4.4 Users
4.4.1 General
In order to provide services to its Users, Falcon AI collects certain types of data from them. Furthermore, Falcon AI's Users collect information from Guests when they interact with them using Falcon AI's various platforms. This section will describe how these two types of data are collected and used by Falcon AI as well as geographical differences that effect this policy. Data entered or transferred into Falcon AI by Users such as texts, questions, contacts, media files, etc., remains the property of the User and may not be shared with a third party by Falcon AI without express consent from the User.
4.4.2 Collection of User data
During a User's registration and later on Falcon AI's platform, they provide information such as name, company name, email, address, telephone, public URLs, competitor list and other relevant data. This information is used by Falcon AI to identify the User and provide them with support, services, mailings, sales and marketing actions, billing and to meet contractual obligations.
Falcon AI Users can at any time access and edit, update or delete their contact details by logging in with their username and password to Falcon AI's platform. Falcon AI Users may create more Users with different privilege levels within their account. It is the responsibility of the User that creates other User accounts, to choose the level of access each User should have. Once these new Users log into Falcon AI, they meet the definition of User in this policy. Falcon AI will not retain User data longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws or regulations.
4.4.3 Collection of Guest data
Guest data collected by the User by various means including that collected from PMS, CRS, Channel Manager, Booking Engine, and directly from the Guest is the responsibility of the User. Falcon AI only processes such data and generates analytics over it. It is the User's responsibility to ensure that collection and processing of data is done in accordance with applicable law. Falcon AI will not process Personal Data for other purposes or by other means than instructed by its Users.
Guest data includes data from individuals uploaded, transferred or manually entered by a Falcon AI User into their account for the different purposes as decided by the User. Personal Data may include, personal contact information such as name, home address, home telephone or mobile number, email address, information concerning family, lifestyle and social circumstances including age, date of birth, marital status, number of children, employment details, education/qualification, business contact details, gender, religion, race, health detail and other sensitive Personal Data. Answers to questions by Guests and interaction with the User, may also include Personal Data.
The purpose of collecting Personal Data as part of the platform will vary depending on the Falcon AI products being used by the User. As Falcon AI provides its platforms to a wide group of customers and businesses, the purpose may vary greatly. For Users in the EEA, or for Users interacting through Falcon AI's platforms to Guests in the EEA, the User will be the "controller", as defined in the Directive and the GDPR. The purpose will consequently be defined by Falcon AI's User.
