1.1 About the Privacy Policy. This CommonTime privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) governs the processing of personal data collected from individual users and entities (“you” and “your”) through the online platform https://commontime.online and the related services (collectively, “COMMONTIME”). The Privacy Policy does not cover any third-party websites, applications or software that integrate with COMMON TIME or any other third-party products and services.

1.2 Data controller. COMMONTIME is owned, operated, and offered by Common Time LLC having a registered business address at 9221 E. Spouse Drive, Prescott Valley, Arizona 86314, the United States, and a business registration number (EIN) 851720877 (“we”, “us”, or “our”). We act in the capacity of a data controller with regard to the personal data processed through COMMON TIME. It means that we are responsible for the collection and use of your personal data through COMMON TIME and we make decisions about the types of personal data that should be collected from you and purposes for which such personal data should be used.

1.3 Your consent. Before you submit any personal data through COMMONTIME, you are encouraged to read this Privacy Policy that is always available on COMMONTIME to understand on what legal bases (other than your consent) we rely when handling your personal data. In some cases, if required by the applicable law, we may seek to obtain your informed consent for the processing of your personal data. For example, we may seek your prior consent if: (i) we intend to collect other types of personal data that are not mentioned in this Privacy Policy; (ii) we would like to use your personal data for other purposes that are not specified in this Privacy Policy; or (iii) we would like to transfer your personal data to third parties that are not listed in this Privacy Policy.

1.4 Children. COMMONTIME is not intended for use by children (i.e., persons who are minors in their country of residence). Therefore, we do not knowingly collect minors’ personal data.

2. TYPES AND PURPOSES OF PERSONAL DATA

When you use COMMON TIME, we collect a minimal amount of personal data. Your personal data is used for specified and limited purposes. In this section, we explain what types of personal data we collect from you, for what purposes we use that data, and on what legal bases we rely when processing your personal data.

2.1 Types of personal data. We comply with data minimisation principles. Thus, we collect only a minimal amount of personal data that is necessary for your use of COMMONTIME. The list of the types of personal data that we collect from you is provided in section 2.3 below.

2.2 Purposes of personal data. We use your personal data for limited, specified and legitimate purposes explicitly mentioned in this Privacy Policy. In short, we use it only for the purposes of enabling you to use COMMONTIME, providing you with the requested services, maintaining and improving COMMONTIME, conducting research about COMMON TIME and our business activities, replying to your enquiries, and pursuing our legitimate business interests. We do not repurpose your personal data. It means that we do not use it for any purposes that are different from the purposes for which your personal data was provided.

2.3 Overview of types and purposes of your personal data. The list below provides a detailed description of the types of personal data that we collect from you, the purposes for which we use it, and the legal bases on which we rely when processing your personal data.

Sensitive data is information that relates to your health, religious and political beliefs, racial origins, membership of a professional or trade association, or sexual orientation.

2.5 Refusal to provide personal data. If you refuse to provide us with your personal data when we ask to, we may not be able to perform the requested operation and you may not be able to use the full functionality of COMMONTIME, receive our services, or get our response. Please contact us immediately if you think that any personal data that we collect is excessive or not necessary for the intended purpose.

2.6 Recordings. The sessions booked through COMMONTIME may be recorded. Please note that, before record, you may be asked to provide your consent for being featured in the session.

3. NON-PERSONAL DATA

When you use COMMONTIME, we receive some technical data for analytics purposes. In this section, we inform you what non-personal data we collect from you and for what purposes we use that data.

3.1 Log files and analytics data. In order to analyse your use of COMMONTIME, we collect and use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics, Heap Analytics, and AWS) to automatically collect certain technical non-personal data (log files and analytics data) about your use of COMMON TIME. Such data does not allow us to identify you in any manner. The non-personal data collected by us and third-party analytics providers includes the following information:

3.2 Your feedback. If you contact us, we may keep records of any questions, complaints, recommendations, or compliments made by you and the response. Where possible, we will de-identify your personal data (i.e., we will remove all personal data that is not necessary for keeping such records).

3.3 Purposes of non-personal data. We will use non-personal data for the following purposes:

3.4 Aggregated and de-identified data. In case your non-personal data is combined with certain elements of your personal data in a way that allows us to identify you, we will handle such aggregated data as personal data. If your personal data is aggregated or de-identified in a way that it can no longer be associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, it will not be considered personal data and we may use it for any business purpose.

4. MARKETING AND ADVERTISING

For example, if you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), we may need to transfer your personal data to jurisdictions outside the EEA. In case it is necessary to make such a transfer, we will make sure that the jurisdiction in which the recipient third party is located guarantees an adequate level of protection for your personal data or we conclude an agreement with the respective third party that ensures such protection (e.g., a data processing agreement based pre-approved standard contractual clauses).

Although we put our best efforts to protect your personal data, given the nature of communications and information processing technology and the Internet, we cannot be liable for any unlawful destruction, loss, use, copying, modification, leakage, and falsification of your personal data caused by circumstances that are beyond our reasonable control.

You are not allowed to upload Your Content that you have not made or that you are not authorised to use. Also, Your Content should not contain any materials protected by copyright, including music tracks, photos, videos, programmes, and texts, if you do not have the necessary authorisation to use such materials.

You understand and agree that, in order to ensure the security of COMMON TIME, we may, but have no obligation to, monitor or review Your Content.

Fair use policy

In the US and other countries, it may be possible to reuse materials protected by copyright without obtaining permission from a copyright holder under certain circumstances (‘fair use’).
