1. About This Privacy Policy

A Nirvana Float “Subscriber” is the business or entity that purchased a subscription for the Services and entered into the Software Service Agreement. A “Visitor” is the business or individual considering, scheduling, and purchasing products and services from the Subscriber. Subscribers, Visitors, and other users of the Site are collectively referred to as “user” or “you“.

This Policy will serve as a default Privacy Policy for those Subscribers without their own Privacy Policy, but please be aware that you may be subject to the additional terms of any privacy policy that you may have with individual Subscribers. Subscribers’ Collected Information (as defined below) can be viewed by anyone logged onto the Subscriber’s account.

2. Personal Information on the Services

As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. Personal Information falls within certain categories, for example:

  • 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 information; 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.

Some information about you is not protected by law as Personal Information, for example publicly available information, aggregated information (meaning data summaries or reports with Personal Information removed), and anonymized information that cannot be linked back to an individual are often exempt categories of data from privacy protections.

3. Collected Information

When you use the Services, we may collect certain information directly from you with your consent or automatically or passively from your browser or device when you interact with the Services or from third parties to achieve our legitimate interest.

11. Notice of Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live or are located, the law may entitle you to certain rights over your Personal Information. In the United States, consumer privacy is governed by federal privacy laws covering specific industries or data uses and state privacy laws applicable in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Nevada, Utah, Virginia, and other states that require companies to inform consumers about their privacy rights and provide a method to exercise those rights. For users outside of the United States, this Privacy Policy meets the requirements under Australian and Canadian notice requirements as well as a notice of rights under the General Data Protection Regulation governing the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, respectively.

This section provides a courtesy list of privacy rights that may be available to you. We will facilitate the exercise of your privacy rights as described in this section. Some of these laws may not apply to Nirvana Float or the Services, in which case these notices are offered as a courtesy.

Right to Know and Expect. You have the right to know how we process your Personal Information and the right to expect that we will process it accordingly. We have set the required notices in this Privacy Policy.

Certain laws may limit the number or frequency of requests we must fulfill.

Limited Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to opt-out or limit our use of your sensitive Personal Information. Nirvana Float does not intend to collect or receive Personal Information about you that qualifies as sensitive Personal Information under privacy laws. In no case will we disclose any sensitive Personal Information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you or otherwise use your sensitive Personal Information without your consent. If this ever changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice and provide you with methods to opt-out or limit our use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Information.

No Selling or Sharing Personal Information. Some states entitle Consumers to opt-out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information or targeted advertising practices.

If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice and provide you with a method to opt-out.

No Profiling or Automated Decision-Making. You have the right to opt out of automated profiling or automated decision-making. Nirvana Float does not use automated decision-making or process your Personal Information to evaluate, analyze, or predict your interests and preferences or otherwise use automated profiling to produce significant effects that concern you. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice and provide you with a method to opt-out.

Right to Restrict or Object to Processing. You can request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Information if the data is inaccurate, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the Personal Information, or you exercise your right to object.

Please contact the Client to exercise your health data rights.

12. Consent to Cross-Border Data Transfers

Nirvana Float is owned and operated in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your Personal Information may be transferred to, processed, stored, and used in the United States or other jurisdictions. When your information is moved from your home country to another country, the laws and rules that protect your Personal Information in the country to which your information is transferred may be different from those of the country where you live. For example, if your information is in the United States, it may be accessed by government authorities under United States law. We are committed to transferring data in compliance with applicable legal standards. However, we do not warrant that our Services are appropriate or authorized for use in any other jurisdictions. Each Subscriber is solely responsible for determining whether its use of the Services, including collection and processing of the Subscriber’s user data, complies with applicable laws. By allowing us to collect Personal Information about you, you consent to the transfer and processing of your Personal Information as described in this section.

13. Security

Nirvana Float has implemented and maintains reasonable security measures to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. When users log in to the Services using the latest version of Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology protects Collected Information using both server authentication and data encryption. These technologies help provide safety and security for Collected Information and help to restrict its availability to the user to whom the information belongs and those to whom the user has granted access. Nirvana Float hosts its websites in a secure server environment that uses reasonable technology designed to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. Our security measures are appropriate to the volume, scope, and nature of the Personal Information processed and designed to meet our duty of care with respect to your Personal Information. Nevertheless, given the possibility of the unlawful interception of information, we cannot guarantee, and you should not expect that your information you provide to us will always remain private or secure. Should you suspect any misuse, loss of, or unauthorized access to your Personal Information, you should contact us immediately.

14. Third-Party Websites

Nirvana Float may also provide links to third-party websites, or you may wish to authorize us to connect with different online services to perform actions on your behalf. Please be aware that we have no control over third-party websites or services. Any use of third-party websites or services through our Services are for your convenience only and it is your responsibility to be aware of and comply with the various terms of use and privacy policies of such third parties.

15. Complaints and Disputes

If you have a complaint about our handling of your personal information, please let us know about the complaint and we will attempt to resolve the issue. If we are unable to resolve the issue to your satisfaction and you feel that your rights under the GDPR or applicable law have been infringed, you have the right to seek a judicial remedy. If we become aware of any unauthorized access to your Personal Information, we will inform you at the earliest practical opportunity once we have established what was accessed and how it was accessed.

16. Changes to this Privacy Statement

Please note this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will post any changes to the Site, and we strongly encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy, most importantly, before you provide us with any personal information.  Your continued use of the Services after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the changes, please do not continue using the Services.
