This Privacy Policy explains the policies and procedures of Teamblind Inc. ("Teamblind," "we," "us," or "our") regarding the collection, processing, storage and protection of personal information related to our Blind mobile and web services, as well as any other services we provide (collectively, our "Services" or "Blind"). By using Blind, you agree to the policies and procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy. You should review this Privacy Policy to understand our practices pertaining to personal information.

1.1. Information You Provide to Us Directly. This includes your changeable username, password, and entity-related email address in connection with our registration process and the maintenance of your account with us, which allows you to use our Services. We may also receive publicly available employment history from the LinkedIn URL you provide, with your consent, for limited purposes of verifying the profession of users who cannot sign up using a corporate email address, and any information collected for an alternative verification process, excluding the email address, is securely deleted immediately upon your registration for the Services. In any case, your entity-related email address is immediately one-way indecipherably encrypted when you register for the Services, and only the encrypted value is stored, making it unable to be used for identifying individuals. Any information associated with an incomplete verification process will be deleted after 72 hours.

1.2. As You Use the Services. Information sent by your device or generated through your use of our Services may be collected. This includes device settings, internet activity details such as language preferences, pages or sections of Blind visited, search keywords, posts viewed, user comments, poll results, duration of use, and approximate user location information such as the metro area (excluding South Korea). Like many websites and services, we may use cookies, pixels, and similar technology.

1.3. Information from Third Parties. We may receive email addresses from third parties for the limited purpose of re-verifying the user's employment status. Additionally, we provide verification methods other than company email to facilitate sign-ups for users in specific companies or industries where email-only verification is difficult. In any case, any email information or encrypted values we receive are also one-way indecipherably encrypted, and only the encrypted value is stored. All submitted information, other than the above encrypted value, is securely deleted upon the expiration of the retention period specified in Section 3.

1.4. Content You Create. The content, replies, conversations, and images you post, publish, or transmit when using Blind.

1.5. Commercial Information. If you engage in a monetary transaction with us to purchase B Money in connection with our Services, you may be required to provide billing information, including your name, address, phone number, and credit card data. Please be advised that, while we will be able to assign specific quantities of B Money to your account, Teamblind utilizes third-party payment services to effectuate these transactions and will not have access to any of this billing information.

First of all, we do not retain any personally identifiable information of our users. Your entity-related email address is immediately one-way indecipherably encrypted when you register for the Services, and only the encrypted value is stored, making it unable to be used for identifying individuals. We store and/or process this encrypted information in the United States and Japan.

We use commercially reasonable safeguards and take reasonable steps to keep the information encrypted at all times so that the information will not be decrypted and accessible. Please be advised that our retention of all data and information obtained in connection with our Services is consistent with industry-accepted practices and industry security standards. We implement these security practices for the safekeeping of your data.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your account information and for controlling access to our Services at all times, as we are not able to decrypt and access your encrypted account information.

We do not have a physical presence in the European Union (EU), any EU-member country or any member of the European Economic Area (EEA).

Unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, we retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. User account data is deleted immediately upon account deletion. Even prior to account deletion, data is deleted once the purpose of its collection and use has been achieved. In particular, the email address is deleted and only one-way indecipherably encrypted values are stored immediately upon your registration for the Services. Any information collected for alternative verification, other than such encrypted value, is securely deleted immediately upon expiration of the retention period notified at the time of collection. Any information associated with an incomplete verification process will be deleted after 72 hours.

We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us and may use such information only for that purpose. These third parties are prohibited from using, sharing, or retaining your personal data for any secondary purposes, and their use of personal data will be subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures. The categories of third parties we may share personal information with are limited to data analytics services, ads providers, payment processors, and cloud computing services.

For personalized advertising, we may permit the advertising networks and their partners to use cookies or related technologies within the Service to read information from your browser or device so that they can optimize their advertising campaigns, including to frequency cap and deliver targeted ads. This may fall under the definition of sell or share under the CCPA/CPRA, for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising. To clarify the data flow and our commitment to user anonymity, the information is collected directly by the advertising networks and their partners from your device. This data is not stored in our server or subsequently used by us for profiling or any identification of the user.

We may access, preserve, and share part of information in response to a legal request such as a subpoena if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. We may also disclose information as necessary to protect the legal rights, property, or safety of our users, the public, and/or us. As mentioned above, the information that we can provide to such requests does NOT include any information that can be used to identify a specific individual.
