Privacy Policy

2.1 EU-U.S., UK Extension to the EU-U.S., and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework

Valkit.ai complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the United States, respectively. Valkit.ai has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (collectively, the "DPF Principles"). If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the DPF Principles, the DPF Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

Valkit.ai is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) with respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the DPF Program.

Pursuant to the DPF Program, EU, UK, and Swiss individuals have the right to obtain our confirmation of whether we maintain personal information relating to you in the United States. Upon request, we will provide you with access to the personal information that we hold about you. You may also correct, amend, or delete the personal information we hold about you. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data transferred to the United States in reliance on the DPF Program should direct their query to [email protected]. If requested to remove data, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

We will provide an individual opt-out choice, or opt-in for sensitive data, before we share your data with third parties other than our agents, or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized. To request to limit the use and disclosure of your personal information, please submit a written request to [email protected].

In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

In compliance with the DPF Principles, Valkit.ai commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your personal information. EU, UK, and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our DPF policy should first contact Valkit.ai at:

Email: [email protected]
Mail: Valkit.ai LLC., Attn: Privacy Officer, 429 E. Vermont St., Suite 304, Indianapolis, IN 46202

Valkit.ai has further committed to refer unresolved DPF Principles-related complaints to a U.S.-based independent dispute resolution mechanism, BBB National Programs. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your complaint to your satisfaction, please contact or visit https://bbbprograms.org/programs/all-programs/dpf-consumers or www.bbbprograms.org/dpf-complaints for information or to file a complaint. This service is provided at no cost to you.

If your DPF complaint cannot be resolved through the above channels, under certain conditions, you may invoke binding arbitration for some residual claims not resolved by other redress mechanisms. See https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/framework-article/ANNEX-I-introduction for more information on this process.

If you are an EU, UK, or Swiss Individual, where we transfer your personal data to third party service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf, we are responsible for the processing of that data by them and shall remain liable if they process your personal data in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, unless Valkit.ai proves that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
