Start My Business™ Biometric Information Privacy Notice

Effective as of 17th of January 2025

  1. Introduction
    Start My Business™ is a member platform for managing member data requests, allowing users to take part in data research studies. This Biometric Privacy Notice describes how Start My Business™ (“our,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, discloses, secures, and retains biometric information when you use our services, including our retention schedule and guidelines for destroying biometric information. By uploading a video, voicemail, or SMS/Email that may contain biometric identifiers, you consent to our collection, use, disclosure, retention, and other processing of your biometric information as described in this Notice.
  2. What is Biometric Information?
    When we refer to “biometric information,” we mean information generated by measurements of your physical, behavioral, or biological characteristics that are used to identify you. As used in this Notice, “biometric information” includes “biometric identifier,” which means a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry.
  3. What Biometric Information Do We Collect?
    To create reviews of our service, we may scan audio or video footage that you submit or upload voluntarily and may collect, process, and store information such as face geometry as a result of present or future technologies. We use this information to provide and improve our products and services (including training AI models and providing reviews on our member reviews page). We may also use your audio files, videos, and biometric information to verify your identity as part of the member account creation process, to help detect and prevent fraud, and for other security and compliance purposes.
  4. How Do We Disclose Biometric Information?
    We only disclose biometric information as described in this Notice. We do not sell, lease, or trade your biometric information for profit. However, we may disclose your biometric information to limited service providers and vendors who help us provide our products and services, as well as for service reviews on our website—without disclosing your personally identifiable information beyond the unaltered audio recording left in a voicemail, for example (we bleep out any personal information).
  5. Security and Retention
    We store, transmit, and protect your biometric information using a reasonable standard of care that is at least as protective as the way we store other confidential information. However, data transmission via the Internet is not always completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We retain your biometric information for as long as necessary or relevant to create and maintain your service reviews, member account, and to improve our products and services, or for the maximum timeframe permitted by law—whichever occurs first. Once the retention period ends (or upon your request), we will permanently destroy your biometric information.

If you have questions regarding your biometric information, or wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us by email at support@startmybusiness.pro. For more information about how we process personal information, as well as your rights and choices, please review our Privacy Policy at the top of this page.
