Privacy Policy
Effective: 21 September 2020
1. Introduction
We practice privacy and security by design.
Please read our full document below to understand details between where we are a Data Controller (your Type W account data, company information etc.) and where we are a Data Processor (when we process your data through our systems into Google Data Studio and Google BigQuery).
2. Privacy and security as data processor
This section summarizes our commitments to you where we are a Data Processor (when we process your data through our systems into Google Data Studio and Google BigQuery).
- Our staff is trained regularly on handling data and our systems are monitored constantly. Our staff have access as needed. For any data we process, your data is extremely restricted and we will only access it at your written request or in the case where we need to debug and solve problems.
- We do not share the data you process with us with any party.
- In some cases you may be given the option and/or have chosen the option to have your data processed in specific region(s) or in specific data center(s). In such cases we will give you the guarantee such processing will happen in the specified manner and any changes will be communicated to you.
- Data transfers are done using SSL encrypted HTTPS connections.
- For logging into most of the data sources, our tools use OAuth. This is a secure authentication method, which means that you never have to type your password into our tools, as the authentication happens on a webpage hosted by the data source.
- Our data processing and storage happens in monitored and highly scalable, best-in-class data centers managed by Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.
- Our security is audited annually by an external third party.
