Privacy Policy

Lotic.ai Privacy Policy

Lotic.ai, Inc. (“Lotic,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) values the privacy of individuals who use our application, websites, and related services (collectively, our “Services”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and share information from users of our Services (“Users”). By using our Services, you agree to the collection, use, disclosure, and procedures this Privacy Policy describes. Beyond the Privacy Policy, your use of our Services is also subject to our Terms of Service (https://lotic.ai/terms).

Information We Collect

We may collect a variety of information from or about you or your devices from various sources, as described below.

A. Information You Provide to Us.

Registration and Profile Information. When you register to use our Services, we ask you to provide your first name, e-mail address, and password. This information is then added to your profile information. You can choose to provide additional information about yourself to your profile, including date of birth, zip code, employment status, relationship status, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, educational level, and yearly income. You can also upload a profile picture. 

Surveys and Questionnaires. Lotic is a wellness promoting insights platform that harnesses the power of storytelling, combined with artificial intelligence, to empower and help individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disorganized, dissatisfied, burnt out or just plain “languishing” to shift toward a mindset that allows them to identify and achieve goals more efficiently, be more interpersonally effective, feel more satisfied and self-accepting and feel like they are “flourishing.” In order to provide the Services, we ask you to complete a variety of surveys, prompts, and questionnaires. We will collect any responses you provide to those surveys, prompts, and questionnaires.

Communications. If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you. For example, when you contact us on the website, we will receive your first and last name, email address, the subject matter of the message, the contents of a message or attachments that you may send to us, and other information you choose to provide. If you subscribe to our mailing or recruiting list, then we will collect certain information from you, such as your first name and email address. 

Careers. If you decide that you wish to apply for a job with us, you may submit your contact information and your resume online. We will collect the information you choose to provide on your resume, such as your education and employment experience. You may also apply through LinkedIn. If you do so, we will collect the information you make available to us on LinkedIn. 

Information you Record. If you use the “Record” function on our app, you must provide us with access to your camera and/or microphone. When you record a video or audio segment, we will record and store the video and audio and we will transcribe the audio. This means we will collect your likeness, voice, and anything said during the video/audio recording. The Record function is intended only to be used by you, the user of the Services. It is ultimately your responsibility to ensure that any other persons around you are aware that the call is being recorded.

B. Information We Collect When You Use Our Services. 

Activity. When you record a “Moment” or complete a guided workout, we will record this activity so that you can track your progress.  

Device Information. We receive information about the device and software you use to access our Services, including IP address, web browser type, operating system version, phone carrier and manufacturer, application installations, device identifiers, and push notification tokens. 

Usage Information. To help us understand how you use our Services and to help us improve them, we automatically receive information about your interactions with our Services, like the pages or other content you view, the searches you conduct, and the dates and times of your visits.

Our third-party partners, such as analytics and advertising partners, may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different services. Cookies are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser.
