Personal Data

Personal Data refers to any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. Personal Data falls within certain categories, for example:

  • Identifiers (e.g., name, email, telephone number, address, username);
  • Sensitive Personal Data (e.g., government identification number; precise geolocation; racial or ethnic origin; religious beliefs; health information; contents of messages when we are not the recipient; in some cases, information about a known child);
  • Legally protected information (e.g., race, citizenship, marital status, sex);
  • Employment-related information (e.g., current or past employment);
  • Non-public educational information, including information protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. § 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99);
  • Biometrics (e.g., DNA, face/voice prints, health data) and audio, electronic, visual, thermal, or olfactory information;
  • Inferences drawn from Personal Data to create a profile about preferences, characteristics, trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, and aptitudes;
  • Commercial information (e.g., products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies); and
  • Internet or other similar activity (e.g., browsing history; content interactions).

Not all information is protected as Personal Data, for example: publicly available information; aggregated information (meaning data summaries or reports with Personal Data removed); and anonymized information that cannot be linked back to an individual.

 

Collection and Processing

SpectivLabs will only collect, use, retain, and disclose Personal Data as is adequate and relevant to the specific, express purposes described below or as reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide our App or for other purposes that we disclose to you and are compatible with the context of how we collected your Personal Data.

We collect and process Personal Data with your consent as informed by this Privacy Notice and freely given at the time you provide the information, in fulfillment of contractual obligations to third-party affiliates that incorporate our App into their platform or services (“Affiliates”) for your use, to achieve another legitimate interest, or as authorized or required by law.

In the preceding 12 months, we have collected identifiers, commercial information, location information, and internet and similar information from these sources:

  • Your Use of the App. When you use the App, we will collect commercial information related to the coupons you clip and use, products you view and purchase, and stated consumer preferences. With your consent, the App will also collect your location to effectively match you with local retail offers. We may also collect internet and similar information such as your device ID and details, browser information, and content interactions.
  • Our Affiliates. You might use our App incorporated into a platform or service offered by our third-party affiliate (Affiliate”). We collect your phone number from the Affiliate to send you a one-time SMS passcode for authentication and fraud prevention purposes.

SpectivLabs uses your Personal Data to provide you with our App, for our internal business purposes, and to:

  • Fulfill any purpose to which you consent.
  • Monitor your compliance with our agreements and policies.
  • Help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our technology assets.
  • Conduct internal testing, research, analysis, and product development, including to develop and improve our content and offerings.
  • Respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
  • Identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to you, to SpectivLabs, or to others as we determine necessary.
  • Evaluate or conduct a business transition involving some or all of our company assets where Personal Data held by SpectivLabs is among the assets transferred.

We will not collect additional categories of Personal Data or use already collected Personal Data for purposes that are materially different, unrelated or not reasonably necessary or compatible with the original purpose without notice and consent to you as required by law.

 

Children’s Data

The App is designed for adults, not children. No individual under the age of 18 should attempt to use the App or provide any Personal Data to SpectivLabs. If we learn we have collected or received Personal Data from a child under 18, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact [email protected].

 

Data Retention

SpectivLabs retains Personal Data for the minimum period necessary to provide our App or achieve our business goals. Data is retained by the SpectivLabs as long as the data is useful to make the App experience functional for the user. Any data not needed to support App functionality is deleted within 12 months of collection. SpectivLabs securely deletes data at the conclusion of the applicable retention period. SpectivLabs reserves the right to retain data for longer periods as required by law or court order or if doing so is critical to our business.

  • Law enforcement, and other governmental agencies, as permitted or required by law.
  • Other third parties, as permitted by applicable law, for example: if we go through a business transition (e.g., merger, acquisition, or sale of a portion of our assets); to comply with a legal requirement or a court order; when we believe it is appropriate in order to take action regarding illegal activities or prevent fraud or harm to any person; to exercise or defend our legal claims; or for any other reason with your consent.

U.S. Consumer Privacy Rights

In the United States, consumer privacy is governed by federal privacy laws covering specific industries or data uses and state privacy laws providing with general consumer privacy rights. This section provides informational notices for privacy laws in states like California, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Utah, Virginia, and other states that require companies to inform consumers about their privacy rights and provide a method to exercise those rights. Residents of states offering privacy protections (each a “Consumer”) can exercise their privacy rights to the extent those laws apply to SpectivLabs and the App.

If you submit an access request, we will provide you with copies of the requested pieces of Personal Data in a portable and readily usable format.

If this ever changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice and provide you with methods to opt-out or limit our use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Data.
  • No Selling or Sharing. Some states entitle consumers to opt-out of the sale or sharing of Personal Data or targeted advertising practices. SpectivLabs does not sell your Personal Data or share your Personal Data with third parties for cross-contextual behavioral advertising purposes. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice and provide you with a method to opt-out.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Profiling. You have the right to opt-out of automated profiling. SpectivLabs may process your Personal Data to evaluate, analyze, or predict your interests and preferences. This processing is essential for the core functionality of the App. We never use automated profiling to produce significant effects that concern you. If you wish to prevent this type of processing, please discontinue use of the App or submit a Privacy Request.
  • Right to Nondiscrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights. For example, unless permitted by law we will not: (a) deny you goods or services; (b) charge you different prices or rates for goods or services; (c) provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; (d) retaliate against you as an employee, applicant for employment, or independent contractor for exercising your privacy rights; or (e) suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services, because you exercised a right under applicable privacy laws.
  • Right to Disclosure of Marketing Information. California’s Shine the Light Act (Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84) entitles California residents to request certain disclosures regarding Personal Data sharing with affiliates and/or third parties for marketing purposes.
