PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: June 19, 2020
Welcome to the I Do Recall Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy forms a part of and is incorporated into the I Do Recall
Terms of Service.
The idorecall.com website, including any subdomains, and the I Do Recall application (collectively, the “Website”) are owned and operated by I Do Recall, Inc., a U.S.-based privately held company with headquarters in Mount Laurel, New Jersey (“iDR”, “Company”, “we” or “us”).
iDR is in the education support business. iDR operates this Website for the purpose of helping students and lifelong learners become more successful by organizing their study materials, building digital spaced-repetition flashcards and, ultimately, remembering what they learn.
We, at iDR, recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of our visitors, users, and others (collectively or individually, “Users” or “you”) who use the Website.
This Privacy Policy details important information about how we look after your personal data when you visit or use our Website or use our services and Website, and about your privacy rights regarding your personal data. This Privacy Policy is provided in a layered format so you can click through to the specific areas set out below.
As used in this Privacy Policy the terms “personal data” and “personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).
1.IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WHO WE ARE
Purpose of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy aims to give you information on how iDR collects and processes your personal data through your use of the Website, including without limitation any data you may provide through the Website when you register an account with us, any data or files you upload or submissions of content that you create you make when you use the iDR application, or when you contact us by post, email, social media, the Intercom.com support widget or other means.
It is important that you read this Privacy Policy together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This Privacy Policy supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.
Children
I Do Recall provides some features and services intended for use by children, which may require parental/guardian consent. Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), each EU member state is permitted to legally define its own digital age of consent between 13 and 16. For minors in the U.S., the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) sets the digital age of consent at 13.
In order to use I Do Recall, you must disclose your age. By signing up, you represent and warrant that the age you give us is accurate. If, under COPPA, GDPR, or another country’s laws, consent of a parent/guardian is required, users under the age of digital consent must provide the e-mail address of an adult who will receive a request to approve the child’s account registration.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the applicable digital age of consent without the consent of a parent/guardian, as described above. If you are under 13 in the U.S., or under the digital age of consent in your EU member state, and do not have consent of a parent or guardian, do not use or provide any information on this Website or on or through any of its features, use any of the interactive or public comment features of this Website or provide any information about yourself to us, including without limitation your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use.
If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a minor child without verification of any required parental/guardian consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have collected or received any information from or about a minor child without the necessary consent, please contact us at
privacymanager@idorecall.com.
Controller
As it relates to personal data governed by GDPR, I Do Recall, Inc. is the “controller” (as defined in GDPR) of your personal data and responsible for any of your personal data we collect and process through your use of the Website.
We have appointed a data privacy manager who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this Privacy Policy.

Your class or group may also include a chat feature, including text chat and/or voice and video chat. If your class or group includes such features, other members of that group will be able to see any personal data you share via the chat feature.
6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
We share our users’ personal data within our company. If you are located in the EU this will involve transferring your personal data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
Many of our external third parties are also based outside the “EEA” so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
8. DATA RETENTION
How long will you keep my personal data?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
You can manually trigger erasure of your data at any time from your Account Profile Page.
If you have any questions or concerns about erasure of your data, please contact us at
privacymanager@idorecall.com.
9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHT
If you are a California resident, see Section 10 below.
For non-California residents, under certain circumstances, you may have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to inquire further about any of the potential rights set out above, please contact us at
privacymanager@idorecall.com.
Notwithstanding your right to contact us at any time at the above email address, you may exercise your legal right to access or correct your personal data by logging into your account on the Website and editing your data in your Account Profile Page. You can review, edit and delete any personal data that you may have included in content that you have either created or uploaded into your account by directly searching for relevant uploaded files and digital flashcards (recalls).
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may, as allowed by law, charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
10. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
If you are a California resident, you have the following special rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Please note that iDR does not sell your personal information, as defined under CCPA.
Your right to “know” and to request deletion
You have the right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you. You have the right to know the categories of sources from which the personal information has been collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting personal information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
You also have the right to request deletion of personal information we’ve collected or maintain. Please note this right is subject to certain exceptions, including without limitation our retaining information as necessary to protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, to comply with our legal obligations, and for other internal purposes.

privacymanager@idorecall.com or via regular mail at Attn: Data Privacy Manager, I Do Recall, 3000 Atrium Way, Suite 260, Mount Laurel, New Jersey, 08054, USA.

Personal information disclosed for a business purpose
You also have the right to what categories of personal information we’ve disclosed for a business purpose, and the third parties to whom that information was disclosed. For a description of such disclosures, please see Section 5.
Your right to non-discrimination
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by CCPA, including but not limited to by denying you services, charging different prices or rates, or providing you with a different level or quality of services.
Your right to use an authorized agent

If you make a request to access or delete your information, or to opt out of the sale of your personal information, we may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. This information may include your full name, phone number, email address, or other basic personal information about you that we already have on file.
