Privacy Policy

AUTHENT PRIVACY NOTICE

Last Updated: September 25, 2025

This Privacy Notice explains how Authent, Inc. (“Authent”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes
personal data in connection with any specific product, service, or application that references or links to this
Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Notice does not address our privacy practices relating to Authent job applicants, employees and
other employment-related individuals, nor data that is not subject to applicable data protection laws (such as
deidentified or publicly available information in certain jurisdictions). This Privacy Notice is also not a contract
and does not create any legal rights or obligations not otherwise provided by law.

Our Role in Processing Personal Data

Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal data. A
“controller” determines the purposes and means (the why and how) of processing personal data. A
“processor,” which is sometimes referred to as a “service provider,” processes personal data on behalf of a
controller subject to the controller’s instructions.

This Privacy Notice describes our privacy practices where we are acting as the controller of personal data.
However, this Privacy Notice does not cover or address how our customers may process personal data when
they use our services, or how we may process personal data on their behalf in accordance with their
instructions where we are acting as their processor. As a result, we recommend referring to the privacy notice
of the customer with which you have a relationship for information on how they engage processors, like us, to
process personal data on their behalf. In addition, we are generally not permitted to respond to individual
requests relating to personal data we process on behalf of our customers, so we recommend directing any
requests to the relevant customer.

Our Collection and Use of Personal Data

The categories of personal data we collect depend on how you interact with us and our services. For example,

also collect personal data from other sources and third parties.

Your Privacy Choices

​

Email Communication Preferences
You can stop receiving promotional email communications from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link
provided in any of our email communications. Please note you cannot opt-out of service-related email
communications (such as, account verification, transaction confirmation, or service update emails).

Automatic Data Collection Preferences
You may be able to utilize third-party tools and features to restrict our use of automatic data collection
technologies on our website. For example, (i) most browsers allow you to change browser settings to limit

automatic data collection technologies on websites, (ii) most email providers allow you to prevent the automatic
downloading of images in emails that may contain automatic data collection technologies, and (iii) many
devices allow you to change your device settings to limit automatic data collection technologies for device
applications. Please note that blocking automatic data collection technologies through third-party tools and
features may negatively impact your experience using our website, as some features and offerings may not
work properly or at all. Depending on the third-party tool or feature you use, you may not be able to block all
automatic data collection technologies or you may need to update your preferences on multiple devices or
browsers. We do not have any control over these third-party tools and features and are not responsible if they
do not function as intended.

Targeted Advertising Preferences
We engage third parties to help us facilitate targeted advertising designed to show you personalized ads based
on predictions of your preferences and interests developed using personal data we maintain and personal data
our third-party partners obtain from your activity over time and across nonaffiliated websites and other
services. The data we and our third-party partners use for purposes of facilitating targeted advertising, as well
as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research, are
primarily collected through the use of a variety of automatic data collection technologies, including cookies,
web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies and logging
technologies. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with
our third-party advertising partners to help link the personal data we and our third-party partners collect to the
same person, or otherwise target advertising to an individual on a third-party website or platform.
In addition to taking the steps set forth in the Automatic Data Collection Preferences section above, you may
be able to further exercise control over the advertisements that you see by leveraging one or more targeted
advertising opt-out programs. For example:

- Device-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain devices provide individuals the option to turn off targeted
advertising for the entire device (such as Apple devices through their App Tracking Transparency
framework or Android devices through their opt out of ads personalization feature). Please refer to your
device manufacturer’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available device-
specific targeted advertising opt-outs.

- Digital Advertising Alliance: The Digital Advertising Alliance allows individuals to opt out of receiving
online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please
follow the instructions at https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN for browser-based advertising and
https://www.youradchoices.com/appchoices for app-based advertising to opt out of targeted advertising
carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Digital Advertising
Alliance’s self-regulatory program.

- Network Advertising Initiative: The Network Advertising Initiative similarly allows individuals to opt out
of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their
program. Please follow the instructions at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 to opt out of
browser-based targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that
participate in the Network Advertising Initiative’s self-regulatory program.

- Platform-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain third-party platforms provide individuals the option to
turn off targeted advertising for the entire platform (such as certain social media platforms). Please refer
to your platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available
platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.

Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements through one of these programs,
this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our website. Instead, it means that the
online ads you do see from relevant program participants should not be based on your interests. We are not
responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties’ opt-out options or programs or the
accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, program participants may still use automatic

data collection technologies to collect information about your use of our services, including for analytics and
fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the applicable advertising industry program.

Children’s Personal Data

​

Our services are not directed to, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal data from
children under the age of 13. If an individual is under the age of 13, they should not use our services or
otherwise provide us with any personal data either directly or by other means. If a child under the age of 13
has provided personal data to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us to request that we
remove the personal data from our systems. If we learn that any personal data we collect has been provided
by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that personal data.

Security of Personal Data

We have implemented reasonable physical, technical, and organizational safeguards that are designed to
protect your personal data. However, despite these controls, we cannot completely ensure or warrant the
security of your personal data.
