What information do we collect?
We may collect the following types of information from or about you:
- Personal Information
Personal Information is individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual. We gather the following types of Personal Information:
- Registration details: When ordering or registering to our Services, we may collect certain information that can be used to identify you (as the Customer’s point of contact or as a User) such as: name, email address, postal address, phone number, user IDs and other relevant details which are relevant to the Customer.
- Customer’s payment information: In order for you to enjoy all of the functions which we offer, we collect payment information from you, including your credit card number and bank account details. Please note that your billing information, to the extent provided by you, is forwarded directly to a third party billing or clearing company engaged by us, and is not kept by us.
- Payment gateway provider’s Privacy Policy: The Customer (end-user) agrees to the transferral of their data related to the payment methods, membership and orders to iyzico Ödeme Hizmetleri A.Ş. (“iyzico”) and agrees to the processing and storage of these data by iyzico in order to finalize the payment transactions and to enable prevention, investigation and detection of fraudulent transactions as described in the most current version of the Privacy Policy at https://www.iyzico.com/en/privacy-policy/
- Voluntary information: We also collect information which you provide us voluntarily. For example, when you respond to communications from us, ask our support, communicate with us via email or share additional information about yourself through your use of the Services.
- Device information: We also collect specific types of connection details and information with regard to your device, software or hardware that may identify you, such as: online identifiers, device’s unique identifiers (e.g. UDID, MAC address), IP address and geolocation.
- Non-personal Information
Non-personal Information is non-identifiable information that, when taken alone, cannot be used to identify or contact you. As such, we are not aware of the identity of the user from which the Non-personal Information was collected.
- Analytics Data: Our servers automatically record certain information regarding the use of our Website and the Services. Such data may include information such as the website that a User was visiting before accessing to our Webpage and other statistics related to our Services. We also perform statistical analysis on all the data and metadata which is collected through our Services.
We use this information to administer the Services and analyze this information to improve and enhance the Services by expanding their features and functionality. Such data is also used for troubleshooting errors and bugs as well as for research and analytics purposes about your use of the Services.
For avoidance of doubt, if we combine Personal Information with Non-personal Information (e.g. analytics data), the combined information will be treated as Personal Information as long as it remains combined.
- Anonymous information: We may anonymize or de-identify the information collected by the Services or via other means so that the information cannot, on its own, personally identify you. Our use and disclosure of such aggregated or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation and for any purpose.
- User Data
By using the Product, we extract data from Customer’s documents that are transmitted through our Customers’ platforms (e.g. “User Data“). Such User Data is transferred by the Customer (or its Users) and processed by us on our cloud computing servers. The Company provides such services as a “data processor”, acting under the sole direction of its Customers and Users.
User Data may include records of operations of Customer’s applications and systems and other information relating to Customer’s employees’/ end-users’ activities. It may also include data, logs, text, audio, video or images that a Customer or any User uses in connection with Customer’s account and any computational results that a Customer or any User derives from the foregoing through their use of the Product.
Please note that User Data is exclusively controlled by the Customer, meaning that the Customer (or any Users authorized by the Customer to use the Product on its behalf), maintain ownership of their related User Data and determine their own policies regarding the access permission and retention of the User Data.
Here are some examples of User Data that may be recorded and processed when you use our Product (keep in mind they are only examples and there may be others):
- Digital files created or transmitted through User’s platforms, such as text files;
- Contact directories (such as names and email addresses);
- Device identifiers – such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address and other types of unique device identifiers relating to Customer’s and its users’ devices.
- Non-personal Information (as defined below), including usernames, directory names, server names, share names, file names, configurations, logs related to the Company (e.g. event logs), browsing events and technical information transmitted by the Customer’s and its Users’ devices, etc.
Please note that such User Data may include Personal Information. If you (as a Customer or a User) submit to us or to third-parties acting on our behalf any Personal Information relating to other individuals (e.g. employees, end-users, etc.) in connection with your use of the Product, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
