Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
This Privacy Policy describes how Okay Human (formerly Sympler Inc.) collects, uses, and shares personal information when you interact with our services, including our conversational research platform and website.
What information do we collect?
We collect information in two ways:
Automatically collected information — When you use our services, we automatically collect usage information (pages visited, features used, time spent) and technical information (IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system).
Information you provide — We collect information you submit directly, including:
- Identity data — name, username, or similar identifiers
- Contact data — email address, phone number
- Professional data — company name, job title
- Inquiry data — messages, responses, and content you submit through our platform
Use of Personal Information
We use personal information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our services
- Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
- Send service-related communications and updates
- Analyze usage trends and optimize the user experience
- Detect, investigate, and prevent unauthorized access or misuse
- Enforce our terms of service and legal rights
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations
Basis for Use
We process your personal information on the following legal bases:
- Consent — where you have given us explicit permission to process your information. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Contract — where processing is necessary to perform our services or take steps at your request prior to entering a contract.
- Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests in operating, managing, and developing our services, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.
Sensitive Information
We do not intentionally ask for sensitive or special categories of personal data (such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or religious beliefs). However, in the course of open-ended conversational research, participants may voluntarily share such information. If you do, you consent to our processing of that information solely for the purpose of the research session.
Sharing of Personal Information
We may share your personal information with:
- Service providers — third-party vendors who assist us in operating our platform (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery), bound by confidentiality obligations
- Legal authorities — when required by law, court order, or governmental authority
- Business transferees — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction
We may share aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you without restriction.
Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and applicable legal obligations.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Links to Third-Party Sites
Our services may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
Promotional Communication
With your consent, we may send you marketing communications about our services. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any such email or by contacting us directly. Note that you may still receive transactional or service-related communications even after opting out of marketing.
International Transfers
We are based in the United States, and your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for such transfers.
