Your privacy is important to us. With this in mind, we’re providing this Privacy Policy to explain our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that we receive from the person or entity accessing our Site or using our Services (“you” or “your”), including in particular information which may be used to identify you or reasonably relates to you as a natural person or any other information defined as personal information or similar term under applicable law (“Personal Information”). Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in our terms of service applicable to your use cases. Please read the applicable terms of service for important information about data usage and permissible uses of data.

1. Scope and Applicability

This Privacy Policy sets forth the privacy practices of Edgeimpulse, Inc. (“Edge Impulse” or “we” or “us” or “our”) for (1) our website located at www.edgeimpulse.com (the “Site”) and (2) all Edge Impulse software and applications (including, without limitation, mobile software and applications) (the “Software”) and all other Edge Impulse products or services provided or otherwise made accessible on or through the Software or the Site (collectively the “Services”), where Edge Impulse is the controller (or analogous term under applicable privacy laws).

For more information about collection and use of your information as part of Customer Data by an Edge Impulse customer, please reach out to the customer directly. We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with the applicable customer directly. Customer Data is controlled by the respective privacy policy of the applicable customer, which we encourage you to review for more information about their practices.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.

9. Data of Students and Children

We participate in specific events for students aged 14 or older (“students”). As part of these events, we offer a limited version of our Services. In doing so, we collect information that student users voluntarily provide, including the student’s email address, the email address of the student’s parent or legal guardian, unique user account identifiers, and, if permitted by the relevant program policy, any personal information that the student uploads to their project while using our Services. We use this information to create the student’s account, including to obtain consent from the student’s parent or legal guardian, and to provide our Services requested by the student. Additionally, for the purpose of age verification, we ask students to provide their date of birth or month of birth during user account registration. The information regarding the student’s date of birth or month of birth, as applicable, is not retained and will be deleted promptly after our system completes the verification process. We may also process such information disclosed under this section for legal compliance and corporate transaction-related purposes, as described under "Collection of Personal Data" above.

This information is processed on the basis of consent provided by the student’s parent or legal guardian, who may withdraw consent at any time (for future processing) by contacting us as described in the “Your Rights” and “Contact Us” sections below.

As necessary to operate these student programs, we may provide student information to our service providers (for example, our cloud service provider), contractors, affiliates and as otherwise described in “Disclosure of Personal Information” above. We retain student information as described in “Retention of Personal Information” above, and may transfer it across borders as described in “Global Transfers of Personal Information” below.

Other than as described above under “Student Programs”, our Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 18 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from Children. If you become aware that a person under the age of 18 has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from Children without verification of parental consent where required by applicable law, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

10. Global Transfers of your Personal Information    

We are a global business and your information may be transferred and be accessed from around the world, such as from countries where our affiliates and our service providers operate and which may not provide levels of data protection that are equivalent to those of your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your information receives appropriate safeguards in the jurisdictions in which we or our service providers process it, for example, by entering into approved standard contractual clauses with the recipient (where required under applicable law). You may request more information about the appropriate safeguards and a copy of the standard contractual clauses (where applicable) by contacting us using the Contact Us information below.

12. Special Provisions Applicable to Residents of California

If you are a California resident, you may be entitled to certain of the rights set forth above under “Your Rights” under applicable California state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act and related regulations, as may be amended from time to time (“CCPA”).

Sensitive Personal Information. Notwithstanding the purposes described above in this Privacy Policy, we do not collect, use, or disclose “sensitive personal information” beyond the purposes authorized by applicable privacy law. Accordingly, we only use and disclose sensitive personal information as reasonably necessary and proportionate: (i) to perform our services requested by you; (ii) to help ensure security and integrity, including to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents; (iii) to detect, prevent and respond to malicious, fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal conduct; (iv) to verify or maintain the quality and safety of our services; (v) for compliance with our legal obligations; (vi) to our service providers who perform services on our behalf; and (vii) for purposes other than inferring characteristics about you.

Sales and Sharing of Personal Information. The CCPA defines “sale” as disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “sell” or “share” the following categories of personal information: identifiers and internet and network activity information. We may disclose these categories to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of analytics, marketing and advertising and to improve and measure our ad campaigns. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, nor do we sell or share personal information about individuals we know are under age sixteen (16).

Right to Opt-Out of Sales and Sharing. To exercise your right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information, you may do so by managing your cookie preferences by clicking the icon at the left bottom of your screen when you visit our site. We will apply your opt-out based upon the personal information in our records that is linked or reasonably linkable to the information provided in your request. You may also click the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of our Site.

In addition, if we detect that your browser or device is transmitting an opt-out preference signal, such as the “global privacy control” or “GPC” signal, we will opt that browser or device out of cookies that result in a “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. If you come to our Site or use our Services from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt-out, or use an opt-out preference signal, for that browser and/or device as well. More information about GPC is available at: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

California’s “Shine the Light” law. California Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the business’ practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. You are entitled to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and would like to request this information, then please submit a request to us as described above.
