This Privacy Policy is declared by UMANITEK AG, located at Untermüli 7, 6300 Zug, Switzerland (Company Registration Number: CHE-171.163.797).

Introduction

By accessing or using our website, you accept and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not access or use the website.

Please note: This Privacy Policy applies strictly to visitors of our promotional website and users submitting initial inquiries, including our Emergency Takedown Form, functioning as a part of The Guardian Response Unit Initiative. If you are a registered user of the Guardian application, the Guardian Browser Extension, your data is governed by our separate Product Privacy Policy. Any TrueSeal functionality presented on this website is provided through, and any upload and scanning of media occurs within, the Guardian application under the Product Privacy Policy; this website itself does not receive or store uploaded media files.

If you have general questions, you can contact us at [email protected]. For all privacy-related inquiries or to exercise your data rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] or write to: UMANITEK AG, Untermüli 7, 6300 Zug, Switzerland (Attn: Privacy).

By using the website, you confirm that you are of the age of majority under applicable law.

Definitions

“We/us/our” refers to UMANITEK AG, located at Untermüli 7, 6300 Zug, Switzerland.
“Website” means the promotional websites operated by us and located at https://umanitek.ai/ or any other URL which may replace it.
“You/your/yours” refers to the visitor or user of the website.
“Cookies” means small text files placed on your device to enable information about your browsing session.
“Personal Data” means information provided by you, as well as any identifiable information regarding your behavior on the website.

General Principles

We are committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors. We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard the security and confidentiality of your personal data, taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the state of the art. While we work to maintain robust security, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access or loss.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, your use of the Website is at your own risk, and Umanitek's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Website shall not exceed One Hundred Swiss Francs (CHF 100). Liability arising from the Guardian application or services is governed by the Umanitek Guardian Agent Terms and Conditions.

When you start a session on our website, we set strictly necessary session cookies to maintain your session and ensure basic site functionality. For security and troubleshooting purposes, we also collect IP addresses from users accessing the website.

Technical logs and related information, including IP addresses, are retained only as long as necessary for security, troubleshooting, or compliance purposes - generally no longer than 12 months - unless a longer retention period is required by law or to resolve an incident. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

Information We Collect and Why We Collect It

1. Contact Forms and Inquiries

We collect personal data that you provide directly to us, as well as limited technical information, in order to operate our website, communicate with you, and deliver our services.

Your first and last name, email address, role or position, and organization name.
Any information you provide in your message.
Your IP address.

Purpose and Legal Basis: To communicate with you, provide requested services, and maintain business records. Based on legitimate interests in responding to inquiries and managing business relationships, or pre-contractual steps at your request (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(f)).

2. Media & Partnership Inquiries

When you contact us (e.g., via [email protected]) for media or partnership purposes, we collect your name, role, organization, email address, inquiry details, and IP address.

Purpose and Legal Basis: To respond to your inquiry and maintain business correspondence records based on legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

3. Guardian Response Unit Submissions

When you use our emergency takedown form to report non-consensual intimate imagery we collect the information necessary to process your case and provision your secure Guardian account:

Your first and last name, email address
URL of reported content, legal attestation confirming your age and authorization to report
Your IP address

Purpose and Legal Basis: To verify your request, provision your secure Guardian dashboard, and initiate the emergency takedown process based on pre-contractual steps at your request and our legitimate interest in facilitating the removal of harmful content (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(f)).

Zero-Collection Policy: We do not collect, download, or store the underlying image or video files through this form. We process only the text-based URLs provided. Any functionality that allows you to upload images, video, or audio for analysis (including any TrueSeal scanning tool) is part of the Guardian application and is governed by our Product Privacy Policy, not this Website Privacy Policy. The website accepts only links or URLs, not in-file uploads of images, video, or audio. Where you submit a link, any media accessed via that link is processed only transiently to perform the requested check and is not stored; if it is briefly stored, it is retained only for as long as necessary, consistent with the storage-limitation principle (GDPR Article 5(1)(e)).

Submitting the Emergency Takedown Form does not create any attorney-client relationship, agency obligation, or guarantee of any outcome, and Umanitek may decline or close any submission in its discretion. Any resulting takedown activity is governed by the Guardian Response Unit Terms and Conditions and the Umanitek Guardian Agent Terms and Conditions, including their disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnities.

Once your request is verified and your Guardian account is provisioned, the ongoing handling of your case, identity verification, and takedown data is governed strictly by our Product Privacy Policy.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary. As a general guideline, contact inquiries are retained for up to 24 months after our last interaction with you. Security logs (including IP addresses) are stored for up to 12 months for troubleshooting and compliance. Once personal data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Third-Party Websites and Service Providers

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or embed third-party functionalities. These external sites are not controlled by us, and their practices are governed by their own privacy policies. Where we engage third-party service providers to process personal data on our behalf, they act as our data processors under a written contract and are bound by strict confidentiality and security obligations.

With Whom We Share Your Personal Data

We take appropriate measures to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to your personal data. We may share your data with affiliated companies, trusted service providers, and professional advisers under written agreements. We may also share data with public authorities where required by law. If personal data is transferred outside Switzerland or the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.

Sharing Your Information for Marketing Purposes

With your explicit consent, we may use limited personal data-such as your email address-to create a hashed identifier that can be shared with social media platforms (such as Facebook or Google) or marketing tools to generate leads or promote our products.

Where the EU/EEA GDPR applies, our lawful basis for this processing is your Consent (Article 6(1)(a)). The social media platforms we work with are not controlled by us; please consult their privacy policies directly. You may withdraw your consent and opt out of this processing at any time by contacting [email protected].

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, including under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the EU/UK GDPR, and applicable US State laws, you have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.
Restrict or object to the processing of your personal data.
Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (e.g., marketing).

You can exercise these rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]with "Privacy Rights Request" in the subject line, or by writing to UMANITEK AG, Untermüli 7, 6300 Zug, Switzerland (Attn: Privacy). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, such as the Swiss FDPIC or the relevant EU/UK supervisory authority.

Cookies

We use cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation and security of our website, such as those required to maintain your session.

With your prior consent, we may also use marketing or analytics cookies (including third-party pixels) to measure campaign effectiveness. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings or our website's cookie preference tool. Our website automatically intercepts and enforces Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. We do not respond to legacy “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals.

This Privacy Policy is drafted and made available in English, which shall be the sole authoritative and legally binding version. Any translation provided by Umanitek or any third party is offered for informational convenience only and shall have no legal force or effect.
