personal data with
these third parties. It’s always a good idea to read their privacy policies to understand what they do with
your

the App,
or by presenting you with a new version of this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the App after the
effective date
of an updated version of the Privacy Policy will indicate your acceptance of the Privacy Policy as modified. In
some

What do we mean by ‘personal data’?
We want to protect your privacy as much as possible, so we consider personal data to include any information
which
allows us to identify you directly or indirectly, including through cookies and other electronic tools.
What do we mean by ‘cookies’?
Like many websites, our Websites and Apps use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file
that a
website puts on your computer’s hard disk so that the website can remember something about you at a later time.
If you
are looking for more information on cookies, you can refer to websites such as
http://www.cookiecentral.com/.
In this privacy policy, when we refer to “cookies” we include other technologies with similar purposes, such as
pixels,
tags, web beacons and the mobile identifiers which we collect from your cell phone (Android’s Advertising ID
(AAID/IFA)
or Apple’s Identifier for Advertising).
There are different types of cookies. TURTLE uses both first party and third party cookies:
• First Party Cookies – First party cookies are those that are issued by us, and they can only be set or
retrieved by
us. They are used for purposes specific to us, such as to personalize the Website.
• Third Party Cookies – Third party cookies are placed on our Websites, in emails or Apps by other entities,
such as to
create new functionalities, to monitor the activity of users on a Website/App for the purpose of Web/App
analytics or
conduct advertising.
Cookies can also be classified based on their roles. These are the types of cookies we use on our Websites and
Apps:
• Strictly Necessary – These cookies are essential to enable you to navigate our website and use its key
features.
• Performance Cookies – Performance cookies collect information about how users use our websites or Apps, such
as the
pages they go to most often, what pages or functions they use, how long a user spends meditating, and whether
they get
error messages from our webpages. These cookies provide us with information about our sites/apps traffic and
performance. The actions and activities may be attributable to your device information, browsers, email address
and/or
IP address.
• Functionality Cookies – These cookies are used for enhanced functionalities that are useful to you, such as
social
media sharing, but which are not necessary for our websites or Apps to perform their essential functions.
• Targeting Cookies – These cookies are used to deliver advertising more relevant to you and your interests.
They are
also used to limit the number of times you see an ad as well as to help measure the effectiveness of a campaign.
If you are using one of our Websites, you can change your browser’s settings so it will stop accepting cookies
and web
beacons or to prompt you before accepting a cookie or web beacon. Opt-out options for cookies and web beacons.
Personal Data you provide us directly
General Information. When you sign up to use the App, we may collect Personal Data about you such as:
• Name you assign to your account;
• Email address you assign to your account; and
• Password or passcode you assigned to your account.
You can create an account on some of our Apps and Websites using your Facebook, Google, Apple or Twitter account
(you

you use
their account to login to our Websites/Apps).
Sleep and Well-being. When you use the App, you may choose to provide personal information which might be
considered
related to your health and well-being such as:
• When you wake up and when you go to sleep (and other things related to your sleep patterns);
• When you feel hungry; and
• If you meditate and for how long.
You also may give us the ability to import into the App Personal Data about your health and activities from
third-party
services such as Apple HealthKit and Google Fit. Such imported Personal Data may include your sleep
patterns/data. In
order for us to process any Personal Data under this category we will explicitly ask your consent on the
registration
screen.
If you take our sleep “chronotypes” quiz, we will only temporarily collect your answers to those questions for
the
purposes of delivering your “sleep score” or chronotype number. We do not store your individual answers to the
chronotypes quiz, but we may store your “sleep score” against your unique TURTLE client ID and you will be able
to see
your chronotype in your profile.

utilize to
customize and personalize your App experience. We may also use such data for statistical purposes and analytics.
How do we use your Personal Data?
We will not collect or process your Personal Data without having a reason and providing you with notice. So, for
any
processing of your Personal data we need to have some valid ground for conducting the processing, this is
sometimes

about the
App/website, we also rely on a contractual relationship.

societal
benefits like providing the best App/website that we can. In particular, we have legitimate interests in using

performance of the App/site. We only rely on our or a third party’s legitimate interests when these interests
are not
overridden by your rights and interests.

Advertising partners and AppsFlyer
We may share some of your non-health Personal Data (like your device ID, IDFA, IP address, version information)
with
AppsFlyer, a mobile marketing platform, that handles your Personal Data in accordance with our instructions. By
using
AppsFlyer and its integrated partners we are able to reach you and people like you on various platforms that

Use of Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technology for Advertising Networks
You and others may see certain ads for our Apps or Websites on other websites because we participate in ad
networks. Ad
networks allow us to target our messaging to users through demographic, interest-based, and contextual means.
These
networks track individuals’ online activities over time by collecting information through automated means,
including
through the use of cookies, web server logs, and web beacons. The networks use this information to show
advertisements
that may be tailored to an individual’s interests. The information our ad networks may collect includes
information
about your visits to websites that participate in the relevant ad networks, such as the pages or advertisements
you view
and the actions you take on the websites. This data collection takes place both on our websites and on
third-party
websites that participate in the ad networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our
marketing
efforts and assists other websites and advertising partners to find you or people like you on different
platforms,
including social media websites.
By way of example, if you use Web (only) we may use Facebook Conversion Tracking Pixel to record how efficient
our
advertisements are for statistical and market research purposes. Facebook may connect the data with your
Facebook
account and use the data for their own advertising purposes, in accordance with its current privacy policy, No
direct
Facebook tracking is enabled in the App.
Google Analytics offers a function about remarketing audiences. It allows us to create segments based on the
analytics
that we have obtained, and then use it as part of remarketing campaigns on our Google Ads account. Google Ads
uses a
different cookie than Google Analytics.s mentioned above, you can opt-out of cookies and web beacons.
Analytics and Performance Partners
In addition to using AppsFlyer for analytics, we also use Iterable, Facebook SDK and Mixpanel to measure our
performance
and to help increase the performance of our ad campaigns. These third parties provide us with analytics for our
Websites
and Apps, which can then be used to segment users based on demographic information, custom events and user or
session
activity as part of our interest-based advertising activities. We also use analytics to learn about how we can
improve
our site and App and offer more services and functionality that may interest you.
We also use Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to better understand our websites’ performance.
Google
Analytics uses third party cookies to get information about how you arrived on our website, the search terms
which were
leveraged, the time of your visit, etc.
If you want to opt-out from Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting, you can do so by clicking
here.
Social Media
Some of our pages, such as our blog posts, have an option allowing you to share the content on your social
media. This
occurs through a tool which can collect indirect data about you, like your IP address and information derived
from your
IP address (geographic location and information about your device like your preferred language). It may also
collect the
time and date that you visited the page for sharing.
If you connect to our Apps or websites through your social media, we receive the information which you accept to
share
with us to authenticate you.
Apple Health Kit & Android Sleep API
Apple HealthKit and Android Sleep API offers its users a central repository for health and fitness data on
iPhone and
Android. If you authorize the use of Apple HealthKit or Android Sleep API, our Apps will communicate with Apple
HealthKit/Android Sleep API to access and share your data. These kits are designed to manage and merge data from
multiple sources – this means that with your permission, our data are merged with those of your other apps in
HealthKit/Android Sleep API.
We only share your data with HealthKit/Android Sleep API based on your consent, such as the time spent
meditating
through meditation logs and your sleep data, if you enable this. Under no circumstances will we share the
information
collected via the HealthKit/Android Sleep API to any third party, except if such third party is already
providing you
health services with your prior consent.
We do not use the information collected via HealthKit/Android Sleep API for advertising purposes nor are we
selling the
data collected to any advertising platforms, data brokers or information resellers. Prior for disclosing your
personal
data to third parties, we ensure that:
• The personal data shared is limited to what is reasonably required for third parties to perform their services
or
functions as detailed in their applicable services terms;
• Our agreements with them include reasonable terms and conditions to protect your personal data;
• These third parties provide reasonable guarantees that they will protect your personal data and comply with
applicable
laws.
Where do you store my personal data?
We store your data on Google Cloud. We may change our hosting companies in the future, in which case, we will
update
this privacy policy.
Your personal information is stored inside and outside of Canada, including in the United States. In this
situation,
regarding personal data of European Union residents, we may transfer Personal Data to a Third Party outside the
European
Union after entering into a data transfer agreement with the other party/parties, based on standard contractual
clauses
adopted by the European Commission, or after adopting Binding Corporate Rules where necessary.
How do you ensure the security of my personal data?
We strive to protect your personal data by implementing security features that are proportionate to the risks,
such as
unauthorized access or disclosure. Our Apps and websites use encryption, and access to your data is only granted
on a
need-to-know basis to individuals with a non disclosure agreement or similar confidentiality obligations.
Security breaches
If we learn of a security systems breach, we may either post a notice, or attempt to notify you by email and
will take
reasonable steps to remedy the breach as specified in applicable law and this Privacy Policy. If we learn of a
potential
Personal Data breach, together with other actions referred to in this Privacy Policy (such as notifying you in
certain
cases), we may also undertake particular actions to remedy the breach, including, but not limited to, logging
you out
from all the devices, resetting a password (sending a temporary password for you to apply) and performing other
reasonably necessary activities and actions.
How long do you hold my personal data for?
We keep your personal data as long as required to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or in
accordance with
the law (whichever is longer), for evidence and accounting purposes, for a period not exceeding the statutory
limitation
periods applicable. If you are using our Apps, we keep your profile information as long as your subscription is
active.
What are my rights regarding my personal data?
You have the right to exercise your rights on your personal data, and we will try our best to help you. Your
rights vary
depending on the laws that apply to your situation, and the specific circumstances of the request. Some of the

death.
If you want to exercise one of these rights and the situation allows for such exercise, we will generally help
you
without additional charges. If you request a transcription, reproduction or transmission of your personal
information,
we may have to charge a reasonable fee to process your request, subject to applicable laws. In this case, we
will
contact you about these charges before addressing your request.
For security reasons and to avoid any fraudulent request, we may be required to provide proof of identity with
the
request. After the request has been processed, this receipt will be destroyed.

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete
To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:
• Calling us at (855) 213-6709
• Emailing us at
turtlellc@yahoo.com
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to
your
personal information.
You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:
• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected
personal
information or an authorized representative, which may include:
• Logging in to your Web/App account using your username and password;
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to
it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or
authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
You will not need to have an existing account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do
consider
requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal
information associated with that specific account.
We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to
make
it.

Response Timing and Format
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within
the
10-day timeframe, please contact
turtlellc@yahoo.com.
We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its
receipt. If we
require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an
account with
us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The
response we
provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability
requests, we
will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to
transmit the
information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.br
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive,
repetitive, or
manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that
decision and
provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we
will not:
• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other
benefits, or
imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality
of goods
or services.

Texas Minors
While our website and services are not intended for anyone under the age of 18, if you are a Texas resident who
is under

removal by
contacting us at: turtlellc@yahoo.com. When requesting removal, you must be specific about the information you
want
removed and provide us with specific information, such as the URL for each page where the information was

We are
not required to delete the content or information posted by you; our obligations under Texas law are satisfied
so long
as we anonymize the content or information or render it invisible to other users and the public.
