Last updated: September 12, 2024

This Privacy Policy informs you what to expect in relation to personal information about you which is collected on Recess Labs Inc. and subdomains of Recess Labs Inc. (“our websites”), and how it is handled and processed.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) the data controller is Recess Labs Inc. (“Recess Labs”, “us”, “we”, or “our”).

We take your privacy seriously. We acknowledge and agree that any personal data of yours that we handle will be processed with great care and in accordance with all applicable data protection laws in force.

By visiting our websites, and, at your discretion, submitting forms available, you accept and consent to the practices defined in this policy. If you are under 16 years of age you must obtain parental consent before providing us with any personal information.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect personal data directly from you (via forms) or indirectly from third-party sources (public websites, social media, vendors). Information collected includes:

  • Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Name, email, phone number, address, age, gender, marital status, and other details provided voluntarily (e.g., for newsletters, event registrations).

  • Additional Information: Data from correspondence, website comments, and analytics purposes for site optimization.
  • Tracking Cookies Data: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our services. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies, but some portions of our services may not function properly without them. Please see our Cookie Policy here for more information.

2. Use of Information

We may use the collected data to:

  • Provide and improve our services.

  • Monitor usage and detect technical issues.
  • Communicate marketing and promotional materials (with your consent).
  • Comply with legal requirements.

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), Recess Labs Inc.’s basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

Recess Labs Inc. may process your Personal Data because:

  • We need to perform a contract with you.
  • You have given us permission.
  • Processing is in our legitimate interests and is not overridden by your rights.

3. Disclosure of Information

Information we collect and receive may be disclosed to third parties in and out of the European Economic Area to the following categories of recipients:

  • Third-party companies and individuals we use to facilitate our services. These providers only access your data to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated to not disclose or use it for other purposes.
  • To any competent law enforcement body, regulatory and government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (a) as a matter of applicable law, (b) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (c) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person.
  • To any other person with your consent to the disclosure.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no data transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We protect your personal information in the same way that we protect other confidential information that we have access to. We use reasonable physical and technical safeguards to help prevent access by any unauthorized parties.

We will retain personal information for as long as reasonably needed by us to provide our Services. We may also retain and use such information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

This site utilizes caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily. Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.

7. Data Transfers

We use third-party vendors to provide our services. Such vendors provide us with hardware, networking, software, and storage.
