Effective Date: July 8th. 2021
At Augmentt Technology Inc. (“Augmentt”), your privacy is important to us. The purpose of this privacy statement is to let you know how we collect, use and disclose Personal Information, and to inform you of your rights with respect to such Personal Information. It is effective as of the Effective Date.
ABOUT AUGMENTT
Augmentt is an online service that enables its Partners and Customers to aggregate SaaS Usage data from multiple sources and quickly create a new, actionable perspective on their business (the “Service”).
APPLICABILITY OF PRIVACY STATEMENT
This Privacy Statement relates to “Personal Information”, meaning information about an identifiable individual, whether, for example, that individual is our Customer, or our Customer’s provisioned user or an individual whose information is part of Processed Data, as these terms are defined below. Whether a person is “identifiable” means that they can be identified by the information itself or by that information combined with other information reasonably available.
This Privacy Statement applies to Personal Information collected or managed by Augmentt through the use of the Service and our websites. This Privacy Statement is also intended to explain how we use information which is not identifiable (and thus not Personal Information) that is collected via our websites and the Service.
“Customer” refers to the customers of Augmentt and their provisioned users.
“Customer Information” refers to information about our Customers and their provisioned users.
“Processed Data” refers to information that is processed by Augmentt on behalf of our Customers through their use of the Service.
Augmentt does not have a direct relationship with many of the individuals whose Personal Information is included in Processed Data, but this privacy statement is intended to provide information about how all Personal Information is collected, used, disclosed, processed and protected by Augmentt.
CLASSIFICATION OF INFORMATION
When the Service is used by our Customers, we classify the Personal Information we collect, use and disclose into two main categories: The first is Personal Information included in Customer Information, and the second is Personal Information that is included in Processed Data. It is important to note that not all Customer Information or Processed Data is Personal Information, either because it relates to a company or a business, or it is not identifiable.
PROCESSED DATA
Augmentt does not control what information a Customer chooses to include in Processed Data. Because we are unable to determine whether it is Personal Information or other information, we treat it as though it may be Personal Information but our Customers are entirely responsible for any Personal Information they choose to include in Processed Data. All Customers and their provisioned users should understand that data in Augmentt can be exported, shared or displayed by a Customer or provisioned user. Customers and provisioned users are solely responsible for the use of such exported, shared or displayed data and for protecting it appropriately.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
From our Customers, we only collect Customer Information that is necessary to establish and maintain the provision of the Service to them, as well as to understand and improve the usage and performance of the Service. When our Customers are corporations, as opposed to individuals, this information is not “Personal Information”. This Customer Information includes:
Customer name
Contact information, including postal and email addresses
Billing address
Billing details (as necessary for our internal accounting purposes and for processing payments through our contracted processing service)
Login information for authorized users, such as usernames and encrypted passwords
Information about how the Customer and its authorized users use the Service, including information about the Customer, location information, usage patterns and intended use of the Service.
Information provided by the Customer and its authorized users in connection with any support given by the Augmentt team related to the Service.
Login information for third party integrations to Augmentt, such as usernames and encrypted passwords
In connection with our marketing, sales and Customer support functions, we may collect publicly-available information about our Customers and provisioned users, which is used for the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement.
PURPOSES FOR COLLECTION
As stated in more detail in our Terms of Service, Augmentt does not use any identifiable Processed Data for its own purposes. Processed Data is only processed by Augmentt on behalf of our Customers to provide them with the Service. Individual provisioned users whose Personal Information is contained in Processed Data should refer to the Customer’s privacy policy for an understanding of how Personal Information is collected, used, disclosed and otherwise processed by the Customer by use of the Service.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Augmentt may share Personal Information with people within the company who have a “need to know” the information for business or legal reasons, for example, in order to carry out an administrative function, such as processing an invoice or supporting questions that you have submitted to Augmentt. We may share Personal Information with third parties, including:
government and regulatory authorities, for example to respond to a legal request or comply with a legal obligation, in which case we will make reasonable efforts to give the relevant individual notice of the disclosure, provided we are able to identify the individual and are lawfully able to do so;
for the purposes of seeking legal or other professional advice;
suppliers of IT services and third service providers engaged by Augmentt as further detailed in this Privacy Statement and our Terms of Service and
in the event that we sell, buy or merge any business or assets, including to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets and their respective professional advisers.
We may also share anonymous or de-identified information with other third parties in connection with the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement.
RIGHT OF ACCESS
Pursuant to applicable law, you may have certain rights in relation to your Personal Information, including a right of access. If your Personal Information is a part of our Customer’s Processed Data, you should seek this access from the relevant Customer. If we control the Personal Information, we may require additional information to confirm your identity, which will only be used for that purpose.
DATA LOCATION
Unless a Customer is using a Custom Data Store and therefore storing their Processed Data on their site, Augmentt uses Amazon Web Services to store and manage Customer Information and Processed Data in and from Canada and to back up Customer Information and Processed Data in Ireland. As indicated in the following section, Augmentt uses service providers outside of Canada to store and manage the certain data and analytics associated with use of the Service.
