Skip to the CCPA Addendum

Maintaining the trust of our customers and providing an exceptional customer experience are Devo’s top priorities. We believe in respecting the personal privacy of our customers and simply doing what is right.

Overview and Statement Regarding GDPR. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect as of May 25, 2018. The GDPR applies to any companies that collect, use or process personal data of anyone in the European Union (EU). It is designed to strengthen the protection of personal data by requiring companies to adhere to certain security and transparency standards. At Devo, Inc. (“Devo”, “we” or “us”) we are committed to safeguarding your personal information through our compliance with this Privacy Policy. Devo is furthermore firmly committed to GDPR compliance. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect about visitors to our web site and users of our products and services (collectively our “Products”) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

We have drafted this Privacy Policy to be as clear and concise as possible. Please read it carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. By accessing or using this website or using our Products, you agree to this privacy policy.

Our website and our Products may contain applications and content by third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such applications and third-party content. We encourage you to review the data privacy terms of any third party providers you engage with.

Information You Share With Us.  If you communicate directly with Devo, Devo may collect and store personally identifying information that you share with us, including, but not limited to, your name, a home, business, or other address, billing address, phone number, and email address, as well as other information that may be needed to provide a service or information you requested. You may have provided or provide such information (i) through forms you fill out on our website or through your correspondence with us, (ii) if you have requested support from us, (iii) through our blogs, webinars or social media channels or (iv) if you are participating in a survey, contest or other promotional event we may offer from time to time.

Devo may use your information to respond to your concerns and inquiries. The information you provide to Devo’s third party partners will also enable such partners to let us know that you have contacted them. Such communication information may be used to distribute information back to you about Devo. Our web site contains links to other web sites, but Devo does not share your personal information with those web sites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of such third party partners you communicate with.

Information We Collect From You. As you navigate through and interact with our website, or use our Products, we may use common data collection technologies to collect certain statistical or aggregate non-personal information. In particular, our Products may report telemetry data back to us. Such information may include data about your network, including traffic data, location data, logs and other communication data, devices, internet connection, browser type, internet service provider and operating system. We process and analyze this information in order to build, run and continue to improve our Products and in order to better understand our customers’ needs and to provide you with the best experience possible when you visit our website and use our Products. The information we collect through these tracking tools is statistical in nature, but may be aggregated with personal information in order to help us to deliver a more personalized website and Product, including by enabling us to estimate our audience size and use patterns, store information about your preferences to allow us to customize our website in accordance with your individual interests, speed up your searches and to recognize you when you return to our website. The Product provides you with the opportunity to opt out of the reporting of telemetry or other data back to us. Please contact us if you wish to opt out. Note, that some functionality may be limited if you decide to opt out of the reporting of telemetry data.

The processes we use for automated data collection may include:

Cookies. Cookies are small data files that certain web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them, and they record and store your information. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. The Devo web site may use cookies to collect this type of information to determine the usefulness of our web site information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.

Web Beacons. Web beacons also known as pixel tags are electronic images, contained on a website that permit us to count users who have visited those pages and for other related website statistics. Web beacons are not used to access your personal information on the Website and are only used to compile aggregated statistics concerning use of the Website.

Web Analytics. We also collect some non-personally identifiable information (ourselves or using third party services) using web analytic tools. We use third-party services that use tracking technologies to capture aggregate usage and volume statistics about online activities over time and across our and third party websites and other online services.

Third Party Advertising Technologies. In addition, we may use third party vendors such as Google or others to perform display advertising or remarketing services on our website. These services collect and use data which can help us tailor advertising that we think may be of interest to you, based on your use of our website and/or Products. Third-party vendors may use or place cookies and web beacons on your web browsers to collect non-personal information about your activities on our Website and to provide you with targeted ads. The information they collect may also be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. We do not control these tracking technologies of third parties or how such third parties may use them.

As always, we respect your privacy and do not collect any personally identifiable information through the use of Google or any other third party services. Any information collected is used only for remarketing purposes and will not be used by third-party marketing vendors for any other purpose. To opt out of Remarketing and Advertising, Click Here. To find out more about how Google uses any data it collects please visit here. You may also opt-out of third-party advertisement networks, including those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). If you have any questions regarding this practice by NAI members and DAA members, and how to opt-out of third-party ad networks operated by NAI and DAA members, please visit their respective websites or contact the third-party provider directly.

Please note this does not opt you out of being served any advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.

If you are using our Product, we may from time to time send you certain communications such as service announcements or administrative messages. Such communications are part of the functionality of our Product. You can therefore not opt-out of receiving such Product communications.

How We Retain Your Information. Devo may retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill our business purposes as outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless applicable law requires us to retain it longer, or if applicable law does not prohibit longer retention. We also keep records of your data requests to implement your choices and for auditing purposes, including requests to opt out of marketing communications.

Information sharing and disclosure. Devo may disclose aggregated anonymous information about our users and visitors to our website without restriction, to the extent such data does not identify any individual. Devo does not share, rent, lease or sell personal information to others, except as specifically described in this Privacy Policy. Devo may send your personal information to other companies or people under any of the following circumstances: (i) to our subsidiaries and affiliated companies; (ii) to Devo’s authorized partners and resellers to fulfil any terms under your licensing relationship with us and to provide you with technical and customer support – these third parties are subject to confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using the information for their own purposes; (iii) when we have your consent to share the information; (iv) to a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization or other sale or transfer of some or all of Devo’s assets; (v) if we want to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, software updates, special offers or other information we think you would like to hear about; (vi) to apply or enforce our license agreement, terms of use and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes.

Devo reserves the right to disclose your personally identifiable information if required to do so by law, court order or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request or in the good-faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with legal process, (b) respond to any claims against Devo, or (c) to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Devo, its employees, its customers or the public – this includes exchanging information with companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud detection and credit risk reduction.

Minors under 13 Devo does not intend to collect information from individuals who identify themselves as under thirteen (13) years of age. No one under the age of 13 may provide any personal information to or on the website or our Products. Devo does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 or send them requests for personal information. Devo will not knowingly disclose personally identifiable information of children under thirteen to any third party. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information. We are excited about our Products and would like to tell you about updates and new features from time to time. In case you prefer not to receive such information from us or from third party partners we work with, we strive to give you choices regarding whether or not you are contacted with direct marketing or market research information from us. If you have provided personally identifiable information to Devo, we will provide you with an opportunity to limit promotional email communications from Devo or authorized partners of Devo by “opting-out” of receiving direct marketing or market research information. When applicable, we will provide you with the opportunity to “opt in.” This means we will require your affirmative action to indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes other than the purpose for which it was submitted.

Upon request, Devo will confirm to you whether it stores any personal data about you and what that data is. You may also send us an email to [email protected] to request access to, correct or delete any personal information you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or regulatory requirement, cause the information to be incorrect or impose an undue hardship on us due to technical requirements. If you request that we delete your account, we will do so within a reasonable time. We may however be required to retain some personal information in accordance with legal or regulatory requirements.

Data Security. We have implemented industry-standard safeguards designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Any personal information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our website or in our Product, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

Transferring Your Data. Devo may store or process your personal information in any country where we, our affiliates, or our third party service providers conduct business or host events, including countries where you may not reside. As such, different laws may apply. However, we implement safeguards to ensure that your data is always protected, and you can always exercise your rights as defined by this Privacy Policy and relevant laws. To give you further protection, we require our service providers to agree to appropriate terms and clauses to protect your personal information.

Your California Privacy Rights. California Civil Code Section § 1798.83 permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year. To make such a request, please send an e-mail to [email protected].

Changes to this privacy policy Devo may choose to amend this policy at any time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information, we will post a notice on this web site informing you of the changes made. Your continued use of our website or our products or services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

ADDENDUM: PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California. We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Notice.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) applies to most companies who collect information of Californian residents. It is designed to give consumers information regarding how companies collect and use information, as well as give consumers control over the sale of their information. Similar to our commitment to the GDPR, we at Devo are committed to transparency in data collection and disclosure through our compliance with this Privacy Policy. Additionally, we are committed to giving people control over the use of their data where possible. We are firmly committed to CCPA compliance and compliance with future data protection laws.

This Notice does not apply to employment-related personal information collected from our California-based employees, job applicants, contractors, or similar individuals.

Where noted in this Notice, the CCPA temporarily exempts personal information reflecting a written or verbal business-to-business communication (“B2B personal information”) from some its requirements.

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Sharing Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to a third party, such as service providers, for a business purpose. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter into a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract. The CCPA prohibits third parties who purchase the personal information we hold from reselling it unless you have received explicit notice and an opportunity to opt-out of further sales.

We disclose your personal information for business purposes as needed with marketing and sales tools we use.

If you are a customer, we may share more information as specified in our Terms of Service and any contract between us and you or your employer as necessary to carry out our contractual obligations with you.

Sales of Personal Information

We do not sell, do not plan to sell, and have not sold in the past 12 months, your information as defined by the CCPA. If we do plan to sell information, you will be notified before the sale and given an opportunity to opt out.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
  • If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
  • sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
  • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

We do not provide these access and data portability rights for B2B personal information.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information we have collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by emailing us at [email protected].

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.

The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
Other California Privacy Rights

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to [email protected].
