SCOPE

This Privacy Policy applies to information processed by us in the course of our business, including on our websites (the “Sites”), our mobile applications (the “Apps”), the Platform, and our related online and offline offerings (collectively, the “Services”).

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you use our Services, we may collect the following kinds of information:

Information You Provide to Us

Account Information. When you sign up for an account with our Services, you will provide us with personal information (also known as “personally identifiable information” or “personal data” under applicable laws). This may include your name, email address, gender, phone number, profile photo or image (to create an avatar), and AR/VR device type. For enterprise users, we may collect additional personal information from you including the name and address of your business and your role at the business. We may further collect necessary personal information about authorized users whom you authorize to use the Services on behalf of your business.

Your Communications with Us. We collect personal information from you such as your email address, name, employer or other company with which you are associated, AR/VR device type, and purchasing plans when you request information about our Services, register for our newsletter, request customer or technical support, or otherwise communicate with us.

Virtual Rooms. When you use our Services, you can create virtual rooms and visit virtual rooms created by others (“Rooms”). The Services allow you to upload images, documents, slides, attachments and other content (collectively, “Content”) into the Rooms so that you may easily share and collaborate with other individuals. We collect and store data describing the Rooms and the Content uploaded to the Rooms.

Teleconferencing. The Services allow you to teleconference with other users within the Rooms using the sensors on your AR/VR device. When you do this, audio and video of you and your surroundings will be captured by us and provided to other users along with an avatar constructed from your profile photo to enable AR/VR teleconferencing. We also collect and store usage information describing teleconferencing activities within the Rooms, such as the number of files uploaded, times and durations of the teleconferences, and the identities of the users who participated in the teleconferences.

We and others who use our Services may collect the information you submit or make available through these interactive features. Any content you provide via the public sections of these features will be considered “public” and may not be subject to all privacy protections referenced herein. By using these interactive features, you assume the risk that the personal information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties for their own purposes.
