As is true of most other websites, DoubleSpot’s website collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of DoubleSpot’s website, including a history of the pages you view.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to operate and administer our services and improve your experience. A “cookie” is a piece of information sent to your browser by a website you visit. You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether to accept it. 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.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

The personal information DoubleSpot collects from you is stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties located in the United States. These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval. On occasion, DoubleSpot engages third parties to send information to you, including information about our products, services, and events.

We do not otherwise reveal your personal data to non-DoubleSpot persons or businesses for their independent use unless: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) it’s in connection with DoubleSpot-hosted and DoubleSpot co-sponsored conferences as described above; (3) the information is provided to comply with the law (for example, compelled by law enforcement to comply with a search warrant, subpoena, or court order), enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others; (4) the information is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who perform functions on our behalf; (5) to address emergencies; or (6) to address disputes, claims, or to persons demonstrating legal authority to act on your behalf. We may also gather aggregated data about our services and website visitors and disclose the results of such aggregated (but not personally identifiable) information to our partners, service providers, advertisers, and/or other third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

The DoubleSpot website connects with third party services such as Google, Microsoft, and others. If you choose to share information from the DoubleSpot website through these services, you should review the privacy policy of that service. If you are a member of a third party service, the aforementioned connections may allow that service to connect your visit to our site to your personal data.

Transferring Personal Data to the U.S.

Information we collect about you will be processed in the United States. By using DoubleSpot’s services, you acknowledge that your personal information will be processed in the United States.

Depending on the circumstance, DoubleSpot also collects and transfers to the U.S. personal data with consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of DoubleSpot in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. DoubleSpot endeavors to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with DoubleSpot and the practices described in this Privacy Statement. DoubleSpot also enters into data processing agreements and model clauses with its vendors whenever feasible and appropriate. Since it was founded, DoubleSpot has received zero government requests for information.

For more information or if you have any questions, please contact us at support@doublespot.com.

Data Subject Rights

This Privacy Statement is intended to provide you with information about what personal data DoubleSpot collects about you and how it is used.

If you wish to confirm that DoubleSpot is processing your personal data, or to have access to the personal data DoubleSpot may have about you, please contact us.

You may also request information about: the purpose of the processing; the categories of personal data concerned; who else outside DoubleSpot might have received the data from DoubleSpot; what the source of the information was (if you didn’t provide it directly to DoubleSpot); and how long it will be stored. You have a right to correct (rectify) the record of your personal data maintained by DoubleSpot if it is inaccurate. You may request that DoubleSpot erase that data or cease processing it, subject to certain exceptions. You may also request that DoubleSpot cease using your data for direct marketing purposes. In many countries, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority if you have concerns about how DoubleSpot processes your personal data. When technically feasible, DoubleSpot will—at your request—provide your personal data to you.

Reasonable access to your personal data will be provided at no cost. If access cannot be provided within a reasonable time frame, DoubleSpot will provide you with a date when the information will be provided. If for some reason access is denied, DoubleSpot will provide an explanation as to why access has been denied.

For questions or complaints concerning the processing of your personal data, you can email us at support@doublespot.com.

Data Protection Mechanisms

At DoubleSpot, we implement robust data protection mechanisms to safeguard your sensitive information:

  • Public Data Only: We train your chatbots exclusively on sources that are publicly accessible online and do not require security credentials.
  • Encryption: All customer data is encrypted using industry-standard encryption algorithms both at rest and in transit.
  • Access Control: We employ user roles and permissions to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data.

  • No AI Training: We do not use your data to train AI models.

Data Storage and Retention

Your personal data is stored by DoubleSpot on its servers, and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services DoubleSpot engages, located in the United States. DoubleSpot retains service data for the duration of the customer’s business relationship with DoubleSpot and for a period of time thereafter, to analyze the data for DoubleSpot’s own operations, and for historical and archiving purposes associated with DoubleSpot’s services. DoubleSpot retains prospect data until such time as it no longer has business value and is purged from DoubleSpot systems. All personal data that DoubleSpot controls may be deleted upon verified request from Data Subjects or their authorized agents.

A note about accuracy: some Services generate responses by reading a user’s request and, in response, predicting the words most likely to appear next. In some cases, the words most likely to appear next may not be the most factually accurate. For this reason, you should not rely on the factual accuracy of output from our models. If you notice that our Services’ output contains factually inaccurate information about you and you would like us to correct the inaccuracy, you may submit a correction request to support@doublespot.com. Given the technical complexity of how our models work, we may not be able to correct the inaccuracy in every instance. In that case, you may request that we remove your Personal Information from our Services’ output by contacting support@doublespot.com.
