• End Users: Company processes End User data on behalf of its Customers. While our Customers are responsible, as data controllers, for how and why they collect and process their End User personal information, this Privacy Policy also applies to any End User personal information that we process, as a data processor, in order to provide Krisp to our Customers, except where specifically indicated. 

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

What personal information we process depends on how and why you use Krisp. We process personal information that we receive: 

• Directly, from you when you provide it to us, such as in connection with Krisp.

• Indirectly, through automated technologies as described herein, or from third parties.

Contact Forms  

If you contact us via the contact form on our Site, we will ask you to provide information (e.g. your name, email address, company name, title). 

Account Information

When you register for a Customer account we request your email address. We may also ask you to submit your name and company name, as well as End Users who will have access to Krisp. This information is your “Account Information” for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. Account Information is required to identify you as a Customer and permit you to access your account(s). 

Our Customers are responsible for ensuring that they comply with applicable privacy laws and notice requirements with respect to any individual whose name and information is submitted in connection with the Account Information.

Customer Payment Information 

In order to process your payment Information, we use PCI-compliant third-party processors, as explained in the section on Payment Processing below. This information is processed by our payment service provider and we receive a confirmation of payment, which we then associate with your Account Information and any relevant transactions. Please note that other payment methods (e.g wire transfer) may be availed to you as well.

Optional Information

We may also ask you to submit personal information if you choose to use interactive features of Krisp, including participation in research studies, surveys, requesting customer support, or otherwise communicating with us. For example, if you participate in a research study or survey, we may record your participation and feedback. In accordance with the consent provided by your device or other third-party API, we may process any contact information that you choose to provide us access to when using Krisp. We may also ask you for information when you interact with us (such as when responding to notices and announcements from us), and when you report a problem with Krisp or otherwise correspond with us. This includes:

• Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses, reported issues containing recordings of your noise/voice cancellation test results, which can be stored and used by us in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and the MSA), if you contact us.

• Your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete for research purposes.

Information We Collect Indirectly

From time to time, we may combine information we collect as described above with personal information we obtain from third parties.

We may receive information about you when you integrate third-party apps, or link a third-party service with Krisp. ​​If you decide to activate an integration, the third-party may share with us some information about you that is required to ensure your experience is more seamless, such as your name, email, or other content or information needed to facilitate the integration. The information we receive when you link or integrate Krisp with a third-party service depends on the settings, permissions and privacy policy controlled by that third-party service. You should always check the privacy settings and notices in these third-party services to understand what data may be disclosed to us or shared with Krisp. Additionally, if you sign up or login to Krisp using a third party authentication provider supported by us (e.g. Google, Microsoft, etc.), we may collect authentication information provided to us by such a provider to allow you to log in.

As explained above, we do not have access to or store any voice content.

We do not directly collect your payment information and we do not store your payment information. We use third-party, PCI-compliant, payment processors, which collect payment information on our behalf in order to complete transactions. While our administrators are able to view and track actual transactions via customer portals, we do not have access to, or process, your credit card information.If we availed other payment methods, we may request your bank information to process refunds, if any.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

General Retention Periods

We use the following criteria to determine our retention periods:

• The amount, nature and sensitivity of your information.

• The reasons for which we collect and process the personal data.

• The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide you with access to our Site and/or Krisp.

• Applicable legal requirements.

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide Krisp. Note, however, that with respect to our Customers with active accounts, we may retain certain essential account information, but otherwise regularly delete other information that is less essential to the provision of Krisp in order to minimize our storage of data. We also will retain personal information that we’ve collected from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). Additionally, we cannot delete information when it is needed for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (also known as a “litigation hold”). In this case, the information must be retained as long as needed for exercising respective potential legal claims. When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. For any questions about data retention, please contact [email protected].

Anonymization

In some instances, we may choose to anonymize your personal data instead of deleting it, for statistical use, for instance. When we choose to anonymize, we make sure that there is no way that the personal data can be linked back to you or any specific End User.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Company is a United States corporation, which primarily stores information in the United States. To facilitate our global operations, we may process personal information from around the world, including from other countries and in other countries in which Company has operations, in order to provide Krisp.

If you are accessing or using Krisp or otherwise providing personal information to us, you are agreeing and consenting to the processing of your personal information in the United States and other jurisdictions in which we operate. 

You are responsible for informing your End Users of how and where their personal information will be processed at the time of collection. Because different countries may have different data protection laws than the United States we take steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data as explained in this Privacy Policy. We enter into data processing agreements with our Customers on request.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR USERS IN THE EEA AND THE U.K.

Rights and Choices

If the GDPR applies to you because you are in the EEA or the U.K., you have certain rights in relation to your personal data:

• The right to be informed: our obligation to inform you that we process your personal data (and that’s what we’re doing in this Privacy Policy)

• The right of access: your right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (also known as a ‘data subject access request’)

• The right to erasure (also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’): under certain circumstances, you may ask us to delete the personal data we have about you (unless it remains necessary for us to continue processing your personal data for a legitimate business need or to comply with a legal obligation as permitted under the GDPR, in which case we will inform you)

• The right to restrict processing: your right, under certain circumstances, to ask us to suspend our processing of your personal data

• The right to data portability: your right to ask us for a copy of your personal data in a common format (for example, a .csv file)

End Users in the EEA or the U.K.

Company has no direct relationship with End Users. Our Customers are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to their End Users, and this includes handling all data subject requests. We rely on our Customers to comply with the underlying legal requirements and respond directly to End Users when End Users wish to exercise the rights set forth above. However, if an End User sends a request to Company to access, correct, update, or delete his/her information, we will direct that End User to contact the Customer’s website(s) with which he/she interacted directly, and cooperate with our Customers as required by applicable law in order to ensure that our Customers satisfy their End Users’ requests.
