This Privacy Policy covers the information we collect about you when you
use our products or services, or otherwise interact with us (for example,
by attending our premises or events or by communicating with us), unless a
different policy is displayed.
If you do not agree with this policy, do not access or use our Services or
interact with any other aspect of our business.
Where we provide the Services under contract with an organization (for
example, your employer), that organization controls the information
processed by the Services.
What information we collect about you
We collect information about you when you provide it to us, when you use
our Services, and when other sources provide it to us, as further
described below.
Information you provide to us
We collect information about you when you input it into the Services or
otherwise provide it directly to us.
Account and Profile Information:
We collect information about you when you register for an account,
create or modify your profile, set preferences, sign-up for or make
purchases through the Services. For example, you provide your contact
information and, in some cases, billing information, when you register
for the Services. You also have the option of adding a display name,
profile photo and other details to your profile information to be
displayed in our Services. We keep track of your preferences when you
select settings within the Services.
Content you provide through our products: The Services include the Kaizenify products you use, where we collect
and store content that you post, send, receive and share. This content
includes any information about you that you may choose to include.
Content also includes the files and links you upload to the Services. If
you use a server or data center version of the Services, we do not host,
store, transmit, receive or collect information about you (including
your content), except in limited cases, where permitted by your
administrator: we collect feedback you provide directly to us through
the product and; we collect content using analytics techniques that
hash, filter or otherwise
scrub the information to exclude information that might identify you or
your organization; and we collect clickstream data about how you interact
with and use features in the Services. Server and data center
administrators can disable our collection of this information from the
Services via the administrator settings or prevent this information from
being disclosed to us by blocking transmission at the local network level.
Content you provide through our websites:
The Services also include our websites owned or operated by us. We
collect other content that you submit to these websites, which include
social media or social networking websites operated by us. For example,
you provide content to us when you provide feedback or when you
participate in any interactive features, surveys, contests, promotions,
sweepstakes, activities or events.
Information you provide through our support channels:
The Services also include our customer support, where you may choose to
submit information regarding a problem you are experiencing with a
Service. Whether you designate yourself as a technical contact, open a
support ticket, speak to one of our representatives directly or
otherwise engage with our support team, you will be asked to provide
contact information, a summary of the problem you are experiencing, and
any other documentation, screenshots or information that would be
helpful in resolving the issue.
Payment Information:
We collect payment and billing information when you register for
certain paid Services. For example, we ask you to designate a billing
representative, including name and contact information, upon
registration. You might also
provide payment information, such as payment card details, which we
collect via secure payment processing services.
Information we collect automatically when you use the Services
We collect information about you when you use our Services, including
browsing our websites and taking certain actions within the Services.
Your use of the Services: We keep track of certain information about you when you visit and
interact with any of our Services. This information includes the
features you use; the links you click on; the type, size and filenames
of attachments you upload to the Services.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: Kaizenify and our third-party partners, such as our advertising and
analytics partners, use cookies and other tracking technologies (e.g.,
web beacons, device identifiers and pixels) to provide functionality and
to recognize you across different Services and devices..
Third Party Providers: We may receive information about you from third party providers of
business information and publicly available sources (like social media
platforms), including physical mail addresses, job titles, email
addresses, phone numbers, intent data (or user behavior data), IP
addresses and social media profiles, for the purposes of targeted
advertising of products that may interest you, delivering personalized
communications, event promotion, and profiling.
How we use information we collect
How we use the information we collect depends in part on which Services
you use, how you use them, and any preferences you have communicated to
us. Below are the specific purposes for which we use the information we
collect about you.
For research and development: We are always looking for ways to make our Services smarter, faster,
secure, integrated, and useful. We use information and collective
learnings (including feedback) about how people use our Services to
troubleshoot, to identify trends, usage, activity patterns, and areas
for integration and to improve our Services and to develop new products,
features and technologies that benefit our users and the public. We also
test and analyze certain new features with some users before rolling the
feature out to all users.
To communicate with you about the Services: We use your contact information to send transactional communications
via email and within the Services, including confirming your purchases,
reminding you of subscription expirations, responding to your comments,
questions and requests, providing customer support, and sending you
technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative
messages. We also send you communications as you onboard to a particular
Service to help you become more proficient in using that Service. These
communications are part of the Services and in most cases you cannot opt
out of them. If an opt out is available, you will find that option
within the communication itself or in your account settings.
To market, promote and drive engagement with the Services:
We use your contact information and information about how you use the
Services to send promotional
communications that may be of specific interest to you, including by email
and by displaying Kaizenify ads on other companies' websites and
applications. These communications may be informed by audits of
interactions (like counting ad impressions), and are aimed at driving
engagement and maximizing what you get out of the Services, including
information about new features, survey requests, newsletters, and events
we think may be of interest to you. We also communicate with you about new
Services, product offers, promotions, and contests.
Customer support: We use your information to resolve technical issues you encounter, to
respond to your requests for assistance, to analyze crash information,
and to repair and improve the Services. Where you give us express
permission to do so, we disclose information to a third party expert for
the purpose of responding to support-related requests.
For safety and security: We use information about you and your Service use to verify accounts
and activity, to detect, prevent, and respond to potential or actual
security incidents and to monitor and protect against other malicious,
deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, including violations of
Service policies.
To protect our legitimate business interests and legal rights: Where required by law or where we believe it is necessary to protect
our legal rights, interests and the interests of others, we use
information about you in connection with legal claims, compliance,
regulatory, and audit functions, and disclosures in connection with the
acquisition, merger or sale of a business.
With your consent: We use information about you where you have given us consent to do so
for a specific purpose not listed above. For example, we may publish
testimonials or featured customer stories to promote the Services, with
your permission.
How we disclose information we collect
We make collaboration tools, and we want them to work well for you. This
means disclosing information through the Services and to certain third
parties. We disclose information we collect about you in the ways
discussed below, including in connection with possible business transfers.
Please note that information about you, your devices, and your behavior
collected through third-party cookies, pixels, tags, or other tracking
technologies for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising may be
considered a
“sale” or “share” under certain US state laws. However, Kaizenify is not a
data broker, and we do not sell personal information for monetary
consideration.
Disclosing to other Service users
When you use the Services, we disclose certain information about you to
other Service users.
For collaboration: You can create content, which may contain information about you, and
grant permission to others to see, disclose, 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 profile information to other Service users when you
disclose or interact with specific content.
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 or associate that
email address with your existing account, and such organization wishes
to establish an account or site, certain information about you including
your name, profile picture, contact info, 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
disclose your contact information to current or past Service users, for
the purpose of facilitating Service-related requests.
Disclosing to third parties
We disclose information to third parties that help us operate, provide,
improve, integrate, customize, support and market our Services. Data
obtained through the short code program will not be shared with any third
parties for their marketing reasons/ purposes.
Service Providers: We work with third-party service providers to provide website and
application development, hosting, maintenance, backup, storage, virtual
infrastructure, payment processing, analysis, marketing, and other
services for us, which may require
them to access or use information about you. If a service provider needs
to access information about you to perform services on our behalf, they do
so under close instruction from us, including appropriate security and
confidentiality procedures designed to protect your information.
Kaizenify Partners: We work with third parties who provide consulting, sales, support,
and technical services to deliver and implement customer solutions
around the Services. We may disclose your information to these third
parties in connection with their services, such as to assist with
billing and collections, to provide localized support, and to provide
customizations. We may also disclose information to these third parties
where you have agreed to that disclosure.
Third Party Apps: You, your administrator or other Service users may choose to add new
functionality or change the behaviour of the Services by installing
third party apps within the Services. Doing so may give third-party apps
access to your account and information about you like your name and
email address, and any content you choose to use in connection with
those apps. If you are an administrator, or a technical or billing
contact listed on an account, we disclose your details to the
third-party app provider upon installation. Third-party app 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 disclosed to these third parties, please uninstall the
app.
Links to Third Party Sites: The Services may include links that direct you to other websites or
services whose privacy practices may differ from ours. If you submit
information to any of those third party sites, your information is
governed by their privacy policies, not this one. We encourage you to
carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.
Third Party Services:
We may offer you the ability to interact with or disclose information
to third parties through the Services. For example, we may offer users
the ability to log in to the Services via a third-party service like
Google, access embedded maps through Google Maps or interact with social
media networks via links on the Services. When you intentionally
interact with these third parties, we may disclose certain information
to those third parties or receive information with those third parties,
consistent with your privacy settings on the third-party service. Such
information may
include contact information, identification, and demographic information,
and device information and identifiers. You should always check the
privacy settings and notices in these third-party services to understand
how those third-parties may use your information.
Third Party Widgets: Some of our services contain widgets and social media features, such
as the Twitter "tweet" button or Facebook "like"
button. These widgets and features may collect your IP address, which
page you are visiting on the Services, and may set a cookie to enable
the feature to function properly. Widgets and social media features are
either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on our Services. You
should always check the privacy settings and notices in these
third-party services to understand how those third-parties may use your
information.
With your consent: We disclose information about you to third parties when you give us
consent to do so. For example, we often display personal testimonials of
satisfied customers on our public websites. With your consent, we may
post your name alongside the testimonial.
Compliance with Enforcement Requests and Applicable Laws; Enforcement of
Our Rights: In exceptional circumstances, we may disclose information about you
to a third party if we believe that sharing is reasonably necessary to
(a) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or
governmental request, including to meet national security requirements,
(b) enforce our agreements, policies and terms of service, (c) protect
the security or integrity of our products and services, (d) protect
Kaizenify, our customers or the public from harm or illegal activities,
or (e) respond to an emergency which we believe in good faith requires
us to disclose information to assist in preventing the death or serious
bodily injury of any person.
Disclosing to affiliated companies
We disclose information we collect to affiliated companies and, in some
cases, to prospective affiliates. Affiliated companies are companies owned
or operated by us. The protections of this privacy policy apply to the
information we disclose in these circumstances.
Kaizenify companies: We disclose information we have about you to other Kaizenify
corporate affiliates in order to operate and improve products and
services and to offer
other Kaizenify affiliated services to you. This includes companies that
own or operate the Services.
Business Transfers: We may disclose or transfer information we collect under this privacy
policy in connection with any merger, sale of company assets, financing,
or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Services
if a transaction takes place, as well as any choices you may have
regarding your information.
How we store and secure information we collect
Information storage and security
We use industry standard technical and organizational measures to secure
the information we store. While we implement safeguards designed to
protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to
the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that information,
during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or
otherwise in our
care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.
If you use our server or data center Services, responsibility for securing
storage and access to the information you put into the Services rests with
you and not Kaizenify. We strongly recommend that server or data center
users configure SSL to prevent interception of information transmitted
over networks and to restrict access to the databases and other storage
points used.
How long we keep information
How long we keep information we collect about you depends on the type of
information, as described in further detail below. After such time, we
will either delete or de-identify your information or, if this is not
possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup
archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it
from any further use until deletion is possible.
Account information: We retain your account information for as long as your account is
active and a reasonable period thereafter in case you decide to
re-activate the Services. We also retain some of your information as
necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to
enforce our agreements, to support business
operations, and to continue to develop and improve our Services. Where we
retain information for Service improvement and development, we take steps
to eliminate information that directly identifies you, and we only use the
information to uncover collective insights about the use of our Services,
not to specifically analyze personal characteristics about you.
Information you share on the Services: If your account is deactivated or disabled, some of your information
and the content you have provided will remain in order to allow your
team members or other users to make full use of the Services. For
example, we continue to display messages you sent to the users that
received them and continue to display content you provided, but when
requested details that can identify you will be removed.
Managed accounts: If the Services are made available to you through an organization
(e.g., your employer), we retain your information as long as required by
the administrator of your account. For more information, see
"Managed accounts and administrators" above.
Marketing information: If you have elected to receive marketing emails from us, we retain
information about your marketing preferences for a reasonable period of
time from the date you last expressed interest in our Services, such as
when you last opened an email from us or ceased using your Kaizenify
account. We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking
technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such
information was created.
How to access and control your information
You have certain choices available to you when it comes to your
information. Below is a summary of those choices, how to exercise them and
any limitations.
Your Choices:
Where applicable under local law, you may have certain rights with respect
to your personal information.
Depending on which jurisdiction you live in, you may have the right to
request information about our processing of your information, to request a
copy of your
information, to object to our use of your information (including for
marketing purposes), to request the deletion or restriction of your
information, to request your information in a structured, electronic
format, to request to correct or update your information, to request to
opt out of “sales” or “sharing” of personal information and targeted
advertising (as these terms are defined under applicable law), and to
request to opt out of certain profiling activities. Below, we describe the
tools and processes for making these requests. You can exercise some of
the choices by logging into the Services and using settings available
within the Services or your account. Where the Services are administered
for you by an administrator (see "Notice to End Users" below),
you may need to contact your administrator to assist with your requests
first. For all other requests, you may contact us as provided in the
Contact Us section below to request assistance.
Your request and choices may be limited in certain cases: for example, if
fulfilling your request would reveal information about another person, or
if you ask to delete information which we or your administrator are
permitted by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep. Where
you have asked us to disclose data to third parties, for example, by
installing third-party apps, you will need to contact those third-party
service providers directly to have your information deleted or otherwise
restricted. If you have unresolved concerns, you may have the right to
complain to a data protection authority in the country where you live,
where you work or where you feel your rights were infringed. Where
applicable under local law, you may also contact us as provided in the
“Contact Us” section below to appeal any decision we make relating to your
request to exercise your rights.
Access and update your information: Our Services and related documentation give you the ability to access
and update certain information about you from within the Service. For
example, you can access your profile information from your account and
search for content containing information about you using key word
searches in the Service. You can update your profile information within
your profile settings and modify content that contains information about
you using the editing tools associated with that content.
Deactivate your account: If you no longer wish to use our Services, you or your administrator
may be able to deactivate your Services account. If you can deactivate
your own account, that setting is available to you in your account
settings. Otherwise, please contact your administrator. If you are an
administrator and are unable to deactivate an account through your
administrator settings, please contact the appropriate support team
through Kaizenify support.
How we transfer information we collect internationally
International transfers of information we collect
We collect information globally and may transfer, process, and store your
information outside of your country of residence, to wherever we or our
third-party service providers operate for the purpose of providing you the
Services. Whenever we transfer your information, we take steps to protect
it.
Other important privacy information
Notice to End Users

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 than this policy.

require you to reset your account password;
-
restrict, suspend or terminate your access to the Services;
-
access information in and about your account;

Sensitive personal information:
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes
other than permitted under applicable law.
Retention: We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to carry
out the business purposes described in this policy, or as otherwise
required under law. The length of retention may vary depending upon
factors such as record keeping or legal compliance requirements, the
need to resolve inquiries or complaints, and the existence of an ongoing
relationship with you.
We encourage you to manage your information, and to make use of the
privacy controls we have included in our Services. You will not be
discriminated against for exercising any of your privacy rights under the
CCPA. In order to protect your information from unauthorized access or
deletion, we may require you to provide additional information to for
