What types of personal data do you process?

We process different personal data depending on the context, for example, who you are, what relationship we have with you, what you have decided to share with us, and when (as explained in the next section). Here are some typical categories of personal data we process:
‍

Contact, account and profile data: Data about you, your account and profile, including first and last name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, profile picture, preferences and if you are an affiliate/premium partner. If you are a customer, this could also include your address.

We also leverage tools such as Heap for additional analytics.

Third-Party Data Collection and Online Advertising

We participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies and other third-party services, to collect information about your use of our online services over time so that they may play or display ads on our Services, on other websites or services you may use, and on other devices you may use. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including click stream information, browser type, time and date you visited the Sites, AdID, precise geolocation and other information. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. We may also use services provided by third parties (such as social media platforms) to serve targeted ads to you and others on such platforms. We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider. Please see the “Control Over Your Information” section below, to learn how you can opt out of interest-based advertising.
‍

Social Media Widgets and Advertising.  Our Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter or other widgets. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to our Services, and they may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies.
‍

We display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and other social media forums. These companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our services while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics. We may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed email address, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our website visitors through a first-party pixel, in order to direct targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience on the social media platform. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them. If you do not want to receive targeted ads on your social networks, you may be able to adjust your advertising preferences through your settings on those networks.
‍
Third Party Partners.  We work with a variety of third-party partners to provide advertising services. For example, we use Google Analytics to recognize you and link the devices you use when you visit our Services on your browser or mobile device, log in to your account on our Services, or otherwise engage with us.  We share a unique identifier, like a user ID or hashed email address, with Google to facilitate the service. Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our users interact with our Services and to tailor our advertisements and content to you.  For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google's website, “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Ad-On here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
‍

We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Services.  You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at  https://google.com/ads/preferences, or by visiting NAI’s online resources at  http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

‍

When you communicate with us

Depending on how we communicate with one another (which could be via email, phone, our website (including website forms and chat functionality) or on social media), we process your name, contact details, and other information you choose to send to us (like the content of your message). If you contact us online, we also process your IP address and metadata.

‍

Sharing your personal data in any of these situations is completely voluntary. Please see the “Control Over Your Information” section below for more information on how to opt out of our newsletter or marketing communications.

‍

Information for individuals based in the EEA (GDPR) and UK (UK GDPR)

If you are based in the EEA, which includes the EU member states and the EEA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and the UK, this section applies solely to you. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all terms in this section have the same meaning as defined in this Policy or as otherwise defined in the GDPR or UK GDPR.
‍

Since we are an American company headquartered in the United States, your personal data will be transferred outside the EEA and UK, for example, where we use processors to manage payments and transactional emails. When you enter into an agreement with us (for example, if you become our customer), you accept this transfer of your personal data.
‍

As part of our privacy efforts, we strive to select our vendors and partners carefully, and try to assess their business overall (for example, their business reputation and security measures), to check for prior data breaches, to inquire about their data protection compliance and legal documents. 
‍

Further, we check whether a country outside the EEA or UK (as applicable) offers an adequate level of data protection (has obtained an adequacy decision from the competent authority) or, if this is not the case, that an alternative transfer mechanism is in place (like the standard contractual clauses (“SCC”, also called Model Clauses) for the international transfer of personal data. Should you have any questions regarding our implementation of appropriate safeguards in connection with our international transfers of data (or require a copy of the relevant safeguards), you may contact privacy@banzai.io. 
‍

Finally, we have appointed a Data Protection Officer. Please refer to the top of this Policy for contact details.

‍

Privacy Shield certification and compliance

Despite the invalidation of the EU-U.S. framework in the Schrems II ruling, Demio opted to renew the certification and is still subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission. Further, Demio participates in the VeraSafe Privacy Shield Dispute Resolution Procedure. Subject to these terms, VeraSafe will provide appropriate recourse free of charge to you.
