The Personal Information we may collect about you through the Services falls into the following general categories:

Certain parts of our Services may ask you to provide Personal Information voluntarily. For example, we may ask for certain information to use features in our Services, register an account with us, subscribe to marketing communications from us, improve our machine learning features and services, and/or submit inquiries to us, such as:

• Contact information (i.e., name, job title, affiliation, email, address, phone number, etc.)
• Payment information (i.e., card number, name, billing address, bank details, wire transfer information, etc.)
• Contact preferences (i.e., email preference)

• Voice samples and data that you upload to our Services or Website.
• Social media data used for logging in (i.e., Google, Facebook, etc.)
• Any information you submit to our customer service team in the Service or via email.

The Personal Information that you are asked to provide and the reasons why you are asked to provide it will be explained to you when we ask you to provide your Personal Information.

Personal Information that we receive automatically from your use of our Services

When you visit our Websites, use, and interact with the Services, we may receive certain information about your visit, use, or interactions, including the following:

• Voice Recording data: audio data with voice recording you input into our Services through the microphone or via the upload function. We may use your submitted voice recording data solely to improve our Services provided to you, and it will never be shared with anyone or any third parties for non-related purposes.
• Log data: Information that your browser automatically sends whenever you visit the Web (“log data”). Log data includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, and how you interacted with the Websites.
• Usage data: We may automatically collect information about your use of the Services, such as the types of content that you view or engage with, the features you use, and the actions you take, as well as your time zone, country, the dates and times of access, user agent and version, type of computer or mobile device, computer connection, IP address, and the like.
• Device information: Includes name of the device, operating system, and browser you are using. Information collected may depend on the type of device you use and its settings.
• Cookies: We use cookies to operate and administer our Websites and Services and improve your experience on them. You can set your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide whether to accept it each time. However, refusing a cookie may, in some cases preclude you from using, or negatively affect the display or function of, a website or certain areas or features of a website, including our Websites. Further information about how to disable cookies can be found on your Internet browser provider’s help screen.
• Analytics: We may use a variety of online analytics products that use cookies and other tracking features to help us analyze how users use the Websites and Services and enhance your experience when you use the Websites and Services.
• Online Tracking: We and our third-party service providers may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of the Websites.

Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy and follow its guidelines.

How we use your Personal Information

Disclosure of Data / Third Country Transfers

LOVO is a US company based in Berkeley, CA 94704 and operates globally. Therefore, your personal data may be transferred to and stored outside the country in which you are located. This includes the US and other countries outside the EEA. If we process your data outside the EEA, we ensure that the legal requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR for such a third country transfer are met and that your data is processed in accordance with the European data protection standard. If we use third-party tools that process your data outside the EEA, we usually use the so-called EU standard contractual clauses (SCC), which we conclude with the respective provider. In addition, in accordance with the requirements of the ECJ (“Schrems II”), a case-by-case risk analysis is carried out with regard to the respective third country transfer in order to ensure that your data is processed lawfully in the third country concerned and, in particular, that access to your data by state authorities is prevented.

They are to be distinguished from our own content. This third-party content does not originate from us, nor do we have any influence on the content of third-party sites. If you are forwarded to other pages via links within the website, please inform yourself there about the respective handling of your data.

We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Service, or Third-Party Sites.
