This Privacy Policy describes how Project Delivery System collects, uses, and discloses information, and what choices you have with respect to the information.

When we refer to “Project Delivery System”, we mean the Project Delivery System, entity that acts as the controller or processor of your information, as explained in more detail in the “Identifying the Data Controller and Processor” section below.

Applicability of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Project Delivery System’s online business process management tools and platform, including any associated Project Delivery System mobile and desktop applications (collectively, the “Services”), Project Delivery System.com and other Project Delivery System websites (collectively, the “Websites”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, user conferences, etc.) you may have with Project Delivery System. If you do not agree with the terms, do not access, or use the Services, Websites, or any other aspect of Project Delivery System’s business.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with the Services through the Project Delivery System platform (“Third Party Services”), or any other third-party products, services, or businesses. In addition, a separate agreement governs delivery, access and use of the Services (the “Customer Agreement”), including the processing of any messages, files or other content submitted through Services accounts (collectively, “Customer Data”). The organization (e.g., your employer or another entity or person) that entered into the Customer Agreement (“Customer”) controls their instance of the Services (their “Workspace”) and any associated Customer Data. If you have any questions about specific Workspace settings and privacy practices, please contact the Customer whose Workspace you use. If you have received an invitation to join a Workspace but have not yet created an account, you should request assistance from the Customer that sent the invitation.

Information We Collect and Receive

Project Delivery System may collect and receive Customer Data and other information and data (“Other Information”) in a variety of ways:

Customer Data. Customers or individuals granted access to a Workspace by a Customer (“Authorized Users”) routinely submit Customer Data to Project Delivery System when using the Services.
Other Information. Project Delivery System also collects, generates and/or receives Other Information:
1. Usage Information.
  - Services Metadata. When an Authorized User interacts with the Services, metadata is generated that provides additional context about the way Authorized Users work. For example, Project Delivery System logs the Workspaces, templates, processes, people, features, content, and links you interact with, the types of files shared and what Third Party Services are used (if any).
  - Log data. As with most websites and technology services delivered over the Internet, our servers automatically collect information when you access or use our Websites or Services and record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited before using the Website or Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data.
  - Device information. Project Delivery System collects information about devices accessing the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and crash data. Whether we collect some or all this Other Information often depends on the type of device used and its settings.
  - Location information. We receive information from you, your Customer and other third parties that helps us approximate your location. We may, for example, use a business address submitted by your employer, or an IP address received from your browser or device to determine approximate location. Project Delivery System may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device.
2. Cookie Information. Project Delivery System uses cookies and similar technologies in our Websites and Services that help us collect Other Information. The Websites and Services may also include cookies and similar tracking technologies of third parties, which may collect Other Information about you via the Websites and Services and across other websites and online services.
3. Third Party Services. Customer can choose to permit or restrict Third Party Services for their Workspace. Typically, Third Party Services are software that integrate with our Services, and Customer can permit its Authorized Users to enable and disable these integrations for their Workspace. Once enabled, the provider of a Third-Party Service may share certain information with Project Delivery System. For example, if a cloud storage application is enabled to permit files to be imported to a Workspace, we may receive username and email address of Authorized Users, along with additional information that the application has elected to make available to Project Delivery System to facilitate the integration. Authorized Users should check the privacy settings and notices in these Third-Party Services to understand what data may be disclosed to Project Delivery System. When a Third-Party Service is enabled, Project Delivery System is authorized to connect, and access Other Information made available to Project Delivery System in accordance with our agreement with the Third-Party Provider. We do not, however, receive or store passwords for any of these Third-Party Services when connecting them to the Services.
4. Contact Information. In accordance with the consent process provided by your device, any contact information that an Authorized User chooses to import (such as an address book from a device) is collected when using the Services.
5. Third Party Data. Project Delivery System may receive data about organizations, industries, Website visitors, marketing campaigns and other matters related to our business from parent corporation(s), affiliates and subsidiaries, our partners, or others that we use to make our own information better or more useful. This data may be combined with Other Information we collect and might include aggregate level data, such as which IP addresses correspond to zip codes or countries. Or it might be more specific: for example, how well an online marketing or email campaign performed.
6. Additional Information Provided to Project Delivery System. We receive Other Information when submitted to our Websites or if you participate in a focus group, contest, activity, or event, apply for a job, request support, interact with our social media accounts or otherwise communicate with Project Delivery System.

Generally, no one is under a statutory or contractual obligation to provide any Customer Data or Other Information (collectively, “Information”). However, certain Information is collected automatically and, if some Information, such as Workspace setup details, is not provided, we may be unable to provide the Services.

How We Use Information

Customer Data will be used by Project Delivery System in accordance with Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and Customer’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. Project Delivery System is a processor of Customer Data and Customer is the controller. Customer may, for example, use the Services to grant and remove access to a Workspace, assign roles and configure settings, access, modify, export, share and remove Customer Data and otherwise apply its policies to the Services.

Project Delivery System uses Other Information in furtherance of our legitimate interests in operating our Services, Websites, and business. More specifically, Project Delivery System uses Other Information:

To provide, update, maintain and protect our Services, Websites, and business. This includes use of Other Information to support delivery of the Services under a Customer Agreement, prevent or address service errors, security, or technical issues, analyze and monitor usage, trends, and other activities or at an Authorized User’s request.
As required by applicable law, legal process, or regulation.
To communicate with you by responding to your requests, comments, and questions. If you contact us, we may use your Other Information to respond.
To develop and provide search, learning and productivity tools and additional features. Project Delivery System tries to make the Services as useful as possible for specific Workspaces and Authorized Users. For example, we may improve search functionality by using Other Information to help determine and rank the relevance of content, channels, or expertise to an Authorized User, make Services suggestions based on historical use and predictive models, identify organizational trends and insights, to customize a Services experience or create new productivity features and products.
To send emails and other communications. We may send you service, technical and other administrative emails, messages, and other types of communications. We may also contact you to inform you about changes in our Services, our Services offerings, and important Services-related notices, such as security and fraud notices. These communications are considered part of the Services and you may not opt out of them. In addition, we sometimes send emails about new product features, promotional communications, or other news about Project Delivery System. These are marketing messages so you can control whether you receive them.
For billing, account management and other administrative matters. Project Delivery System may need to contact you for invoicing, account management and similar reasons and we use account data to administer accounts and keep track of billing and payments.
To investigate and help prevent security issues and abuse.

If Information is aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, Project Delivery System may use it for any business purpose. To the extent Information is associated with an identified or identifiable natural person and is protected as personal data under applicable data protection law, it is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Data.”

Data Retention

Project Delivery System will retain Customer Data in accordance with a Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and Customer’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. Depending on the Services plan, Customer may be able to customize its retention settings and apply those customized settings at the Workspace level or other level. Customer may also apply different settings to templates, processes, files, or other types of Customer Data. The deletion of Customer Data and other use of the Services by Customer may result in the deletion and/or de-identification of certain associated Other Information. Project Delivery System may retain Other Information pertaining to you for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This may include keeping your Other Information after you have deactivated your account for the period needed for Project Delivery System to pursue legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
