privacy policy
Last updated may 29, 2024

Datavations, Inc. (“Datavations” or We”) are committed to complying with data protection legislation, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) as amended by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2020, and other applicable US consumer privacy laws. This privacy notice contains information on what personal data we collect, what we do with that information, and what rights you have. We process some personal data in order to run our business. There are a limited number of circumstances where we may share your information with third parties (for example, pursuant to a court order, for our marketing purposes, if we are part of a merger, or with our business partners and service providers who support our business or collaborate with us). We take the security of your information seriously and take steps to keep your information secure. Please read the full Privacy Policy below and you can always contact us if you have questions.


Introduction
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy (together with our Terms of Use) describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide—for example, when you visit any of our websites or contact us—and how we use, protect, and disclose that information.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected offline or on any third-party site or application (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from our websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or data collection, use and disclosure practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of each site you visit.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand Datavations’ policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. By accessing or using any of our websites or services (including email communications), you agree to this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you through a notice on our website home page. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our website and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes. Please check the Privacy Policy periodically for updates. 


Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It
We collect several types of information from and about users of our Services, including information:

  • By which you may be personally identified, such as name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit or debit card number or other financial information, credentialing information, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline (“Personal Information”);
  • That is about you but individually does not identify you, such as internet protocol address, your geographic location, traffic data, logs, referring/exit pages, date and time of your visit to our Website, error information, clickstream data, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use our Services, and/or;
  • About your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Services, and usage details.

We collect this information:

  • Directly from you when you provide it to us.
  • Automatically as you navigate through the Website. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies.
  • From third parties, for example, our business partners or clients.

Information You Provide to Us  

The information we collect on or through our Services may include:

  • Information that you provide by filling in forms using our Services. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our Services, subscribing to our Service, posting material, or requesting further services. We may also ask you for information when you report any issues related to our Services. 
  • Records and copies of your correspondence (including your name, email address, and content included in the email), if you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail at legal@datavations.com.
  • Your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete for research purposes.
  • Information relating to any transactions carried out between us in relation to our Services;
  • Information provided to us for the purpose of managing your practice, such as project information, scheduling information and information about your clients and client contacts (which may include name, email address, contact information, emails, images, documents, meeting information);
  • Information retained by us on your behalf, such as files and messages that you store using your account;
  • Personal Information that you provide to us voluntarily, such as your operating system and version, product registration number, and other requested information if you contact us via e-mail regarding support for our Services.
  • Personal Information collected at other points in the provision of our Services that state Personal Information is being collected.

Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies  

As you navigate through and interact with our Services, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

  • Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
  • Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer our Website, track users’ movements around our Website, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically collected data to Personal Information.
  • Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Website. This type of information is collected to make our Site more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.
  • Pixel Tag. In addition, we use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, that are used to track online movements of Web users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a format users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user. We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our users’ Personal Information.
  • Mobile Services. We may also collect non-personal information from your mobile device if you have downloaded our application. This information is generally used to help us deliver the most relevant information to you. Examples of information that may be collected and used include how you use our application and information about the type of device you use. In addition, in the event our application crashes on your mobile device, we will receive information about your mobile device model software version and device carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of our application. This information is sent to us as aggregated information and is not traceable to any individual and cannot be used to identify an individual.
  • Analytics Services. We may perform analytics on our Services or use third party analytics services, including but not limited to Google Analytics, on our Website or application (collectively, “Analytics Services”), to help analyze how users use our Services. We use the information we get from Analytics Services only to improve our Services. The information generated by the Cookies or other technologies about your use of our Services (the “Analytics Information”) is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services use Analytics Information to compile reports on user activity. The Analytics Services may also transfer the Analytics Information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process Analytics Information on their behalf. Each Analytics Service’s ability to use and share Analytics Information is restricted by such Analytics Service’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By using our Services, you consent to the processing of data about you by Analytics Services in the manner and for the purposes set out above. For a full list of Analytics Services, please contact us at the email address provided above (legal@datavations.com).
  • Social Media Features. Our Services may also include social media features (“Features”), such as buttons that let you share through Facebook, Twitter or Threads. These Features may collect your IP address, the page that you are visiting on our Site, as applicable, and may set a Cookie to enable the Features to function properly. Features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.
  • Information Collected from Third Party Companies. We may receive Personal Information from third party sources. We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you directly via our Services.

Notice About How We Use and Protect Personal Information

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including personal information:

  • To present our websites, products and services to you and continuously improve upon them.
  • To present our websites, products and services to you and continuously improve upon them.
  • To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us, or to market our products or services to you. This may include “remarketing,” which enables the delivery of our marketing content to you on websites across the internet after you visit our websites through use of cookies installed on your browser.
  • To notify you about changes to our website, products or services (including new offerings) and promotions or events.
  • To maintain the integrity and security of our websites, products, and services.
  • To create anonymous data for analytics.

Legal basis for the processing.

We are not allowed to process personal data if we do not have a valid legal ground. Therefore, we will only process your personal data if:

  • the processing is necessary to perform our contractual obligations towards you or to take pre-contractual steps at your request, such as when we authenticate your log-in to our services or ensure that you only have access to the services and data we have agreed to provide you with;
  • the processing is necessary to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, such as tax reporting or regulatory requirements;
  • the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of Datavations, and does not unduly affect your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (see below);
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest; or
  • in some cases, and as may be requested from you from time to time, we have obtained prior consent.

To the extent that we process any special categories of data relating to you, we will do so because:

  • the data has been manifestly made public;
  • the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim;
  • the processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest; or
  • you have given your explicit consent to us to process that information (where legally permissible).

Disclosure of Your Information

Protecting your personal information is important to us and we neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone. We may disclose or transfer personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy, including:

  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of Datavations’ assets, in which personal information held by Datavations about our websites’ users is among the assets transferred.
  • To our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers and other third parties we use to support our business or collaborate with and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes of providing services for or with us.
  • To comply with court order, law or legal process, including to respond to government or regulatory requests.
  • To enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements that govern the sale or use of our products and services.
  • To protect the rights, property or security of Datavations, our employees, our users or others.

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. Here are a couple of ways you can have control over your information:

  • Tracking Technologies and Advertising. Depending on your browser, you may be able to change settings to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the site may then be inaccessible or not function properly. In relation to email, you can disable most email tracking technology by preventing the loading of embedded pictures in the email. You can do this using your email software settings.

  • Promotional Offers from the Company. If you do not wish to receive promotional e-mail messages from us, you can opt-out by sending us an e-mail at legal@datavations.com asking to be omitted from future e-mail distributions.

Data Integrity and Proportionality

We only collect and retain as much personal information as needed for specific, identified purposes described in this Privacy Policy and we will not use it in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.

Disclosures for California Residents

This section provides information regarding the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, and supplements the disclosures and information throughout this Privacy Policy. The commitments in this section apply only to individuals covered by CCPA and are subject to certain statutory exceptions laid out in the CCPA.

Notice of Collection

The personal information we generally collect, use, and disclose regarding California residents as a Business (as defined under CCPA) is described above in the section, “Notice About How We Use and Protect Personal Information” and as follows:

Collection: In the past 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information enumerated in the CCPA:

  • Identifiers, including name, postal address, email address, and online identifiers (such as IP address).
  • Customer records, including company name, phone number, and company address.
  • Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, including race, gender, and country of residence.
  • Commercial or transactions information, including products or services purchased, obtained or considered, or other purchasing or consumption histories or preferences.
  • Internet activity, including browsing history, search history, and your interactions with our websites, emails, applications, and advertisements.
  • Employment and education information.
  • Inferences drawn from the above information about your predicted characteristics and preferences.

Sources: We collect the information directly from you, from other persons or entities (e.g. if another person or your employer provides your contact information in the course of a booking at one of our events), or third-party providers. In limited circumstances we may collect information from third-party services, where legally permitted to do so. We collect electronic personal information automatically as you interact our websites and advertisements.

Purposes of Collection: We collect and use these categories of personal information for the business purposes described in the “Use of Information” section above.

Disclosure: Any disclosures of such information to third parties over the preceding 12 months have been in accordance with the permitted categories in the “Disclosure of Your Information” section above.

Sale: We are a software company and not a data broker, and we do not sell your personal information in the course of providing our services and products to our customers. However, we use third party marketing companies that collect certain information about you through website cookies and similar online technologies which we use for marketing purposes. These third parties may collect information about you that they then aggregate with data collected about you through cookies placed on other websites/mobile apps. Under the CCPA, this type of sharing of information could be deemed a “sale”. We also disclose your information to carefully selected marketing partners, advertising technology vendors and social media platforms. This type of disclosure only occurs in limited markets and California consumers may opt out of the sale of your personal information, where applicable, by us to third parties at any time. You may submit a request to opt-out by emailing us at legal@datavations.com.

California Consumer Rights: The CCPA creates a right for certain covered individuals to request that a company disclose what, if any, personal information that company collects, uses, discloses, and sells about them specifically, or to request the deletion of personal information the company has collected or maintained about them. If you believe you have such a right under the CCPA and would like to exercise that right with respect to Datavations, please submit an email request to legal@datavations.com with “California Request to Know” or “California Request to Delete” in the subject line. For a “Request to Know,” please specify what details you would like to know, including any specific pieces of personal information you would like to access. For a “Request to Delete,” please specify what information you would like to have deleted (which may be all your information as required by the CCPA). If you submit a request, we may ask for information necessary to verify your identity and eligibility to assert this right, and we will respond to verified requests in accordance with the CCPA. You may also utilize an authorized agent to exercise your CCPA rights on your behalf. You may not be discriminated against because you exercise any of your rights under the CCPA, and Datavations is committed to this principle.

Security

We take your security seriously and take reasonable steps to protect and secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. We have implemented adequate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized, accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, misuse, disclosure or access and against all other unlawful forms of processing. These security measures have been implemented taking into account the state of the art of the technology, their cost of implementation, the risks presented by the processing and the nature of the personal data, with particular care for sensitive data.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our websites, products, or services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please do not share your password with anyone.

Although we take reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our websites. The transmission of information via the internet is not 100% secure and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the websites.

How Long Do We Store Your Data?

We will only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it may lawfully be processed or to comply with legal, regulatory or internal policy requirements.
