  • Demographic information, or statistical or aggregated information. The Company may derive non-personal statistical or aggregated data from personal information. For example, the Company may aggregate personal information to calculate the percentage of users accessing a software application feature;

The Company may maintain the Non-personal information it collects or associate it with personal information that the Customer provides. 

How the company uses customer information

The Company uses the Information it collects about the Customer to provide the Company’s Software and Services including:

  • To fulfill any other purposes for which the Customer provided it or that the Company described when the information was collected; 
  • To carry out the Company’s obligations and enforce its rights in any contracts with the Customer, including for billing and collection or to comply with legal requirements; 
  • To improve the Software and Services, or Customer relationships and experiences; 
  • To measure or understand the effectiveness of the Software and Services the Company provides to the Customer and others;

Disclosure of the customer’s information in Microsoft funded engagements

Where Microsoft Corporation, their subsidiaries, affiliates and/or Partners (“Microsoft”) are funding the Software and Services, the Company may disclose the Customer’s Non-personal information to Microsoft.

Microsoft may use the Non-personal information to contact the Customer about products and services that may be of interest to the Customer, as permitted by law, as well as to evaluate the Customer’s compliance with any applicable licensing agreements. If the Customer  does not want the Company  to use or disclose its information in this way, the Customer may choose to enter into a contract directly with the Company wherein the Customer  may determine under what circumstances the Company may disclose its Information to third parties subject to the Company’s approval.

Transferring customer’s personal information

The Company transfers and stores Information it has collected from the Customer’s network to the Company’s data processing center by encrypted secure sockets layer (“SSL”) data link.

If the Customer would like to make use of this setting, please notify our Privacy Officer. 

When a Customer provides its Information to the Company or engages with the Software and Services, the Customer consents to this transfer, storage, and processing of its Information. 

Choices about how the company transfers customer information

The Customer may opt out of the transfer of its Information by adjusting a setting on its local appliance allowing the Customer to ensure that the Information is stored behind its own firewall. If the Customer would like to make use of this setting, please notify our Privacy Officer. 

Data Security

The security of the Customer’s Information is very important to the Company. The Company uses physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure Customer Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The Company stores all Information provided to it by the Customer behind firewalls on the Company’s secure servers. For greater clarity, all credential or other personal information will be encrypted using data encryption technology prior to being stored. 

Data Retention

Except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the Company will only retain the Customer’s personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Under some circumstances, the Company may anonymize or aggregate the Customer’s personal information so that it can no longer be associated with the Customer. The Company reserves the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to the Customer with the Customer’s consent.

The Customer has the right to request access to and to correct the personal information that the Company holds about the Customer. 

If the Customer wants to review, verify, correct, or withdraw consent to the use of its personal information the Customer may email our Privacy Officer to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that it has provided to the Company. 

The Company may request specific information from the Customer to help the Company confirm the Customer’s identity and its right to access, and to provide the Customer with the personal information the Company holds about the Customer in order to make any requested changes. 

Withdrawing customer consent

Where the Customer has provided its consent to the collection, use, and transfer of its personal information, the Customer may have the legal right to withdraw its consent under certain circumstances. To withdraw consent, if applicable, contact our Privacy Officer. Please note that if the Customer withdraws consent the Company may not be able to provide the Customer with the Software and Services The Company will explain the impact to the Customer at the time to inform the Customer’s decision regarding consent. 

Changes to the company’s policy

If the Company makes material changes to how the Company treats Customer’s personal information, the Company will post the new privacy policy on this page.
