   In the event that a User registers to the Services through their existing third-party SNS Account (as defined under our Terms of Service, namely the User’s Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft or Google+ account, or other approved social platforms or networks), or through a “Single Sign-On” (SSO) mechanism implemented by any third party sites, then such third-party social network may provide us with certain information about such User, as is stored in and/or made available by the User through their SNS Account. This includes the User’s name, public profile picture, URL address, SNS Account User ID, e-mail address, date of birth, gender, occupation or work information, education and other information which the User made public.

If you reside or are using the Services (i) in a territory governed by privacy laws which determine that “consent” is the only legal basis for the processing of Personal Data (in general, or specifically with respect to the types of Personal Data you choose to share via the Services) or (ii) in the EEA and provide us with Personal Data, the processing of which requires “consent” under applicable law (e.g. ‘special categories’ under the GDPR, or use of cookies under the e-Privacy directive and related local legislation), your acceptance of our Terms of Use and of this Privacy Policy will be deemed as your consent to the processing of your Personal Data for all purposes detailed in this Privacy Policy. If you wish to revoke such consent, please contact us at info@teza.ai or follow the instructions in Sections 6 or 8 below (as the case may be).

3. Data Location & Retention

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not designed to attract children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children and do not wish to do so.

If you believe that we might have any such data, please contact us by email at info@teza.ai.

10. Data Controller

Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the EU GDPR or the CCPA, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing Personal Data: the “Data Controller” (or under the CCPA, “business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “Data Processor”(or under the CCPA, “service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller. Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.

Teza is typically the “Data Controller” of its User's Personal Data, and with respect to which, assumes the responsibilities of Data Controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Under the CCPA, we be either the “business” with respect to Users’ Personal Data (if the User are directly engaged with us), or a “third party”” (if such Users are not directly engaged with us, whilst we process their personal information on our own behalf).

11. Additional Notices

Updates and Amendments: We may update and amend this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting an amended version on our Services. The amended version will be effective as of the date it is so published. We will provide a 10-day prior notice if we believe any substantial changes are involved via any of the communication means available to us or via the Services. After such notice period, all amendments shall be deemed accepted by you.
