Privacy Policy - ��911 DevOps

Effective Date: February 24, 2023

‍

Quick Summary

Thanks for entrusting ��911 with your projects, and your personal data. This Privacy Statement explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your data, including any personal data we collect and process in connection with our website and any applications, software, products, and services provided by ��911.

‍

1. Purpose and Scope.

‍

��911 is committed to your privacy. We have created this ��911 Privacy Policy (“Policy”) to inform you about the ways in which we handle personal data and information in our business. This Policy applies to ��911 Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including ��911 Limited and ��911 Netherlands B.V. (collectively referred to as “��911”) and covers the services we provide to you, our sales and marketing activities, and related activities. We refer to personal data and information in this Policy as “personal data”. We refer to our products and services in this Policy collectively as the “Services”. This Policy applies to the Services and to related activities such as those described below:

Managing your account and relationship we have with you as a ��911 customer;

Direct sales, advertising and marketing activities that we may provide to you;

Sales and marketing activities from our authorized partners, including ��911 resellers, platform partners, distributors, and third-party marketplaces;

Your participation in a ��911 training or certification programs;

Your attendance or participation in ��911 or partner events;

Providing our Services and products to you as a Customer;

Your visits and use of our websites.

‍

2. ��911 can be both a processor and a controller of personal data.

‍

Under the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (the “GDPR”) and other similar data protection laws, we may either be defined as a controller or a processor of personal data. When ��911 provides its Services to you and personal data is involved, ��911 generally acts as a “processor” of personal data, because ��911 processes the personal data as part of the Service and at your direction. When acting as processor, ��911 handles your personal data solely on your instructions, unless legally required to do otherwise. Under different circumstances, such as our direct marketing activities, ��911 is considered a “controller” of your personal data if ��911 determines how that data will be handled.

‍

3. Categories of personal data and Information that we collect.

‍

We may collect, store, and use personal data in the following categories:

Contact information such as name, email address, phone number, title, professional details, and employer’s name.

Information about our users’ experiences with products, services, events, webinars, promotions, and online forums and communities.

Contact information derived from your interactions with us, such as with our customer support team.
Contact Information about prospective customers collected from our events, promotions, trade shows, and partners.

Payment information for purchases with ��911.

Audio and visual information, such recordings of some calls, meetings and events.

Additional details about certification candidates.

Other personal data collected in connection with our Services.

4. How we collect personal data.

‍

As it relates to the Services, personal data may be obtained directly from you or your employer. We also may receive personal data from our partners (which include resellers and distributors); third-party marketplaces where our products are offered (such as the salesforce.com app exchange); data brokers (such as Dun & Bradstreet); marketing companies; interactions with our website; referrals from other customers and users; publicly available sources such as company websites and LinkedIn. ��911 collects certain categories of personal data when you visit our website.

‍‍

5. How we use and share personal data.

‍

��911 uses and shares personal data for the following purposes:

To analyze, improve, and develop ��911 products and Services.

To provide our products, Services, events, websites, communities, training, and other business offerings.

To process payments.

To manage our relationships with customers, partners, resellers, distributors, event attendees, investors, and others (which may involve sharing personal data with them).

For marketing, promotions, advertising, and other communications (including customizing those communications for specific recipients).

To provide a third party (such as an employer) with confirmation or denial of an individual’s claimed certification status.

For surveys and other market research.

For security, IT management, and related research.

For evaluation and consideration of job applicants.

To enforce the legal terms that govern our business and commercial relationships (for example, we may share personal information with the opposing party, judge or arbitrator in a dispute).

To provide security and business continuity.

To follow the law, or in other cases where we believe that using or disclosing the data is appropriate to protect the rights, safety, and property of ��911 or others (for example, when required to make disclosures in response to lawful requests by public authorities, such as to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).

For an actual or contemplated business sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, or reorganization, or due diligence in anticipation of such an event (for example, if a company were to acquire ��911, it may also acquire the personal data we hold).

For other purposes requested or permitted by our customers or users.

For those purposes, we may share personal data with the following categories of third parties, for example:

Our affiliated entities;

Third parties that assist us, such as our partners, event providers, payment processors, marketing providers, testing providers, analytics providers, providers of technical services (e.g., providers of data storage, data backup, and CRM systems), and other vendors or subcontractors;

Joint marketing partners;

Employers and others who seek verification of an individual’s claimed certification status;\

Entities involved in dispute resolution (such as an arbitrator or an opposing party);

Entities involved in potential or actual significant corporate transactions or events (such as those described in the second-to-last item in the list of uses and disclosures above); and

Governmental entities.

‍

These uses and disclosures are also subject to our contractual obligations. ��911 does not sell or share personal data for monetary or other consideration, nor does ��911 share data for cross-context behavioral advertising.

‍

6. What is the legal basis that applies to our use of personal data?

‍

The laws in some jurisdictions require data controllers to tell you about the legal grounds that allow them to use or disclose your personal data. Where those laws apply, our legal grounds are:

Legitimate Business Interests: We handle personal data because it furthers the legitimate business interests of ��911 (or of our customers, business partners, or suppliers) in the activities we engage in to run our business and provide you with Services, including those listed below, and because that handling of data does not unduly impact your interests, rights, and freedoms:

Providing cybersecurity and managing information technology assets;

Protecting business activities, individuals, and property;

Providing customer service;

Assessing employment candidates;

Marketing and advertising (including sending certain direct marketing);

Analyzing and improving business activities;

Managing risks and legal issues.

To perform contractual commitments: Some of our handling of personal data is necessary to meet our contractual obligations to individuals, or to take steps at the person’s request because we are planning to enter into a contract with him/her. For example, when we process an individual’s payment data for a certification examination, we are relying on this basis.

Consent:

If the law requires consent, and in some other cases, we handle personal data on the basis of consent. For example, we conduct some of our direct marketing on the basis of consent.

If the law requires explicit consent, we use personal data on that basis.

If the law allows, we may be able to infer consent from the circumstances.

Legal compliance: We sometimes need to use and disclose personal data to comply with our legal obligations.

Legal claims: Sometimes we use or disclose personal data because it is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

‍

7. What Personal Data rights and choices (including direct marketing opt-out) are available?

‍

We offer the options below for exercising your rights and choices about how we use your personal data. Many of these are subject to important limits or exceptions under applicable laws.

You may review and update certain information by logging into the relevant ��911 websites or online services.

The law of your jurisdiction (for example, within the United Kingdom, Switzerland and European Economic Area (“EU”)) may give you additional rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal data we store. In some cases, you may be entitled to receive a copy of the personal data you provided to us in portable form or to request that we share it with a third party. The law may also give you the right to request restrictions on the use of your personal data, to object to our use of your personal data, or to withdraw your consent to use your personal data (which will not affect the legality of any processing that happened before your request takes effect). Section 15 below explains how to make these requests.

For example, people who live in the United Kingdom or EU (and certain other people) have the right to opt out of our use of personal data for direct marketing. They can exercise their rights to opt out, or to object to other processing, by contacting us as described below.

If you are located in the United Kingdom, EU or Switzerland and you have a data privacy or data use concern that you feel has not been fully addressed, you have the right to contact the relevant UK or EU data protection authority or the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, as applicable.

Our marketing email messages, and certain other communications include instructions about how to unsubscribe, which you can use to limit or stop those communications. Opt-out processes may take some time to complete, but we will work to meet your request as quickly as possible. You cannot opt out of certain communications (such as account related or billing related communications.)

You can exercise opt-out rights, object, or withdraw consent in relation to our use of certain cookies and certain similar technologies as described in Section 9 below.

‍

8. Does the personal data go to other countries?

‍

��911 is a global company. It is ��911’s policy to comply with applicable law, which may include legal requirements for protecting the movement of data across borders, including through the use of European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses. ��911 affiliates and third parties with whom we share personal data as described in this Privacy Policy are located in the United States and elsewhere in the world, including countries where privacy laws may not provide as much protection as your country.
