1. PERSONAL INFORMATION

As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means 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 consumer or household. To give you a sense of scope, below are examples of categories of information that is legally protected as Personal Information:

  • Identifiers (e.g., name, email, telephone number, address, username);
  • Sensitive Personal Information (e.g., government identification number; precise geolocation; racial or ethnic origin; religious beliefs; health data; contents of messages when we are not the recipient; in some cases, information about a known child);
  • Legally protected information (e.g., race, citizenship, marital status, sex);
  • Employment-related information (e.g., current or past employment);
  • Non-public educational information, including information protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. § 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99);
  • Biometrics (e.g., DNA, face/voice prints, health data) and audio, electronic, visual, thermal, or olfactory information;
  • Commercial information (e.g., products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies);
  • Internet or other similar activity (e.g., browsing history; content interactions); and
  • Inferences drawn from Personal Information to create a profile about preferences, characteristics, trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, and aptitudes.

The above list is for example purposes only. LifeHikes limits its collection of Personal Information to what is necessary to provide the Services. LifeHikes does not collect all of the above categories of Personal Information. Also, not all information about you is legally protected as Personal Information. Depending on where you live, publicly available information, aggregated information (meaning data summaries or reports with Personal Information removed), employment-related information, or anonymized information (that cannot be linked back to you as an individual) may not qualify as “Personal Information.”

2. CLIENTS AND TEAM MEMBERS

Clients that have contracted with LifeHikes to receive our Professional Services (“Clients”) and their employees, contractors, agents, participants, and other end users of Client (“Team Members”) use the Services on a business-to-business basis. Each Client determines how it will use the Services and which Team Members will take part in the Services. LifeHikes only collects Personal Information about Team Members as a service provider to the Client and subject to the Client’s practices and policies. The Client is responsible for its own privacy practices, including how Personal Information about its Team Members is processed by and through the Services. The Client is responsible for giving Team Members adequate notice of the Services and obtaining Team Members’ consent for their participation in the Services and any processing of the Team Members’ Personal Information that may occur by or through the Services. Team Members should contact the Client with any questions about their Personal Information related to the Services.

3. LIFEHIKES’ PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The Personal Information we collect about you and the manner of collection depends on how you interact with the Services. When you submit Personal Information to LifeHikes for us to process directly, we process that Personal Information as a controller. If we process Personal Information on behalf of our Clients, we do so as a service provider or processor to that Client. In all cases, LifeHikes limits the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of Personal Information to what is necessary to accomplish the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or notified at the time of collection, or as authorized by you directly or through the Client.

1. Categories of Personal Information Collected

During the preceding 12 months, LifeHikes has collected these categories of Personal Information:

  • Identifiers;
  • Employment information;
  • Internet or other similar activity; and
  • Other categories when instructed as a service provider to a Client.

We will notify you before we collect additional categories of Personal Information or use your Personal Information for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose stated at the time of collection.

2. Collection and Use of Personal Information

LifeHikes will only collect, use, retain, and disclose Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy, and only as reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide the Services or for other purposes stated in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection. LifeHikes collects Personal Information from these sources:

  • Account Registration. If you register to use our online portal or create an account on our mobile application, you will submit your name, email address, username, and password when prompted. You may also have the option to submit your username, gender, date of birth, company, title, physical address, and/or a short biographical statement. We collect this information with your consent, and we use it to provide your account and your access to selected platform and other Services.
  • Event Registration. When you register to attend the LifeHikes Global Summit or another event we host or sponsor, we collect your name, job title, company name, email address, phone number and other information necessary to provide you with access to the event. We may also use this information to communicate with you about our Services.
  • Provided By Clients. When we provide Professional Services to a Client, LifeHikes sometimes receives Personal Information from the Client about the Client’s Team Members (e.g., contact information, employment information, or other details). LifeHikes collects and uses this Personal Information as a service provider to the Client and subject to the Client’s instructions.
  • From a Client’s End User or Participant. If instructed by a Client, LifeHikes will provide Professional Services to one or more of the Client’s Team Members. This may include, for example, access to the online portal or mobile application, participation in surveys or analyses, or group or individual coaching, facilitation, or other sessions. In each case, LifeHikes will collect any information disclosed by the Client or its end user(s) or participant(s) during Professional Services sessions. We use this information to provide the contracted Professional Services. LifeHikes collects and uses this Personal Information as a service provider to the Client and subject to the Client’s instructions.

  • Artificial Intelligence, as a service provider to the Client. LifeHikes may use artificial intelligence technology (“AI”) to process data input to the Services by the Client and its end user or participant, including data collected during Professional Services sessions. LifeHikes uses AI to provide AI-generated outputs to enhance the quality of our Services. Any use of AI-generated outputs by the Client is subject to the Client’s privacy practices, not ours.

By participating in a session or otherwise using our Services, you consent to LifeHikes processing your Personal Information using AI tools.
  • Automatically when you use our Services, with a legitimate interest. When you visit the Website or use our online portal or mobile application, we collect technical data about your device and session (e.g., IP address, browser type, generalized geolocation, language, session connection and disconnection time, bandwidth and referring URL) to provide you with technical support and to analyze and improve our Services.

  • No Children’s Personal Information. The Services are designed for use by adults, not children. If we discover that a child under 18 has provided LifeHikes with their Personal Information, we will delete their information from our systems. If you believe we might have any information collected online from a child under 18, or if you become aware of any unauthorized submission of information to us, please contact us at privacy@lifehikes.com.
  • If a Client permits a child to provide Personal Information through the Services, that Client does so according to its own privacy practices, not ours. Please contact the Client with any questions about children’s privacy.
  • Other Uses of Personal Information. In addition to the specific uses described above, we may use Personal Information to (a) provide, administer, maintain, improve, or analyze the Services; (b) communicate with our Clients or others; (c) develop new services, products, or features; (d) prevent fraud, criminal activity, or misuse of our Services, or protect the security of our information systems; (e) comply with legal obligations or protect our rights and the rights of others; or (f) support or carry out a business transition or transfer.

  • Data collected through cookies may be retained for a few minutes or for several months, depending on the cookie’s purpose and functionality.
  • Correspondence and support requests will be retained while your account is active and is deleted when we no longer require the data for our internal business purposes.

Personal Information will be deleted when we no longer require it for the purpose of its collection or within 14 business days of your written request for deletion, whichever occurs first. We may also retain Personal Information for other purposes that are compatible with the original purpose of collection or as informed by our company retention policies. LifeHikes reserves the right to also retain and use Personal Information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We endeavor to respond to privacy requests in accordance with the requirements of the law applicable to your jurisdiction. If we do not fulfill your request within the legally required timeline, you can appeal our response by contacting privacy@lifehikes.com.

8. CONSENT TO CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS
