Thrifty AI uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (collectively “Cookies”) when you use any of the Thrifty AI websites or services, including Thrifty Studio, the Thrifty AI APIs and SDKs, managed deployments, Thrifty Agent and artificial-human widgets embedded on our or our customers’ websites (collectively the “Services”). This Notice explains what Cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding them. We use information we collect about you through Cookies in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that are automatically downloaded to your browser or device when you visit a webpage. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and SDK identifiers. Cookies can perform a variety of functions, including recognizing you when you return to the Services, letting you navigate between webpages efficiently, remembering your preferences, delivering certain features of the Services, securing the Services, helping us understand how you use the Services, and generally helping us improve your experience with the Services. We and our vendors use Cookies for these and other purposes. We and certain third-party advertising technology vendors also use Cookies to help ensure that the online ads you see are more relevant to you and your interests. As part of how they work, Cookies can send data to us, to the party that provides the Cookie, and/or to other parties as relevant, depending on the purpose of the Cookie.
We use five types of Cookies.
When an artificial human is embedded on a website or in an application, the widget may use strictly necessary Cookies or similar browser storage (such as session storage) to maintain session continuity, for example to keep a conversation connected as you move between pages, to reconnect after a brief network interruption, and to protect the session against misuse. This storage is used only to deliver the conversation you have started and is not used for advertising.
Access to your camera, microphone or screen is not controlled by Cookies. These are browser or device permissions that you grant or deny through prompts from your browser or operating system, and that you can change or revoke at any time in your browser or device settings. Declining these permissions will limit voice, video, vision or screen-share features but will not prevent you from using other parts of the Services where text interaction is available. How voice, video, facial imagery, screen-share content and transcripts are processed is described in our Privacy Policy and, where an artificial human is deployed by one of our customers, in that customer’s own privacy notice.
We may use both “session Cookies” and “persistent Cookies.” Session Cookies operate during the time you visit our Services or until the end of a particular web browsing session, and they expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent Cookies do not expire when you close your browser. They remain on your browser or device until the time they expire (which varies by Cookie) or until you delete them (e.g., through your browser settings).
Certain third parties may also use Cookies on our Services. These third parties include, for example, certain analytics providers that help us understand use of the Services and certain advertising technology partners that help us serve online ads.
Analytics providers help us analyze how our Services are used. For example, by collecting and analyzing website usage information through their Cookies, analytics providers can tell us which pages our users view, which are most popular, what time of day our websites are visited, whether visitors have been to our websites before, what website referred the visitor to our websites, and other similar information.
We have little control over these “third party” Cookies, so we suggest that you check these third parties’ privacy policies to help you understand how these third parties collect and use data about you.
You can manage what Cookies are set on your browser or device as listed below. Please keep in mind that if you disable certain Cookies, the Services or certain features may not be available to you or may not function as intended. Also, if you use different devices to view and access the Services (i.e., your computer, phone, tablet etc.), you may need to adjust the setting on each browser on each individual device, and/or the settings on each device, to reflect your Cookie preferences.
Your options for managing Cookies include:
We may update this Notice from time to time. When we do, we will post an updated version on this page, unless another type of notice is required by applicable law. By continuing to use our Services, you are confirming that you have read and understood the latest version of this Notice.
If you have questions regarding anything in this Notice, you may contact us at privacy@thriftyai.com. You may also contact us at our mailing address: Thrifty AI, Attn: Legal, [Registered address].
