(“Unico,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses personal information about you and explains your data privacy rights. Personal information (sometimes referred to as personal data or personally identifiable information) means any information that directly or indirectly identifies you or is reasonably capable of being associated with you or your household. This Privacy Notice applies to personal information we collect online and offline, such as when you use our website, utilize our identity verification services, conduct business dealings with us, or otherwise interact with us (collectively, our “Services”). We collect and process personal information only as reasonably necessary and proportionate to fulfill our Services or for other purposes described in this Privacy Notice. We also outline our handling of sensitive personal information, which is subject to additional protections under applicable data privacy laws. Please note that this Privacy Notice is directed at individuals residing and using the Services in the United States. We may provide different or additional notices regarding our privacy practices for personal information collection outside the scope of this Privacy Notice, in which case this Privacy Notice will not apply. This includes situations where you reside outside the United States or use services not covered under this Privacy Notice. We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the revision date at the top of this Privacy Notice. We encourage you to review this Privacy Notice regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you. ### I. Notice at collection This section describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information. #### A. Collection of Personal Information **1. Personal Information You Provide to Us** * We collect personal information that you provide directly to us. For example, we collect personal information when you sign up for our identity verification services, visit our website, or conduct business dealings with us. The types of personal information we may collect directly from you include: * Information about yourself: We may collect certain identifiers and information about you, such as name, phone number, date of birth, gender, marital status, business name, email address, postal address, and other similar identifiers. * Professional or employment-related information: We may collect information regarding the company you work for and your title. * Sensitive personal information: We may collect certain personal information considered sensitive under applicable privacy laws, such as biometric information (specifically, facial scans). We will always obtain your consent before processing your sensitive personal information, and you may withdraw it at any time by reaching out to us at [privacy.us@unico.io](mailto:privacyus@unico.io). To learn more about how we collect and process your biometric information, please see our [Unico Biometric Data Policy](https://devcenter.unico.io/privacy/usa/policies/unico-biometric-data-policy). **2. Personal Information We Collect Automatically** We automatically collect certain personal information about your interactions with us or our Services, including: * Activity information: We collect information about your activity on our Services, such as when you transact with a client that uses our solutions for identity verification and fraud prevention. * Device and usage information: We collect information about how you access our Services, including data about the device and network you use, such as your hardware model, operating system version, mobile network, IP address, unique device identifiers, browser type, and app version. We also collect information about your activity on our Services, such as access times, pages viewed, links clicked, and the page you visited before navigating to our Services. * Information collected by cookies and similar tracking technologies: We and third parties that control the collection of personal information use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to collect information about you. For more information, visit our [Cookie Policy](https://devcenter.unico.io/privacy/usa/policies/cookies-policy). Please note that some web browsers incorporate 'Do Not Track' features. Most of these features, when enabled, send a signal or preference to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Unico recognizes and processes universal opt-out signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), in compliance with applicable state privacy laws, including the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, and other state laws requiring recognition of such signals. **3. Personal Information We Collect from Other Sources** We obtain personal information from other sources. For example, to verify your identity, we may collect information about you from identity verification providers or public government records. We may receive your phone number from our client, the company with which you are transacting. That company is responsible for collecting your phone number in accordance with applicable laws. We use this information to send you a text message containing a link to initiate our identity verification services. **4. Personal Information We Derive** We may derive personal information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect. For example, we may infer aspects of your identity or device location based on device usage data, precise geolocation, or facial scan data processed during verification. #### B. Purpose and Use of Personal Information * We may use the categories of personal information identified in Section I.A above for the following purposes: * Provide, maintain, and improve our Services; * Develop and enhance solutions for the purposes for which your personal information was collected; * Conduct business dealings with our partners, service providers, contractors, or processors; * Process transactions and send you related information, including confirmations and customer experience surveys; * Personalize and improve your experience on our Services, including analyzing interface interactions to resolve errors and improve usability; * Send you technical notices, security alerts, and support and administrative messages; * Respond to your comments and questions and provide customer service; * Communicate with you about products, services, and events offered by Unico and others and provide news and information that we think will interest you (see Your choices in Section III below for information about how to opt out of these communications at any time); * Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services; * Detect, investigate, and prevent security incidents and other malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity and protect the rights and property of Unico and others; * Debug to identify and repair errors in our Services; * Comply with our legal and financial obligations; and * Carry out any other purpose described to you at the time the information was collected. * Sensitive personal information - such as biometric information (e.g., facial scans) - will be processed strictly for limited purposes, including generating the unique human token for identity verification, providing requested goods or services, detecting and preventing security incidents, protecting against fraudulent or illegal activity, and ensuring system quality and safety. #### C. Disclosure of Personal Information * We may disclose your personal information in the following circumstances or as otherwise described in this Privacy Notice. To learn more about the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information we disclose and the categories of recipients, please refer to the summary sections below. * Our Service Providers, contractors, and processors: We may disclose your personal information to service providers, contractors, and processors who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud storage, identity verification, messaging, and technical support. * Sale or sharing of Personal Information: We do not sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising purposes. * Legal disclosures: We may disclose personal information when required by law, regulation, or a valid subpoena, or when necessary to protect or defend our legal rights. * Disclosed to advisors and lawyers: We may disclose personal information to our lawyers and other professional advisors. * Disclosed during change of ownership: We may disclose personal information in connection with, or during negotiations for, any merger, sale of assets, financing, or business acquisition. * Among our family of companies: Personal information may be shared across Unico and our current or future parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, and entities under common control. * With your consent: We may disclose personal information with your consent or at your direction. * Disclosure of non-personal information: We may also use and disclose aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably identify you. When doing so, we commit to maintaining and using the information in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify it unless permitted or required by law. #### D. Retention of Personal Information We store personal information for as long as necessary to carry out the purposes for which we originally collected it and for other legitimate business purposes, including to meet our legal, regulatory, or other compliance obligations. For biometric information retention periods, please refer to [Unico Biometric Data Policy](https://devcenter.unico.io/privacy/usa/policies/unico-biometric-data-policy). Unico will otherwise maintain personal information by assessing how long it needs to keep the information based on the following criteria: (1) your continued interest or use of our Services; (2) contractual obligations we are subject to; and (3) for defending or asserting legal claims. ### II. Analytics We allow third parties to provide analytics services on our behalf. These entities may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to collect information about your use of our Services, including your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in mobile apps, links clicked, and conversion metrics. We use this information to analyze usage trends, determine content popularity, and better understand your online activity. ### IV. Children This website and our Services are not intended for or directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect, sell, share, use for targeted advertising, or disclose personal information from children under 18 years of age. ### VI. Automated Processing Unico provides identity verification and fraud prevention services using automated processing. When using our Services, you capture a selfie photograph from which we scan facial geometry. From this facial scan, we generate a unique human token, a one-way cryptographic representation used to verify your identity. This human token cannot be reverse-engineered to reconstruct your facial image or facial scan, nor can it be used to identify you outside of our system. We also perform liveness detection to verify that your selfie represents a live individual rather than a photograph, video, mask, or spoofing attempt. Unico does not conduct profiling to evaluate personal characteristics, preferences, or traits. The human token generation process is automated and operates without manual human review, unless required by our client (the organization with which you are transacting) or during routine audits. We perform continuous testing to ensure external factors do not adversely affect system accuracy. If you have questions regarding verification outcomes, please contact us at . Please note that Unico does not make decisions regarding the provision or denial of services that produce legal or other similarly significant effects. ### VII. Your Privacy Rights #### A. Summary of Your Privacy Rights Depending on your state of residence, U.S. data privacy laws may grant you specific rights regarding your personal information: * Service Provider Role: Regarding the "human token" generated for identity verification, Unico acts strictly as a service provider on behalf of our clients (the data controllers). Requests regarding human token data should be directed to the organization with which you transacted. * Federal Law Exemptions: Data processed under federal laws such as HIPAA or GLBA is governed by those specific regulations and our clients' privacy policies, not state privacy laws. * Access & Confirm: Confirm whether we process your personal data and request access to it, including details about biometric information and third-party disclosures. * Correction & Deletion: Request correction of inaccurate personal information or request deletion of your personal data. * Opt-Out Rights: Opt out of profiling or automated decision-making. (Note: Unico does not sell your personal data or share it for targeted advertising). * Sensitive Data Controls: Limit or opt out of the processing of sensitive personal information (such as facial scans), subject to identity verification requirements. * Non-Discrimination & Appeal: Exercise your rights without discrimination, and appeal any decision if we decline to fulfill a privacy request. #### B. Exercising Your Rights, Appeals & Authorized Agents To exercise your privacy rights, request an appeal, or submit a request as an authorized agent, email us at . We will verify your identity (or agent authority) and respond within required legal timeframes (typically 30–45 days). If an appeal is denied, you may contact your state Attorney General. #### C. California Shine the Light Disclosure California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their information is shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us at . ### X. Contact us If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at .
