At Aislelabs Inc. (“Aislelabs”), protecting your privacy is of utmost importance to us. As technologists, and consumers ourselves, we have engineered our technology to keep your personal information private and confidential while enabling an enhanced in-venue experience. Venue managers have been observing consumer behavior in their venues using various surveys and technologies to provide better services and to reduce operational costs for a long time. Aislelabs is enabling new ways for these venues to analyze in-venue consumer behavior in an anonymous and less intrusive manner. We believe, our advanced technology will set the stage for the next generation of in-venue experience in a safe and secure fashion.

The Privacy Policy applies to Aislelabs’ collection, use and disclosure of “Personal Information”, which refers to any information about an identifiable individual or that can reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual. Aislelabs collects, uses, and discloses Personal Information in the course of providing our products and services to our venue manager clients, including our Aislelabs Connect and Aislelabs Flow services, as well as in the course of operating our day-to-day business.

This Privacy Policy may not apply if a different organization-specific or venue-specific Privacy Policy is in place.

Privacy by Design

We have designed our products to respect the users’ right to privacy from the very beginning. With Privacy by Design as our guiding principle, our approach is to be proactive in embedding privacy protection deep within our technology in a fully transparent and user-centric manner. Privacy is the default setting across all our products, where-in:

1. We will not collect and store any Personal Information without your consent (which consent is sometimes collected by the venue manager).
2. You can opt-out at any time.
3. We use industry standard cryptographic techniques and encryption to further de-identify and protect the data we collect.
   
   
   

What data our Flow product collects and how

As part of our Aislelabs Flow service, sensors in Wi-Fi devices deployed in our clients’ venues (such as malls or airports) that are connected to our service collect the MAC address from Wi-Fi capable devices that come within a certain range of those sensors, such as phones if Wi-Fi is turned on for those phones. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a phone and is different from the phone number. Along with the MAC address, we also record the signal strength to infer the distance of a phone from the sensors in Wi-Fi devices deployed in our clients’ venues that are connected to our service. A MAC address can be used to determine the make of a phone, e.g., Samsung or Apple, but it does not contain any further information about the phone or its owner.

Once a MAC address is recorded by a Wi-Fi device sensor connected to our service, it is further anonymized by the use of industry standard cryptographic techniques before being saved to our databases. These techniques include pseudonymization and hashing. The anonymization establishes an additional safeguard in protecting the collected data. All MAC address data transferred over the Internet to our Aislelabs services is encrypted.

Aislelabs uses a MAC address to identify when a device enters a venue, how long the device stays within the venue, and if and when the device returns. Information related to a specific MAC address is not shared with the venue client. Rather, Aislelabs provides our venue clients with a summary of aggregated traffic volumes and traffic data.

What data our Connect product collects and how

As part of our Aislelabs Connect service, Aislelabs also collects certain Personal Information on behalf of our venue clients when they use Aislelabs Connect to offer free Wi-Fi or similar promotions to their end users. The type of Personal Information collected will be determined by the venue client and set out in the venue client’s privacy policy and/or the Aislelabs Privacy Policy. Typically, the Personal Information collected will include email addresses so that the venue client can use Aislelabs Connect to implement marketing campaigns with the end users.

In addition to the contact information, Aislelabs will collect MAC addresses of end users’ devices, on behalf of our venue clients, to enable the Wi-Fi connection services. Aislelabs also collects the time and approximate location of the device that connects to the Wi-Fi services, which may be provided to the venue client and used to send personalized promotional offers.

Business contact information

In addition to the Personal Information collected in the course of providing our services, as described above, Aislelabs also collects Personal Information about our customers, prospects, and supplier representatives, which may include: name, email address, title, business phone number, time zone, business address, as well as Business information, including but not limited to, IT systems, site details Wi-Fi infrastructure details, network and firewall information, and information of corporate systems.

If you are a user of any Aislelabs services, then Aislelabs collects certain Personal Information from you to create an account and to communicate with you about Aislelabs service-related matters such as support. Specifically, in order to create an Aislelabs services account, you will be required to provide an email address and to create a password for your Aislelabs services account. Optionally, you may also provide your name and the time zone in which you reside. All of the foregoing Personal Information is considered to be “Account Information”. Account Information is used to manage your account, to verify your credentials for logging-in to the Aislelabs services, to communicate with you about your account, to communicate with you about the Aislelabs services, and to verify your eligibility to become a Aislelabs services user in certain circumstances. In addition, Aislelabs may collect usage data associated with your Account, including metadata regarding time of usage and IP address of the user. This usage data is specifically used for trouble shooting and maintain audit logs. Aislelabs uses various third-party cloud services, such as customer relationship management services, to process and store business contact information and communicate with the business representatives.
