Nullafi Privacy Policy

Last Updated February 15, 2022

Your privacy is of the utmost importance to Joinesty Inc., doing business as Nullafi ( “Nullafi”, or “us” or “we”) and we take our obligations regarding your privacy seriously.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose, and share, or otherwise process your personally identifiable information (“PII” or “personal data“) when you access or use our website www.Nullafi.com (“Website“), access or use our services, interact or participate in our programs, training, events and our other services offerings (collectively, the “Services”). 

For clarity, this Privacy Policy does not apply to your use of our licensed on-prem software (“Software”) once it is downloaded to your servers. Our licensed software does not communicate with Nullafi and we have no means to connect to the Software or means to extract any information from the Software.  

Otherwise, the categories of information we collect will depend on your interactions with us.

  1. Consent

By using our Services, you agree to the terms and conditions contained in this Privacy Policy and you expressly consent to the processing of your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to any of these terms and conditions, or approve of Nullafi’s data practices as explained herein, then you should immediately cease all use of our Services. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute over privacy or the terms contained in this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, or any other agreement we have with you, will be governed by the laws of the state of Illinois or federal law if applicable. This section does not apply if you are based in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or Switzerland.

  1. What Data We Collect

Nullafi collects the following types of personally identifying information (“PII”):

If you provide us with feedback or contact us via email (e.g., in response to an employment opportunity posted on our Website), we will collect your name and email address, as well as any other content or information included in or attached to your email, in order to send you a reply. If you purchase Services or license Software from us, our third-party payment processor will collect payment account and other financial information which will be used to process your authorized payment.We may combine the information we collect directly from you with information we obtain from public sources, partners, and other third parties and use such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

  2. Information We May Collect through Technological Means.

    Our servers, which may be hosted by a third-party service provider, may collect certain technical data about your device and software, including your browser type, operating system, IP address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a time stamp of your visit. We automatically gather this data and store it in log files each time you visit our Website or access any other online Services we may make available from time to time.. We may also directly collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends in connection with the Services. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual user.

  3. Cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies.

    We use various technical mechanisms such as cookies, web beacons and similar tracking technologies to monitor how users use our Services. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a website. “Web beacons” refer to various tracking technologies used to check whether you have accessed some content on our Services. We use cookies for the following purposes, specifically:

    • Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.
    • Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the provision of enhanced functionality and personalization, such as videos and live chats. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these functionalities may not function properly.
    • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not work then.

We may link the information we store in cookies or through other mechanisms to the PII you submit while using our Services. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Services. You can remove persistent cookies at any time by following the directions in the “Help” section of your Internet browser. You can also disable all cookies on your Internet browser. If you choose to disable cookies, be advised that some components of our Services may not work properly.

  1. How We Use the Data We Collect.

In summary, we use your PII to respond to your requests, provide, secure, and enhance the Services, make the licensed Software you order available to you, and comply with our legal obligations. In particular, Nullafi uses your PII for the following purposes as necessary and as permitted by applicable law:

We may also compile, use statistical or anonymized, non-personally identifiable information and use or transfer such information for any purposes; provided, however, that such data has been fully de-identified and cannot in any way be traced back to the customer or user and does not contain any personally identifiable information. We may also use such anonymized information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services.

Third-Party Online Analytics Services

In connection with our Website and emails, we use third-party online analytics services, such as those of Google Analytics. These analytics services use automated technologies to collect information (such as email address, IP address, and device identifiers) to evaluate, for example, use of our products and services and to diagnose technical issues.

  1. How We Protect Your Data – Security

We are committed to protecting the security of information received through the Services, including PII.

Please do not disclose your account password to anyone else. Despite our efforts, no security controls are 100% risk-free, and Nullafi does not warrant or guarantee that your PII will be secure in all circumstances.

Supplemental GDPR Privacy Statement

This Supplemental GDPR Privacy Statement is relevant to any individual located in the EEA who uses the Services where these services directly link to this Supplemental GDPR Privacy Statement.

This Supplemental GDPR Privacy Statement does not cover any other data collection or processing, including, without limitation, through other Nullafi websites or online services that do not display a direct link to this Supplemental GDPR Privacy Statement, or through third-party websites.

European Union Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR“), requires Nullafi to provide additional and different information about its data processing practices to data subjects in the EEA. If you are accessing the Services from a member state of the EEA, this Supplemental GDPR Privacy Statement applies to you.

For purposes of the GDPR, Nullafi, Inc., 500 Lake Cook Road, Suite 350, Deerfield, IL 60015, USA, is the data controller of your personal information. Where processing of personal information is undertaken by our affiliates, subsidiaries or related entities, they are a joint controller with Nullafi.

Legal Basis of Processing.

In general, the legal basis for Nullafi’s processing of your personal data in connection with the Services is Article 6(1)(b) of the EU GDPR, which allows processing of personal data as necessary for the performance of a contract. When you access, use or register for our Services, you form a contract with us based on the applicable terms of use or terms of service, and Nullafi needs to process your personal data to provide the requested Services.

As exceptions, Nullafi relies on your consent with respect to cookies that are not strictly necessary and direct marketing emails per Article 6(1)(a) of the EU GDPR; and pursues legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the EU GDPR with respect to situations where Nullafi needs to process your personal data to comply with applicable laws (as a U.S.-based company, Nullafi is subject to U.S. laws and must comply with them) or processes your personal data to improve our business and Services.

Personal Data Transfers outside of the EEA. Nullafi may transmit some of your personal data to a country where the data protection laws may not provide a level of protection equivalent to the laws in your jurisdiction, including the United States. As required by applicable law, Nullafi will provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data using various means, including, where appropriate:

  • relying on a formal decision by the European Commission that a certain country ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data (a full list of such decisions may be accessed online here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.htm);
  • entering into appropriate data transfer agreements based on language approved by the European Commission, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC), which are available upon request at privacy@nullafi.com;
  • implementing appropriate physical, technical and organizational security measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing; and
  • taking other measures to provide an adequate level of data protection in accordance with applicable law.

Any onward transfer is subject to appropriate onward transfer requirements as required by applicable law.

Data Retention. Nullafi keeps personal data as long as required to provide the Services you have requested or registered for and comply with applicable laws.

Data Subject Rights. You have a right to request from Nullafi access to and rectification or erasure of your personal data or restriction of processing concerning you, as well as the right to data portability under the GDPR. You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data by us and we can be required to no longer process your personal data. In general, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. If you have a right to object and you exercise this right, your personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes by us. You can exercise such rights by accessing the information in your account, submitting request by email to privacy@nullafi.com.

If you have provided consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary, direct marketing emails or other data processing based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Your Choices. You are not required to provide any personal data to Nullafi but if you do not provide any personal data to Nullafi, you cannot use the Services. You can use the Services without consenting to cookies that are not strictly necessary; the only consequence is that our Services will be less tailored to you or you will not receive our marketing emails. 

Profiling. Nullafi does not use in connection with the Services automated decision-making, including profiling, in a way that produces legal effects concerning you or which significantly affects you.
