5. PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCESS AND CORRECTION.

If you have registered for an account with the Service, we may provide you with the ability to access, review and change certain personal information by logging into the Service, visiting your account page, and using the features and functionalities available there.

Not all personal information that we store is maintained in a format that you can access or change. If you would like to request access to, or correction or deletion of, personal information, you may send your request to help@Fastedge.ai. We will review your request, and we may require you to provide additional information to identify yourself, but we do not promise that we will be able to satisfy your request. For example, the personal information may already have been relied upon, acted upon, or disclosed to third parties, and we generally do not take steps (or have the ability to take steps) to undo prior reliance or actions. We also might not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement, be burdensome, or cause the information to become incorrect, at our discretion.

6. INFORMATION FROM USE OF APIS AND TOOLS.

In the course of providing the Tools and the Service to our customers, we may collect or receive audiovisual or other content uploaded or transmitted to or through the Service (“User Content”) and analytics or other data through use of the APIs (“Analytics Data”). The APIs and portions of the Tools are designed to be compatible with or embedded into websites and applications that serve video content, which will allow you to upload User Content or collect Analytics Data. Analytics Data may include information about the customer’s end users who view video content, such as IP addresses, cookie information, unique device identifiers, details about the video content viewed, computer or device information, information about the software or technology used to view videos, interactions with video content (e.g., when the user starts watching, when they click “pause”, or when they skip an ad), and information from video content publishers and distributors (e.g., user IDs).

User Content and Analytics Data are owned and controlled by our customers. We collect and process User Content and Analytics Data solely to provide our Service to our customers, to maintain and improve our Service, and as otherwise permitted by our agreements with our Customers. We may share User Content and Analytics Data as described in Section 3 above and as otherwise directed or permitted by our Customers. We do not use User Content or Analytics Data for our own marketing or advertising purposes, nor do we disclose such data to third parties other than as described in Section 3 above or as directed by our Customers, except to the extent that Analytics Data has been aggregated and/or anonymized in a manner designed not to identify our customers or their end users.

The relevant customers will have their own privacy policies, which will describe their collection and use of any information collected through the Tools. This Policy is not intended to describe the privacy practices of any third-party website or service or our customers’ use of the Tools.

7. SECURITY AND STORAGE OF INFORMATION.

We take what we believe to be commercially reasonable steps to help protect personal information that we collect, but we do not guarantee that this personal information will be completely protected. For example, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Any transmission of personal information by you is at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site, including the illegal acts of third parties (such as criminal hacking). The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) account credentials (e.g., usernames or passwords) for access to certain parts of the Site or the Service, you are responsible for keeping those credentials confidential. Do not give your credentials to anyone else. If you enter a section of the Service that requires a password, you should log out when you leave it. If you believe that any account credentials for the Site or the Service have been compromised, please contact us immediately at help@Fastedge.ai.

8. DATA RETENTION.

We tend to keep personal information for as long as we deem necessary for our business purposes or as otherwise required to operate the Service, comply with your requests, and comply with applicable law.

9. PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 13.

We do not direct our Site or our Service to children under the age of 13. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without parental consent or legal authority required by applicable privacy laws, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information collected from a child under the age of 13, please contact us at help@Fastedge.ai.

10. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES.

The Service may contain links to and from third-party websites belonging to our business partners, advertisers, social media sites, or campaign sponsors, and our users may post links to third-party websites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies. Please check the individual websites’ policies before you submit any information to those websites.

11. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY.

We reserve the right to modify this Policy from time to time. If we make any changes to this Policy, we will change the ‘last modified’ date above and post the updated Policy on this page. If you object to any changes, you may close your account. Continuing to use our Services after we publish changes to this Privacy Policy means that you consent to the changes.
