Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy was last updated on November 1, 2023.
Snark AI, Inc. DBA Activeloop (“Activeloop” or “we” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy (our “Privacy Policy”) describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of Your information when You use the Service and tells You about Your privacy rights and how the law protects You. This Privacy Policy also describes the choices you have regarding the information Activeloop collects, including how you can manage, update, or request to delete information.
We may use Your Personal Data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, You agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Activeloop is an open-source project and collaborative community, as well as a Company. This means that many portions of our Websites, including information You voluntarily provide, will be public-facing for the open sharing of innovative developments, ideas, and information that makes our collaborative community so great. While we are committed to open sharing, we strive to respect the privacy of individual community members and will minimize the information we collect and share. If You do not want to share Your information, including personally identifiable information, with other community members and the public, please be thoughtful as to how You interact with our Websites and what information You provide through the Websites (for example, through creating a public profile, project contributions, comments, and blog posts). We cannot control the actions of other users of the Website with whom You may choose to share Your information. Therefore, We cannot and do not guarantee that Your information will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

- Category A: Identifiers
- Category B: Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e))
- Category D: Commercial information
- Category F: Internet or other similar network activity
This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact disclosed, but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable category may be and may have been disclosed.
When We disclose personal information for a business purpose or a commercial purpose, We enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.
Sale of Personal Information
As defined in the CCPA, "sell" and "sale" mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a Consumer's personal information by the business to a third-party for valuable consideration.
Share of Personal Information
We may share Your personal information identified in the above categories with the following categories of third-parties:
- Service Providers
- Payment processors
- Our affiliates
- Our business partners
- Third-party vendors to whom You or Your agents authorize Us to disclose Your personal information in connection with products or services We provide to You
Our Websites are hosted in the United States and the personal information we collect will be stored and processed on our servers in the United States. Our employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that process information for Us as described above may be located in the United States or in other countries outside of Your home country which may have different data protection standards to those which apply in Your home country. Where Your personal information is transferred outside of the EEA, Switzerland, and UK, and where this is to a country which is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission or considered adequate as determined by applicable data protection laws, we will take steps to ensure Your personal information is adequately protected by safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) approved by the EU Commission or by the UK Government. A copy of the relevant mechanism can be obtained for Your review on request by using the contact details below.
Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 18 Years of Age
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 18 through our Service, although certain third-party websites that we link to may do so. These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and instruct their children to never provide information on other Websites without their permission. If We learn or have reason to suspect that a user is under the age of 18, We will close that Account.
If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided Us with personal information, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to delete that information.

Exercising Your Data Protection Rights
In order to exercise any of Your rights, You can contact Us.
Only You, or Your legal representative You authorize to act on Your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to Your personal information.
Your request to Us must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows Us to reasonably verify You are the person about whom We collected personal information or an authorized representative
- 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 the required information if we cannot:

We will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving Your verifiable request. The time period to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days, when reasonably necessary, and with prior notice.
Any disclosures We provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request's receipt.
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.
Do Not Sell My Personal Information
We do not sell Your personal information. You are therefore opted out by default.
The Service Providers we partner with (for example, our analytics or advertising partners) may use technology on the Service that sells personal information. If You wish to opt-out of the use of Your personal information for interest-based advertising purposes and these potential Sales, You may do so by calling us at (415) 876-5667, emailing us at [email protected] or following the instructions below and contacting Service Providers directly. More information about your right can be found at Do Not Share My Information.

"Do Not Track" Policy as Required by California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
Our Service may not respond to Do Not Track signals. We do not track Your online browsing activity on other online services over time and we do not permit third-party services to track Your activity on our site beyond our basic tracking, which You may opt-out of. Because we do not share this kind of data with third-party services or permit this kind of third-party data collection for any of Our Users, and We do not track Our Users on third-party websites ourselves, We do not need to respond differently to an individual browser's Do Not Track setting.
However, some third-party websites do keep track of Your browsing activities. If You are visiting such websites, You can set Your preferences in Your web browser to inform websites that You do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable DNT by visiting the preferences or settings page of Your web browser.
Children's Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, do not use or provide any information on or to the Service or through any of its features. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.
Your California Privacy Rights (California's Shine the Light law)
Under California Civil Code Section 1798 (California's Shine the Light law), California residents with an established business relationship with us can request information once a year about sharing their Personal Data with third-parties for the third-parties' direct marketing purposes. No Personal Data is ever shared explicitly for a third-parties' direct marketing purposes.
