Effective date: 24th June 2023
Edgetensor Technologies Inc. is committed to maintaining your confidence and trust with respect to your privacy. Please read this privacy policy carefully to understand our practices about how we collect, use and share your personal information.
This policy describes the information that Edgetensor, Inc. (“Edgetensor Technologies Inc.,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) may collect, process, store, share, or transmit in order to support various products and services offered to you by Edgetensor.
This privacy policy applies when you visit, use or interact with our websites and other services, including our mobile applications, developer platforms and associated SDKs, that refer or link to this privacy policy (each, a “Service”). It also describes your choices regarding use, access and correction of your personal information. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, do not access or use the Services. This privacy policy may be supplemented by additional privacy statements, terms or notices provided to you.
This privacy policy does not apply to any third party applications or software that integrates with the Services, or any other third-party products, services or businesses (“Third-Party Services”). In addition, a separate agreement may govern delivery, access and use of the Services (the “User Agreement”), including the processing of any content submitted through your use of the Services (collectively, “User Data”). User Data may include, among other things, your name, user name, address, email address, telephone number, academic or other professional affiliation, digital object identifier, and other contact and demographic information when you register and set up an account, fill out a form, submit a comment or contact us by email or other means. The organization (e.g.,your employer or another entity or person) that entered into the User Agreement (“User”) controls the content submitted through the Services and any associated User Data. Persons that User authorizes to use the Services on its behalf are referred to as “Authorized Users.”
To provide the Services, we must process information about you. The types of information we may collect depends on how you use our Services. We may collect information about you in three ways: directly from your input, from third-party sources, and through automated technologies.
Your Input - Information you provide to us: The types of personal information that we collect directly from you depends on the content and features of the Service you use and how you otherwise interact with us and may include:
● Contact details, such as your name, email address, postal address, phone number and social media handle;
● Account login credentials, such as usernames and passwords, password hints, and similar security information;
● Other account registration and profile information, including educational, professional and other background information, such as your field of study, current position, practice area and areas of interest, and photo;
● Information that you communicate to us, such as questions or information you send by email to Edgetensor;
● Data that you provide to us as part of interacting with the Service and/or communications preferences, such as your preferred language and the frequency, type, and format of the alerts you sign up to receive.
Third-Party Providers and Services - Data from other sources: We may obtain contact details and other information about you from third parties, including: (1) third-party companies or individuals that help us process information and support Services (“Third-Party Providers”); and (2) publicly-available sources and data suppliers from which we obtain data to validate or supplement the information we hold.
● This data may be combined with other information we collect and might include aggregate level data, such as which IP addresses correspond to zip codes or countries.
● We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you may choose to share your information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your information will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. You understand that when you use public areas of the Services, your information will be available to other users and in some cases may be publicly available. We recommend you be cautious about giving out personal information to others or sharing personal information in public areas, whether designated as public or private. We are not responsible for the personal information you choose to share in these public areas or for the actions of any third parties with whom you share personal information.
● You may choose to permit or restrict Third-Party Providers from interacting with the Services. Typically, Third-Party Services are software that integrates with our Services, and User can permit its Authorized Users to enable and disable these integrations. Once enabled, the provider of a Third-Party Service may share certain information with Edgetensor. Authorized Users should check the privacy settings and notices in these Third-Party Services to understand what data may be disclosed to Edgetensor. When a Third-Party Service is enabled, Edgetensor is authorized to connect and access other information made available to Edgetensor in accordance with our agreement with the Third-Party Provider. We do not, however, receive or store passwords for any of these Third-Party Services when connecting them to the Services.
Automated Technologies - Device and usage data: The Service may also automatically collect information about how you and your device interact with the Service, such as:
● Computer, device and connection information, such as IP address, browser type and version, operating system and other software installed on your device, unique device identifier and other technical identifiers, error reports and performance data and your activity on the websites.
● Usage data, such as the features you used, the settings you selected.
● For location-aware Services, the physical location of your device.

This information may be governed by the privacy notice(s) provided by the third party at the time of collection.
In carrying-out our marketing and promotional activities, we employ either an opt-in or opt-out mechanism (as applicable under relevant laws) to ensure we have your consent to receive any relevant communications through electronic means.

If information is aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, Edgetensor may use it for any business purpose.
Users determine their own policies and practices for the sharing and disclosure of information, and Edgetensor does not control how they or any other third parties choose to share or disclose information.
We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and fulfill the transactions you have requested, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, maintaining the Services, resolving disputes, maintaining security, detecting and preventing fraud and abuse, enforcing our agreements, and other legitimate interests.
We work hard to protect the information you provide from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure. We take into account the sensitivity of the information we collect, process, and store, and the current state of technology. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once it is received. If you have any questions about the security of your information, you can contact us. Given the nature of communications and information processing technology, Edgetensor cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where Edgetensor has given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone, and we urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the websites like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the websites.
Your information will be stored and processed by Edgetensor in the United States or other countries for the purposes described in this document. We take steps, including through contracts, to ensure that the information continues to be protected wherever it is located in a manner consistent with the standards of protection required under applicable law.
