PLAYFAIR DATA
PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: May 23, 2022

Playfair Data, LLC, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively referred to as “Playfair”, “us”, “our”, or “we”) delivers consulting, training, content and other services (“Content”) at both live events and from our websites, playfairdata.com and playfairdata.tv, and all Playfair-operated websites or applications that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Platform”). This Privacy Policy explains how Playfair Data LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “Playfair”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collect, protect, use, and disclose information your Personal Information provided to us through our Content, Platform, third parties, services and products controlled by Playfair, and any other online or offline interaction with Playfair (collectively, “Services”).

As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. Examples of Personal Information include, among others, name, email address, phone number, and online identifiers. When we combine Personal Information with other information, we treat the combined information as Personal Information.  On the other hand, if we alter or aggregate Personal Information such that it can no longer be reasonably used to identify you, such information is no longer Personal Information.

We may revise and update this Privacy Policy from time to time and will post the updated Privacy Policy to the Platform. If these changes are material (i.e., changes we believe you will find important), we will post notice of the changes on the Platform. We do not ordinarily provide advance notice of a minor change. You can tell when changes have been made to the Privacy Policy by referring to the “Last Updated” legend on top of this page. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent. UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ANY CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY WILL APPLY IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING TO THE PLATFORM.

1. Personal Information We Collect Through the Platform
Playfair is a technology and data company that, through the Platform or offline interactions, provides you with educational videos and training materials on how to use and harness certain technology as applied to data. The types of Personal Information that we may collect for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice are described in this section and include Personal Information that you voluntarily provide to us, Personal Information that we collect automatically when you use Services, and Personal Information that we collect from other sources. This section describes the types of information we collect through our Services and how we use it.

A. Personal Information You Provide
We collect Personal Information that you provide to us through the Platform and use such Personal Information for purposes relating to the reasons you provided it to us and to help us improve our Services. For example, we collect information such as:

Personally identifiable contact information such as your name, email, phone number, or other information you submit when communicating with us, such as the “contact us” sections of our Services.

Purchase information, such as items you purchase, shipping address, billing address and contact information for order details, statuses, or issues.

Account and profile information, such as your username and password to access password protected portions of our Platform; and

Communications you send to us.

B. Personal Information We Receive from Third Parties

Your name, billing address, credit card type, last four digits of credit card, and expiration date of credit card.

C. Information We Collect Automatically

Whenever you interact with the Platform, we automatically receive and record information from your browser or device. Information collected automatically may include your IP address, device ID, the type of browser you are using to access the Platform, and the identity of the Platform page or feature you are requesting. We may use such information to analyze trends, administer the Platform, and gather broad demographic data for aggregate use.
We may use “cookies” or other tracking technologies (e.g., web beacons, single-pixel, or clear GIFs) to track how you use the Platform for analytics and security purposes. A cookie is a file stored on your computer or device to uniquely identify your device or to store information or settings on your device. You may adjust your web browser software if you do not wish to receive cookies or web beacons, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of the Platform’s features. Please refer to your browser instructions or help pages to learn more about these functions. To assist us with analyzing our website traffic through cookies and similar technologies, we use analytics services such as Google Analytics. For more information on Google Analytics’ processing of your information, please see “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ Platforms or apps.

Some of our service providers may use cookies or other methods to gather information regarding your use of the Platform and may combine the information in these cookies with any of your Personal Information that they may have. The use of such information by a third party depends on the privacy policy of that third party.

Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked.  Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, our Platform does not currently interpret, respond to or alter their practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.

2. When Personal Information is Collected
You may be required to provide us with certain information that may constitute Personal Information in the following ways:

A. Contact Information
In various areas of our Platform and in printed materials, we provide you the opportunity to submit a form with contact information, such as your name, email, or mailing address. Playfair may use such information to inform you of new products, technical information and services, and upcoming events that may be of interest. If you no longer wish to receive any promotional emails, the opt-out process is described in Section 7 of this Privacy Policy.
B. Member Login Information
We process your username and password to enable you to securely log into our Platform, and we process information regarding your role with Playfair to appropriately control access to restricted content. We process this Personal Information only as necessary to provide you services on our Platform under our Terms of Use and to further our legitimate interests in protecting our Platform and content.
C. Payment Information
When you purchase services or products from us, third-party service providers acting on our behalf process payment information, including payment card details and billing and shipping addresses, to help us fulfill your orders.

D. Law Enforcement, Government Agencies, and Courts
We may disclose Personal Information at the request of law enforcement or government agencies or in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process to establish, protect, or exercise our rights or to defend against a legal claim or as otherwise required or allowed by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of any person.

5. Protection of Your Personal Information & Data Retention
While we use commercially reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing our files or tampering with our Services, we cannot guarantee that these efforts will always be successful. Your Personal Information may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to or from us.

We reserve the right to retain any Personal Information as long as the Personal Information are needed to: (i) fulfill the purposes that are described in this Privacy Policy, and (ii) comply with applicable law. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy, or erase from our systems, all Personal Information which is no longer required for the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected.
