individuals that fill out a contact us form or otherwise contact us.
• Contact information. We collect phone numbers and email addresses from
tenants who sign up for an account with us and/or in order to enable their
visitors to call them through the intercom system. In addition, users of our
intercom can choose to sync the contacts on their mobile device with our
app in order to easily send their contacts a virtual key to their unit (this is an
optional feature that users can enable; we never collect contacts from your
phone without your express permission).
• Account information. We collect email addresses and passwords from
individuals who sign up for an account.
• Communications. We collect communications that individuals share with us
in connection with customer support requests, questions submitted through
our website, and requests for product information.

LockerMD, we may collect information about your education, experience,
qualifications, employment history.
Categories of personal information that we may collect automatically from users of
the Services include:
• Technical information (for example, browser and device type, IP address,
cookies, and operating system)

frequency of visits)
Categories of personal information that we may collect from other sources include:
• We receive the names, addresses, and phone numbers of tenants (either
directly or through APIs) from building owners, building managers, and
property management service companies when they onboard Geeked

• To support our sales efforts, we partner with third party lead generators and
receive names and contact information of potential clients;
• To support our sales efforts, we may from time to time purchase names and
contact information of potential clients from third-party partners.
Finally, we may collect personal information pursuant to a legal or contractual
requirement, and failure to provide such information may impact our ability to
fulfill our obligations.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We may use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
• Provide the Services. We use your personal information to enable you to
interact with the Services (i.e. to allow visitors to contact you through the
intercom).
• Risk mitigation and security. We use Property Access Information to
protect residents in the building. In connection with self-guided tours, we use
your driver’s license to verify your identity for risk mitigation purposes.
• Communication and marketing. We may use your personal information to
communicate with you about the Services, respond to your questions, or
offer you additional products or services.
• Comply with the law and exercise our rights. We may use your personal
information as reasonably necessary to assess and ensure compliance with
applicable laws, legal requirements, and company policies; to protect our
assets or to investigate or defend against any claims of illegality or
wrongdoing (including to obtain legal advice or to establish, exercise or
defend legal rights); and in response to a court order or judicial or other
government subpoena or warrant.
• Corporate transaction. We may use your personal information in the event
we undertake or are involved in or contemplating any merger, acquisition,
reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or insolvency event.
• Recruitment and hiring. We may use your personal information to
evaluate your candidacy when you apply for a job with us.
• Manage our website. We may use personal information to analyze how
people use our website and to improve our website offerings.
We may also aggregate, anonymize, or otherwise de-identify your personal
information and use it for any purpose permitted by applicable law.
Some jurisdictions require that we determine a “lawful basis” for processing
personal information. Where such requirements exist, we rely on the following
lawful bases for our processing activities: that you have consented to the
processing; that the processing is necessary for the performance of our contract
with you; that we have a legal obligation; or that we have a legitimate interest in
providing and improving the Services and managing our business operations. To
the extent we process personal information on behalf a customer, we rely on the
lawful basis as determined by that customer.
Use of Cookies
When you use the Services, we may send one or more cookies (which are small text
files containing a string of alphanumeric characters) to your computer or mobile
device, to help analyze our web page flow, customize our content, measure
promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. We may use both
“persistent” cookies (that are stored by your web browser and remain valid for up
to 180 days) and “session” cookies (that expire when you close your web browser).
We use cookies to identify you when you visit our website and as you navigate our
website, to help display advertisements that we think will be relevant to you, and to
help us analyze the use and performance of our website. You are always free to
decline our cookies if your browser permits, although doing so may interfere with your ability to use the Services or certain features of the Services. We may also use Google Analytics or a similar service that uses cookies to help us analyze how users
use the Services.
We also allow certain third parties such as advertising networks, analytics
providers, and widget providers to place cookies in order to collect information
about your online activities over time and across different websites when you
access or use the Services.
Currently, various browsers offer a “Do Not Track” option, but there is no standard
for how “Do Not Track” should work on commercial websites. Due to the lack of
such standards, this website does not respond to “Do Not Track” consumer browser
settings.
How and When We Disclose Your Personal Information
We do not sell personal information to anyone for any purpose. We may
disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients, to be
used only for legitimate purposes in keeping with this Privacy Notice:
• Group companies and affiliates. We may disclose, share, or transfer your
information to any business entity that is part of our corporate family.
• Service providers and professional advisors. We may disclose your
information to third party vendors, service providers and contractors who
provide services in support of our business operations. This can include
landlords, property owners, and our advertising and analytics providers. We
may also disclose your personal information to our professional advisors
such as our attorneys, accountants, and insurance providers. In addition,
when you sign up for a self-guided tour of a property, we collect your
government-issued ID (i.e., your driver’s license) and a photo “selfie” that you
take of yourself and we provide them to our vendor, which compares
information from both documents to verify your identity in order to enable
us to prevent theft or other security incidents in connection with the
Services. Our vendor may collect and store biometric information in order to
provide us with this service, but we do not receive or store or otherwise use
any biometric information. We instruct our vendor to comply with all
applicable privacy laws, including those governing biometric information.
• Parties involved in a corporate transaction. We may disclose your
information to relevant third parties in the event of a divestiture, merger,
consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy.
• Law enforcement or other governmental entities. We may disclose your
information if required to do so by law or if we believe in good faith that such
action is necessary to comply with the law, prevent unlawful activity, defend
our rights, or maintain security.
• Other third parties with your consent. We may disclose your information
to any other third party where you have provided consent to such disclosure.
Security, Retention & Transfer of Personal Information
We have implemented and maintain commercially reasonable and appropriate
technical and organizational measures designed to protect the confidentiality,
integrity, and security of your personal information. Please note, however, that no
security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We therefore cannot guaranty and
do not warrant the absolute security of your personal information. We retain your
personal information for no longer than reasonably necessary to fulfill the
purposes for which we collected it or to comply with the law, prevent fraud,
facilitate an investigation, defend against legal claims, or exercise our legal rights.
Personal information collected from tenants outside the United States is stored on
servers in Germany. You may contact us using the contact information provided
below to learn more about the appropriate safeguards that apply to your personal
information.
Your Choices & Rights
You may decline to share certain information with us, in which case we may not be
able to provide to you some of the features and functionality of the Services. Once
you have registered for an account with us, you may update or correct your profile
information and preferences at any time by accessing your account preferences
page through the Services. If you do not wish to receive marketing communications
from us, you can opt-out by using the unsubscribe process at the bottom of the
email, but you may still receive transactional or administrative emails from us (i.e.,
customer service). Although your changes are reflected promptly in active user
databases, we may retain all information you submit for a variety of purposes,
including backups and archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, and analytics.
Depending on your location and subject to local law, you may have certain rights
with respect to your personal information. These may include: the right to access,
correct, and delete your personal information; the right to restrict or object to our
use of your personal information; and the right to receive a portable copy of your
personal information in a usable format. If you provide us with consent to use your
personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time, however, such
withdrawal will not impact the lawfulness of our use of your personal information
based on your consent up to that point.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect or maintain information from persons under 13 years
of age (“children”), and no part of the Services is directed to children. If we learn
that information has been collected through the Services from children and without
verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this
information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has
provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us
using the contact information below to request that we delete the information from
our systems.
Changes to Privacy Notice
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Notice at any time, without
notice. We will notify you about changes that significantly impact our use of your
personal information by placing a prominent notice on this website or by sending
you an email. Please revisit this page periodically to stay aware of any changes to
this Privacy Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, disputes arising hereunder will be
resolved in accordance with the Privacy Notice in effect at the time the dispute
arose.
