Transfers of Personal Data outside Europe
The Services are hosted and operated in the United States through Clarifai and its service providers, and laws in the United States may differ from the laws where you reside. By using the Services, you acknowledge that any Personal Data about you, regardless of whether provided by you or obtained from a third party, is being provided to Clarifai in the United States and will be hosted on United States servers and accessible in the United States and Estonia. Wherever Clarifai transfers Personal Data outside Europe, we take measures to ensure such transfers are made in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). These measures include implementing standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission and UK authorities with our Customers and service providers, and implementing additional safeguards as necessary.
Although we do not rely on it as a transfer mechanism under the GDPR, Clarifai has certified to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework set forth by the United States Department of Commerce regarding the collection and use of Personal Data transferred from the EU, and to the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework set forth by the United States Department of Commerce regarding the collection and use of Personal Data transferred from Switzerland. For more information about the Privacy Shield Program, and to view Clarifai’s certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov. Clarifai is committed to the Privacy Shield Principles of (1) notice, (2) consent, (3) accountability for onward transfer, (4) security, (5) data integrity and purpose limitation, (6) access and (7) recourse, enforcement and liability with respect to all Personal Data received from within the EU or Switzerland in reliance on the Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield Principles require that we remain potentially liable if any third party processing Personal Data on our behalf fails to comply with these Privacy Shield Principles (except to the extent we are not responsible for the event giving rise to any alleged damage). Clarifai’s compliance with the Privacy Shield is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the United States Federal Trade Commission.
Please contact us at privacy@clarifai.com with any questions or concerns relating to our Privacy Shield Certification. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your Privacy Shield-related complaint from us, or if we have not resolved your complaint, you may also resolve a Privacy Shield-related complaint through: JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States. You can visit https://www.jamsadr.com/ for more information or to file a complaint, at no cost to you. Under certain conditions, you may also be entitled to invoke binding arbitration for complaints not resolved by other means. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.
We may be required to disclose Personal Data that we handle under the Privacy Shield in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Clarifai will use reasonable efforts to deactivate your account and the related information at your request as soon as reasonably possible. If you wish for further deletion of your Personal Data, you will need to clearly state that you are requesting deletion of all of your Personal Data, and not just deletion of your account. Please note, however, that Clarifai reserves the right to retain information from deactivated or deleted accounts, including to comply with law, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, enforce the Agreement and take other actions permitted by law.

You must promptly notify us if any of your account data is lost, stolen or used without permission.
Data Retention
We retain Personal Data about you for as long as you have an open account with us or as otherwise necessary to provide Services to you or the Service User that provided us with your Personal Data. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, for example if we retain your Personal Data to train our models and algorithms, to improve our Services, or if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, and as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation, or if you or the Service User that provided us with your Personal Data have given us express consent to retain Personal Data for longer. We may also further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, but we will alert you to any material changes by placing a notice on the https://www.clarifai.com/ website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, then your use of the Services is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time.
