Introduction

AD Apps (“We”, “Us”, the “Company”, or “ AD Apps”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We want to inform You (“you”, “your” or “end-user”) of how we use and protect your personal information or data (“Personal Data”). This includes making you aware of your rights regarding the Personal Data that we hold.

Our Apps are GDPR compliant.

The present Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) covers the information we collect about you when you use our products or services, including all of our SaaS/Cloud software products and our downloadable software products (collectively, the “Apps”) and all public websites (“Website(s)”) provided and/or maintained by AD Apps, or otherwise interact with us (for example, by contacting us via email or Jira Service Management). We hereby refer to all of these products, Apps, and Websites, together with our other services as “Services” in this Policy. “You” means the end-user of our products or the legal entity and its affiliates who is the licensee of our products, or the visitor of our public websites.

This Policy clarifies how we may use, process and store your Personal Data. We may obtain information from You or our partners, through contracts or other legal arrangements You have with us or our partners on behalf of us, to deliver contractual/legal obligations. In other cases, we will obtain information from You with your permission and consent, or we may receive your Personal Data from third parties to whom You have given consent to pass the information on to us.

By using, downloading, or visiting any of the AD Apps’s Services, you are accepting and consenting to the practices outlined in this Policy.

Notice to End Users

Many of our Services are intended for use by organizations. If 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 controlling the access. 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.

Administrators can:

  • Restrict your access to the Services and therefore restrict your ability to edit, modify or delete your Personal Data;

  • Access, modify and remove the information about you.

Even if the Services are not currently administered or made available to you by an organization if you use an email address provided by an organization (such as your work email address) to access the Services, the owner of the domain associated with your email address (e.g. your employer) may assert administrative control over your account and your use of the Services at a later date. Please contact your organization or refer to your administrator’s organizational policies for more information.

Information we may collect from you

We may collect information from You because we have a legal reason (allowed by law or under contract) to collect the information, or because You have consented for us to do so for a specific purpose.

B. Information received from the Atlassian Marketplace

As part of Our Products and Services, We have access to the contact information (e.g., your name, phone number, e-mail address, any physical address) and license information (e.g., number of licenses, the term of the license, etc.) You provide when You subscribe to a license for any of Our Services or when You renew maintenance for Our Services on the Atlassian Marketplace. We do not have any access to customer data from the Atlassian Marketplace beyond this.

C. Information we collect about you

If You visit our Website or you use our Services, we may automatically collect information about you, for example:

Who might AD Apps share your information with?

Our third-party service providers

Some of the services we provide require the involvement of our third-party service providers, such as web-hosting providers, application development, maintenance, virtual infrastructure (including storage and backup), payment processor providers, communications providers, customer relationship management providers, background check providers; recruitment firms; and software providers. We have carefully selected these third parties and have taken steps to ensure that your Personal Information is adequately protected.

Compliance with Laws and Legal Requests

We may disclose your Personal Information to a third party if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.

Protection of AD Apps Services

We may disclose your Personal Information to a third party if we believe it is reasonably necessary to:

  • Enforce our agreements, policies and terms of service;

  • Protect the security or integrity of AD Apps’s products and services;

  • Protect AD Apps, our customers or the public from harm or illegal activities;

  • Responding to an emergency in which we believe in the good faith requires us to disclose information to assist in preventing the death or serious bodily injury of any person.

Business Transfers

In the case of a sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, reorganization, or acquisition, any acquirer will obtain your personal information subject to our obligations under this Privacy Notice.

With Your Consent

We will share your Personal Data with third parties when we have your consent to do so.

Data storage and retention

We retain your personal information for the length of time required for the specific purpose or purposes for which it was collected, plus an additional three (3) months, which allows you to resume use of our services without loss of data.

We may be obliged to store some data for a longer time, for example, where a longer time is required by applicable law. In this case, we will ensure that your personal information will continue to be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Data location

We primarily store and process the data or information you provide in Europe.

Our Cloud Apps can be hosted on:

Some of the external service providers can be located in so-called third countries outside the European Union. We expect that our third-party service providers will comply with the terms of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and that any international data transfers be made under a recognized basis such as the US-EU Privacy Shield, EU Standard Contractual Clauses, and/or Binding Corporate Rules.

If you wish to know more about international transfers for your personal data, you may contact us.

Data Security

We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect your Personal Information.

All data is stored on servers with restricted access and only AD Apps’s authorized users have access to such data, to the extent required for the performance of their job duties. All staff with access to customer data are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement and complete security and privacy awareness training. In addition, We will take reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your Personal Data. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system is guaranteed to be entirely secure. If you have reasons to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem.

You are responsible for keeping your passwords confidential. We will not ask You for your passwords.
