1. Introduction

Fallacy Labs, Inc. (doing business as Slab) ("Slab," "we" or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy (our “Privacy Policy”) describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit/use https://www.slab.com (“Website”), software, documentation, and related services (collectively, “Services”) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This policy applies to information we collect:

• through our Services;
• mobile and desktop applications;
• in email, text, and other electronic messages between you and Slab; and

It does not apply to information collected by:

• us or any of our affiliates or subsidiaries related to your or any other individual’s employment or potential employment with us; or

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is to not use our Services. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy). Your continued use of our Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

2. Children Under the Age of 18

By using our Services, you consent to the use of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you are not of legal age to form a binding contract (in many jurisdictions, this age is 18), you may only use the Services and disclose information to us with your parent’s or legal guardian’s express consent. Our Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. No one under age 13 may provide any information to or on the Website. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on our Website or on or through any of its features, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. If we learn we have collected or received Personal Data from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information directly from a child under 13, please contact us at support@slab.com.

3. Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It

Throughout this Privacy Policy, the term “Personal Data” or “Personal Information” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or device. However, Personal Information does not include any deidentified or aggregated information.

When registering to use the Services, we may require or ask you to provide certain personally identifiable information (these are referred to below as your “Personal Contact Information”). The Personal Contact Information that we require you to provide may include, but is not limited to, the following:

• E-mail
• Full name or alias (can be fictitious)
• Company name
• Company subdomain

We may also ask you to provide certain other Personal Contact Information, which is not required and you may decline to provide. Such information may include, but is not limited to:

• Profile picture
• Title
• Job description

When purchasing any of our Services, we will require you to provide financial and billing information, such as billing name and address, and credit card number (“Billing Information”). Your Personal Contact Information and your Billing Information, together with any other information we gather through the use of our Services that may be used to identify, contact, or locate you individually, are collectively referred to herein as your “Personal Information.”

We may use your Personal Information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send. While there are limited circumstances in which we may give third parties access to your Personal Information, the purposes of which are described below, we do not permit any third parties with whom we may share your Personal Information to contact you with their own marketing or promotional materials.

You may also be provided the ability to provide us with the name and email address of your coworkers to allow us to send them a referral link to sign up for our Services. Applicable law may require you obtain consent from your coworker before sharing their name and email address with us and authorizing us to communicate with them. Such communications may contain web beacons that provide us information about your coworkers’ interaction with the emails we send them. By submitting any third-party personal information to us and allowing us to communicate with such third party, you agree that you have all required authorization and consents required under applicable law.

You may be able to create, upload, publish, transmit, distribute, display, store or share information, data, text, graphics, video, messages or other materials using our Services (this is collectively referred to below as “Data”). Some of this Data may be stored and maintained on our servers.

If you run into technical errors in the course of using the Services, we may automatically obtain a crash report along with certain logging information from your system documenting the error (“Diagnostic Information”). Such information may contain information regarding your Operating System version, hardware, browser version, and your e-mail address, if provided. In some instances, we may request your permission to obtain some of your user-generated content to which the technical error may relate. This is strictly optional. We will only use such content to diagnose the error and help improve our Services to avoid such errors in the future.

Additionally, certain login information may be maintained in a cookie stored locally on your personal computing device (i.e. not on a server) in order to streamline the login process (“Login Information”).

As you use our Services, we may also collect information through the use of commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies, log files, Web tokens, and Web beacons. Collectively, this information is referred to as “Usage and Analytics Information.”

As you navigate through and interact with our Services, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain Personal Data about your interaction with our Services, including information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns:

• details of your interaction with our Services. This includes: browsing history, search history, traffic data, location data, logs, referring/exit pages, date and time of your interaction with our Services, error information, clickstream data, and other Services communication data and the resources that you access, use, or otherwise interact with while using our Services; and
• Information about your computer and internet connection, i.e., your IP address, operating system, and browser type.

The information we collect automatically may include Personal Data, or we may maintain it or associate it with Personal Data we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Services and to deliver a better and more personalized service by enabling us to:

• estimate our audience size and usage patterns;
• store information about your preferences;
• customize our Services according to your individual interests;
• speed up your searches; and
• recognize you when you return to our Services.

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. Our Services may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience with our Services. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Services. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you do not consent to our use of cookies or select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Services. You can find more information about cookies at https://www.allaboutcookies.org and http://youronlinechoices.eu.

Session Cookies. Our use of cookies also includes “session cookies.” Each time you access the Services, a session cookie containing an encrypted, unique identifier is placed on your browser. These session cookies allow us to uniquely identify you when you use the Services and track which pages of the Services you access. Session cookies are required to use the Services.

Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically to analyze trends in the aggregate and administer the Services. This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your browser type, the pages and files you viewed, your operating system, and date/time stamps associated with your usage. Due to internet communications standards, when you visit or use our websites and Services, We automatically receive the URL of the website from which you came and the website to which you go when you leave our website. This information is used to analyze overall trends, to help us improve the Services, to track and aggregate non-personal information, and to provide the Services. For example, we use IP addresses to monitor the regions from which customers and visitors navigate the Sites. We also collects IP addresses from customers when they log into the Services as part of the “IP Restriction” security feature as well as to maintain audit logs.

Web Beacons. Pages of our Services may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit Slab, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related Service statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain Service content and verifying system and server integrity).

4. How We Use Your Information

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any Personal Data:

• to provide and personalize our Services and their content to you;
• to provide you with information, products, or services that you request from us;

• to help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our Services, products and services, databases and other technology assets, and business;
• to detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, and prosecute those responsible for that activity;
• for internal testing, research, analysis, and product development, including to develop and improve our Services, and to develop, improve, or demonstrate our products and services;
• for debugging to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
• to notify you about changes to our Services or any products or services we offer or provide though them;
• in any other way we may describe when you provide the information;
• to fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it; and
• for any other purpose with your consent.

Please note that if you are registering for or using the Services as an administrator on behalf of an organization, you may be able to view the activity and/or content associated with your associated users’ use of the Services, including, but not limited to, their Personally Information.

If we plan to use your Personal Information in the future for any other purposes not identified above, we will only do so after informing you by updating this Privacy Policy.

5. Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We offer you choices on how you can opt out of our certain uses and sharing of your Personal Information. As a general rule, you cannot opt out of our collection, use and sharing of Personal Information to the extent it is necessary to provide the Service or related Services, features and functionality to you.

Please note that internet browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu of your internet browser. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies), you may not be able to access or use all or areas and aspects of our Services. You can change the cookie settings that will be placed when you use our Services by changing the settings on your browser. You can also block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies.

You can generally opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements from third party advertisers and ad networks who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising by visiting the opt out pages on the NAI website and DAA website.

We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can learn more about interest-based advertisements and your opt-out rights and options from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) on its platform (www.networkadvertising.org) and from members of the Digital Advertising Alliance on its platform (www.aboutads.info).

6. Do Not Track Signals

We also may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). Some web browsers permit you to broadcast a signal to websites and online services indicating a preference that they “do not track” your online activities. At this time, we do not support “Do Not Track”. Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

7. Disclosures and Transfers

We have put in place contractual and other organizational safeguards with our agents to ensure a proper level of protection of your Personal Information. In addition to those measures, we will not disclose or transfer your Personal Information to third parties without your permission, except as specified in this Privacy Policy.

Please note that if you are using the Services at the request or as part of an organization, your organization’s account administrator may be able to view certain activity and content associated with use of the Services, including, but not limited to, elements of your Personally Information.

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to—and maintained on— computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United States and process it there.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

From time to time we may employ third parties to help us provide and/or improve the Services. These third parties may have limited access to databases of user information or registered member information solely for the purpose of helping us to provide and/or improve the Services and they will be subject to contractual restrictions prohibiting them from using the information about our users for any other purpose. Such agents or third parties do not have any rights to use Personal Information beyond what is absolutely necessary to assist us.

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your Personal Information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

8. Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We ask you not to share sensitive information with us.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to any of our Services. Any transmission of Personal Data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures deployed on our Services.

9. Consent to Processing of Personal Data in the United States

In order to provide our Services, products, and services to you, we may send and store your Personal Data outside of the country where you reside or are located, including to countries that may not or do not provide an equivalent level of protection for your Personal Data. Your Personal Data may be processed and stored in the United States and federal, state, and local governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies in the United States may be able to obtain disclosure of your information through the laws of the United States. By using our Services, you represent that you have read and understood the above and hereby consent to the storage and processing of Personal Data outside the country where you reside or are located, including in the United States.

Your Personal Data is transferred by Slab to another country only if it is required or permitted under applicable data protection law and provided that there are appropriate safeguards in place to protect your Personal Data. To ensure your Personal Data is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy when we transfer it to a third party, Slab uses Data Protection Agreements or equivalent clauses between Slab and all other recipients of your Personal Data.

10. Accessing, Correcting, and Deleting Your Personal Data

You have the right to access the Personal Information we hold about you in order to verify the Personal Information we have collected in respect to you and to have a general account of our uses of that information. Upon receipt of your written request, we will provide you with a copy of your Personal Information, although in certain limited circumstances we may not be able to make all relevant information available to you, such as where that information also pertains to another user. In such circumstances we will provide reasons for the denial to you upon request. We will endeavor to deal with all requests for access and modifications in a timely manner.

We will make every reasonable effort to keep your Personal Information accurate and up-to-date, and we will provide you with mechanisms to correct, amend, delete or limit the use of your Personal Information. As appropriate, this amended Personal Information will be transmitted to those parties to which we are permitted to disclose your information.

11. Jurisdiction-Specific Privacy Rights

The law in some jurisdictions may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of Personal Data.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (California’s “Shine the Light” law) permits users of our Website that are California residents and who provide Personal Data in obtaining products and services for personal, family, or household use to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Data to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. If applicable, this information would include the categories of Personal Data and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared your Personal Data with for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2022 will receive information regarding such activities in 2021). You may request this information once per calendar year. To make such a request, please send an email to support@slab.com.

Personal Information

References to “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy are equivalent to “personal data” governed by European data protection legislation.

Controller

Slab is the controller of your personal information for purposes of European data protection legislation.

Lawful Basis for Data Processing

We will only collect, store, and process your personal information where a lawful basis for such processing exists, which will typically fall under one of the following scenarios:

1. You, the Data Subject, have given consent to the processing of your personal information for one or more specific purposes, for example by consenting to terms and conditions on our website, and consenting to the terms of this Privacy Policy;
2. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you, the Data Subject, are party;
3. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we as a Controller is subject;
4. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us as the Controller, or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of you, the Data Subject, which require protection of your personal information. The legitimate interests that underlie our processing of personal data include research and development, marketing and promoting the Services, and protecting our legal rights and interests.

Use for New Purposes

We may use your personal information for reasons not described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law and the reason is compatible with the purpose for which we collected it.

Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. For example, we keep account information for as long as the account is active, and for a reasonable period thereafter to ease reactivation if you choose to reactivate your account. If the Services are made available to you through an organization, e.g., your employer, we retain your information as long as required by the administrator of your account on their behalf.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your Rights

European data protection laws give you certain rights regarding your personal information. You may ask us to take the following actions in relation to your personal information that we hold:

• “Opt-out”. Stop sending you direct marketing communications. You may continue to receive Service-related and other non-marketing emails.
• “Access”. Provide you with information about our processing of your personal information and give you access to your personal information.
• “Correct”. Update or correct inaccuracies in your personal information.
• “Delete”. Delete your personal information.
• “Transfer”. Transfer a machine-readable copy of your personal information to you or a third party of your choice.
• “Object”. Object to our reliance on our legitimate interests as the basis of our processing of your personal information that impacts your rights.
• “Withdraw Consent”. If our processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time.

You may also have the right to make a GDPR complaint to the relevant Supervisory Authority. A list of Supervisory Authorities is available here.

You can submit these requests by email to: support@slab.com. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions. If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal information or response to your requests regarding your personal information, you may contact us as described in Section 13 of our Privacy Notice or submit a complaint to the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction. You can find your data protection regulator here.

Cross-Border Data Transfer

Whenever we transfer your personal information out of the EEA to countries not deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of personal information protection, the transfer will be based on either use of approved standard contractual clauses or one of the safeguards recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for personal information, where required by EU data protection legislation.

12. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy in the future, we will post or provide appropriate notice. Except as explained below, any non-material change (such as clarifications) to this Privacy Policy will become effective on the date the change is posted, and any material changes will become effective 30 days from their posting on Privacy Policy or via email to your listed email address. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all Personal Information that we have about you and your account. The date on which the latest update was made is indicated at the top of this document. We recommend that you print a copy of this Privacy Policy for your reference and revisit this policy from time to time to ensure you are aware of any changes. Your continued use of the Services signifies your acceptance of any changes.

If applicable law requires your opt in consent to any particular amendment to this Privacy Policy, the amendment will not apply to your Personal Information until we receive such consent from you. To the extent we cannot provide some or all of the Services without your consent to such amendment to the Privacy Policy, your decision not to consent may result in our having to limit your ability to use certain aspects of the Services.

13. Contact Information

If you have any questions, concerns, complaints, or suggestions regarding our Privacy Policy or the ways in which we collect and use your Personal Data described in this Privacy Policy, have any requests related to your Personal Data pursuant to applicable laws, or otherwise need to contact us, you may contact us at the contact information below or through the “Contact” page on our Website.
