Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Notice, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Data with third parties without your consent. 

Retention of your personal information

The length of time for which we retain personal information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws. Where there are technical limitations that prevent deletion or anonymization, we safeguard personal information and limit active use of it.
See the Section “Your choices” about the storage of your personal information.

How we protect your personal information 

We implement security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access. We apply these tools based on the sensitivity of the personal information we collect, use, and store, and the current state of technology. We protect your personal information through technical and organizational security measures to minimize risks associated with data loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and unauthorize disclosure and alteration. We periodically review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including technical and organizational measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems.  Your account is protected by your account password and we urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out of your account after each use.  

Because the internet is not a completely secure environment, Notably cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to Notably or guarantee that information on the Website may not be accessed, disclosed, altered and/or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical and/or managerial safeguards. In addition, while we take reasonable measure to ensure that service providers keep your information confidential and secure, such service provider’s practices are ultimately beyond our control. 

We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy and/or security measures of any other organization. By using our Website, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks. You may ask for a list of technical and organizational measures taken to protect your personal data by e-mailing us at: privacy@notably.ai.

You can stop receiving promotional/marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in e-mails that you receive or by sending us an email at unsubscribe@notably.ai.

  • Deletion of your personal information. Typically, we retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Where certain grounds apply, the law authorizes you to make a request that your personal information be deleted and triggers our corresponding obligation to comply, unless exceptions apply.

  • Provision/revocation of consent. You have the right to provide or decline consent to processing of personal information. If you’ve already provided consent, you also have the right to revoke it. This will not impact the legality of processing prior to revocation. If you revoke your consent for the processing of personal information, then we may no longer be able to provide you services. In some cases, we may deny your request to revoke consent if the law permits or requires us to do so – such as when we are unable to adequately verify your identity. You may revoke consent to processing (where such processing is based upon consent) by contacting us at the address described below.
  • Complaints. We are committed to resolving valid complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. For questions or complaints regarding our data use practices or this Privacy Notice, please contact us as provided below.

Please note that your rights are not absolute, meaning that in some circumstances, exceptions exist under applicable law. The law may provide exemptions from requests involving your personal data.

You may exercise these rights by contacting us at privacy@notably.ai. We will respond to any such request in a timely manner as specified by the GDPR. If we need more time to fulfill your request, we will let you know in advance. We will not exceed the legally specified time limit under any circumstance.

Note that, as required by law, we will require you to prove your identity. We may verify your identity by phone call or email. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name or other account information. We may also ask you to provide a signed declaration confirming your identity. Following a request, we will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you in our files.

In some circumstances, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf. We will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf. You must provide us with a copy of the signed permission you have given to the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf and verify your own identity directly with us.

  • If you are a business, proof that you are registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business in California.

If we do not receive both pieces of information, the request will be denied.

Other important information

The following additional information relates to our privacy practices:

International data transfers. Our company operates globally and has a global infrastructure.

If we share your personal information with entities located in the United States or other non-EEA jurisdictions which, according to the European Commission and the Court of Justice of the European Union through its Schrems II decision, do not offer an adequate level of protection to personal information, the GDPR authorizes other solutions to address lawful cross-border transfers. Notably may rely on data processing agreements (DPAs) with attached standard contractual clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or other appropriate solutions to address cross-border transfers as required or permitted by Articles 46 and 49 of the GDPR.  Where required by such laws, you may request a copy of the suitable mechanisms we have in place by contacting us. For further information, see our GDPR Compliance Addendum.

Rights of California residents

If you are a California resident, the CCPA provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. For instance, we cannot disclose specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure would create a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of the personal information, your account with us, or the security of our network systems. 

These rights are explained below:

  • Right against discrimination. You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of the rights described in this section. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your right to know, delete or opt-out of sales.
  • Right to access. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months.  Notably will provide personal information to a consumer upon request a maximum of two times in a 12-month period. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose the following to you: (i) the categories of personal information we collected about you; (ii) the categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you; (iii) the business purpose for collecting (or selling, if applicable) the personal information; (iv) the categories of third parties with whom we share such personal information; and (v) the specific information we collected about you.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete and will direct our service providers to delete your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. Keep in mind, we may deny your request if it is necessary for us or our service providers to: (i) complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform services pursuant to our contract with you; (ii) detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities; (iii) debug our website and/or identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality; (iv) exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law; (v) comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.); (vi) engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent; (vii) enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us; (viii) make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it; or (xi) comply with a legal obligation.

Verification on consumer request and timeline

To assert your right to know, to access, or to delete your personal information, please contact us as set forth below.

To confirm your identity, it is imperative that we verify the consumer request and so you must provide information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected the Personal information or are an authorized representative. If you make a request on behalf of another person, we will need to verify that you have the authority to do so. You must also describe the request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to such request. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal information relates to you. We will not honor your request if an exception to the law applies.

We will respond to requests within forty-five (45) days after our receipt of such verifiable request (or within such other time as required by applicable law). If we need additional time, we will notify you in writing prior to the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period and inform you of the reason for an additional forty-five (45) day extension of time. For the avoidance of doubt, any such requests for personal information will cover the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such verifiable request. A disclosure of personal information in response to such a request will be provided in a commonly used format. For more information about requests, please see the “Your rights and controlling your personal information” section of the Privacy Notice. 

Send us an email at privacy@notably.ai or you can also send a request in writing to Notably, Inc., Attention: Privacy Department, 6226 11th Ave S Gulfport, Fl 33707 to exercise any of the foregoing.
