Effective Date: October 15, 2026 for any Account created on or after that date. For an Account existing on that date, this version takes effect thirty (30) days after itogai gives notice under the Customer Terms of Service, and the version in effect before this one governs until then. Last Modified: October 15, 2026 Document Version: PP-2026-10-15 v5.1
This Privacy Policy describes how Itogai LLC, a Florida limited liability company with its principal office in Lake Worth, Florida, United States of America (“itogai,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, shares, retains and protects Personal Data, and sets out the rights of the individuals whose Personal Data we process.
What this Policy covers
This Policy applies to the itogai relationship intelligence platform (the “Subscription Service”) wherever and however it is accessed, including through any itogai website, application, client, extension or interface, present or future. It also applies to the itogai marketing website, to the Trustbound™ Revenue Program and other Professional Services, and to our relationships with prospective customers, partners, podcast guests, event attendees and the public.
This Policy defines its scope by what itogai does, never by where itogai does it. A new itogai surface is covered by this Policy from the day it exists, without an amendment. What each surface runs on, and what device capabilities it may request, is recorded in the Product Surface Register, which is published, versioned and incorporated into this Policy by reference.
This Policy describes every capability of the Subscription Service as designed, whether or not a particular capability is enabled for a particular account at a particular time. Whether a capability is available to an account is shown in the Subscription Service and is not restated here.

1. Who we are and the roles we hold
1.1 What itogai does. itogai is a relationship intelligence platform. It helps the people who use it understand and take care of their professional relationships, through the TrustGraph™ scoring algorithm, TrustRings™ network organization, the TrustReach™ action layer, and Akai, itogai’s relationship intelligence co-pilot.
1.2 The roles we hold.
- For information about our customers, our website visitors, our event attendees, our podcast audience and other prospective customers, itogai acts as a controller under the GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss FADP and LGPD, and as a business under the CCPA where the CCPA applies to it.
- For Customer Data that a customer imports, or that we receive from a Data Source the customer has authorized, itogai generally acts as a processor, as an operador under the LGPD and, for Personal Information subject to the CCPA, as a service provider under it. That processing is governed by the Customer Terms of Service and the Data Processing Agreement that forms part of them.
- Where a customer uses a Group to collaborate with colleagues, the organization that holds the Group is the controller of the Group record. Section 8.4 sets out what a Group does and does not make visible.
2. The Personal Data we collect
2.1 Account Data. Name, email address, employer, role, time zone, language preference, and the authentication tokens issued when you sign in or connect a Data Source. itogai never sees, stores or asks for the password of an account you connect.
2.2 Billing Data. Billing entity name, billing contact, billing address, the country in which the customer’s legal entity is registered where that is relevant to pricing eligibility, and tax identifiers. Payment instrument details are collected directly by our payment processor and are never transmitted through or stored by itogai.
2.3 Usage Data. How the Subscription Service is used: screens viewed, features used, Spark consumption, timing of activity, referring pages and comparable telemetry.
2.4 Device and Log Data. IP address, browser or client type and version, operating system, language, and access logs. Where you enable notifications on a surface that offers them, this also includes a push subscription identifier issued by the notification provider. The Product Surface Register records which surfaces offer notifications.
2.5 Communications. The content of messages you send us, survey responses and in-product feedback.
2.6 Customer Data, meaning data you connect, upload, import or read on screen. What a customer brings into an account through one of the five ways in Section 3.1, and what itogai derives from it:
- contact records: name, email address, phone number, professional information (such as title, employer, work history and education), a professional web address, and a birthday where the customer records one. No contact record holds a location;
- relationship metadata derived from communication and calendar activity, meaning envelope fields such as sender, recipient, timestamp and subject, including those of a message the customer sends from itogai through their own account;
- professional information about a contact in an import the customer started, or about the one person the customer names to reach, that itogai completes as Section 3.3 describes;
- conversation metadata from a conversation file the customer imports or a conversation the customer saves from their screen: who took part, when, how often, in which conversation and in which direction, and the names and phone numbers shown for the people in it;
- structured relationship signals derived from a source the customer has consented to at Level 2, as described in Section 4; and
- enrichment data added through a data provider at the customer’s request, such as a title, an employer, a work email address, a work or mobile phone number and a professional web address.
2.6a Audio a person records. Where a person chooses to record a voice input, itogai receives that audio recording and sends it to the transcription provider named in the AI Provider Register. itogai does not retain the recording after transcription. No itogai surface records audio at any other time.
2.6b The enrichment store and the shared copy. Where a customer requests enrichment of a contact, or the completion of Section 3.3 fills a card in an import the customer started, itogai retains the result against that contact record in that account’s own copy so the same lookup is not repeated. Where the provider’s written agreement permits a shared copy, the fields obtained from that provider are also kept once in the shared copy, which Section 5.8a describes. Section 11.1 states how long, and Section 13.6 sets out how a person who is not a user asks for removal from both.
2.6c Feedback between users. Where a user rates an introduction or a counterpart, itogai holds the rating, any comment, and the standing it derives from them, and shows that standing to the two people concerned. A comment a User marks as for itogai only is read by itogai and shown to nobody else.
2.7 Data about people who are not users. When a customer imports a contact, connects a Data Source, or imports or saves from their screen a conversation, itogai receives Personal Data about people who do not themselves use the Subscription Service, and the completion and enrichment of Section 3.3 add professional information about them from the sources it names, at the customer’s request or as part of an import the customer started. A conversation includes other people, and it may incidentally contain sensitive content the customer did not set out to share. itogai reads a conversation only at the level the customer has consented to for that source (Section 4), derives relationship signals, never stores the text, and never derives or keeps a signal that reveals an excluded category under Section 2.8. We process this data on the customer’s behalf, the customer is responsible for having a lawful basis to bring it in, and Section 13.6 sets out what those individuals may ask of us directly, including removal.
2.7a Consent records. When you consent to a source, or turn content signals on or off for it, itogai records the date, the consent text you were shown in your language, your locale, the content signals setting at that moment and, for integrity only and never shown to anyone, a hash of your IP address and browser identifier. If the text ever changes, you are shown it again for that source with a line saying what changed.
2.8 What itogai does not collect. itogai does not knowingly collect, and asks customers not to submit: protected health information; payment card data beyond what the payment processor collects directly; government-issued identifiers; biometric data used to identify a person; precise geolocation or a device’s location; or information about anyone under the age of eighteen (18).
No itogai surface requests a device’s location at any precision, or its address book. Microphone access is requested only at the moment a person chooses to record a voice input, and photo library and camera access only at the moment a person chooses to set a profile photo, and only on the surfaces the Product Surface Register records. The itogai companion acts only on the person’s click, reads a page only on a site the person has consented to and whose terms permit it, and keeps no message text. From its toolbar, on the person’s click, it reads the address and title of the tab the person is on, and nothing else from that tab, to save them with the person’s note. It never reads, keeps or sends a site’s cookies or a sign-in session. What each surface may request, and what it requests as built, is stated in the Product Surface Register. A capability that appears in the register as “may request” but not as “requests” is not in use, and itogai treats any divergence between the register and a surface as both a breach of the register as incorporated and a defect to be corrected in the surface.
2.9 How itogai handles this data internally. Inside itogai, every category above is classified, and each classification carries its own handling, retention, access, deletion and permitted-recipient rules. No classification holds anything this Policy does not disclose. The classification exists so that the commitments in this Policy can be checked against the systems that hold the data, and the security page at itogai.app/legal/security describes the program that does the checking.
3. Where data comes from
itogai receives Personal Data directly from you, automatically through your use of the Subscription Service, from the Data Sources a customer authorizes, from data providers at a customer’s request or as part of an import the customer started, and from available public sources at a customer’s request.
3.1 The five ways data enters an account. Every Data Source enters through one of five ways, each initiated and turned on by the customer and none on by default: connected accounts (an email, calendar, contacts or record system connected through the provider’s own sign-in and revocable there or in itogai); archive and file imports (a copy of the customer’s own data that the customer requests from a service through that service’s own download feature and uploads, a spreadsheet the customer maps, a contacts file, a file selected in a cloud drive, or an AI conversation export); conversation exports (a conversation file the customer exports and uploads, produced in compliance with the source service’s terms, that holds only the conversation itself and never another service’s credentials, keys or backups); on-screen reading (a conversation the customer has open on a site they have consented to and whose terms permit it, which the customer saves to their account with the itogai companion on their own click, only that conversation and only the part the customer has displayed on screen, never in the background and never while the customer is signed out of itogai); and manual entry (what the customer types or saves by hand, including the address and title of a page saved with a note from the companion’s toolbar, which is the only path to Level 3).
3.2 Which sources itogai supports. The page Supported sources and import methods at itogai.app/legal/data-sources describes, by category, the sources itogai supports and the way each enters an account. It is informational, and it is not incorporated into this Policy: this Policy speaks by the way data enters and by category, so that a source can be added without changing what we promise. Free-text fields in a connected record system are not read: itogai reads the structured fields and leaves the free text alone.
3.3 Professional information itogai completes. To complete your contacts, itogai uses professional information from available public sources and from the data providers listed in our Sub-processors register. When a customer imports contacts, itogai completes their cards this way, within a monthly number of profile completions the Service Schedule states. When a customer names a person they want to reach, itogai completes that person’s profile the same way and keeps it only in that customer’s account. Where a customer requests enrichment of a contact, a data provider returns business contact details such as a title, an employer, a work email address, a work or mobile phone number or a professional web address. A completed card can hold a name, professional information (such as title, employer, work history and education) and a professional web address. itogai never keeps a location. A customer can turn the completion off and delete what it wrote at any time. This information can be incomplete or out of date, and itogai doesn’t guarantee its accuracy.
This Policy does not apply to a third party’s own site or service. The Subscription Service links to and integrates with systems itogai does not control, including every Data Source you connect and our payment processor. itogai is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of any of them, and their own policies govern what they do with your data.
Connecting a source is always an act by the customer. itogai requests only the permissions necessary to provide the Subscription Service, and the authorization screen presented by the source describes exactly what is being granted. Permission to send email or to write calendar events is requested only the first time a customer sends or schedules from itogai, never when an account is connected. Any authorization may be revoked at any time, either inside the Subscription Service or in the settings of the source itself. Section 11.3 sets out what happens to data already derived when a source is disconnected.
4. How content is handled: the three levels
Every source itogai reads is handled at one of three levels. The level is set per source, stated here by category, and shown in the product for each source you have brought in.
| Level | What happens |
|---|---|
| Level 1. Metadata only | itogai reads and retains envelope metadata only: sender, recipient, timestamp, subject and comparable fields. Body content is never read and never stored. This is the default for every source. |
| Level 2. Derived signal | Content is read in memory for the limited purpose of extracting relationship signal, and then discarded. Only the derived signal persists. Raw text is never written to itogai’s database |
| Level 3. Retained content | Raw text persists. This applies only to what a person saves by hand. No automated path writes to this level |
By category. A connected mailbox and calendar are Level 1, and the structured fields of a connected record system are read as contact, company, deal and activity records while its free text is not read (Section 3.2). A spreadsheet, a contacts file, a data export and a document selected as a contact source are read once to extract the contact fields they hold, and no text from them is retained; for a file a person selects as a contact source, a model provider in the AI Provider Register may do the extraction, as that register states. A conversation file, an AI conversation export and an on-screen conversation are Level 1 unless content signals are on for that source, when they are Level 2. Manual entry is Level 3.
Two rules bind these levels permanently.
- Email message bodies never rise above Level 1. This is absolute. No consent, no setting, no product update and no future source moves them.
- A level is raised only by the customer’s own consent, for that specific source. A level is never raised by default, by a product update, or by adding a new source.
Email is read through the narrowest permission each provider offers for message metadata, so the provider itself does not return a message body, and calendar events are read without their descriptions.
Text you send or schedule from itogai. When you send a message from itogai through your own connected account, its text exists only until your provider confirms the send, and a description you write in itogai for an event only until your calendar confirms it. What stays is who, when, the subject or title and the provider’s identifiers, at Level 1.
Content signals, the Level 2 setting. Content signals are a per-source setting, off by default. We ask you at the moment you connect, upload or read a source, with a concrete example of what the setting adds (with content signals on, itogai can tell that you and a contact talked about an introduction last month and remind you to follow up; without it, itogai only knows you talked). With the setting on, the text of that source is read once, in memory, to derive relationship signals, and discarded. You can turn it off in settings at any time: that deletes every signal derived from content for that source and keeps everything derived from who, when and how often. Turning it on affects future imports only, because raw files no longer exist. Email is never a source this setting can apply to.
Why itogai states the level rather than a slogan. The phrase “we never read your messages” would be inaccurate, so itogai does not use it. At Level 1 there is nothing to read, because only the envelope is requested. At Level 2, content is read in memory and discarded, and only a derived signal remains. Naming the level is the only description that stays true across every source.
5. Why we use Personal Data
Legal bases under the GDPR, UK GDPR and LGPD are noted in parentheses.
5.1 To provide the Subscription Service. To operate accounts; to compute TrustGraph scores, TrustRings organization and TrustReach recommendations; to deliver Professional Services; and to carry out the actions a user initiates, including sending, from the user’s own account, a message the user reviewed and clicked send on, and scheduling an event the user chose. (Performance of a contract; legitimate interests; consent where required.)
5.2 To bill and manage payments. Including verifying eligibility for any pricing adjustment a customer requests, and administering refunds. (Performance of a contract; legal obligation.)
5.3 To communicate with you. To answer support requests; to send transactional messages about your account, security and billing; and, where you have opted in, to send product and marketing messages you can unsubscribe from at any time. (Performance of a contract; legitimate interests; consent for marketing where required.)
5.4 To send notifications you have enabled. Where you enable notifications on a surface that supports them, we use a push delivery provider to deliver them. A notification may contain the name of a person in your network, because that is what makes it useful. Notifications are turned off by declining the permission or by changing the setting on the surface, and doing so stops delivery. (Consent; performance of a contract.)
5.5 To improve and develop the Subscription Service. To understand how it is used, to find and fix problems, and to improve the TrustGraph scoring algorithm. This uses aggregated and de-identified data only, and nothing pooled across customers trains, tunes or calibrates the scoring model. itogai does not use identifiable Customer Personal Data to improve the Subscription Service or the scoring model, except that the scoring uses an account’s own data within that account, as part of providing the Subscription Service to it; what the scoring learns from that data is never used for another account, and it is deleted with the account’s data. (For itogai’s own Account, Usage and Device Data, legitimate interests. Customer Personal Data is processed only on the customer’s instructions under the Data Processing Agreement.)
5.6 Security and abuse prevention. (Legitimate interests; legal obligation.)
5.7 To comply with law and enforce our rights. (Legal obligation; legitimate interests.)
5.8 What we never do with Customer Data. We do not use Customer Data, including anything received from a restricted Google API scope, for advertising, and we do not use it to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models. Section 6.4 states how that commitment is made and verified with each model provider. We never sell the Personal Data of the people in a customer’s network, and never share it with anyone for their own purposes; we never combine one customer’s contact data with another customer’s to build a profile of a person; and no path exists in the Subscription Service that serves one customer’s contact data to another customer except network sharing that the customer whose contacts it shows switched on (Section 8.4a) or a Group both belong to. The shared copy of Section 5.8a is not one customer’s contact data: it holds only professional fields obtained from data providers, never anything a customer brought in, saw in their own account or typed. These are commitments built into the product, not settings, and Section 7.2 of the Data Processing Agreement states them contractually.
5.8a The shared copy. Where a data provider’s written agreement permits a shared copy, itogai keeps the fields it obtained from that provider about a person once, in that shared copy. itogai is the controller of the shared copy. It holds only fields obtained from a data provider: no user or import identifier, no count of the accounts that hold the person, and nothing a customer brought in, saw in their own account or typed. It is used for an account only for a person already in that account’s contacts, on that account’s own request or as part of an import that account started, and the action is charged as the Service Schedule states, and what it supplies is copied into that account’s own copy. An account that holds the person can see that the shared copy holds fields for them before it pays, and nothing else. A shared row that no account holds anymore is deleted within thirty (30) days, and a removal request under Section 13.6 deletes it at once. itogai relies on its legitimate interests in running the Subscription Service efficiently and in limiting how often a person’s professional information is requested from data providers, on the basis of the written assessment Section 5.9 describes. The shared copy is never sold, never shared with anyone for their own purposes, and never used to build a profile of a person across accounts.
5.9 The people in our users’ networks. Most of the Personal Data itogai holds about a person who is not a user is held on a customer’s behalf, and the customer is the controller with the lawful basis Section 2.7 describes. For the limited processing itogai carries out in its own name about those people (operating the features that necessarily concern them, deriving relationship signals and TrustGraph scores for the user’s own judgment, answering their requests, keeping the never-sell and no-cross-customer rules, keeping the shared copy of Section 5.8a, and carrying the lines in introduction emails that point to the notice described below), itogai relies on its legitimate interests and those of its users in taking care of relationships they already have, on the basis of a written assessment that balances those interests against the rights of the people concerned and that is available to a supervisory authority on request. That processing involves an estimate of relationship strength, which is profiling in the sense the GDPR uses the word: it is shown only to the user whose network the person is in and, at that user’s direction, to tools that user connects, it is never shown to the person scored, it produces no decision about the person, and it is never used for employment, credit, insurance, housing or any decision with legal or similarly significant effect (Section 6.3). itogai does not tell each person at the moment a user brings them in, for the reasons recorded per source type in an assessment kept under Article 14(5)(b) of the GDPR; instead, the page Notice to people in our users’ networks at itogai.app/legal/network-notice carries everything Article 14 requires, in plain terms, every introduction email a user sends through itogai from their own account carries one line, “Sent via itogai”, that links that page, an introduction email itogai sends from its own address carries a line saying how the sender came to use itogai and how to ask itogai for removal, and Section 13.6 gives every person the removal path and every right without an account. A person may object to this processing at any time, and itogai honors the objection.
6. Akai and automated processing
6.1 What Akai is. Akai is itogai’s relationship intelligence co-pilot. It drafts messages for your review, surfaces possible warm introduction paths, prepares context briefs, and answers questions you ask about your own network.
6.2 What Akai does not do. Akai does not send anything. Every outbound message it drafts is delivered only after a person has reviewed it and clicked send, and it goes out from that person’s own connected account, as them; the one exception is an introduction email their own account can’t send, which they can choose to send from intros@itogai.com, in itogai’s own name (Section 18). There is no automatic send, no scheduled send on your behalf, and no configuration that creates one. This is a design commitment, not a default setting, and it applies to every surface.
6.3 Scores are support for your judgment. A TrustGraph score is a probabilistic estimate produced from the signals available to it. It is not an assessment of a person’s character, creditworthiness, employability or eligibility for anything. itogai does not make, and does not enable, a decision that produces a legal or similarly significant effect on a person by automated means. Section 13.2 records your related right.
6.4 The model providers. Akai runs on third-party model providers. itogai engages a model provider only where that provider commits that our Customer Data will not be used to train the provider’s general-purpose models, and a provider that will not commit is not engaged. What each engaged provider has committed to, and the date we last verified it, is stated per provider in the AI Provider Register, because it rests on a separate instrument with each one and those instruments differ.
6.4a Where you run Akai on your own key. On the plans the Service Schedule states, you may run Akai on your own key with a provider in the AI Provider Register. Prompt content then leaves under your own agreement with that provider, and the training position that register records for itogai’s account does not apply to that traffic. Section 3a of the register states this in full.
6.5 What is never sent to a model provider, and what transits. Email message bodies are never sent. Where you have turned content signals on for an imported or on-screen conversation, its text may transit one model provider named in the AI Provider Register once, at import, to derive relationship signals; the text of a spreadsheet, contacts file or document you select as a contact source may transit one provider once, to extract contact fields only, and is not retained; no provider uses it to train its models, no provider keeps it beyond the period its verified terms set for abuse monitoring (today, up to thirty (30) days, or fifty-five (55) days for Google, and longer for content a provider’s own systems flag for a policy violation) unless itogai holds a zero-data-retention agreement with that provider, in which case nothing is kept, the request carries no account identifier, and the AI Provider Register says so in one line. Anything held at Level 1 is never available to be sent, because it is never read or stored in the first place.
6.6 Every generated text says so. Every Akai output carries a marker that identifies it as generated, on every surface, together with the statement that a score is support for your own judgment. itogai keeps that marker in every release. Where the law of a place where the Subscription Service is offered requires generated text to be identified as such, this is how itogai meets it.
6.7 How itogai governs its AI features. Only providers named in the AI Provider Register can receive prompt content, through a list fixed in configuration; every request runs inside a limit on the amount of text it may carry; content from a source, a file or a page is handled as data and never as an instruction; a model’s output is treated as untrusted until a person reviews it; itogai checks the behavior of every Akai feature before each release that touches it; and a message sent without a person’s click, or an output that exposes the scoring model’s mechanics, is treated as a security incident. The AI tools itogai’s own team uses to build the Subscription Service work under the same rules: they never hold a production secret and never publish a change on their own.
7. Google API Limited Use disclosure
itogai’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other application adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:
- We use Google user data only to provide or improve user-facing features that are visible and prominent in the Subscription Service.
- We do not transfer Google user data to others except as necessary to provide or improve those user-facing features; to comply with applicable law; or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, in each case after obtaining the user’s explicit consent or as otherwise permitted by Google.
- We do not use Google user data for advertising of any kind, including retargeting, personalized advertising and interest-based advertising.
- We do not allow humans to read Google user data, except with the user’s affirmative agreement for specific messages; when necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse; when necessary to comply with applicable law; or where the data is aggregated and used for internal operations in accordance with applicable privacy policies.
- We do not use data obtained through Google Workspace APIs to develop, improve or train generalized or non-personalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models, and we do not transfer such data to a third party for that purpose.
- Nothing received from Google APIs, raw or derived, feeds the scoring model or any other model beyond providing the features of the account it belongs to.
What itogai receives from Google, and why. Message metadata from Gmail (sender, recipients, date and subject), under Gmail’s metadata-only permission, to understand who you’re in touch with and how often; events on calendars you own (time, title and attendees, without descriptions), to understand who you meet; the contacts you hold (name, email address, phone number, employer and role); and, only when you first choose to, permission to send an email you reviewed and clicked send on and to create an event you scheduled, used for nothing else.
Gmail’s restricted scope is held at Level 1 under Section 4, and email message bodies are never read or stored. itogai’s compliance with the Google API Services User Data Policy is the subject of its App Defense Alliance CASA verification at Assurance Level 1 (formerly Tier 2).
8. How we share Personal Data
We do not sell Personal Data, and we do not share Personal Data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
8.1 With sub-processors. Third parties that process Personal Data on our behalf, under written agreements limiting them to the services they provide to us. They are listed in the Sub-processors register, described in Section 9.
8.2 With other users. An account belongs to one person and is never shared between people, as Section 2.2 of the Customer Terms of Service states. What another user can see of your Customer Data is limited to what you contribute to a Group (Section 8.4) or share through network sharing (Section 8.4a).
8.3 With third parties you authorize. Where you direct itogai to send data to a system you have connected with your own credentials, itogai transmits it at your direction. Those destinations are listed in the Sub-processors register under customer-directed recipients. Data already delivered to one of them is governed by your own agreement with that provider, and itogai cannot retrieve or delete it.
8.4 Inside a Group. Where a customer’s organization holds a Group, a member contributes a contact to it only by choosing to, member by member. An organization may make contribution a condition of membership in a Group it holds, and a member who joins on that condition has made that choice; where it does, or where a member opts in, the Group pools derived, aggregate signals at Group level, scoped to that Group, and a member’s individual relationship data stays with the member who observed it. What a Group makes visible to other members is business-card depth: a contact’s name, employer, role and the fact that a colleague knows them. It does not expose relationship scores, communication metadata, message content, or the strength or history of any colleague’s relationship, and there is no setting that widens it. A member can see at all times whether their contacts are contributed, and can stop contributing going forward at any time. The organization holding the Group is the controller of the Group record.
8.4a Sharing your network. You may switch on network sharing: one setting for your whole account, off by default, which asks you to confirm before it turns on. With it on, other itogai users who have you as a contact can see you as a bridger and ask you for an introduction to someone you know; they see, for a person you know, a name, employer and role and the fact that you know them, at business-card depth, and nothing else. Anyone further along a route than the people you know appears to them by role at most, as Section 8.4b says. With it off, nobody can. Switching it off takes effect at once: what others could see through it leaves their view on their next read, and nothing derived from it survives against their accounts.
8.4b On a path. Where the Subscription Service shows you a route to a person you do not know, the people between you who are not your own contacts appear by role only, never by name, and nothing about them is retained on your account.
8.5 Where a facilitated introduction involves a fee. Where the Subscription Service is used to request an introduction and the person making it has set a fee, the requesting person pays it in Sparks or in cash through itogai’s payment processor, which settles a cash fee to the person making the introduction; itogai does not hold or control funds. The fee is agreed between the two people concerned, and itogai takes no share of it beyond the platform fee stated in the Service Schedule. Whether the person making the introduction tells the person being introduced that a fee is involved is that person’s decision. If you were introduced to someone through itogai and you ask us whether a fee was involved, we answer honestly, once we have confirmed you were a party to that introduction. A person who affirmatively states that no fee was involved when one was is in breach of the Acceptable Use Policy. The Bridger Terms set out the full arrangement.
8.6 For legal reasons. Where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with law, legal process or a governmental request; to enforce our agreements; to protect the security or integrity of the Subscription Service; or to protect the rights, property or safety of itogai, our customers or others.
8.7 In a business transaction. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy or sale of assets, Personal Data may transfer to the acquiring entity, subject to the protections in this Policy or to notice of any change to them.
8.8 With your consent. For any other purpose, with your consent.
