Forums and Chat Rooms
If you participate in a discussion forum, local communities, or chat room on a AuthMind website, you should be aware that the information you provide there (i.e., your public profile and comments) will be made broadly available to others, and could be used to contact you, send you unsolicited messages, or for purposes neither AuthMind nor you have control over.

Automated Decision Making
Our processing of personal information includes both automated and manual methods of processing. Our automated methods are often used to assist our manual methods. When automated methods are used to assist in decision-making, we may manually review some of the insights produced by the automated methods against the underlying data from which the insights were made. This manual review may be conducted by AuthMind employees or trusted third party business partners who are working on AuthMind’s behalf.
In the event, those decisions are made solely based on automated methods of processing and produce legal effect or significantly affect an individual, we will provide the impacted individual the opportunity to question the decision or request manual review.
