‍

What types of personal data do you process?

We process different personal data depending on the context, for example, who you are, what relationship we have with you, what you have decided to share with us, and when (as explained in the next section). Here are some typical categories of personal data we process:

We also leverage tools such as Heap for additional analytics.

Third-Party Data Collection and Online Advertising

We participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies and other third-party services, to collect information about your use of our online services over time so that they may play or display ads on our Services, on other websites or services you may use, and on other devices you may use. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including click stream information, browser type, time and date you visited the Sites, AdID, precise geolocation and other information. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. We may also use services provided by third parties (such as social media platforms) to serve targeted ads to you and others on such platforms. We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider. Please see the “Control Over Your Information” section below, to learn how you can opt out of interest-based advertising.
‍

Social Media Widgets and Advertising.  Our Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter or other widgets. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to our Services, and they may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies.
‍

We display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and other social media forums. These companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our services while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics. We may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed email address, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our website visitors through a first-party pixel, in order to direct targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience on the social media platform. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them. If you do not want to receive targeted ads on your social networks, you may be able to adjust your advertising preferences through your settings on those networks.
‍
Third Party Partners.  We work with a variety of third-party partners to provide advertising services. For example, we use Google Analytics to recognize you and link the devices you use when you visit our Services on your browser or mobile device, log in to your account on our Services, or otherwise engage with us. We share a unique identifier, like a user ID or hashed email address, with Google to facilitate the service. Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our users interact with our Services and to tailor our advertisements and content to you. For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google's website, “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Ad-On here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
‍

We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Services. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://google.com/ads/preferences, or by visiting NAI’s online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

‍

Information for individuals based in the EEA (GDPR) and UK (UK GDPR)

Information for individuals based in the EEA (GDPR) and UK (UK GDPR) If you are based in the EEA, which includes the EU member states and the EEA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and the UK, this section applies to you. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all terms in this section have the same meaning as defined in this Policy or as otherwise defined in the GDPR or UK GDPR.

Since we are an American company headquartered in the United States, your personal data will be transferred outside the EEA and UK. For example, we use processors located in the U.S. to manage payments and transactional emails. To ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection when transferred from the EEA and UK to the U.S. (or other countries without an adequacy decision), Banzai relies on the Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs"), as adopted by the European Commission, and the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs, where applicable. These clauses are incorporated into our Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") with our customers, which outlines the specific commitments and safeguards for such transfers, including supplementary measures to address the requirements of the Schrems II ruling. When you enter into an Agreement with us (for example, if you become our customer), your personal data is transferred in accordance with the safeguards provided by our DPA and the incorporated SCCs.

As part of our privacy efforts, we carefully select our vendors and partners, assessing their business practices, security measures, and data protection compliance. We verify that they adhere to appropriate data transfer mechanisms, such as the SCCs, to ensure your data remains protected. Should you have any questions regarding our international transfers of data, require a copy of the relevant safeguards (including our DPA), or wish to understand how we implement supplementary measures, you may contact privacy@banzai.io. 

Finally, we have appointed a Data Protection Officer. Please refer to the top of this Policy for contact details.

‍

Security

We strive to use appropriate technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, change or damage. 

Our role as a Processor 

This Policy describes how we process your personal data when we are the Controller. When we process personal data on your behalf, however, we act as a Processor (and in this situation, you are the Controller of the personal data in question).
‍

When we act as a Processor, we are subject to certain legal requirements. Please see our Data Processing Addendum, which includes the SCCs, for further details.
‍

Processing of your personal data when Banzai is a Processor

If you have signed up for or attended an event/webinar hosted by one of our customers, please note that our customer (the event/webinar host) is the Controller of your personal data, and Banzai acts as a Processor on their behalf. If you have questions about how your personal data is processed in this situation, or wish to exercise your data protection rights, please contact the event/webinar host or relevant Controller directly, as they are primarily responsible for your data.
