Information automatically collected
In Short:Some information — such as your Internet
Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and
device characteristics — is collected
automatically when you visit our Services.
We automatically collect certain information when you visit,
use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal
your specific identity (like your name or contact information)
but may include device and usage information, such as your IP
address, browser and device characteristics, operating system,
language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country,
location, information about how and when you use our Services,
and other technical information. This information is primarily
needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services,
and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
The information we collect includes:
- Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related,
diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically
collect when you access or use our Services and which we record
in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log
data may include your IP address, device information, browser
type, and settings and information about your activity in the
Services(such as the
date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files
viewed, searches, and other actions you take such as which
features you use), device event information (such as system
activity, error reports (sometimes called "crash dumps"), and hardware

server), device and application identification numbers, location,
browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider and/or
mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information.
- Location Data. We collect location data such as information
about your device's location, which can be either precise or
imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type
and settings of the device you use to access the Services. For
example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation
data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address).
You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either
by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location
setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you
may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.
2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We process your information to provide,
improve, and administer our Services,
communicate with you, for security and fraud
prevention, and to comply with law. We may
also process your information for other
purposes with your consent.
We process your personal information for a variety of
reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services,

otherwise manage user accounts.
We may process your information so you can create
and log in to your account, as well as keep your account in

an individual’s vital interest, such as to prevent harm.
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. Learn more about
withdrawing your consent.
- 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
- 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).
You can
withdraw your consent at any time.
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
4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION?
In Short:
We may share information in specific situations described in
this section and/or with the following third parties.
We may need to share
your personal information in the following situations:
- Business Transfers. We may share or
transfer your information in connection with, or during
negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets,
financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our
business to another company.
5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING
TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short:
We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to
collect and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web
beacons and pixels) to gather information when you interact with
our Services. Some online tracking technologies help us maintain
the security of our Services and
your account,
prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist
with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use
online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and
advertising, including to help manage and display
advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your interests, or
to send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on your
communication preferences). The third parties and service
providers use their technology to provide advertising about
products and services tailored to your interests which may
appear either on our Services or on other websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a "sale"/"sharing" (which includes targeted
advertising, as defined under the applicable laws) under applicable US
state laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by
submitting a request as described below under section "DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?"

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
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.
7. 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.
8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short:
We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of
age.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to
children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such
personal information. By using the Services, you represent that
you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of
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 admin@squadron-ai.com.
9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: Depending on your state
of residence in the US or in some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom
(UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to
and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at
any time, depending on your country, province, or state of
residence.
In some regions (like the
EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data
protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request
access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to
request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the
processing of your personal information; (iv) if applicable, to
data portability; and (v) 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.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying
on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied
consent depending on the applicable law, 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 withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing
of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing
grounds other than consent.
Opting out of marketing and promotional communications:You can unsubscribe from 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 "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below. You will then be

you — for example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary
for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service
requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.
Account Information
If you would at any time like to review or change the information
in your account or terminate your account, you can:
- Contact us using the contact information provided.
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. For further information, please see our Cookie Notice: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=en-US.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights,
you may email us at admin@squadron-ai.com.
10. 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.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to
web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an
industry or legal standard for recognizing
or honoring DNT signals, we do
not respond to them at this time.
