Should the Application or service prove defective, you assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for personal injury, or of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation may not apply to you. In no event shall Lyte’s total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of fifty dollars (CDN$50.00). The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

We may process your personal information for the purposes described in this privacy policy, with your consent, for compliance with a legal obligation to which Lyte is subject or when we have assessed it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Lyte or a third-party to whom it may be necessary to disclose information, and from time to time, in medical and academic research.
- The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on Lyte’s latest content, service announcements, software updates, and upcoming events. If you don’t want to be on our mailing list, you can opt out anytime by updating your preferences.

We may also use your personal information for account and network security purposes, including in order to protect our services for the benefit of all our users. Where we use your information for anti-fraud purposes it arises from the conduct of an online transaction with us. We limit our uses of data for anti-fraud purposes to those which are strictly necessary and within our assessed legitimate interests to protect our customers and our services. For certain online transactions we may also validate the information provided by you with publicly accessible sources.
- We may use your personal information, including date of birth, telephone number, security questions, etc., to verify identity, assist with identification of users, and to determine appropriate services. For example, we may use date of birth to determine the age of Lyte account holders.

We may also validate the information provided by you when creating a Lyte account with a third-party for security and fraud prevention purposes.
For research and development purposes, we may use datasets such as those that contain images, voices or other data that could be associated with an identifiable person. When acquiring such datasets, we do so in accordance with applicable law in the jurisdiction in which the dataset is hosted. When using such datasets for research and development, we do not attempt to re-identify individuals who may appear therein.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
- We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, referrer URL, location, and the time zone where a Lyte product is used so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising;
- We may collect information regarding customer activities on our Lyte application, website, and from our other products and services.

Only those employees and contracted individuals of Lyte who require access for business reasons or whose duties reasonably so require shall be granted access to personal information about users.
Cookies and Other Technologies
Lyte’s websites, online services, interactive applications, email messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our applications and websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of specific content, advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as nonpersonal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this privacy policy.
Lyte and our partners also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website, online services, and applications. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with Lyte more convenient and personal. For example, knowing your first name lets us welcome you the next time you visit Lyte. Knowing your country and language helps us provide a customized and more useful viewing experience. Knowing someone using your phone, computer or device has shopped for a certain video or product or used a particular service helps us make our advertising and email communications more relevant to your interests. It also helps ensure that we do not show ads not related to your interests. In addition, knowing your contact information, hardware identifiers, and information about your phone, device or computer, helps provide you with better customer service.
As is true of most internet services, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, mobile phone type, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the application and websites, to learn about user behavior on the site, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Lyte may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.
In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Lyte website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
Disclosure to Third Parties
At times Lyte may make certain personal information available to strategic partners that work with Lyte to provide products and services, or that help Lyte market to customers. For example, when you purchase and activate the Lyte app on your device you may authorize Lyte and your carrier to exchange the information you provide during the activation process to carry out a service. One example of this would be to purchase a product online. If you are approved for service, your account will be governed by Lyte and your carrier’s respective privacy policies. Personal information will only be shared by Lyte to provide or improve our products, services and advertising; it will not be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Service Providers
Lyte shares personal information with companies who provide services such as information processing, extending credit, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products to you, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer service, assessing your interest in our products and services, and conducting customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are obligated to protect your information and may be located wherever Lyte operates.
Others
It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for Lyte to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.
We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third-party.
Protection of Personal Information
Lyte takes the security of your personal information very seriously. All our services are designed protect your personal information at rest and during transit using encryption. When your personal data is stored by Lyte, we use computer systems with limited access housed in facilities using physical security measures.
When you use Lyte’s products, services, or applications or post on a Lyte forum, chat room, or social networking service, the personal information and content you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them.

How long do we keep personal data
Lyte requires user profile information in order to provide its services, and retains such information for as long you maintain your Lyte account. Lyte retains certain information, including transaction, location, device and usage information, for a minimum of 7 years in connection with regulatory, tax, insurance and other requirements in the places in which it operates. Once such information is no longer necessary to provide Lyte’s services, enable customer support, enhance the user experience or other operational purposes, Lyte takes steps to prevent access to or use of such information for any purpose other than compliance with these requirements or for purposes of safety, security and fraud prevention and detection.
You may request deletion of your account at any time through the privacy settings in the Lyte app, or via Lyte’s website. Following such request, Lyte deletes the information that it is not required to retain. In certain circumstances, Lyte may be unable to delete your account, such as if there is an outstanding credit on your account or an unresolved claim or dispute. Upon resolution of the issue preventing deletion, Lyte will delete your account as described above.
Lyte may also retain certain information if necessary for its legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing users’ safety and security. For example, if Lyte shuts down a user’s account because of unsafe behavior or security incidents, Lyte may retain certain information about that account to prevent that user from opening a new Lyte account in the future.
