THIS SUPPLEMENT IS INTENDED FOR RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THIS SUPPLEMENT CAREFULLY AND USE IT TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. BY USING OUR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE PRIVACY POLICY AND THIS SUPPLEMENT, AND YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICES CONSTITUTES YOUR ONGOING AGREEMENT TO THE PRIVACY POLICY AND THIS SUPPLEMENT.
General
This Privacy Policy Supplement entitled “Your California Privacy Rights” outlines the individual rights Swordfish AI Inc. (the “Swordfish”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides to the residents of California with respect to collecting, using and disclosing personal information when providing our online services (collectively, the “Services”) and constitutes an integral part of Swordfish’s Terms of Service (“Terms”, and collectively, the “Agreement”).
This Supplement is an integral part of the Swordfish Privacy Policy linked here. It is not a standalone privacy policy. Rather, this Supplement provides privacy disclosures to California residents as required by California law to supplement the Privacy Policy. In particular, it discusses categories of personal information Swordfish has collected and individual rights of California residents relative to that personal information.
As stated in the Privacy Policy, we collect personal information from “Users,” who are Swordfish individual customers or business customer representatives who download, install, or use the Swordfish browser extension. We also collect personal information from “Contacts,” who are people whose identities are being confirmed, who are the subject of an investigation, or who are being contacted by Users, for example for recruitment or sales purposes. Using the Swordfish Services (e.g., plugin or website interface), Users can lookup “Business Profiles” of Contacts by social media URL, name, phone number, email address, or postal address. The Services return the available contact information (name, phone number, email address, location (city and country), company name, and job title) and social media account URLs.
In 2018, the State of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). In 2020, the voters of California passed a ballot initiative which enacted the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which amends and supplements CCPA. This supplement assists in our compliance program for CCPA, CPRA, and other applicable privacy laws

Notice To California Residents Regarding “do Not Track” Signals
Under California law, online service providers must disclose in their privacy policies how they respond to “do not track” settings. These are settings users can set in their browser software. Currently, there is no standard governing what, if anything, a website operator should do when receiving a “do not track” signal. Accordingly, Swordfish does not currently take action in response to a “do not track” browser setting. As industry standards regarding do not track settings emerge, Swordfish will revisit and amend this policy to account for these standards.
