Last Updated: October 28, 2024

GoodTime, along with its affiliate and subsidiary companies, (“GoodTime,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides our customers with electronic information technology and calendaring and communications services. This GoodTime Technologies Consolidated Privacy Notice (the “Privacy Policy”) is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, process, and share your personal information, and to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights.

  1. SCOPE

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by us, including on our websites, products, services, and other online or offline offerings. To make this Privacy Policy easier to read, our websites, services, and other offerings are collectively referred to as the “Services.

An Important Note: This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information that our customers, along with their employees, contractors, and other personnel (collectively, “Workers”) provide to us to process on the customer’s behalf (collectively, “Customer Data”). Rather, our customers’ respective privacy policies (such as their employee privacy notices) govern their collection and use of Customer Data, and our processing of Customer Data is governed by the contracts that we have in place with our customers, not this Privacy Policy.

Any questions or requests relating to Customer Data should be directed to our customers.

Google uses this information to analyze your use of the website, to generate reports about website activities for website operators and to provide further services related to website and internet use. Google may also share such information with third parties to the extent it is legally required to do so and/or to the extent third parties process data on behalf of Google. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy as well as the Google Analytics Data Processing Agreement. Site usage is tracked using Google Analytics in accordance with their Privacy Policy. If you do not want your data to be used by Google Analytics, you may opt-out by installing Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You may deactivate Google Analytics with the help of a browser add-on if you do not want this website analysis. For more information, including how to change your cookie preferences, please see our Cookie Policy.
  • Social Media Platforms. Our Services may contain social media buttons that might include widgets such as a “share this” button or other interactive mini programs. These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Services and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these platforms are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

In certain circumstances, the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Framework provides the right to invoke binding arbitration to resolve complaints not resolved by other means, as described in Annex I to the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles.

Should GoodTime become subject to an FTC or court order based on non-compliance with the Principles, GoodTime will make public any relevant EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles-related sections of any compliance or assessment report submitted to the FTC, to the extent consistent with confidentiality requirements.

H. Third Party Transfers. We may transfer Personal Data to our third-party agents, resellers, licensees, or service providers who perform functions on our behalf or on behalf of our customers as described in our policies.

  1. USE OF AI TOOLS AND DATA PROTECTION

Our AI Tools utilize advanced generative pre-trained transformer language models, (the “Language Models”), to deliver high-quality, human-like text generation based on user prompts and messages. This section outlines how we safeguard your personal data when you interact with our AI Tools:

Data Collection and Use:

  • When you use our tools that use AI functionality (the “AI Tools”), we collect and process the text you input (the "user input") to generate responses.
  • The language models use this User Input alongside the extensive datasets they were trained on to create relevant and accurate responses.
  • We do not use user input to retrain or improve the language models, nor do we share this data with third parties for such purposes.

Data Storage and Security:

  • User Input is temporarily stored on secure servers to facilitate the processing and delivery of responses. We implement industry-standard encryption protocols to protect this data from unauthorized access and breaches.
  • Stored data is periodically reviewed and securely deleted in accordance with our data retention policy, ensuring that personal data is not kept longer than necessary.

Data Anonymization:

  • We anonymize user input to the greatest extent possible. Personal identifiers such as names, addresses, and other specific details are stripped from the data before processing by the language models.
  • Any identifiable information inadvertently collected through user input is promptly anonymized or deleted.

User Control and Consent:

  • Users have control over the data they provide to our AI Tools. We encourage you to avoid sharing sensitive personal information unless absolutely necessary for the intended interaction.
  • By using our AI Tools, you consent to the processing of your user input as described in this privacy policy clause. You may withdraw consent at any time by ceasing use of the AI Tools and requesting the deletion of any stored data.

Third-Party Access:

  • We do not share user input with third-party entities for marketing, advertising, or other purposes unrelated to the operation and improvement of our AI Tools.
  • In exceptional circumstances where disclosure is required by law, we ensure that such requests are handled with the utmost care and in compliance with legal standards.

User Rights:

  • You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data stored by us. To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@goodtime.io
  • We are committed to responding to your requests promptly and transparently, ensuring that your data privacy rights are respected.
