Google API Services Disclosure

FunBot AI uses Google’s Application Programming Interface (API) Services to enable the user authorization feature for accessing the FunBot AI platform (i.e. use of your Gmail account to login to the FunBot AI platform).

FunBot AI’s use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Types of Data Collected with Google API Services

The information collected and used with these API services includes personal data such as email addresses.  FunBot AI does use certain scopes to send email’s on behalf of our users and we also use scopes to read the email address from the users account.

“Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your email address.  We collect, use, and store Personal Data, as described within the practices below.

Use of Google API Services Data

Your Google information is used by our system developers to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent to your user experience. FunBot AI policies and procedures define requirements that prohibit the unauthorized use of data within the platform.

In order to perform improvement to the platform, developers may need to share your information with other development team members; however, FunBot AI policies require that this type of sharing only be performed when (a) necessary to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent from the requesting app’s user interface, (b) to comply with applicable laws, or (c) a part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets of FunBot AI. All other transfers or sales of user data are completely prohibited.

Developers are never allowed to use or transfer restricted scope data to serve users advertisements. This includes personalized, re-targeted and interest-based advertising.

Securing Your Data

FunBot AI has established policies and procedures that define the appropriate safeguards for protecting your sensitive information. These safeguards include the implementation and use of security software, security processes, and a team of security professionals that manages and monitors the security of the FunBot AI IT network and your sensitive data.

Data Privacy

We place significant importance on maintaining the security and privacy of your data. Reference our Privacy Policy for information on our privacy policies regarding the use of the FunBot AI platform and its services.

Privacy Policy

Print

Effective February 5, 2021

At FunBot AI, privacy is a priority. This Privacy Policy sets out how FunBot AI collects and uses information from customers and other individuals who access or use our website, our mobile applications, our product platform, our API Platform and/or any of our other sites, products, or services that link to this Privacy Policy (the “Services”). By using our Services, you understand that we will collect and use your information as described in this Privacy Policy (collectively “you”). .

When this policy mentions “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the controller of your information, FunBot AI and refers to the reader as “you” or “user.”  We recommend that you read this Privacy Policy in full to ensure you are fully informed.

If you or your organization has an individual agreement with us, that agreement may have privacy terms that also apply to the information you provide to us under that agreement.  Please review the terms in that agreement because they may be different or more restrictive than the terms in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites and apps that you may use, including any that are linked to in our Services. You should review the terms and policies for third-party websites and apps before clicking on any links.

FunBot AI’s core product and services help users create, complete, and show the validity of digital or electronic transactions.  FunBot AI is a secure transportation vehicle for sensitive data.  As part of our Services, users want us to collect and record information that helps the users prove the validity of the transportation transactions. This information includes the persons who are involved in the transactions and the devices those persons use.

FunBot AI processes two broad categories of personal information when you use our products and services:

  • Your personal information as a user or developer customer (or potential user or developer customer) of FunBot AI – information that we refer to as Customer Account Data, and
  • The personal information of your end users’ who use or interact with you or your application that you’ve built from FunBot AI’s platform – this category contains both your Customer Usage Data (e.g., communications metadata) and your Customer Content (e.g., the contents of communications).

FunBot AI processes these categories of personal information differently because the direct relationship we have with you, our customer, is different than the indirect relationship we have with your end users.

  1. HOW WE COLLECT AND PROCESS INFORMATION?

To provide and improve our Services and to support advertising and marketing, we collect information about visitors to our sites, users of our Services (Customer Account Data), the devices they use, and sometimes their locations.

When you visit our website or request more information about FunBot AI, we collect information automatically using tracking technologies, like cookies, and through web forms where you type in your information. We collect this information to provide you with what you request through the web form.

We collect certain information directly from you, such as when you fill out forms with a name or email address. We collect other information, usually about devices, browsers, or locations, automatically (without you typing it into a form).

You have choices about whether you visit our sites, install our apps, or provide information to us. However, if you do not provide us with certain information, you may not be able to use some parts of our Services.

Information You Share Directly: In some places on FunBot AI’s public-facing website, you can fill out web forms to ask to be contacted by our Sales Team, sign up for a newsletter, take a survey or partake in an live online demo. The specific personal information requested on these forms will vary based on the purpose of the form. We will ask you for information necessary for us to provide you with what you request through the form (for example, we will ask you for your email address if you want to sign up for an email newsletter and for your phone number if you want a member of our Sales Team to call you). We may also ask you for additional information to help us understand you better as a customer like your FunBot AI use case, your company name, or your role at your company. If you sign up to receive ongoing marketing communications from FunBot AI, like a newsletter, you can always choose to opt-out of further communications through a preferences page which will be linked from any marketing email you receive from FunBot AI. Or, you can contact our Support Team to communicate your choice to opt-out (see Sections 5 & 12 below).

Information We Collect Automatically: When you visit FunBot AI website, including our web forms, we and our service providers acting on our behalf automatically collect certain information using tracking technologies like cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. We use this information to understand how visitors to our websites are using them and which pages and features of the websites are most popular. This helps us understand how we can improve our websites and track performance of our advertisements. Cookie settings can be changed at any time by any website visitor and each visitor to our website can decline the collection of the above by clicking on “no thanks” or by accepting by clicking on “accept cookies”.

What Customer Account Data We Processes When You Communicate with Our Sales or Customer Support Teams and Why

You may share personal information, like your contact information, with a member of our Sales or

Customer Support Team when you communicate with them. We keep a record of this interaction.

If you contact our Sales or Customer Support Teams, those teams keep a record of that communication, including your contact details and other information you share during the course of the communication. We store this information to help us keep track of the inquiries we receive from you and from customers generally, so we can improve our products and services and provide training to team members. This information also helps our teams manage our ongoing relationships with our customers. Because we store a record of these communications, please be thoughtful about what information you share with our Sales and Customer Support Teams. While we will take appropriate measures to protect any sensitive information you share with us, it is best to avoid sharing any personal or other sensitive information in these communications not necessary for these teams to assist you.

What Customer Account Data We Processes When You Sign Up for and Log Into a FunBot AI Account and Why

When you sign up for a FunBot AI account, we ask for certain information like your contact details and billing information so we can communicate with you and so you can pay for our products and services. We also collect some information automatically, like your IP address, when you log in to your account or when your software application built on FunBot AI makes requests to our APIs. We use this to understand who is using our services and how, and to detect, prevent and investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents.

Information You Share Directly: When you sign up for a FunBot AI account, you’ll be asked to give us your name, email address, username and optionally, your company name, and to create a password. We collect this information so we know who you are, we can communicate with you about your account(s), and we can recognize you when you communicate with us through the account portal or otherwise.

We also use your email address to send you information about other FunBot AI products, services or events in which we think you may be interested. You can opt out of further marketing communications through your marketing preferences page linked from any marketing email you receive from FunBot AI. Or, you can contact our Support Team to communicate your choice to opt-out.

When you first sign up for an account, we also ask you for a mobile number so we can communicate a verification code to that mobile number and have you enter the code into our website. This helps us ensure you’re actually a human being. A FunBot AI team member may also contact you at this number to help you with on-boarding unless you tell us you don’t want us to contact you.

When you set up two-factor authentication for your account, we’ll ask you to enter a mobile number or email address to set up the process. You have the option to use that mobile number or email address as the method for us to communicate verification codes to you to verify that it is you logging into your account.

When you upgrade your trial account, we’ll ask you to provide our payment processor with your payment method information like a credit card and/or your billing address. Our payment processor, acting on our behalf, gathers this so we can bill you for your use of our products and services. Our payment processor will share your billing address with FunBot AI.

For some products, we may also have to obtain a physical address from you, including proof of address or other identification information. For example, to get a phone number in certain countries, local law may require us to have a physical service address on file for you or your end user and/or proof of identity and physical service address.  We may have to share your service or billing address with the telecommunications carrier from whom FunBot AI obtained the phone number or with local government authorities upon their request.

Similarly, for some of our products, you may have to complete an application form providing details about your company and your intended use of the product, like when you are interested in getting a short code. We’ll use this information for the purpose for which it was gathered from you. We may also use it in connection with improving our own internal processes and services or training our team members.

Information We Generate or Collect Automatically. When you sign up for an account with FunBot AI, we’ll automatically assign you and your account(s) unique IDs.   Developer user will generate an API token for each of your accounts. API key requests that are generated are tied to your account email address and we keep a record of these credentials, so we know it is you making the requests when your application makes requests to our API using these credentials.

In addition, when you use our account portal, we collect your IP address and other data through tracking technologies like cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. We use this information to understand how customers are using our platform, who those customers are (if they are a company and the IP address is associated with that company), what country they are logging in from (for analytics and export control purposes), and to help improve the navigation experience.

Note that we also collect the IP address of your devices or servers when you make requests to our APIs. When you use our APIs, we also collect and process the information contained in those interactions.

All information we collect when you sign up for a FunBot AI account and interact with the FunBot AI account portal or our products or services may be used to detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, fraud, or abuse and misuse of our platform and services.

We automatically collect information from you and your devices when you use our Services, even when you visit our sites or apps without logging in. For choices you may have on what information we automatically collect, please see Section ­­5 of this Privacy Policy.

The information we automatically collect includes:

Device, Usage Information, and Transactional Data. We collect information about how you use our Services and the computers or other devices, such as mobile phones or tablets, you use to access our Services. Some examples include:

Tailored Advertising

They do this to (i) tailor and serve advertising based on information like past visits to our Services and other sites; and (ii) report the number of ads served and the responses to those ads;

Ads for our Products and Services. We may also use services, like Google, AdRoll, and Appnexus, to serve tailored ads about our products and Services to you on our Services and elsewhere. We allow these third parties to use and access their own cookies on your computer or other device(s) you use to access our Services. We do not have access to these cookies or related technologies, and this Privacy Policy does not govern the use of those cookies and related technologies.

For choices you have on cookies and related technologies, please see Section 5 of this Policy.

FunBot AI uses Google API services within the FunBot AI platform.

How FunBot AI Processes Your Personal Information

We, FunBot AI, collect and process your personal information:

  • When you visit our public facing website, FunBot AI.io, sign up for a free FunBot AI account, or make a request to receive information about FunBot AI or our products;
  • When you contact FunBot AI’s Sales Team or Customer Support Team; and
  • When you sign up for a FunBot AI paid account and use our products and services.

We call this personal information Customer Account Data.

Data protection (aka privacy) laws in certain jurisdictions, like the European Economic Area (EEA), differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. A controller decides why and how to process personal information.

A processor processes personal information on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instructions. When FunBot AI processes your Customer Account Data, the FunBot AI entity with whom you are contracting is acting as a controller.

When our customers use our Services, we process and store certain information on their behalf as a data processor. For example, when a customer (or the customer’s Authorized Users) uploads or downloads files or other documents for review we act primarily as a data processor and process information on the customer’s behalf and in accordance with their instructions. In those instances, the customer as the data controller is responsible for most aspects of the processing of the information. If you have any questions or concerns about how information is processed in these cases, including how to exercise your rights as a data subject, we recommend contacting the relevant customer.

Broadly speaking, we use Customer Account Data to further our legitimate interests to:

  • understand who our customers and potential customers are and their interests in FunBot AI’s product and services
  • manage our relationship with you and other customers
  • carry out core business operations
  • help detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, fraud and other abuse and/or misuse of our products and services.

How FunBot AI Processes Your End Users’ Personal Information

Your end users’ personal information typically shows up on FunBot AI’s platform in a few different ways:

  • Communications-related personal information about your end users, like your end users’ mobile numbers, email address, Name, or IP addresses, show up in our systems when you use or intend to use this information to contact your end user through use of our products and services.
  • Your end users’ personal information may show up in “friendly names,” which are strings you provide, if you choose to include your end users’ personal information as part of a string.
  • Your end users’ personal information may also be contained in the content of communications you (or your end users) push or pull using FunBot AI’s products and services.

We call the information in the first two bullets above Customer Usage Data. The information in the third bullet is what we refer to as Customer Content.

As noted above, data protection (aka privacy) law in certain jurisdictions, like the EEA, differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. When FunBot AI processes Customer Content, we generally act as a processor. When we process Customer Usage Data, we act as a processor in many respects, but we may act as a controller in others. For example, we may need to use certain Customer Usage Data for the legitimate interests of billing, reconciling invoices with telecommunications carriers, and in the context of troubleshooting and detecting problems with the network.

What Customer Usage Data and Customer Content FunBot AI Processes and Why

We use Customer Usage Data and Customer Content to provide services to you and to carry out necessary functions of our business as a communications service provider. We do not sell your end users’ personal information and we do not share your end users’ information with third parties for those third parties’ own business interests.

The particular end user personal information FunBot AI processes when you, our customer, use our products and services and the reason FunBot AI processes it depends on how you use our products and services and which FunBot AI products and services you use.

In many cases, you can opt to store records of your communications (audit trail), or other activities, on FunBot AI, which may include your end users’ personal information. You may also have the option to use additional features or tools within FunBot AI’s products or services that allow you to do things such as audit Login Activity and/or Transactions Activity, including end user personal information, in your FunBot AI account. In those cases, FunBot AI will process this information to provide you with the service you request.

In addition, records containing end user personal information may, from time to time, also be used in debugging or troubleshooting or in connection with investigations of security incidents, as well as for the purposes of detecting and preventing spam or fraudulent activity and detecting and preventing network exploits and abuse.

  1. USE OF INFORMATION

In general, we collect, use and store or process your information to provide our Services, to fix and improve them, to develop new services, and to market our companies and their products and services. Here are some examples of how we use the information we process (if you have opted in):

  • Provide you with the services and products you request and collect payments
  • Send you records of our relationship, including for purchases or other events
  • Market features, products, or special events using email or mobile or send you marketing communications about third party products and services we think may be of interest to you

  • Choose and deliver content and tailored advertising
  • Create and review data about our users and how they use our Services
  • Test changes in our Services and develop new features and products
  • Fix problems you may have with our Services, including answering support questions and resolving disputes

  • Prevent, investigate and respond to: fraud, unauthorized access to or use of our Services, breaches of terms and policies, or other wrongful behavior
  • Meet legal retention periods

Lawful Basis for Processing Your Information.

If European data protection law applies and FunBot AI acts as a controller, our lawful basis for collecting and using the information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the information concerned and the specific context in which we collect or use it.

We normally collect or use information from you or others only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may have a legal obligation to collect or retain personal information or may need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. For example, when we:

  • Use information to create and manage an account, we need it in order to provide relevant services.
  • Gather and record data associated with use of a digital certificate, it is to comply with regulations.
  • Use names and email addresses for email marketing purposes, we do so with your consent (which you can revoke at any time).
  • Gather usage data and analyze it to improve our Services, we do so based on our legitimate interest in safeguarding and improving our Services.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in Section ­­12 of this Privacy Policy.

  1. INFORMATION SHARING

We do not sell or allow your Customer Account Data to be used by third parties for their own marketing purposes. Further, we do not sell your end users’ personal information (whether contained in Customer Usage Data or Customer Content). And, we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing or other purposes.

We share information as follows:

  • Service Providers. FunBot AI engages certain third-party service providers to carry out certain data processing functions on our behalf. These providers are limited to only accessing or using this data to provide services to us and must provide reasonable assurances they will appropriately safeguard the data.  These companies provide services like search technology, advertising, authentication systems, bill collection, fraud detection, and customer support.
  • Affiliates/Resellers. Over time, FunBot AI may grow and reorganize. We may share your personal information with affiliates such as a subsidiary, joint venture partners or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us, in which case we will require those companies to agree to use your personal information in a way that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
  • Safety, Security, and Compliance with Law. We may share your information to follow applicable law, or to respond to legal process (like a subpoena). We also may share your information when there are threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of this Privacy Policy or other agreements, or to protect the legal rights of third parties, including our employees, users, or the public.
  • Business Transactions. We may share your information during a corporate transaction like a merger, reorganization or sale of our assets. If a corporate transaction occurs, personal information that we have collected from users would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by that third party. This Privacy Policy will continue to apply to your information, and any acquirer would only be able to handle your personal information as per this policy (unless you give consent to a new policy). We will provide you with notice of a corporate transaction within thirty (30) days following the completion of such a transaction, by posting on our homepage, and by email to your email address that you provided to us. If you do not consent to the use of your personal information by such a successor company, you may request its deletion from the company.
  • Aggregated or deidentified data. We might also share data with third parties if the data has been de-identified or aggregated in a way, so it cannot be used to identify you or your end users.
  • Consent. We may share your information in other ways if you have asked us to do so or have given consent. For example, with your consent, we post user testimonials that may identify you.

Your information may also be shared as described below:

Other users. When you make a Request from others through your account, we share selected information with them via an electronic business card at completion of the Request. For example, if you send a Request to Pull information from another user, once that Request is completed the end user will see selected information (that you control) which could be your name, business name, mobile and email address.

When you Send or Push information to another user, we share that content with them.

Third Parties. When you make a payment to another user within our Services, we share your payment method details with the third-party payment processor.

Public Information.

  • User-Generated Content. When you comment on our blogs or in our community forums, this information may also be read, collected, and used by others.
  • Profile Information. When you create a FunBot AI profile, end users can view your profile information only if you have selected the checkbox for electronic business card after all completed Requests.

Your Employer or Organization. When you create an account or user role with an email address assigned to you as an employee, contractor or member of an organization, such as yourname@youremployer.com or yourname@nonprofit.org, that organization (if it is a FunBot AI customer with certain features) can find your account and take certain actions that may affect your account.

  1. RETENTION OF INFORMATION

We keep your personal information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws. Where there are technical limitations that prevent deletion or anonymization, we safeguard personal data and limit active use of it.

If you ask FunBot AI to delete specific personal information from your Customer Account Data, we will honor this request unless deleting that information prevents us from carrying out necessary business functions, like billing for our services, or conducting required audits.

  1. YOUR CHOICES

This section describes many of the actions you can take to change or limit the collection or use of your information.

  • You are not required to fill out a profile. If you do, you can access and review this information. If any information is inaccurate or incomplete, you can make changes in your account settings.
  • Marketing Messages. You can opt out of email marketing messages we send. You can opt out of these messages by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in the email message.

To opt out of other direct marketing from us, please contact us using the email in Section 12 of this Privacy Policy.
  • Cookies and Other Related Technology. You can choose to decline cookies through your browser settings. However, if you decline cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of our Services.

  1. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

To keep your information safe, we use physical, electronic, and managerial tools. We apply these tools based on the sensitivity of the information we collect, use, and store, and the current state of technology. Although we take steps to prevent unauthorized access to or use of personal information, the Internet and our Services are not 100% secure. For this reason, we are not able to guarantee that information we collect or store will always be protected from unauthorized access, or that it will only be used as described in this Privacy Policy.

To protect the confidentiality of your account and protect from unauthorized use of your account, we recommend enabling two-factor authentication for your account.   Similarly, if you provision an API Key, you should store your API Key in a secure location.

  1. Users From Outside the United States. 

By using the Services, you acknowledge that your information will be processed as descried in this Privacy Policy and consent to having your information transferred to our affiliates and facilities in the United States or elsewhere, and to the facilities of those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.  FunBot AI employs appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers of personal data, as required by applicable local law, including the EU-U.S. Privacy and Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks (see below)

Transfers to the U.S. and Third Countries. If you are established in Switzerland or the European Economic Area (“EEA”), you understand and acknowledge that FunBot AI may transfer your personal data outside of Switzerland and the EEA for processing and it shall only be done with adequate protections in place and in compliance with applicable laws and standards. For data transfers to the U.S. from the E.U. FunBot AI complies with all applicable laws and standards in the U.S. & E.U (and as it may be amended over time) regarding the collection, use, retention and disclosure of personal information from the E.U. and E.E.A. to the U.S., and certifies its adherence to the law and these policy principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, enforcement, and the applicable supplemental principles (see below paragraph for details).   Upon your explicit written request, FunBot AI may execute Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission for the benefit of the customer (“Customer SCCs”) in order to ensure adequate protection for the Personal Data in accordance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

Disclosures & Accountability for Onward Transfers.  Consistent with the Principles, FunBot AI may transfer personal information to third parties, including transfers from one country to another.  We will only disclose an individual’s non-public personal information to third parties under one or more of the following conditions:

  • The disclosure is to a third-party providing services to FunBot AI, or to the individual, in connection with the operation of our business, and as consistent with the purpose for which the personal information was collected. We maintain written contracts with these third parties and require that these third parties provide at least the same level of privacy protection and security as required by the Privacy Shield Principles. To the extent provided by the Principles, FunBot AI remains responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if a third-party that it engages to process personal information on its behalf does so in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, unless FunBot AI proves that it is not responsible for the matter giving rise to the damage.
  • With the individual’s permission to make the disclosure;
  • Where required to the extent necessary to meet a legal obligation to which FunBot AI is subject, including a lawful request by public authorities and national security or law enforcement obligations and applicable law, rule, order, or regulation.
  • Where reasonably necessary for compliance or regulatory purposes, or for the establishment of legal claims.

Other Rights

  • You can access and review information associated with your account at any time. You also can request the following information: how we collect and use your information and why; the categories of personal data involved; the categories of recipients of your personal data; how we received your personal data; and how long we use or store your personal data or the manner in which we determine relevant retention periods.
  • You also have a right to correct your personal data. In certain situations, you can ask that we erase or stop using your information (and object to use of your personal data).
  • Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to decline consent and/or if provided, to withdraw consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to the withdrawal of your consent. At any time, you can request that we stop using your information for direct marketing purposes. See Section 5 of our Privacy Policy for more information on your choices.

FunBot AI complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States.  FunBot AI has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of both Frameworks, and any reference to “Privacy Shield Principles” shall include such Principles under both the EU and Swiss Frameworks.  If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern.  For further information about the requirements for compliance with the Privacy Shield, and further detail about the Privacy Shield Principles, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/

In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, FunBot AI commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your personal information.  EU and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our Privacy Shield policy should first contact us if you have any complaint or concern regarding your PII (personal data) under this Privacy Policy, or arising under the Privacy Policy please contact us at hylee09.1173@gmail.com (see section 14 below). We suggest that you put in the subject line of any email or communication “Privacy Policy” or “Privacy Complaint.”  We will respond within 30 days.

If you do not receive timely acknowledgment by us of your complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed by us, please contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider JAMS (free of charge) at https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield.  If you still believe that your complaint or dispute has not been resolved, you can invoke binding arbitration as a last resort (if permitted with respect to your complaint), by providing notice to us in the manner indicated in Annex I to the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield Principles, available online, and following the procedures set forth in such Annex.  The location of the arbitration will be in the United States. You may choose video or telephone participation, which will be provided at no cost to you. In-person participation will not be required.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will not be entitled to recover attorneys’ or arbitration fees, even if you would otherwise be entitled to them. In addition, EU citizens have the right to initiate a private cause of action.  Finally, with respect to any PII transferred from Switzerland to the U.S., the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner’s authority shall substitute for the EU Data Protection Authority, and FunBot AI agrees to cooperate with such Swiss Commissioner in this context. FunBot AI commits to follow up in its verification that the attestations and assertions made in this Privacy Policy are true, and to remedy any problems that may arise if we fail to comply with the Privacy Shield Principles.

Mediation: You also agree that, in the event any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or the Services or this Privacy Policy that does not relate to your PII (personal data), or that is not covered by the previous paragraph, you and FunBot AI will attempt in good faith to negotiate a written resolution of the matter directly between the parties. You agree that if the matter remains unresolved for forty-five (45) days after notification (via certified mail or personal delivery) that a dispute exists, all parties shall join in mediation services in Denver, Colorado with a mutually agreed mediator in an attempt to resolve the dispute. Should you file any arbitration claims, or any administrative or legal actions without first having attempted to resolve the matter by mediation, then you agree that to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will not be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, even if you would otherwise be entitled to them.
