How We Use Your Information
We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information:

  • To notify you of future research opportunities. Occasionally, third parties (e.g., research institutions and organizations, pharmaceutical companies, or other research groups) may contact us with information about potential research opportunities which we believe may be of interest to you. If you have given your consent to participate in Niji Corp. Research, we may contact you to notify you of the research opportunity and provide you with a means to indicate your interest in participating. We do not provide these third parties with your individual-level Brain Health Exercise Data or Supplementary Data unless you have given your explicit consent.

Disclosure of Your Information
We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy:

  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all Niji Corp.’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Niji Corp. about our Services users is among the assets transferred.
  • To third parties so they can contact you about external research opportunities. If you have opted-in to receiving communications from third parties about external research opportunities that may be relevant to you, we may disclose your contact information (e.g., name and email address) to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your individual-level Brain Health Exercise Data and/or Supplementary Data to these third parties unless you have given your explicit consent to that disclosure (e.g., via a Consent Document).
  • To third parties for their research purposes only if you have provided your explicit informed consent to these disclosures in an applicable Consent Document. These third parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. For more information about how you can withdraw your consent after giving it, see Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information. Please note that even if you withdraw your consent, we may be unable to retract information that has already been used or disclosed prior to your withdrawal.
  • To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it, for any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information, and with your consent.

We may also disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request; to enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes; and if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our customers, other users, or other third parties.

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information
Site Account Information.
In some cases, you can review and change your Site Account Information (e.g., your login email address or password) by logging into the Services and visiting your account profile page. You may also send us an email at privacy@nijineuro.com to request access to, correct, or delete certain personal information that you have provided to us. In some cases, we may not be able to delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account, in which case, you will lose access to the Site upon deletion of your personal information. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
Direct Marketing Communications.
If you do not want us to contact you about third-party research opportunities, please contact us at privacy@nijineuro.com to opt-out of these communications
Research Partner Communications.
If you no longer want us to share your contact information with our research partners for their direct marketing purposes, please contact us at privacy@nijineuro.com to opt-out.
Withdraw Consent for Research Purposes.
If you have previously completed a Consent Document, you can withdraw your consent to continued participation in Niji Corp. Research. However, please note that we are unable to delete information that has already been used in research studies, published research, or shared with third parties within the scope of the applicable Consent Document. If you withdraw consent, we may continue to use Brain Health Exercise Data and/or Supplementary Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Also, we may keep a copy of your information to the extent required by applicable laws, to retain a record of your deletion request, or to comply with our legal obligations.
California Privacy Rights.
California residents may have additional personal information rights and choices. Please see the Privacy Notice for California Residents below.
Nevada Privacy Rights.
Nevada residents who wish to exercise their sale opt-out rights under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A may submit a request to this designated address: privacy@nijineuro.com. However, please know we do not currently sell data triggering that statute’s opt-out requirements.

Data Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services.
Do Not Track

We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect on the Site, and that is why we provide the access and control choices set forth in this Privacy Policy. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser initiated Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals, in part because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators, nor is there a consistent standard of interpreting user intent.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy

It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by email to the email address specified in your account and/or through a notice on the Services home page. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Services and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.

Sharing Personal Information

We only make these business purpose disclosures under written contracts that describe the purposes, require the recipient to keep the personal information confidential, and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract. In the preceding twelve (12) months, Niji Corp. may have disclosed personal information for a business purpose to the categories of third parties indicated in the chart above.
We do not sell personal information. For more on your personal information sale rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.

Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Right to Know and Data Portability
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing: (i) sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and (ii) disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete
To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

  • Writing to us at:
    Niji Corp.
    45 Prospect St.
    Cambridge MA 02139-2402
  • Emailing us at: privacy@nijineuro.com

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.
You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include providing us with government-issued identification, verifying your ownership of your Niji Corp. or other external account, and/or (if applicable) providing us with documentation confirming your authorization to act on behalf of the data subject. You will also need to 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 personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.

Response Timing and Format
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, email us at privacy@nijineuro.com. We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. 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. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights
We do not sell any personal information. That said, if you are age 16 or older, the CCPA gives you the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we know are less than 16 years old. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not deny you goods or services; charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Notice of Financial Incentives
The CCPA permits us to offer you certain financial incentives that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
For example, from time to time, Niji Corp. may offer you the opportunity to provide Brain Health Exercise Data and Supplementary Data to us by completing a test, survey, or other activity in exchange for a financial incentive. The value of the financial incentive for any incentivized offer is our good faith estimate of the value of the personal information you provide to us to qualify for the incentive, which may vary based on the internal resources required to collect and maintain the data.
We generally collect the following types of personal information in connection with incentivized offers:

  • Identifiers
  • Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e))
  • Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law
  • Biometric information
  • Internet or other similar network activity
  • Geolocation data
  • Sensory data
  • Professional or employment-related information
  • Inferences drawn from other personal information

By participating in an incentivized offer, you are opting into the terms of the offer (which include our Terms of Service and any additional offering details communicated to you with the offer). You may withdraw from the incentivized offer at any time by contacting us at privacy@nijineuro.com and/or by directing us to delete your personal information, as described in this Privacy Notice.

Other California Privacy Rights
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Site that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to privacy@nijineuro.com.
