Data Retention

All information is retained as long as the user profile is active, the user information is needed to provide services, or as required to fulfil the legal obligations. If any user wishes to delete his/her account or request that SpeakIn no longer uses his/her information to provide services contact SpeakIn at lets.speak@speakin.co.

Opt-Out

Users can "opt out" of receiving SpeakIn's email updates, newsletters directly within the email or by emailing lets.speak@speakin.co.

Notwithstanding the option to opt out, SpeakIn may still send users service-related announcements including, but not limited to, a registration email, benefit notification emails, emails automatically triggered by actions that users took on the Site and bill related notices. These may be direct from one (or more) of SpeakIn staff members.

Generally, a user may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature.

Website Tracking Technologies

The Site may automatically collect information as users browse, such as Internet Service Provider, browser type and version, operating system and device type, average time spent on the site(s), pages viewed, information accessed, the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect the computer to the Internet and other relevant statistics.
