Where we store your Personal Data

The Personal Data you provide may be stored according to your organization’s configuration.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our app, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

If you are authorized to have access to the Personal Data of others, it is important that you take appropriate safeguards to protect this Personal Data. International transfers of Personal Data.

Notice to California Residents

If you are a California resident, the following provisions prevail over any conflicting provisions in other sections of this Privacy Notice.

California Do Not Track

California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b) (as amended effective January 1, 2014) provides that California residents are entitled to know how we respond to “Do Not Track” browser settings. However, we do not currently take actions to respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed.

Shine the Light

Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, also known as the “Shine the Light Law,” any of our users who are California residents are entitled to request and receive once a year, free of charge, a notice from us describing what categories of personal customer information (if any) we shared with third parties or corporate affiliates for their direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. If applicable, the notice will identify the categories of information shared, the names and addresses of the third parties and affiliates with which information was shared. If you are a California resident and would like to request a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to the contact listed below. Please allow at least thirty days for a response.

In addition to the rights above, California residents have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Please see below for our CCPA Privacy Notice:

If you are a California resident, you have certain rights related to your Personal Data, including:

The right to request that we disclose to you:
the specific pieces of Personal Data we have collected;
the categories of Personal Data we have collected about you;
the categories of sources from which the Personal Data is collected;
our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling Personal Data; o the categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Data; and
a list of the categories of Personal Data, such as name, address, e–mail address, and the type of services provided to the customer, that we have disclosed to third parties (including independent affiliates that are separate legal entities) during the immediately preceding calendar year for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
The right to request that we delete the Personal Data we hold about you, unless the Personal Data is necessary for the us or our service providers to:
complete a transaction for which the Personal Data was collected, provide a good or service requested by the individual or otherwise perform a contract between us and the consumer; o detect security incidents;
protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity (or prosecute those responsible);
debug to identify and repair functionality errors;
exercise or ensure the right of another to exercise free speech or another legal right; o comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act, which compels the production of or access to electronic communication information or electronic device information with a search warrant;
engage in research in the public interest (if the consumer has provided informed consent); o to enable solely internal uses aligned with the consumer’s expectations given their relationship with us;
comply with a legal obligation;
otherwise use the information internally in a lawful manner compatible with the context in which the consumer provided it.
The right to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Data. We do not sell and, within the last 12 months, we have not sold Personal Data.

If you have a query regarding your Personal Data, you may contact us via this website, or via email to the Data Protection Officer whose contact details are below.

We may limit our response to your rights request as permitted under applicable law. The right to disclosure and right to deletion are not absolute and are subject to certain exceptions. For instance, we cannot disclose specific pieces of Personal Data if the disclosure would create a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of the Personal Data, your account with us or the security of the business’s systems of networks.

As required under California law, please note that we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to information or acting on your request to exercise your rights. We cannot effectuate your request if we are unable to verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. We may require you to provide your email address to verify your identity in response to exercising requests of the above type. You will, therefore, need access to your email account to receive our communications necessary to process your request. Please make sure to check your spam inbox to ensure these important communications are not missed. We will not use any Personal Data provided to us for verification purposes for any reason other than to verify your identity.

Under California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. You may make such a designation by providing the agent with written permission to act on your behalf. We will require the agent to provide proof of that written permission. As permitted by law, we may require you to verify your own identity in response to a request, even if you choose to use an agent.

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

We may not discriminate against you because of your exercise of any of the above rights or any other rights, subject to the rights and the obligations under the CCPA, including by:

Denying you goods or services;
Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts, loyalty program, or other benefits or imposing penalties;
Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
Suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by law that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

You may contact us with questions and concerns about our privacy policies or practices by contacting us using any of the methods listed in the “Contact Us” Section.
