Web Beacons

Addigy uses Web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about Customers and Visitors’ usage of the Company’s Web sites and interaction with emails from the Company. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you viewed a particular Web site tied to the Web beacon, and a description of a Web site tied to the Web beacon. For example, Addigy may place Web beacons in marketing emails that notify the Company when you click on a link in the email that directs you to one of the Company’s Web sites. Addigy uses Web beacons to operate and improve the Company’s Web sites and email communications.

IP Addresses

When you visit Addigy’s Web sites, the Company collects your Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses to track and aggregate non-personal information. For example, Addigy uses IP addresses to monitor the regions from which Customers and Visitors navigate the Company’s Web sites.

Social Media Features

The Company’s Web sites may use social media features, such as the Facebook ‘like’ button (“Social Media Features”). These features may collect your IP address, Email Address, and which page you are visiting on the Company’s Web site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. You may be given the option by such Social Media Features to post information about your activities on the Company’s Web site to a profile page of yours that is provided by a third party Social Media network in order to share with others within your network. Social Media Features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the Company’s Web site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the relevant Social Media Features.

Do Not Track

Currently, various browsers – including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari – offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to Web sites’ visited by the user about the user’s browser DNT preference setting. Addigy does not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to the Company’s Web sites, in part, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. Addigy takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

Opt-out

To opt-out of our use of cookies, you can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from web sites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all aspects of our Services. Addigy and our third-party partners also collect information using web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”).

Many browsers include their own management tools for removing HTML5 local storage objects. You may be able to opt out of receiving personalized advertisements using the “Opt Out” banner on our web sites where applicable.

For more information about how to opt out of any web tracking, please refer to www.aboutads.info, networkadvertising.org, or youronlinechoices.eu (Europe only).

You will not be able to opt-out of any cookies or other technologies that are “strictly necessary” for the Services.

Addigy is not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these forums.

Customers and Visitors may elect to use the Company’s referral program to inform friends about the Company’s Web sites. When using the referral program, the Company requests the friend’s name and email address. Addigy will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the Company’s Web sites.

6. Sharing of information collected

Service Providers

Addigy may share Data About Addigy Customers with the Company’s contracted service providers so that these service providers can provide services on our behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, Addigy may also share Data about Addigy Customers with the Company’s service providers to ensure the quality of information provided, and with third-party social networking and media Web sites, such as Facebook, for marketing and advertising on those Web sites. Unless described in this Privacy Statement, Addigy does not share, sell, rent, or trade any information with third parties for their promotional purposes.

Managed Accounts And Administrators

If you register or access the Services using an email address with a domain that is owned by your employer or organization, and such organization wishes to establish an account or site, certain information about you including your name, IP Address, contact information, content, and past use of your account may become accessible to that organization’s administrator and other Service users sharing the same domain. If you are an administrator for a particular site or group of users within the Services, we may share your contact information with current or past Service users, for the purpose of facilitating Service-related requests.

For Collaboration

You can create content, which may contain information about you, and grant permission to others to see, share, edit, copy and download that content based on settings you or your administrator (if applicable) select. Some of the collaboration features of the Services display some or all of your information to other Service users when you share or interact with specific content. For example, when you comment on a Public Software Catalog Item, we display your user name and organization name next to your comments so that other users with access to the page or issue understand who made the comment. Please be aware that some aspects of Addigy Services like Custom or “Smart” Software can be made publicly available, meaning any content posted, including information about you, can be viewed within the Addigy Services by other Addigy users.

Addigy Affiliates

The Company may share Data about Addigy Customers with other companies in order to work with them. For example, the Company may need to share Data About Addigy Customers for customer relationship management purposes.

Business Partners

Addigy may partner with other companies to jointly offer products or services. If you purchase or specifically express interest in a jointly-offered product or service from Addigy, the Company may share Data About Addigy Customers collected in connection with your integration, purchase, or expression of interest with our joint partner(s). Addigy does not control our business partners’ use of the Data About Addigy Customers we collect, and their use of the information will be in accordance with their own privacy policies. If you do not wish for your information to be shared in this manner, you may opt not to purchase or specifically express interest in a jointly offered product or service. We work with third parties who provide software, sales tools, and technical services to deliver and implement customer solutions around the Services. We may share your information with these third parties in connection with their services, such as to assist with billing and collections, to provide support, and to provide customizations. We may also share information with these third parties where you have agreed to that sharing.

Third Parties

This Privacy Statement sets forth the information Addigy collects on the Company’s Web sites and the information we share with third parties. Addigy does not authorize the collection of personal information by third parties through advertising technologies deployed on the Company’s Web sites, nor do we share personal information with any third parties collected from the Company’s Web sites, except as provided in this Privacy Statement. Section 4 of this Privacy Statement, Website Navigational Information, specifically addresses the information we collect through cookies and web beacons, and how you can control cookies through your Web browsers.

Third-party Integrations

You, your administrator, or other Service users may choose to add new functionality or change the behavior of the Addigy Service by installing third-party Integrations within the Addigy Services. Doing so may give third-party apps access to your account and information about you like your device name, IP address, and email address, and any content you choose to use in connection with those apps. Third-party functionality policies and procedures are not controlled by us, and this privacy policy does not cover how third-party apps use your information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third parties before connecting to or using their applications or services to learn more about their privacy and information handling practices. If you object to information about you being shared with these third parties, please disable the third-party integration.

Read more information about Stripe’s service agreement.

Compelled Disclosure

Addigy reserves the right to use or disclose information provided if required by law or if the Company reasonably believes that use or disclosure is necessary to protect the Company’s rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.

Oversight

For this Privacy Policy and its content, Addigy is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). If Addigy becomes subject to an FTC or court order based on non-compliance with this policy or Data Privacy Framework, Addigy shall make public any relevant DPF related sections of any compliance or assessment report submitted to the FTC, to the extent consistent with confidentiality requirements.

Arbitration

In the event of a dispute between You and Addigy arising under or relating to the Privacy Policy, either party may choose to resolve the dispute by binding arbitration, as described below, instead of in court (the “Arbitration Agreement”). Addigy has, as is described further in the Privacy Policy, committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider. Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Data Privacy Framework web site, you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted. Any claim (except for a claim challenging the validity or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including the Class Action Waiver) may be resolved by binding arbitration if either side requests it. If You or Addigy choose to submit arbitration, neither party shall have the right to litage a claim in court or to have a trial, including discovery and appeal rights.

7. International transfer of information collected

The Company stores Customer Data in the United States.

Legal Bases For Processing (For EEA Users)

If you are an individual in the European Economic Area (EEA), we collect and process information about you only where we have legal basis for doing so under applicable EU laws. The legal basis depends on the Addigy Services you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only where:

  • We need it to provide you the Services, including to operate the Services, provide customer support and personalized features and to protect the safety and security of Addigy Services;
  • It satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote the Services and to protect our legal rights and interests;
  • You give us consent to do so for a specific purpose; or
  • We need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.

If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your information because we or a third party (e.g. your employer) have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using Addigy Services. 

If we transfer your personal information out of the European Economic Area or Switzerland and are required to apply additional safeguards to your personal information under European data protection legislation, we will do so. Such safeguards may include applying the newly modernized EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as of June 4th 2021, for the transfer of personal data to third countries described here, or for transfers to third parties in the United States. Addigy has self-certified to the EU-US and Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework.

Addigy will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such Customer Data except as provided in the Addigy Customer Agreement, or as may be required by law.

Whenever we transfer your information, we take steps to protect it.

We encourage you to review our privacy policy whenever you use Addigy Services to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

If you disagree with any changes to this privacy policy, you will need to stop using Addigy Services and deactivate your account(s), as outlined above.

12. Other important privacy information

Notice to End Users

Many of our products are intended for use by organizations. Where the Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g. your employer), that organization is the administrator of the Services and is responsible for the accounts and/or Service sites over which it has control. If this is the case, please direct your data privacy questions to your administrator, as your use of the Services is subject to that organization’s policies. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of an administrator’s organization, which may be different from this policy.

Administrators are able to:

  • require you to reset your account password;
  • restrict, suspend or terminate your access to the Services;
  • access information in and about your account;
  • access or retain information stored as part of your account;
  • install or uninstall third-party apps or other integrations

In some cases, administrators can also:

  • restrict, suspend or terminate your account access;
  • change the email address associated with your account;
  • change your information, including profile information;
  • restrict your ability to edit, restrict, modify or delete information

Even if the Addigy Services are not currently administered to you by an organization, if you use an email address provided by an organization (such as your work email address) to access Addigy Services, then the owner of the domain associated with your email address (e.g. your employer) may assert administrative control over your account and use of the Services at a later date. You will be notified if this happens.

If you do not want an administrator to be able to assert control over your account or use of Addigy Services, use your personal email address to register for or access the Services. If an administrator has not already asserted control over your account or access to the Services, you can update the email address associated with your account through your account settings in your profile. Once an administrator asserts control over your account or use of the Services, you will no longer be able to change the email address associated with your account without administrator approval.

Please contact your organization or refer to your administrator’s organizational policies for more information.
