This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through this Site. Our Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time, and we will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site at this page.
VIBEcx (“VIBEcx”, “we”, “us”, “our”) has developed a unique customer experience platform and a powerful way to measure and visualize the emotional reactions of face-to-face interactions between businesses and their customers in the real world. Inconspicuously placed cameras and microphones, coupled with our emotion detection software processes live video/audio onsite, producing a score to employee/customer interactions throughout the day. We know ‘what can be measured can be improved,’ thus, this unique data begins helping teams measure how they are influencing customers’ attitudes. This data generates automated, targeted guidance to support team development and it emboldens them to explore ways they can enhance the guest interaction.
We focus on helping businesses understand their teams and their customers better. We believe these data can help improve the emotional intelligence of individuals to have more successful personal interactions. The better individuals can be at personal interaction the more successful their teams will be. Better teams build loyal customers and more shareholder value for their businesses. We have developed a simplified policy document tailored to our website visitors which we encourage you to review. If you have an account with VIBEcx or are a customer, please review the entire document.

Although VIBEcx owns the code, databases, and all rights to the VIBEcx application, you retain all rights to your files and data.
7. Data Transfers from the EU to the United States
VIBEcx is aware of and is certified and compliant with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. We have successfully completed the registration process to designate JAMS as our Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Provider under the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield Program and/or the Swiss–U.S. Privacy Shield Program. We are committed to subjecting all Personal Information received from European Union (EU) member countries, in reliance on the Privacy Shield Framework, to the Framework’s applicable Principles. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website available at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.
VIBEcx is responsible for the processing of Personal Information it receives under the Privacy Shield Framework policies. We make every attempt to comply with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, including the onward transfer liability provisions. Furthermore, with respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Framework, we are subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
EU Privacy Shield
VIBEcx complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries. VIBEcx has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement and Liability. If there is any conflict between the policies in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification page, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov.
VIBEcx is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the FTC for its Privacy Shield compliance.
VIBEcx may be required to disclose personal information to public authorities if they provide lawful requests for reasons of national security or law enforcement.
In compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Principles, VIBEcx commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. European Union individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding this privacy policy should first contact VIBEcx at:
Privacy Officer, VIBEcx, LLC., 256 North Main Street, Alpine, UT 84004 (privacy@VIBEcx.com)
If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider JAMS (free of charge to you) at https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield. Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website, https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=How-to-Submit-a-Complaint, you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.
If your complaint is not resolved through these channels, under certain circumstances, EU individuals can invoke binding arbitration before a Privacy Shield Panel.
8. VIBEcx Emotion Recognition Data
VIBEcx is a platform built around a system of high-end emotion recognition and data capturing programming. The actual VIBEcx data that is generated from our cameras, microphones and facial recognition that we gather does not link personal data to our emotion recognition, but rather only collects data map points of a face and intonations and mood of vocal exchanges. We do not save any audio, video or facial recognition data on our servers, but only the data that such activity generates. None of the images or facial recognition images are saved, but rather only processed and quantified into scores, which are very useful in developmental situations for employees and company use, but have zero correlation with identifiable guest information, and therefore have no privacy infringement issues for clients of our participating companies.
9. Choice
We will always give you an opportunity to choose (opt-out) before your Personal Information is (a) disclosed to a third party (other than a VIBEcx agent doing work at our direction), or (b) to be used for a purpose that is materially different than that for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. Although we do not ever anticipate providing sensitive Personal Information, such as Employee health information, to a non-agent third party or using it for a purpose other than that for which it was collected, we will never do so without first allowing the individual involved to affirmatively and expressly consent (opt-in) to such transfer or use. The only exception to this choice would be where we are required to disclose your Personal Information pursuant to governmental or judicial order, law or regulation to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
If you ever opted in to receive email from VIBEcx and now want to opt out, send an email including your name and email address to unsubscribe@VIBEcx.com. If you receive an email using the VIBEcx name that you suspect might be spam, please contact us at privacy@VIBEcx.com.
To contact us via the postal service send a letter to:
Privacy Officer, VIBEcx
256 N. Main St. Suite F
Alpine, UT 84004
Participating in opt-in video collection
By its nature, video data of Individuals is personal so VIBEcx takes the process of recording participant video very seriously. VIBEcx will never associate data with an Individual without the Individual’s consent. By default VIBEcx will only use video data to analyze the Individual’s emotional reaction during their interaction with their Clients and then the video will be processed by computer algorithms around measurement and visualization of the positivity or negativity of the interaction. In most Customer cases video will not be stored after processing. On occasion, VIBEcx provides people with an opportunity to explicitly opt-in to allow for their video data to be used in broader training purposes. Likewise, visitors to our website who view our demo, will not have their video stored after processing.
Anonymous information collection
In some instances, VIBEcx may collect non-personal aggregate or demographic data through cookies, web logs, and web beacons. This information may be used to better understand and improve the usability, performance, and effectiveness of the website. Please read the “Cookies” section below for more information.

7. Data Transfers from the EU to the United States
VIBEcx is aware of and is certified and compliant with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. We have successfully completed the registration process to designate JAMS as our Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Provider under the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield Program and/or the Swiss–U.S. Privacy Shield Program. We are committed to subjecting all Personal Information received from European Union (EU) member countries, in reliance on the Privacy Shield Framework, to the Framework’s applicable Principles. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website available at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.
VIBEcx is responsible for the processing of Personal Information it receives under the Privacy Shield Framework policies. We make every attempt to comply with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, including the onward transfer liability provisions. Furthermore, with respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Framework, we are subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
EU Privacy Shield
VIBEcx complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries. VIBEcx has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement and Liability. If there is any conflict between the policies in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification page, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov.
VIBEcx is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the FTC for its Privacy Shield compliance.
VIBEcx may be required to disclose personal information to public authorities if they provide lawful requests for reasons of national security or law enforcement.
In compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Principles, VIBEcx commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. European Union individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding this privacy policy should first contact VIBEcx at:
Privacy Officer, VIBEcx, LLC., 256 North Main Street, Alpine, UT 84004 (privacy@VIBEcx.com)
If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider JAMS (free of charge to you) at https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield. Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website, https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=How-to-Submit-a-Complaint, you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.
If your complaint is not resolved through these channels, under certain circumstances, EU individuals can invoke binding arbitration before a Privacy Shield Panel.
8. VIBEcx Emotion Recognition Data
VIBEcx is a platform built around a system of high-end emotion recognition and data capturing programming. The actual VIBEcx data that is generated from our cameras, microphones and facial recognition that we gather does not link personal data to our emotion recognition, but rather only collects data map points of a face and intonations and mood of vocal exchanges. We do not save any audio, video or facial recognition data on our servers, but only the data that such activity generates. None of the images or facial recognition images are saved, but rather only processed and quantified into scores, which are very useful in developmental situations for employees and company use, but have zero correlation with identifiable guest information, and therefore have no privacy infringement issues for clients of our participating companies.
9. Choice
We will always give you an opportunity to choose (opt-out) before your Personal Information is (a) disclosed to a third party (other than a VIBEcx agent doing work at our direction), or (b) to be used for a purpose that is materially different than that for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. Although we do not ever anticipate providing sensitive Personal Information, such as Employee health information, to a non-agent third party or using it for a purpose other than that for which it was collected, we will never do so without first allowing the individual involved to affirmatively and expressly consent (opt-in) to such transfer or use. The only exception to this choice would be where we are required to disclose your Personal Information pursuant to governmental or judicial order, law or regulation to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
If you ever opted in to receive email from VIBEcx and now want to opt out, send an email including your name and email address to unsubscribe@VIBEcx.com. If you receive an email using the VIBEcx name that you suspect might be spam, please contact us at privacy@VIBEcx.com.
To contact us via the postal service send a letter to:
Privacy Officer, VIBEcx, LLC.

Alpine, UT 84004
Participating in opt-in video collection
By its nature, video data of Individuals is personal so VIBEcx takes the process of recording participant video very seriously. VIBEcx will never associate data with an Individual without the Individual’s consent. By default VIBEcx will only use video data to analyze the Individual’s emotional reaction during their interaction with their Clients and then the video will be processed by computer algorithms around measurement and visualization of the positivity or negativity of the interaction. In most Customer cases video will not be stored after processing. On occasion, VIBEcx provides people with an opportunity to explicitly opt-in to allow for their video data to be used in broader training purposes. Likewise, visitors to our website who view our demo, will not have their video stored after processing.

Children’s privacy

VIBEcx encourages parents and guardians to monitor the online activity of children in their care. Here are a few tips to help make a child’s online experience safer:

• Know the sites your children are visiting and which sites are appropriate
• Review website privacy policies and be aware of how your child’s information is treated
• We encourage you to visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website for information regarding initiatives designed to protect children’s privacy online.
