3. Information Sharing
We created a tool for team and company collaboration, due to that we share the information you consent to share with others.
- Collaboration: You can create and share content with your colleagues, which may contain personal information about you. When you use certain collaboration features on our Services and share or interact with specific content, some of your profile information may be visible to other users of the Services. For example, a colleague who is providing feedback about you could see your name, surname and profile picture.
- Third-party: We engage with third-party service providers to assist us in various essential functions, including website and application development, hosting, maintenance, backup, storage, virtual infrastructure, payment processing, and analysis. As part of their role in providing these Services for us, there may be instances where these providers need to access or utilize information about you.
However, we take data privacy and security seriously. Any access to your information by these service providers is strictly governed by our close supervision and instruction. We have implemented comprehensive policies and procedures to ensure that your information is adequately protected throughout this process. Your confidentiality and privacy are of paramount importance to us, and we remain committed to upholding the highest standards in safeguarding your data.
4. Information Storage and Security
To ensure your information is safe and secure, we utilize data hosting service providers based in Europe. Alongside this, we implement robust technical measures to protect your data.
However, it's essential to understand that despite our best efforts, no security system is entirely invulnerable. Due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data transmission or storage on our systems is impervious to unauthorized access.
Regarding the retention of information, the duration varies depending on the type of data collected. For active accounts, we keep your account information for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward, in case you decide to reactivate our Services.
Certain information is also retained to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, support business operations, and continuously improve our Services. When we use information for Service enhancement, we ensure that it is anonymized and used only to gain collective insights about the usage of our Services, respecting your privacy at all times.
In the event of account deactivation or disability, some of your shared information and content will be retained to enable your team members or other users to continue utilizing the Services effectively. For example, feedback sent to recipients and provided content may still be accessible.
If the Services are accessed through an organization (such as an employer), we retain your information for as long as required by the account administrator. For further details, please refer to "Additional Privacy Considerations".
Regarding marketing preferences, if you have opted to receive marketing emails from us, we maintain your related information for a reasonable period from the last time you showed interest in our Services, such as when you last opened an email or ceased using your Effy AI account. Additionally, information derived from cookies and tracking technologies is retained for a reasonable period from the date of creation.

Please reach out to your administrator for assistance. Please keep in mind that deactivating your account does not erase your information.

Request to Stop Using Your Information: If you believe that we do not have the appropriate rights to access, store, or use your information, you have the right to request that we stop processing it. For instance, if you believe an unauthorized Services account was created for you or you are no longer an active user, you can request the deletion of your account, as outlined in this policy. Similarly, if you provided consent for specific purposes, you can contact us to withdraw that consent. Please note that this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. If you wish to opt-out of our use of your information for marketing purposes, you can contact us as provided below. When you make such requests, we will need time to investigate and facilitate your request.

You can use the unsubscribe link within each email, update your email preferences in your Service account settings menu, or contact us to have your contact information removed from our promotional email list or registration database.
