3. Personal Information OpenTeams Incubator Collects and How it is Used

As used in this policy, “personal information” means information that would allow someone to identify you, including your name, email address, IP address, or other information from which someone could deduce your identity.

OpenTeams Incubator collects and uses personal information in the following ways:

Website and Analytics: When you visit our Websites or use our Services, OpenTeams Incubator collects some information about your activities through tools such as Google Analytics and through our server logs. The type of information that we collect focuses on general information such as country or city where you are located, pages visited, time spent on pages, heat-map of visitors’ activity on the site, information about the browser you are using, etc. OpenTeams Incubator collects and uses this information pursuant to our legitimate interest in maintaining and enhancing the security and utility of our Services. The information we gather and process is used in the aggregate to spot trends without deliberately identifying individuals, except in cases where you affirmatively opt-in to providing us more individualized feedback about our Services, or where you engage in a transaction with OpenTeams Incubator or with one of our external business partners. In cases where you engage with one of our external business partners, OpenTeams Incubator retains certain information about your visit to the Services, including information about the referral site that led you to our Services, pursuant to its legitimate interest in understanding its community of users, and this information is stored in connection with other personal information you provide to OpenTeams Incubator.

Note that you can learn about Google’s practices in connection with its analytics services and how to opt out of it by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. If you would like to opt out of OpenTeams Incubator’s analytics, please contact legal@fabulytics.com with your request and to discuss your privacy options.

Information from Cookies: We and our service providers (for example, Google Analytics as described above) may collect information using cookies or similar technologies for the purposes described above and below. Cookies are pieces of information that are stored by your browser on the hard drive or memory of your computer or other Internet access device. Cookies may enable us to personalize your experience on the Services, maintain a persistent session, passively collect demographic information about your computer, and monitor advertisements and other activities. The Websites may use different kinds of cookies and other types of local storage (such as browser-based or plugin-based local storage).

Log-In Services: When you register to obtain a user account on any of the Services (any such person, a “Registered User”), you will be asked to provide personal information to create your account and establish a password and profile. OpenTeams Incubator collects and uses this personal information pursuant to its legitimate interest in establishing and maintaining your account providing you with the features we provide Registered Users. We may use your email address to contact you regarding changes to this policy or other applicable policies. The name or nickname you provide in connection with your account may be used to attribute you in connection with any content you submit to any Service. In addition, whenever you use a OpenTeams Incubator Login Service to log into a Website or use the Services, our servers keep a plain text log of the Websites you visit and when you visit them.

Emails and Newsletters: When you sign up to receive updates from OpenTeams Incubator or otherwise subscribe to one of our mailing lists, you will be asked to provide some personal information. OpenTeams Incubator collects and uses this personal information pursuant to its legitimate interest in providing news and updates to, and collaborating with, its users. You may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each newsletter.

Email Analytics: When you receive communications from OpenTeams Incubator after signing up for the OpenTeams Incubator newsletter, or other ongoing email communications from OpenTeams Incubator, we use analytics to track whether you open the mail, click on the links, and otherwise interact with what we send. You may opt out of this tracking by choosing to get plain-text emails from OpenTeams Incubator. OpenTeams Incubator collects and uses this personal information pursuant to its legitimate interest in understanding the interests of its community of users in order to provide more relevant news and updates.

Funding and Engagement Opportunities: When you apply for a scholarship, grant, job, or funding through the Services, or when you apply to be selected to engage with one of our business partners, OpenTeams Incubator will collect certain personal information from you in order for our business partners to evaluate and process your application as necessary. OpenTeams Incubator collects and uses this personal information pursuant to its legitimate interest in providing services to its users and business partners and in order to comply with its legal obligations under applicable law. We will share that information with the people who are designated to select participants in, and help manage, those applications, which may include people not employed by OpenTeams Incubator.

Other Voluntarily Provided Information: When you provide feedback to OpenTeams Incubator, or otherwise submit personal information to OpenTeams Incubator, OpenTeams Incubator collects and uses this personal information pursuant to its legitimate interest in better understanding our community of users and in furtherance of the particular program or activity to which you provided feedback or other input.

4. Retention of Personal Information

The majority of the personal information collected and used as explained in Section 3 above is aggregated and stored in a central database provided by a third party service provider. OpenTeams Incubator aggregates this data pursuant to its legitimate interest in having information stored in a single location to minimize complexity, increase consistency in internal practices, better understand its community of users, and enhance the security of the data.

OpenTeams Incubator erases the web browser logs described above on a regular, rolling basis. We generally retain other personal information for the purposes for which it was collected. This may mean that we retain your personal information indefinitely in some cases.

5. Access to Your Personal Information

You are generally entitled to access and transfer to a third party any personal information that OpenTeams Incubator holds and to have inaccurate data corrected or removed to the extent OpenTeams Incubator still maintains it. In certain circumstances, you also may have the right to object or restrict for legitimate reasons to the processing or transfer of personal information. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please write to legal@fabulytics.com explaining your request. You also have the right to go directly to the relevant supervisory or legal authority, but we encourage you to contact us so that we may resolve your concerns directly as best we can.

6. Disclosure of Your Personal Information

OpenTeams Incubator does not disclose personal information to third parties except as specified elsewhere in this policy and in the following instances:
OpenTeams Incubator may share personal information with our contractors and service providers in order to undertake the activities described in Section 3.We may disclose your personal information to third parties in a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take action regarding suspected illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Master Terms and this Privacy Policy, or (c) comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.
7. Security of Your Personal Information

OpenTeams Incubator has implemented reasonable physical, technical, and organizational security measures for personal information that OpenTeams Incubator processes against accidental or unlawful destruction, or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, in compliance with applicable law. However, no website can fully eliminate security risks. Third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. If any data breach occurs, we will post a reasonably prominent notice to the Websites and comply with all other applicable data privacy requirements including, when required, personal notice to you if you have provided and we have maintained an email address for you.

The OpenTeams Incubator Login Services account systems have security risks in addition to those described above. Among other things, they are vulnerable to DNS attacks, and using any OpenTeams Incubator Login Service may increase the risk of phishing.

8. Children

The Services are not directed at children under the age of 13. Consistent with the U.S. federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring parental consent. Our Master Terms specifically prohibit anyone using our Services from submitting any personally identifiable information about persons under 13 years of age. Any person who provides their personal information to OpenTeams Incubator through the Services represents that they are 13 years of age or older.

9. Third Party Service Providers

OpenTeams Incubator uses many third party service providers in connection with the Services, including website hosting services, database management, and many more. Some of these service providers may place session cookies on your computer, and they may collect and store your personal information on our behalf in accordance with the data practices and purposes explained above in Section 3.

10. Third Party Sites

The Services may provide links to a wide variety of third party websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other websites.

11. Location of Services

If you are accessing or using the Services in regions with laws governing data collection, processing, transfer and use, please note that when we use and share your data as specified in this policy, we may transfer your information to recipients in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information.

The Services are currently hosted in the United States, but some of your personal information may be located on servers outside of the United States. This may change from time to time. The majority of contractors that OpenTeams Incubator is using as of the effective date of this Privacy Policy are located in the United States, but this may change from time to time.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date below. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are protecting, using, processing and transferring the personal information we collect.
