BANZAI ENTERTAINMENT INC
Version: August 2021
Banzai’s is a production house with a team of innovative, creative, artists who love telling stories through filmmaking.
This Privacy Policy sets out how and to what extent Banzai and its partners and affiliates (“us,” “our,” or “we”) collect and use information from users who access or use our website and services, including thebanzai.com, our mobile applications, our web client or professional client, and/or any of our other sites, products, or services that link to this Privacy Policy (the “Services”). By using our Services, you understand that we will collect and use your information as described in this Privacy Policy (collectively “you”).
If you or your organization has an individual agreement with us, that agreement may have privacy terms that also apply to the information you provide to us under that agreement. Please review the terms in that agreement because they may be different or more restrictive than the terms in this Privacy Policy.
As part of our Services, users want us to collect and record information that helps the parties assess the validity of the transactions. This information includes the persons who are involved in the transactions and the devices those persons use.
SECTION 1: How We Collect Information
To provide and improve our Services and to support advertising and marketing, we collect certain, limited information about visitors to our sites, users of our Services, the devices they use, and sometimes their locations.
We collect certain information directly from you, such as when you fill out forms with a name or email address. Generally with sole respect to the functionality of our Site, we may collect other information from you automatically through your use of the Services, usually about devices, browsers, locations, usage/transactional data about how you use our Services, error logs and other similar information. Please see Section 5 regarding your further rights with respect to collected information.
You have choices about whether you visit our sites, install our apps, or provide information to us. However, if you do not provide us with certain information, you may not be able to use some parts of our Services. For example, if you do not adopt an electronic signature, then you may not be able to accept or receive certain communications or services through our service. For choices you may have, please see Section 5 of this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect from You. You provide us with information about yourself when you: Register or log in to your account; Start, sign, or review an electronic document; Create or edit your user profile; or Contact customer support.
Examples of the information you may provide are: name, email address, phone number, billing/payment information, and/or electronic signature.
You also provide us with information about others when you use parts of our Services, such as when you start or participate in an electronic transaction, and provide multiple parties with document access for signing or other purposes, add others as a member to an existing account, or
refer friends. Your main choice for these types of information is to simply not provide it, such as by not creating a profile.
We also reserve the right to keep certain transactional data (non-content data about electronic transactions you start, review, or sign) such as: names and email addresses of parties to an envelope, envelope subject, history of actions that individuals take on an envelope (e.g. review, sign) and information about those individuals or their devices, such as name, email address, IP address, and authentication methods, cookies and Related Technologies. At Banzai, our only purpose for accessing and collecting transactional data is for assistant us in helping to provide our clients with the best possible User experience, including maximizing our response and resolution times for resolving potential site and/or user issues. We have tried to reach a reasonable balance between the period of time that we maintain User Activity Logs for the foregoing purposes, versus offering the maximum amount of privacy to our Users by deleting any and all User data as quickly as prudent business practices and applicable laws allow.
We may use cookies, which are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded on your device (“Cookies”), or related technologies, such as web beacons, local shared objects and tracking pixels to store or collect information. We also allow others to use Cookies within the Services as described below. Cookies can store your preferences, and your username.
Information We Collect & Process on Behalf of Customers. When our customers use our Services, we process and store certain information on their behalf as a data processor. We act primarily as a data and communications portal, pursuant to which we process information on the customer's behalf and in accordance with their instructions. In those instances, the customer as the data controller is responsible for most aspects of the processing of the information. If you have any questions or concerns about how information is processed in these cases, including how to exercise your rights as a data subject, we recommend contacting the relevant customer.
SECTION 2: Use of Information
In general, we collect, use and store or process your information to provide our Services, to fix and improve those services, to develop new services, and to market our companies and their products and services. Here are some examples of how we use the information we process:
Provide you with the services and products you request and provide a vehicle for the forwarding and collection of payments;
Send you records of our relationship, including for purchases or other events;

This Privacy Policy does not apply to our use of such aggregated or de-identified information.
Lawful Basis for Processing Your Information. If European data protection law applies and Banzai acts as a controller, our lawful basis for collecting and using the information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the information concerned and the specific context in which we collect or use it.
We normally collect or use information from you or others only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may have a legal obligation to collect or retain personal information or may need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. For example, when we:
Use information to create and manage an account, we need it in order to provide relevant services;
Gather and record data associated with use of a digital certificate or digital signature, it is to comply with regulations;
Use names and email addresses for email marketing purposes, we do so with your consent (which you are permitted to revoke at any time); and
Gather usage data and analyze it to improve our Services, we do so based on our legitimate interest in safeguarding and improving our Services.

To keep your information safe, we use physical, electronic, and managerial tools.
