordings) that you provide. Generative AI may process biometric data. Photomyne does NOT use biometric data to identify you or any individual.

3. Disclosure

   Photomyne will not disclose or disseminate biometric data to anyone other than its service providers that process biometric data on behalf of Photomyne in furtherance of Photomyne’s services to its users unless:

   1. We obtain your (and/or the legally authorized representative of the individual’s whose data is to be processed) consent to such disclosure or dissemination;
   2. The disclosed data completes a transaction that you requested or authorized;
   3. Disclosure is required by state or federal law or municipal ordinance; or
   4. Disclosure is required pursuant to a valid warrant or subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

   Service providers who assist Photomyne with its processes, including but not limited to the maintenance of servers, disposal or recycling of equipment, shall also be encompassed within Photomyne’s authorized recipients and holders of biometric data provided that a valid data sharing agreement is in place with each such vendor.

4. Data Retention Schedule

   Photomyne, and its service providers, retain biometric data only for as long as necessary to provide the Services for which the data is processed, collected, stored, or used. Normally, Photomyne deletes biometric data, and any generative models created using biometric data, within 30 days. In any event, in the absence of an overriding legal duty to retain the data, biometric data is permanently destroyed when the purpose for collecting the data has been satisfied, and not later than the first anniversary of the date the purpose for collecting data expires, or within three years of your last interaction with Photomyne, whichever occurs first.

5. Data Storage

   Photomyne shall use reasonable security measures to store, transmit and protect from unauthorized disclosure all biometric data collected under this policy. Such storage, transmission, and protection from disclosure shall be performed in a manner that is the same as or more protective than the manner in which Photomyne stores, transmits and protects from disclosure other confidential and sensitive information, including Personal Information, that can be used to uniquely identify an individual or an individual’s account or property, such as financial account numbers. Photomyne also has internal procedures for responding to security incidents and providing notices if required by law.

6. Consent

   Photomyne will collect your biometric data only with your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time through the App’s settings (“Biometric information policy consent”).

MANAGING YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by Email: support@photomyne.com.

Please mention the right you seek to exercise (example, Right to be Forgotten) in the email message’s subject field or in the subject of your letter. Please also advise us which state or country you are a resident of.

You may also submit your request by opening a Photomyne app’s side-menu and selecting Help & Support; and Email us. In your message, please mention the right you seek to exercise (example, Right to be Forgotten) in the message’s subject field.

You may be limited in the number of verifiable consumer requests for access or data portability in any given 12-month period (for example, twice per 12-month period for California residents).

The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or a legally authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
• Before responding to your privacy rights request, we must verify your identity. We will do so by matching at least two reliable data points from your request to the information that we maintain about you. For certain more sensitive Personal Information, we may require further verification, including obtaining the consumer’s signed declaration under penalty of perjury to further confirm that the requestor is the consumer. Once you contact us to exercise your rights, we will further guide you as to our verification process. However, please note that we will not verify your identity where not permitted under privacy laws, such as for opt-out of sale or sharing or limit use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information rights under certain privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Under certain circumstances, we may deny your request for the reasons permitted by the applicable law, which we will specifically identify for you.

Appeal Process: You have the right to appeal our denial of a rights request. If you would like to appeal a denial of a rights request, please contact us via email at support@photomyne.com. Photomyne will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to an appeal not later than the 60th day after the date of receipt of the appeal, including a written explanation of the reason or reasons for the decision. If you remain unsatisfied with the resolution of your appeal, you can file a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General in your State of residence (for U.S. residents). In our appeal response, we will provide you with the information on how a complaint may be filed with the Office of the Attorney General of your State of residence.

If you are a United Kingdom or a European Union resident and remain unhappy with a response you receive from Photomyne, you have a right to contact your data protection supervisory authority (see https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/article29/items/612080 for Europe, or https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint for the United Kingdom).

Authorized Agents

Only you or a person that you or your employer authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may use an authorized agent to submit a privacy rights request on your behalf if you provide the authorized agent a written permission signed by you or give the authorized agent power of attorney. We may also require you to do either of the following, unless the authorized agent provides power of attorney documentation:

1. Verify your own identity directly with us.
2. Directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

We may deny a request from an authorized agent if the agent cannot or does not provide to us your signed permission demonstrating that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf or if you do not confirm to us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

The requirement to obtain and provide written permission from the consumer does not apply to requests made by an opt-out preference signal.

Response Timing and Format

We will acknowledge your request no later than ten (10) business days after receiving your request to delete, request to correct, or request to know and provide information about how we will process the request. The information provided shall describe in general our verification process and when you should expect a response, except in instances where we have already granted or denied the request.

We shall respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 calendar days of its receipt. If you are a European Resident, we will respond within 30 days of receiving your written request. If we require more time (up to 90 days, unless a different time period is allowed by law), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by email. For California residents, any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt, unless you request us to provide Personal Information beyond the 12-month period, as long as it was collected on or after January 1, 2022. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

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. For example, in cases where requests from a consumer are distinctly unsubstantiated or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee, in our discretion, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested; or refuse to act on the request altogether.

GLOBAL OPT OUT PREFERENCE SIGNAL

We honor opt-out preference signals. An opt-out preference signal is a signal that is sent by a platform, technology or mechanism on your behalf that communicates your choice to opt-out of the sharing for targeted advertisements or sale of your personal information. You can learn more about implementing opt-out preference signals here or by exploring other developing technologies and services that offer this tool.

We treat opt-out preference signals as valid requests to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information under privacy laws. Ordinarily, your opt-out preference signal is sufficient for us to honor your request, but in some instances we may request additional information to help facilitate your request for offline sales or sharing. We will not use, disclose or retain this additional information for any purpose other than to facilitate the request.

However, while we honor opt-out preference signals, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” requests because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret such signals.

KEEPING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE

Photomyne has reasonable technical, physical and administrative security measures in place to prevent Personal Information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. These measures offer appropriate reasonable security level, taking into account the state of the technology, the implementation costs and also the nature, the scale, the context and the processing purposes. We limit access to your Personal Information to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. The measures are also intended to prevent unnecessary collection and further processing of Personal Information. The Personal Information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential. We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

Links to other sites and applications may be provided by us as a convenience to our users. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, or the content of other sites and applications and you visit them at your own risk. We recommend you to carefully read the terms of use and privacy policies of such sites and applications. This Privacy Policy applies solely to Personal Information collected by us.

DISCLAIMER/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR DATA INPUT ERRORS

Photomyne is not responsible for any errors that are made by you in inputting data, nor for data entered by someone using your credentials. PLEASE SECURE YOUR CREDENTIALS AND DO NOT DISCLOSE THEM TO ANYONE ELSE. If your credentials are compromised, please notify us at support@photomyne.com.

Under no circumstances shall Photomyne be liable to you, including but not limited to any liability for the system not being available for use, for lost or corrupted data, for errors in the documentation provided to you, if any, or for the failure of data archiving. Please keep track of your own time in case of a system malfunction. Except as expressly agreed with our client, Photomyne will not be liable for any consequential, special, indirect, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any third party.

We reserve the right to amend this Policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make significant changes to this Policy, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our websites’ homepages and/or our Apps. You will also be able to determine the date that our current Policy has become effective, by viewing the Effective Date at the top of this document.
