Summer Forever Co. (“Summer Forever” or “we”) takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to visitors of our website https://www.summer.io/, users of our software pursuant to the software evaluation terms of use dated January 15, 2024, individuals we may interact with for marketing or other commercial purposes, and any other service that we may offer that links or refers to this Privacy Policy (together, “Services”). It describes how we may collect, use, and share your Personal Information. It also explains related rights and choices you may have.
You may see other privacy notices when we collect your Personal Information for certain purposes. Those notices supplement this Policy.
When we say “Personal Information,” we mean information that can reasonably be linked to a particular individual or their household. Generally speaking, your Personal Information includes your unique identifiers (full name, phone number, email address, user name, etc.), and information about your characteristics, conditions or behavior that is associated with one of your identifiers or could otherwise reasonably be linked to you.
“Non-Personal Information,” on the other hand, has been anonymized, aggregated or de-identified such that it cannot reasonably be linked to a particular individual or their household.
The Personal Information we collect depends on the nature of your interaction with us or our Services, and may include:
From You When You Provide It. We may collect Identifiers or other Personal Information from you directly when you subscribe to/ use our Services; register an account; join our mailing list; visit our office; interact with us at an event; or otherwise communicate with us.
Automatically From Your Device. Like most online services, our Services automatically collect some information from users’ devices in order to make features function correctly, customize or improve the user experience, understand how the Service is being used, or measure the effectiveness of marketing efforts. Some of this data may be collected through the use of browser cookies, pixel tags or similar online tracking technologies, which are explained below. In some cases, we limit this type of collection to Non-Personal Information. However, this data may include Personal Information such as online Identifiers, Geolocation Data, Internet Activity and Commercial Information.
From Third Party Sources. We may obtain information about you from other sources. For example, we may collect Identifiers, Geolocation Data or Internet Activity that you have chosen to share on social media platforms. (To the extent you disclose such information through widely distributed media or on a public platform, we may not be required to treat it as Personal Information under applicable law.) We may also collect information from our customers and users of the Services.
We may combine information collected from other sources with information collected from you or your device. To the extent the information, alone or in combination, constitutes Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information as described in this Policy.
We use Personal Information for the following purposes:
We may use Non-Personal Information for any purpose.
We may share Personal Information with contractors, service providers, and other vendors who assist or support us in providing the Services. Examples of these third party services may include hosting our website or platform, storing data, performing analytics, processing payments, or sending marketing communications. Our agreements with vendors prohibit them from retaining, using or disclosing the Personal Information we share with them for any purpose other than providing services to us.
We may share your Personal Information with analytics providers or marketing partners to measure performance of our Service or marketing efforts. This sharing may involve the use of browser cookies and similar technologies placed through our Service by our partners, as explained here. For example, when you visit our website, our partner's Cookie may cause your browser to automatically send a request to our partner's server and provide our partner with your IP address, other Identifiers, Device Information and Internet Activity.
We may have a legal obligation to disclose Personal Information to government authorities or other third parties pursuant to a valid regulatory request, subpoena or court order. We may also need to disclose and otherwise process your Personal Information in accordance with applicable law to prevent physical harm or financial loss, protect the vital interests of a person, enforce our various policies or terms of use, protect our property, services and legal rights, prevent fraud, support auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions, or comply with applicable law.
We may transfer your information in the event of the sale of substantially all of the assets of our business to a third-party or in the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition or reorganization. However, in such event, any acquirer will be subject to the provisions of our commitments to you or we will not disclose your information.
We will share your Personal Information with other third parties as you may direct or otherwise consent.
Our Services are not directed to children (individuals under the age of 18). We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or process children's Personal Information unless the child's parent or guardian consents and provides the information. If we determine that we have received a child's Personal Information from a source other than the child's consenting parent/guardian, we will immediately delete the information.
We may use technologies, similar to cookies, that may allow users to be identified and tracked during their use of the Services for marketing or advertising purposes. These technologies include, but are not necessarily limited to, [pixels, web beacons and scripts]

Such use shall be subject to the terms of use and privacy policies applicable to those sites.
We don’t share Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
In order to safeguard personal information against unauthorized access or use, we maintain administrative, physical and technical security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information. We take reasonable steps to keep the personal information we possess accurate and to delete incorrect or unnecessary personal information. We regularly assess the performance and adequacy of those procedures and practices and will adjust them when new operations or risks require it. The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Should we detect such a breach, we will promptly notify affected individuals, third parties and law enforcement agencies as required by applicable law.
Typically, we retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Please note that in many situations we must retain all, or a portion, of your Personal Information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, to protect against fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal activity, or for another one of our business purposes.
As of January 15, 2024, we do not meet the definition of a covered “business” under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended. If and when we become a covered business, we will update this Policy accordingly as part of ongoing compliance efforts.
As of January 15, 2024, we do not provide our Services to data subjects in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. If you are a data subject residing in or a citizen of the aforementioned regions/countries, please note that we may process you Personal Information as per the applicable federal and/or state laws in the United States.
