In such cases, we're committed to making concerted efforts to inform you before the management of your data changes under new privacy and security standards.
Non-Personal Data Derivation
From the wealth of Personal Data we obtain, we can generate consolidated, non-personal, or anonymized data by stripping away details that would identify an individual. This kind of data may be leveraged and shared with third-party entities to further legitimate business objectives, such as refining our website or amplifying our promotional efforts. However, it's imperative to note that the shared data won't be used in ways that could trace back to you.
Digital Monitoring and Opting Out
Our website employs a range of digital markers, notably cookies and technologies like pixel tags, web beacons, and JavaScript, known collectively as “Cookies”. These tools facilitate our servers in identifying your browser and gather insights about your interactions and visit patterns on our platform, thereby aiding in its enhancement. Cookies are essentially tiny data fragments, often textual, stored on devices when users interact with online platforms. Additionally, the data we obtain might be enriched with information from third-party sources, especially those who've also embedded cookies on your devices. It's important to highlight that due to our reliance on cookies, our website currently doesn't entertain "Do Not Track" signals initiated by browsers.
Types of Cookies Utilized:
01
Primary Cookies
These cookies are vital for delivering certain features or services you've requested. For instance, they might help you access password-protected sections of our website. Disabling them could render some functionalities inaccessible.
02
Analytical Cookies
These cookies provide insights into user behavior on our site by gathering data on visitor count, page visits, and the time spent on pages. They also aid in evaluating the efficacy of our marketing strategies and refining content for those interacting with our advertisements.
Your browser settings grant you the discretion to manage cookies. Many browsers allow you to deactivate the cookie functionality, preventing the acceptance of new cookies and, depending on the browser's sophistication, offer granular control over cookie acceptance. Clearing existing cookies from your device is also possible, but this might necessitate manual adjustments to preferences during subsequent visits, potentially affecting website performance.
To navigate the cookie management features, delve into the "preferences" or "options" of your browser. For comprehensive insights on cookies, including management and deletion, consult http://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
Data Protection and Duration of Retention
We're committed to safeguarding your account details and any other personal information under our care. Nonetheless, the digital realm has its vulnerabilities. Factors such as unauthorized breaches, technical malfunctions, and other unforeseen challenges might jeopardize user data security.
The duration we store your Personal Data is primarily dictated by our service delivery needs. However, in certain scenarios, longer retention might be necessitated by legal obligations, resolution of conflicts, or fee collection requirements. We might also keep data in a form that doesn’t allow direct identification.
Data Relating to Minors
Aligning with our Terms of Use, we don't intentionally gather data from individuals below 18. If, for some reason, we inadvertently obtain such data, our protocol is to purge it promptly. If you're aware of any under-18 individual sharing data with us, please alert us at info@thestage.ai.
Rights of California Residents
Residents of California have certain entitlements concerning their Personal Data, elaborated in ensuing sections. If you believe we're processing your data on behalf of another party, it's advisable to approach the original data collector for addressing your rights.
Should any contradictions arise between this segment and other sections of the Privacy Policy, and if you're a Californian, the clause offering maximum data protection will prevail. For further inquiries or clarifications regarding this section, reach out to info@thestage.ai.
Data Retrieval Rights
You can seek detailed information on our handling of your Personal Data within the past year. Upon such a request, we're obligated to share:
· The types of Personal Data we've archived about you
· The origin sources of that particular data
· The intentions behind gathering or potentially selling your Personal Data
· The third-party entities with which your Personal Data has been disclosed
· Detailed specifics of the Personal Data we’ve accrued about you
If, in the past year, we've divulged your Personal Data to third parties for operational reasons, we will specify the kind of data shared and its recipients. Similarly, if there was a sale of your Personal Data within the same period, we'd identify the type of data sold and the purchasers.
Right to Erase Data
You're entitled to ask us to purge the Personal Data we've collected regarding you. However, according to the CCPA, certain exceptions might apply. For instance, if your data is crucial for our service provision or for finalizing an action you've initiated, we might hold onto it. In cases where these exemptions apply, your deletion demand might be declined.
Exercising Your Data Rights
To invoke the aforementioned rights, either you or your designated representative must forward a request that (1) provides enough specifics for us to confirm your identity, and (2) lucidly describes your demand, enabling us to interpret, assess, and address it adequately. We’ll treat any request satisfying these conditions as a “Legitimate Request.” If a request doesn’t adhere to these guidelines, it might go unanswered. Data from a Legitimate Request is exclusively used for identification and request fulfillment. No active account is necessary to lodge a Legitimate Request.
We aim to address your Legitimate Request within 45 days. While typically free, in cases where the request is deemed excessive, redundant, or clearly baseless, a fee might be imposed. If such a fee is deemed necessary, we’ll inform you about it and its rationale prior to processing your request.
To lodge a Legitimate Request: Reach out via email at info@thestage.ai
For third-party authorization (termed “Authorized Agent”), a formal written consent from you is necessary for them to act on your behalf. We might request this document when your Authorized Agent contacts us.
Opting Out of Personal Data Sales
We affirm that we haven’t sold your Personal Data in the last year. To the best of our knowledge, we don't deal in the data of individuals below 18 years.
Non-Discrimination Assurance
In line with the CCPA, exercising your data rights won't invite any prejudice from us. This means we won't deny services, charge differential rates, or offer subpar quality if you invoke your CCPA rights. However, based on various data privacy regulations (like the CCPA), we might have varied service tiers with different pricing or quality, contingent on the worth of the Personal Data we acquire from you.
Rights Under Various State Privacy Laws
Rights of California Residents
Pursuant to California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, individuals residing in California have the authority to request us to halt the sharing of Personal Data with third parties for those third parties' own marketing aims.

We'd like to clarify that as per the definition in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A, we currently don’t engage in the sale of your Personal Data.
