SingleFile, Inc. (“SingleFile,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) and our affiliates value the privacy of individuals who use our website, applications, and related services (collectively, our “Services”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information (as defined below) from users of our Services (“Users”).  It also tells you about your rights and choices with respect to your Personal Information, and how you can contact us if you have any queries or concerns. By using our Services, you agree to the collection, use, disclosure, and procedures this Privacy Policy describes. Beyond the Privacy Policy, your use of our Services is also subject to our Terms of Service.

In addition to the activities described in this Privacy Policy, we may process Personal Information on behalf of our commercial customers when they use the Services. We may process such Personal Information as a data processor of our commercial customers, which are the entities responsible for the data processing. To understand how a commercial customer may process your Personal Information, please refer to that customer's privacy policy.

Information We Collect

In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. We may collect a variety of Personal Information from or about you or your devices from various sources, as described below.

If you do not provide your Personal Information when requested, you may not be able to use our Services if that Personal Information is necessary to provide you with our Services or if we are legally required to collect it.

A. Personal Information You Provide to Us.

Communications. If you contact us directly through our website or through email, we may receive Personal Information about you, such as your name, telephone number, email address, company name, and company address.  We may also receive the contents of a message or attachments that you may send to us, and any other additional Personal Information you choose to provide.  When you communicate with us online, third party vendors receive and store these communications on our behalf.  If you sign up for our updates, then we will collect certain Personal Information from you, such as your email address. When we send you emails, we may track whether you open them to learn how to deliver a better customer experience and improve our Services.

Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies. We and our third-party partners collect Personal Information using cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies. Our third-party partners, such as analytics and advertising partners, may use these technologies to collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different services.

How We Disclose the Personal Information We Collect

We do not disclose Personal Information we collect from or about you except as described below or otherwise disclosed to you at the time of the collection.

Affiliates. We may disclose any Personal Information we receive to our current or future affiliates for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Vendors and Service Providers. We may disclose any Personal Information we receive to vendors and service providers retained in connection with the provision of our Services, including for billing, payment processing, invoicing and VAT calculation, analyzing data, providing IT-hosting and maintenance.

Analytics Partners. We use analytics services such as Google Analytics to collect and process certain analytics data. These services may also collect Personal Information about your use of other websites, apps, and online resources. You can learn more about Google’s practices by visiting https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Advertising Partners. We work with third-party advertising partners to show you ads that we think may interest you. Some of our advertising partners are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (https://optout.networkadvertising.org) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://optout.aboutads.info). If you do not wish to receive personalized ads, please visit their opt-out pages to learn about how you may opt out of receiving web-based personalized ads from member companies.

As Required By Law and Similar Disclosures. We may access, preserve, and disclose your Personal Information if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (a) comply with law enforcement requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (b) respond to your requests; or (c) protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety. For the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of your Personal Information may occur if you post any objectionable content on or through the Services. 

Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. We may transfer your Personal Information to service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets. The use of your Personal Information following any of these events will be governed by the provisions of this Privacy Policy in effect at the time the applicable Personal Information was collected.

Consent. We may also disclose your Personal Information with your permission. 

 

Data Retention

We take measures to delete your Personal Information or keep it in a form that does not permit identifying you when this information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we process it, unless we need to retain certain information as required by law, including to comply with tax requirements, or for as long as is reasonably necessary to meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse or enforce our terms and conditions. When determining the specific retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the type of service provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, and mandatory retention periods provided by law and the relevant statute of limitations. 

Your Choices

Marketing Communications. You can unsubscribe from our promotional emails via the link provided in the emails. Even if you opt out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us. 

Your Rights

Depending on where you reside, you may have the following legal rights:

  • Access and Portability. You may ask us to provide you with a copy of the Personal Information we maintain about you, including a machine-readable copy of the Personal Information that you have provided to us, and request information about its processing.

  • Rectification and Deletion. You may ask us to update and correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information, or to have the information anonymized or deleted, as appropriate.

  • Restriction and Objection. You may ask us to restrict the processing of your Personal Information, or object to such processing.

  • Consent Withdrawal. You may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us regarding the processing of your Personal Information, at any time and free of charge. We will apply your preferences going forward and this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before you withdrew your consent.

  • Complaint. You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, including in your country of residence, place of work, or where an incident took place. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance.

You may exercise these rights by contacting us using the contact details at the end of this Policy. Please note that there are exceptions and limitations to each of these rights. 

 

Third Parties

 

Our Services may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities on these third-party services or any information you disclose to these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them. 

Security

We make reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Information by using physical and electronic safeguards designed to improve the security of the information we maintain. However, because no electronic transmission or storage of information can be entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your Personal Information, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use Personal Information from children under 13 years of age, and no part of our Services is directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us with Personal Information in violation of this Privacy Policy, then you may alert us at hello@singlefile.io.

International Visitors

Our Services are hosted in the United States and intended for visitors located within the United States. If you choose to use the Services from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your Personal Information outside of those regions to the U.S. for storage and processing. We may also transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Services.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland (“Europe”), we will comply with applicable data protection laws when transferring your Personal Information outside of your jurisdiction. In particular we will rely on (i) an EU Commission, UK or Swiss government adequacy decision, (ii) contractual protections for the transfer of your Personal Information, or (iii) another valid data transfer mechanism. If you are located in Europe, you may contact us as specified below for more information about the safeguards we use to transfer Personal Information outside of Europe.

By providing any information, including personal information, on or to the Services, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.

We will post any adjustments to the Privacy Policy on this page, and the revised version will be effective when it is posted. If we materially change the ways in which we use or disclose Personal Information previously collected from you through the Services, we will notify you through the Services, by email, or other communication.
