  To comply with legal or regulatory data retention requirements.

  For financial, audit, or dispute resolution purposes requiring reasonable retention extensions.

  Other reasons include: whether we have legal obligations (for instance, certain laws require us to retain records for a specific period before deletion), and whether retaining data is appropriate based on our legal position (such as regarding applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations). We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes outlined in this policy, unless otherwise required by law.

Summary of the Information We Collect

If you are a California resident, California law requires us to provide you with additional information about how we collect, use, and disclose your 'personal information' (as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act ('CCPA')).

In this privacy policy, we discuss in detail the specific types of personal information we collect from users, the sources of that information, and how we share that information. Under the CCPA, we are also required to provide you with the 'categories' of personal information we collect and disclose for business purposes (as defined by applicable law).

These categories include:

  Identifiers (such as name, email address, or social network account and profile data);

  Commercial information (such as transaction data for paid accounts);

  Financial data (such as payment methods or financial account information);

  Internet or other network or device activity (such as IP address and usage information);

  Location information (such as the approximate location of your device when interacting with the website, software, and/or services);

  Sensory information (such as recordings if you contact our customer service);

  Inferences made about you;

  Other information that can identify or reasonably be associated with you. We collect these categories of personal information from different sources.

We collect and use your personal information for the following business and commercial purposes:

  Communicating with you and responding to your inquiries

  Improving our website and services

  Detecting, preventing, and addressing security or technical issues

  Complying with legal obligations

Our service providers and we may use the categories of personal information collected from you for the various business and commercial purposes discussed in this privacy policy.

We may also use categories of personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, and we may aggregate or de-identify the information we collect to limit or prevent the identification of any specific user or device.

Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. California law might enable you to demand that we:

  Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.

  Delete certain information we hold about you.

You have the right to obtain information about any financial incentives we offer (if any). You also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising certain rights (as provided by applicable law). Under applicable law, certain information may not be subject to such requests. For example, we require certain types of information to be able to provide you with access to the website, software, and services. If you request that we delete this information, you may no longer be able to access or use the website, software, and services.

To exercise these rights, you can:

  Submit a support ticket via this link to request a personal data report. You must log in to your bytefly.ai account to submit this request, and you may need to log in to your account to access the summary or report.

Even though we do not sell your personal information, you still have the right to opt out of any future potential sale of your personal information. If you would like to opt out of any potential future sale of your personal information, please submit a support ticket or send an email to [email]. We do share certain information, as described in the 'Information Access and Disclosure' section above, and we allow third parties to collect certain information about your activities, such as through cookies, as described in our Cookie Policy.

California residents may also exercise their rights under the CCPA through a designated authorized agent acting on their behalf. If you submit a request using an authorized agent, we may require you to provide written permission allowing the authorized agent to act on your behalf and directly verify your identity with us. We may also require the authorized agent to submit proof that they are authorized to act on your behalf.
