Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information that relates to you as an identifiable individual (often referred to as “personal information” or “personal data”) that Playbird receives or collects when you interact with us, the Playbird Microsoft Add-In, and any of our other services, websites, and software (the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party services, websites, or software, such as third-party applications that may be integrated into our Services via API. Those services, websites, and software are subject to their own terms and privacy policies, and you should read those carefully.

Information We Collect

We collect and receive the following types of information:

Information You Provide to Us:

Account Information: To create an account for the Services or to enable certain features, we require that you provide us with information for your account such as name, email, password, and authentication credentials. If you sign up for a paid subscription, we (or our payment processors) may need your billing details such as credit card information, banking information, and billing address.
Contact and Other Customer Data: In using our Services, our customers submit or upload contracts, seek user support, or provide other Customer Data (defined in our Terms of Service) to us. Our use of and processing of Customer Data is governed by our Terms of Service.
Other Information You Provide: We receive other information from you when you choose to interact with us in other ways, such as if you sign up for one of our webinars or e-books, participate in a research study, contest, sweepstake, or event, apply for a job, or otherwise communicate with us.

Information We Collect Automatically:

Usage Data: We automatically collect usage data about how you interact with our Services when you use them. For example, this could be actions you take on our platform or what third-party integrations you enabled.
Log Data: Our servers automatically log certain types of data when you visit or use our Services, for example, when you navigate through our website. This data is stored in our log files and includes, Internet Protocol (IP) address, type of device, operating system or browser, unique device identifiers, browser settings, date and time you visited or used our Services, the referring website, URL parameters, and error and crash reporting data.
Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies: A cookie is a small piece of information that is downloaded to your device by your browser when you visit a website. We use cookies or similar technologies (including third-party cookies) to remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our Services or emails that we send you, maintain the security of our Services, and administer, improve and promote our Services. You can configure your browser to prevent cookies, but please note that disabling cookies may make some features or functionality unavailable to you.

Information We Receive from Third Parties:

Third-Party Integrations: Third parties may create integrations built on Playbird technology so that their applications can interoperate with Playbird. If you choose to enable an integration, the third-party may share some information about you with us to make your experience more seamless, such as your name, email, or other content or information needed to facilitate the integration. Additionally, if you sign up or login to our Services using one of our single-sign-on providers (e.g., Google, Apple, etc.), we collect authentication information provided to us by the provider to allow you to log in.
Marketing Information: We may receive marketing or demographic information about you from third parties or partners, for example, data about your organization or industry or other public information from sources like social media or online professional profiles. We may combine this information with other data we already have to improve your experience with our Services or inform you of Services we think may be of interest to you.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information in the following ways:

To provide and maintain our Services.
To analyze and improve our Services.
To keep our Services secure and protect against fraud, abuse, and intrusion.
To provide user support, information, and services requested by you.
To send important account or security notifications.
To promote our Services in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If you’d like to unsubscribe from our marketing emails, click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email. You can also update your notification preferences in your account settings.
To comply with our legal obligations, including responding to a court order or other valid legal process.
For other purposes with your consent.

Please keep in mind that customers control their accounts and associated Customer Data. We use Customer Data according to our customers’ instructions and our Terms of Service. Customers are able to: (1) restrict, remove, disclose, and access content and information associated with the accounts in their Workspaces; (2) grant, deny, or limit access to those accounts and Workspaces; and (3) configure the privacy settings for those accounts and Workspaces. If you create a Playbird account with your work email and you aren’t already part of your company’s Workspace, your company may have the ability to add your account (including the content in it) to its Workspace. We’ll give you notice before that happens.

If information is aggregated or de-identified so that it can no longer be reasonably associated with an identifiable person, we may use it for any lawful purpose.

We share information outside of Playbird only as described below:

Trusted Third Parties: We disclose information to our service providers or other third-parties so they can help us provide our Services and run our business. Examples include for storing Customer Data, payment processing, providing customer service, and helping us with our marketing activities. We’ll only disclose the information necessary for these parties to perform their services for us, and they’ll be bound by contractual obligations to protect your personal information.
Third-party networks and websites: With third-party social media networks, advertising networks and websites, so that Playbird can market and advertise on third-party platforms and websites.
Administrators: If you join a Workspace owned by another person or entity, the administrator of that Workspace has the right to access the content in it. Customers and their authorized users may choose to share and disclose information according to their own policies. Also, if you sign up for Playbird with an email domain that is owned or managed by your employer or organization, we may share the fact that you have an account with us and some basic account information with your employer or organization.
Change in Business Structure: If Playbird is involved in a merger, acquisition, public offering, asset sale, insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar change in our business structure, we may need to disclose your information to those involved in the transaction, subject to confidentiality requirements.
For Legal Reasons: We may release your information if we believe it is necessary to comply with the law, regulation, valid legal process, an enforceable government request, to prevent fraud or a security breach, enforce our policies or agreements, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.
With Your Consent: We’ll otherwise share your information only with your consent. For example, if you choose to enable a third-party integration, we may share account information and/or content from your account, but only as authorized by you when you enable or use the integration.

How We Protect Your Information

We are committed to protecting your information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, and loss. We use industry-standard security practices to keep your information secure, such as encryption, access controls, physical security measures, and internal reviews of data collection, use, and storage. We’ve also obtained various compliance certifications and undergo ongoing audits to ensure continued security and compliance best practices.

However, data transmissions over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure or safe from intrusion by others. Be sure to use secure internet connections, protect your login credentials, and create strong passwords for your account.

Data Retention

We’ll retain information you store on our Services for as long as your account exists or as long as we need it to provide you Services. If you delete your account or your content from Playbird, we’ll permanently delete your account or content within 30 days, unless we need to retain any information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. For any other information we may receive or collect from you, we’ll retain that information for only as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Data Transfers

To provide our Services, we transmit, process, and store data in the United States and other locations around the world. For example, if you access our Services from a foreign country, data may be stored locally on the device you use to access the Services.

We perform data transfers in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Your Rights

Individuals in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and across the globe have certain statutory rights in relation to their personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, as well as to seek to update, delete, or correct this information. You can exercise most of these rights through your Playbird account. For example, if you wish to delete your personal information from Playbird, you may permanently delete your account. You can also access and update your account information via your account settings page. If you are unable to exercise your rights through your Playbird account, please contact the administrator of your Workspace, or otherwise you can send us your request.

If you believe that someone under 13 or the applicable age of digital consent has provided us with personal information in violation of this Privacy Policy, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete the information.
