NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA AND VIRGINIA RESIDENTS.

This section provides additional details about the personal information we collect about California and Virginia residents and the rights afforded to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”). Please note that the CCPA does not apply to what is referred to as nonpublic personal information collected by financial institutions (like Neptune), as that information is subject instead to other financial privacy laws. Additionally, the VCDPA does not apply to any Neptune entities that are financial institutions. As a result, the CCPA and VCDPA do not apply to most of the information that Neptune collects.

Subject to certain limitations and exceptions, the CCPA and VCDPA provide California and Virginia residents, respectively, with certain rights. Depending on the state in which you are a resident, you may have the right to:

Confirm whether Neptune processes your personal information;
Correct inaccurate personal information;
Request details (in a readily usable format) about the categories and specific elements of personal information we collect;
Delete your personal information;
Opt out of any sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling for certain decisions (as these terms are defined in the CCPA and/or VCDPA); and
Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

We collect the following categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name, email address and IP address), Internet or other electronic network activity information (such as engagement with promotional messages and ads), and inferences (such as gender, based on your first name). For California residents, the preceding list reflects Neptune’s processing in the past 12 months.

California and Virginia residents may make a request to exercise rights under the CCPA and VCDPA, respectively, that are not otherwise exempt under applicable law. If you are a Neptune app user, a request may be made by logging into your Neptune account, navigating to the Security and Privacy menu, and selecting the option to either Download Personal Data or Request Data Deletion. You may also request assistance by sending an email to support@aiime.com. We may verify the request by asking you to provide information that matches information we have on file about you. You can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on your behalf, but we will require proof that the person is authorized to act on your behalf and may also still ask you to verify your identity with us directly. If you are a Virginia resident and Neptune is unable to satisfy your request to exercise a right available to you under the VCDPA, you are entitled to appeal our decision by emailing support@aiime.com. ‍

CHILDREN.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 18 on these Services. In the event we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under age 18, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under 18, please contact us at to support@aiime.com.

TRANSFER OF INFORMATION.

Our Services are currently designed for use only in the United States.

This Privacy Policy will evolve with time, and when we update it, we will revise the “Effective Date” above and post the new Policy and, in some cases, we provide additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website or sending you a notification).
