may affect body detection. This meticulous process aids in refining the performance

recommendations to users. It also contributes to the overall enhancement of our
app's functionality.
3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and
we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your
consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfill our
contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the
valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may
rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
● Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e.,
consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw
your consent at any time.
● Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we
believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing
our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
● Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is
reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those
interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For
example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes
described in order to:
● Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and
services
● Develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for our users
● Analyze how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain
users
● Support our marketing activities
● Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities
● Understand how our users use our products and services so we can improve user
experience
● In order to enhance the app's functionality and provide users with more precise and
customized feedback and recommendations, we have a legitimate interest in
collecting and analyzing user videos to train and improve our machine learning
models. This helps us offer a more effective and tailored service to our users.
● In order to fulfill our legitimate interest in providing a superior user experience and
delivering more accurate insights to our users, we engage in the review and
annotation of recordings. This process involves both our dedicated employees and
official sub-processors, as defined under Article 28 of the GDPR. Our commitment to
data protection and privacy ensures that this valuable data is handled with the utmost
care and in compliance with relevant regulations.
● Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is
necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law
enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or
disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
● Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to
protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations
involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express
consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your
permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent).
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process
your information without your consent, including, for example:
● If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained
in a timely way
● For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
● For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
● If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess,
process, or settle an insurance claim
● For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
● If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim
of financial abuse
● If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the
availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for
purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the
laws of Canada or a province
● If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of
the court relating to the production of records
● If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or
profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information
was produced
● If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
● If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media
account details (like your Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will
receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile
information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will
often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other
information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this
privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note
that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information
by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice
to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can
set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
7. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?
In Short: We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your
own.
Our servers are located in EU, Belgium, Netherlands, and Finland. If you are accessing our
Services from outside EU, Belgium, Netherlands, and Finland, please be aware that your
information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those
third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see "WHEN AND WITH
WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?" above), in EU, and other
countries.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or
Switzerland, then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other
similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary
measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and
applicable law.
European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses:
We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using the
European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information
between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses
require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the
EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard
Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request. We have implemented similar
appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners and further details
can be provided upon request.

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined
in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes
set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law
(such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require
us keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have
an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information,
we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example,
because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will
securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until
deletion is possible.
9. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational
and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security
measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However,
despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission
over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure,
so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third
parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify
your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information,
transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should
only access the Services within a secure environment.
10. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that
personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will
deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our
records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age
18, please contact us at hello@apiir.tech.

over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any
time.

a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the
processing of your personal information; (vi) if applicable, to data portability; and (vii) not to
be subject to automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the
right to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request
by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU
CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection
laws.

protection authority or UK data protection authority.

you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at
any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN
YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its

our marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe
link in the emails that we send, or by contacting us using the details provided in the section

your account, you can:

Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and
information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files
to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal
terms and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by
default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to
reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain
features or services of our Services. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising by
advertisers on our Services.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at
hello@apiir.tech.
12. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a
Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference
not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage
no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been
finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other
mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a
standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you
about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
13. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding
access to your personal information.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits our
users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of
charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third

Verification process
Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the
same person about whom we have the information in our system. These verification efforts
require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you
have previously provided us. For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we
may ask you to provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide
with the information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a
communication method (e.g., phone or email) that you have previously provided to us. We
may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.
We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or
authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional
information from you for the purposes of verification. However, if we cannot verify your
identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide
additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and for security or
fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as
we finish verifying you.

that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with the
CCPA.
