Our websites: the URL and any other Client website(s) and or applications on which this Privacy Policy appears (“Sites”); 
Offline communications such as phone calls, messages or site visits (“Offline Communications”);

Client Platform 


This Privacy Policy may apply to Client software-as-a-service products, including the licensed software available through our platform via URL, and any software, mobile applications, products, devices, or other services (collectively “Client Platform”). 


For much of the Personal Data processed through the Client Platform, we act as a processor/service provider and will only process such information on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of our customers. Use of the Client Platform is governed by a separate agreement, including an executed data protection agreement as applicable (“Offerings”), that covers the use and processing of data provided by users, which may include Personal Data, as well as other information or documents uploaded into the Platform (“Platform Content”). The customer (e.g., your employer or another entity or person) that entered into the Subscription Agreement with Client controls its use and access of the Client Platform (their “Instance”) and any associated processing of Platform Content. If you have been granted access to the Client Platform/URL as a user, please contact the customer whose Instance you are using for questions regarding Platform Content.

By using the Sites, URL, Client Platform, or otherwise giving us your Personal Data through our Websites, Services, Events, or Offline Communications, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. 

Personal Data We Collect


We may collect Personal Data in several ways, including from you directly, automatically when engaging our Sites and/or URL and/or Client Platform, and/or through third parties.

We may collect information directly from you when you engage with the Sites and set up accounts, sign up for or engage in any of our Services, register for Events, contact customer support via telephone or email; engage with our social media platforms or other Services, visit our offices, or otherwise contact us.

Instance Information: When we create or update an Instance, the Customer may provide us with account information associated with the Instance, such as email address, business address, phone number, password, domain, and similar account details or any combination of the previously mentioned. This information may also include credit card or other financial account information in connection with an order to purchase a subscription to the Client Platform. Client utilises credit card payment processors such as FiServe, Plaid, and Stripe for credit card purchases. Client does not store credit card information other than confirmation that a credit card payment was made. We collect contact and account information from you that we pass through to the payment processor to facilitate the transaction. Other purchase order financial information may be collected and stored in our systems. We use this information for account management and billing purposes.

We automatically collect information regarding the actions you take on the Sites and Client Platform. This type of usage data helps us understand trends in our users’ needs so we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor the Sites and Client Platform. We may share this usage data with third parties for legitimate business purposes, including to help us better understand our customers’ needs and improve the Sites and Client Platform. Some examples of the usage data we may collect include:

  • the type of Web browser you use;
  • device type;
  • log or site access data;
  • your operating system;

We may store such usage data itself and such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by Client affiliates, agents, or service providers. We may use such information and pool it with other information, for example, to track the total number of visitors to our Sites or users of the Client Platform, or each page of our Sites, etc. We use this information to help us understand how people use the Sites and Client Platform and to enhance our Services.

We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded. We link certain information we store within the analytics software to authorized users for customer usage and metrics, and to aid in customer success.

We only provide our Service Providers with the information necessary for them to perform these services on our behalf.

In addition, please remember that when you share information in any other communications with third parties, that information may be passed along or made public by others.

Security


At Client, we’re serious about information security, and have implemented numerous security measures to achieve that goal. Client implements appropriate physical, operational, and technical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. Some of those measures include an internationally recognized security certification for ISO 27001:2013. Client has also been audited and received a SOC 2 report addressing the security and confidentiality of the Client Platform. Please review our Security Measures page for detailed information about some of our security practices.
We also contractually require that our Service Providers protect such information from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. 
You should be aware that no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect information transmitted on or through the Sites, we cannot and do not guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through the Sites.

Data Retention


We will retain your information for as long as we have an ongoing business relationship with you or the business need to do so (for example: to comply with applicable law, tax requirements, or enforce our agreements). 
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, we may either delete or de-identify it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

International Data Transfers


Your Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are a resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. 
Specifically, our Sites are hosted in the United States and our group companies and Service Providers operate around the world.
We have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your Personal Data will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For example, before transferring your Personal Data from the EEA to the United States, we will ensure that we have an appropriate mechanism for the international transfer in place, such as a data protection agreement with standard contractual clauses.
