Definitions
“Personal Data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Data Subject”), such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
A “Controller” is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Faraday acts as a controller in the contexts described in this Privacy Notice.
A “Processor” is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
These terms are used in certain laws and jurisdictions (e.g. EU GDPR). Other jurisdictions may use different terminology (such as "business" and "service provider"), but the concepts are similar. You may be familiar with different terms that are used to describe materially similar concepts. You can treat them as the same for the purpose of our Privacy Notice.
What Personal Data We Collect
We collect information, including some personal data, from you via our website when you voluntarily provide it to us in order to receive requested information and/or services. For example, we collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you contact us via our website to apply for a job, submit an inquiry, or otherwise attempt to contact us. If you refuse to provide your personal data in connection with such a request, it may affect the quality of our services, but you should still be able to use basic functions of services delivered by this website. We typically receive minimal personal data from individuals who contact us via our website for the above purposes, including name and contact information, such as email address, address, and phone number. However, you can voluntarily provide other types of personal data to us during your interactions with us. Should you choose to provide us with any personal data, we will use such information only as described in this Privacy Notice. If you submit personal data relating to other people to us, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use that personal data in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

Specifically, email is a non-encrypted form of Internet communication that may be accessed or viewed by other Internet users without your knowledge or permission while in transit to us. For that reason, in order to protect your privacy, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider confidential. Any information you choose to disclose to us via email is done at your own risk.
