At Snowball AI, protecting your privacy is of utmost importance to us. We respect your privacy and follow all applicable laws and regulations regarding personal information collected across our website, including www.snowball-ai.com, and other sites that we own and operate.
Personal information refers to any data that can be used to identify you as a person, including your name, address, date of birth, payment details, and browsing behavior on websites or online services.
If our website contains links to third-party sites and services, please note that they have their privacy policies. We recommend reading their privacy policy information about how they collect and use personal information. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities after leaving our site.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of 15 April 2023 and was last updated on the same date.
Information We Collect
We collect information that falls into two categories: voluntarily provided information and automatically collected information.
Voluntarily provided information refers to data that you knowingly and actively provide us when using our services, such as subscribing to our newsletter or contacting us.
Automatically collected information refers to data that your devices send us while accessing our products and services. This data may include your device's IP address, browser type, and version, the pages you visit, and the time and date of your visit.
When you encounter errors while using our website, we may automatically collect data about the error, including technical details about your device and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence.
Please note that while this information may not personally identify you on its own, it may be combined with other data to identify individual persons.
Device Data
When you interact with our website or services, we may automatically collect device data, such as your device type, operating system, and settings. The data we collect depends on your device and software settings, and we recommend reviewing your device or software provider's policies to learn more about what information they share with us.
Personal Information
We may ask for personal information when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us. This information may include your name, email, and social media profiles.
User-Generated Content
User-generated content includes reviews, ratings, images, and video materials voluntarily submitted by our users for publication on our website or social media channels. This content is associated with the account or email address used to submit the materials.
Please note that any content you submit for publication will be public after posting, and it may be accessible to third parties not covered by this privacy policy.
Legitimate Reasons for Processing Your Personal Information
We only collect and use your personal information for legitimate reasons necessary to provide our services to you.
Collection and Use of Information
We collect personal information when you purchase products and services, sign up for updates via email or social media, use a mobile device or web browser to access our content or contact us via email, social media, or similar technologies.
We may use your personal information for purposes such as providing our services to you, processing payments, delivering products and services, analytics, market research, business development, advertising, and marketing, and attributing content you submit.
We may combine voluntarily provided and automatically collected personal information with general information or research data we receive from other trusted sources.
Security of Your Personal Information
We will protect your personal information within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. While we do our best to safeguard the personal information you provide us, we cannot guarantee 100% data security since no electronic transmission or storage method is foolproof.
How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Information
We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. If you provide personal information to us when creating an account, we will retain it for as long as your account exists on our system. If your personal information is no longer necessary for this purpose, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.
However, in some cases, we may retain your personal information for legal, accounting, or reporting obligations or for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes.
