General Data Protection Regulation
This Company is headquartered in Washington. However, our Website does not restrict visitors from the EU; we do not have in place any protections to prevent EU residents from accessing our Website. As a result, we provide the foregoing disclosure to EU data subjects.

By means of this Privacy Policy, our Company would like to inform you of the nature, scope, and purpose of the Personal Information we collect, use, and process as defined herein. Specifically, if you are an EU data subject visiting our Website, you are hereby informed by means of this section of our Privacy Policy of the rights to which you are entitled and the recourse you may seek if you have any questions regarding the collection, use, and processing of Personal Information by the Company. You may email us with requests at hello@passcould.ai.

Data Controller
The Company is the “data controller” as defined under the GDPR or the legal entity which determines the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Information of the customers of the Company and visitors to its Website.

Data Processor
The Company is the “data processor" as defined under the GDPR or the legal entity which processes, as this term is defined here in footnote 1, your Personal Information.

It has effective policies and procedures in place. If you have questions regarding the processing of your Personal Data, you may contact us at hello@passcould.ai.
Data Protection Officer
The Company is not formally required to designate a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) because it is not:

- An organization that carries out large-scale processing of special categories of data such as health information or information about criminal convictions.
Breach
The Company has reasonable internal policies and procedures in place to effectively detect, report, and investigate a data breach. The GDPR defines a Personal Information breach as “a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Information.” Pursuant to the GDPR, the Company will notify you of a Personal Information breach where the Personal Information breaches are likely to present a risk to data subjects, to data protection authorities (“DPAs”) without undue delay and within 72 hours if feasible after becoming aware of the breach; and communicate high-risk breaches to affected data subjects without undue delay. In the unfortunate event of breach, the Company shall provide you with:
- Contact details of the DPO or other contact person for the Company
- A description of the nature of the breach
- Likely consequences of the breach
- Measures the Company has taken or proposes to take to address the breach
- Advice on steps data subjects can take to protect themselves.
Note: Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
The Company is not required to undergo a DPIA because it does not carry out processing that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.
Information Collection and Use
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Services, to administer your use of the Services, and to enable you to enjoy and easily navigate our Website.
Information You Provide
When you register with us through the Services or when you choose to create an account, we will ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, email address, and home and business postal addresses. If you use our Services to send information to another person, we will store the information you provide in order to allow you and your recipients access to that information.
Use of Information
We use your Personal Information mainly to provide the Services and administer your inquiries. We may also use your Personal Information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications.
Log Data
When you visit the Website, whether as a registered user or a non-registered user just browsing (any of these, a “User”), our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Website, pages of our Website that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Website, access times and dates, and other statistics.
Cookies
Like many websites, we use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we utilize persistent cookies to save your login information for future logins to the Website. Second, we utilize session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Website, to better understand how you interact with the Website, and to monitor aggregate usage by Users and web traffic routing on the Website.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Passcloud Inc. does not sell your Personal Information. We may share your Personal Information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy. We may also disclose your Personal Information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (i) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on us; or (ii) to protect and defend the rights or property of Passcloud Inc. or users of the Services.
Business Transfers
Passcloud Inc. may sell, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. You will have the opportunity to opt-out of any such transfer if the new entity’s planned processing of your information differs materially from that set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. We will notify you of any changes to our Privacy Policy by posting the new Privacy Policy on our Website. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes.
