Loopio Inc., together with its subsidiaries, affiliates, and related entities (collectively “Loopio”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, as applicable) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the Personal Data (as defined below), that is entrusted with us.

Loopio provides a software as a service (SaaS) platform that assists companies in curating, reviewing, maintaining and accessing a library of content for responding to requests for proposals (RFPs), request for information (RFIs), due diligence questionnaires (DDQs), and security questionnaires (SQs), collectively the (“Services”). Loopio’s Services provide technology that empowers its Users to deliver their own services, which requires at times processing confidential information, including Personal Data.

SCOPE

This Privacy Policy (this “Policy“) is intended to describe how we collect, use, store, and share Personal Data from prospects, customers, suppliers, business partners, website visitors, candidates and other individuals (collectively “User”, “you”, or “your”) to manage our relationship with you and fulfill our obligations to you through the use of the Services (as defined below) and/or your interactions with Loopio. This Policy also describes your rights regarding the Personal Data that you provide us and how you can withdraw consent, and access, correct, and request erasure of your Personal Data.

For purposes of this Policy, “Personal Data” is defined as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as may be defined, or limited under applicable privacy legislation.

Our use of your Personal Data is treated in accordance and in compliance with applicable privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the UK Data Protection Act, the Information Technology Act, 2000 (read with Information (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011), and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).

By using or accessing our Services, our websites (including downloading content), registering for an event we are hosting, applying for a job with us or otherwise generally interacting/communicating with us, you acknowledge that we will collect, use and share your Personal Data as described in this Policy. If you do not agree to any of the provisions set out in this Policy, then you should not provide your Personal Data to us.

WHAT WE COLLECT

In order to provide you with the Services and to carry out our other contractual obligations to you, we may be required to collect, store, transfer and use the following categories of Personal Data:

  • General Contact Information: First name, last name, username (or similar identifier), business billing addresses, business telephone number, business title and business email addresses.

You agree to not provide us with any sensitive Personal Data (as defined by applicable privacy laws).

To the extent the CCPA applies to you, you shall be deemed the “business” and Loopio will be deemed the “service provider”.

If you are applying for a job or otherwise interacting with Loopio beyond the use of the Services (i.e., accessing our website), you will be deemed the “Data Controller” and Loopio will be deemed the “Data Processor”.

CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS

Where applicable law permits, we may be required to transfer your Personal Data to the United States and other jurisdictions, as necessary to perform the Services and for the purposes set out in this Policy. We shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the same level of data protection as provided by us, is adhered to by the organization to whom such Personal Data is transferred. However, the measures that we use to protect Personal Data are subject to the legal requirements of the jurisdictions to which we transfer Personal Data, including lawful requirements to disclose information to law enforcement and government agencies in those countries.

DATA RETENTION

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your Personal Data 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.

Under some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data (“Anonymized Data”) so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent. This Anonymized Data does not directly identify and could not reasonably be used to identify any specific individual and we use this Anonymized Data to understand, develop, improve, and market our Services, and it may be used or shared with third parties for any lawful purpose.

RIGHT OF ACCESS, CORRECTION, ERASURE, AND OBJECTION

It is important that the Personal Data we hold about you is accurate, current, and complete. Please keep us informed of any changes to your Personal Data. By law you have the right to request access to and request us to correct the Personal Data that we hold about you or withdraw your consent to the use of your Personal Data under certain circumstances. If you are no longer an active customer or are no longer interacting with Loopio, we may need to request specific information from you to help us respond to your request.

Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the Personal Data that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, erased, or made your Personal Data anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices. If we cannot provide you with access to your Personal Data, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
