RETRIUM PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date:  4/11/21

This Privacy Policy describes Retrium's practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of the information we collect from and about you when you use the Services. We take our obligations regarding your privacy seriously and have made every effort to draft this Privacy Policy in a manner that is clear and easy for you to understand. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy.  This Privacy Policy is incorporated in our Terms of Use (“Terms”) and any capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning assigned in the Terms.

As used in this Privacy Policy, the term “Personal Information” means information that identifies an individual, household, or place of business directly or indirectly, by reference to identifier(s) such as  name, identification number, location data, online identifier or one or more factors specific to an individual’s physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, educational, commercial, professional or social identity.  Personal Information does not include information that has been anonymized such that it does not allow for the ready identification a specific individual.


Information We Collect

  1. Information You Provide To Us.  If you choose to use our Services including creating a Retrium account, we may collect Personal Information as described in this section including, but not limited to, your name and email address. We collect information that individuals knowingly and voluntarily provide when using our Service (such as through web forms or profile screens).  Retrium collects and stores Personal Data provided to us by our users as part of the Services.  We may also automatically use your email address to find a publicly available profile photo using services like Gravatar. 


  1. Personal Data Related to Payments.  For certain Services (i.e., our Team Edition subscription), we will utilize a third party credit card payment processing company to collect payment information, including your credit card number, billing address and phone number. We will share this payment information with the third party processing company as detailed below in "Who May Access Your Personal Data." We do not store your payment information.


  1. Your Content.  Your use of the Service will involve you uploading or inputting various content into the Service. Such content may include Personal Information or other sensitive information that you choose to include.
    We may, from time to time, collect other data that you voluntarily submit to our website through your participation in surveys, contests, promotions, sweepstakes, activities, events, customer support requests, and communications with us through our site or through third party social media.

Retrium may view your Content only as necessary (i) to maintain, provide and improve the Service; (ii) to resolve a support request from you; (iii) if we have a good faith belief, or have received a complaint alleging, that such Content is in violation of our Terms of Use or Subscription Agreement; (iv) as reasonably necessary to allow Retrium to comply with or avoid the violation of applicable law or regulation; or (v) to comply with a valid legal subpoena or request.

  1. Information Collected Via Technology.   We automatically collect certain information via technology:
  • Log Files. When you use the Service, our servers automatically record certain non-personally-identifying information on server logs, such as your web request, the browser type, language preference, referring site, Internet protocol ("IP") address, exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, mobile carrier, date and time stamp information and other such information. Retrium's purpose in collecting non-personal  information is to better understand how Retrium's visitors use its website and to help us improve the Service.
  • Location Information. We may collect and process information about the location of the device from which you are accessing the Service. Location data may convey information about how you browse the Service and may be used in conjunction with personally identifiable information. You can disable location based services in settings associated with the Service; however please be aware that some features of the Service may not function properly if location services are turned off.
  • Cookies. Retrium uses cookies, pixel tags and web beacons to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of the Retrium website, and their website access preferences. Retrium visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Retrium's website, with the drawback that certain features of Retrium's website may not function properly without the aid of cookies. We do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information about online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services as there is no consistent industry standard for compliance.  For more information about our specific use of cookies, please reference our Cookie Policy which is incorporated herein by reference. 
  • Information from third party services. Retrium also obtains information from third parties and combines that with information we collect. Retrium may have access to certain information from a third party social media or authentication service if you log into Retrium through the service or otherwise provide us with access to information from that service. Retrium will never access more information from the third party service than is required in order to perform the relevant function. For example, in order to authenticate a user using Google Apps, Retrium will only access the user’s email address and basic profile information. By authorizing us to connect with a third party service, you authorize us to access the information that the third party service makes available to us, and to use and disclose it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You should check your privacy settings on these third party services to understand and change the information sent to us through these services.

  1. Statistics and Analytics.  We collect analytics information when you use our website to help us improve our product. The analytics information we collect includes elements of content related to the function you are performing. For example, we record information related to the retrospectives you run, including but not limited to the system-generated identifier of the retrospective and the name of the technique used.

As of the Effective Date this Privacy Policy, we use Google Analytics as an analytics provider. To learn more about the privacy policy of Google Analytics, refer to Google's Policies and Principles. Use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent analytics information from being sent to Google Analytics.

Analytics information also consists of data we collect as a result of running queries against content across our user base for the purposes of generating Anonymous Usage Data. "Anonymous Usage Data" is aggregated data about a group or category of services, features or users that does not contain Personal Information. For example, we may run queries to determine the most common retrospective techniques that users use. We primarily use this Anonymous Usage Data to analyze request and usage patterns so that we may provide, maintain, protect and enhance our products and services, though we reserve the right to use Anonymous Usage Data for any purpose and disclose Anonymous Usage Data to third parties in our sole discretion.

Though we may happen upon sensitive or Personal Information as we compile Anonymous Usage Data, this is a byproduct of our efforts to understand broader patterns and trends. It is not a concerted effort by us to examine the content of any particular customer or user.

‍Retrium will not rent or sell your Personal Information to anyone. Retrium will not share your Personal Information with third parties without your consent other than as follows:
