  Loris is a B2B company leveraging years of experience de-escalating the most difficult crisis situations to improve the most difficult conversations companies have with their customers. Loris operates a business that utilizes machine learning and natural language processing technology to provide a range of services to businesses. We do not provide our Services directly to consumers. Instead, businesses who are customers of Loris (“Customers”) may contract to use Loris services (such consumer-directed services, as now existing and/or as may exist and/or be developed in the future, collectively, “Services”) by entering into a Master Services Agreement, or equivalent, with Loris. Our Services are designed to enable Customers’ employees (“Customer Employees”) to perform certain acts and/or realize certain benefits by utilizing our software to communicate with one another or with their consumers.   If you are a Customer Employee using our Services on behalf of one of our Customers (e.g., your employer), we collect, use, and disclose personal information about you acting in our capacity as a “processor” or “service provider” to our Customers and as further described below. When we act as a “processor” to our Customers, we process personal information in accordance with the terms of the agreement we have with our Customer, our Customer’s lawful instructions, and consistent with this Privacy Policy. Please note that, because of the changing nature of privacy laws, rules, and regulations, digital technologies, and our business, we may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically to become aware of any changes that may have occurred; we will update the effective date at the top of the page to help you know when changes have been made. Your continued use of the Loris Website and/or our Services after we make such changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so we encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Loris Website to stay informed about our privacy practices.
