We do not process your Personal Data if your rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests.

We may also process your Personal Data when we are required or permitted to by law; to comply with government inspection, audits, and other valid requests from government or other public authorities; to respond to legal process such as subpoenas; or as necessary for us to protect our interests or otherwise pursue our legal rights and remedies (for instance, when necessary to prevent or detect fraud, attacks against our network, or other criminal and tortious activities), defend litigation, and manage complaints or claims.

After the data removal, we may keep pseudonyms of your Personal Data solely for a record about the data removal.

Our steps to be secure

We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your Personal Data against unauthorized access, destruction, or alteration. All data is securely encrypted with the most advanced encryption methods; connection to external web resources is protected by TSL encryption.

We host our public and internal IT-infrastructure on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure Services, and Microsoft 365. These are well-known companies which have high-level data security practices. You can find more details about their security practices at https://aws.amazon.com/security/ and https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/trust-center/product-overview.

Also, we use only PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment processors to ensure the security of your payment information. You can find more information on security practices for Verifone Payments B.V. (Netherlands) at https://www.2checkout.com/certificates-and-awards/.

Your role in data safety

The safety and security of your Personal Data also depend on you. Whether we have given you or you have chosen a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you to never share your password with anyone.

  • description of the likely consequences of the Personal Data breach
  • description of the measures taken or proposed to be taken by you to address the Personal Data breach including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects

International Personal Data transfers

Whenever possible, we will try to use processors which process Personal Data within the European Economic Area ("EEA"). In case there is a need for us to use processors located outside of the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland ("European Countries"), we will only disclose Personal Data to them provided that appropriate international data transfer safeguards described in the GDPR are in place.

We may transfer the information you have provided to us outside the European Countries, but only to the United States of America. Such transfer will rely on the mechanisms provided in the GDPR that allow the transfer of Personal Data outside the European Countries, including standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that you are agreeing to the transfer and processing of your Personal Data in European Countries and the United States of America. By providing your Personal Data, you consent to any transfer and processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you have further questions about international data transfers that we make, you can contact our Privacy Team (privacy@ablebits.com).

Your rights regarding your Personal Data

Under applicable data protection laws, you have the following rights with regard to our processing of your Personal Data.

  • Access and update. You may notify us about any changes or errors in any Personal Data we have about you to ensure that it is complete, accurate, and as current as possible. We may also not be able to accommodate your request if we believe it would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
  • Restrictions. You have the right to restrict our processing of your Personal Data under certain circumstances. In particular, you can request that we restrict our use of your Personal Data if you contest its accuracy, if the processing of your Personal Data is determined to be unlawful, or if we no longer need your Personal Data for processing, but we have retained it as permitted by law.
  • Portability. In relation to Personal Data that you provide to us based on your consent or in order to perform a contract, you have the right to request that we provide you with a copy of, or access to, all or part of such Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
  • Withdrawal of consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Data at any time by sending a request through the contact information below. Withdrawing your consent will not, however, affect the lawfulness of our processing of your Personal Data based on your consent before its withdrawal or on any other lawful basis.
  • Right to be forgotten. You have the right to request that we delete all of your Personal Data. We cannot delete your Personal Data except by also deleting your user account and revoking your licenses, and we will only delete your account when we no longer have a lawful basis for processing your Personal Data or after a final determination that your Personal Data was unlawfully processed. We may not accommodate a request to erase information if we believe the deletion would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect. In all other cases, we will retain your Personal Data as set forth in this Policy. In addition, we cannot completely delete your Personal Data as some data may rest in previous backups. This data will be retained for the periods set forth in our disaster recovery policies.
  • Complaints. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority ("Supervisor") in the country you live in, the country you work in, or the country where you believe your rights under applicable data protection laws have been violated. However, before doing so, we request that you contact us directly in order to give us an opportunity to resolve any concerns about your privacy. A list of Supervisors is available here:

Requests under this section can be made through Data Subject Request Form (https://www.ablebits.com/support/data-protection-form.php). We will respond in the timeframes required under applicable law. Our team may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. We reserve the right to limit or deny your request if you have failed to provide sufficient information to verify your identity or to satisfy our legal and business requirements.

Children's privacy

Our Services are not designed or intended for persons under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their minor child (as defined by the applicable privacy rules or regulations pertaining to the minor child) has provided us with Personal Data without their consent, they should contact us. We will delete such Personal Data from our files within a commercially reasonable time, but no later than required under the applicable law relating to the child's state and/or country of residence.

California privacy rights

This section provides additional details about the personal information we collect about California consumers and the rights afforded to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA").

For more details about the personal information we have collected over the past 12 months, please see the What information we collect section. We collect this information for the business and commercial purposes described in the How and why we use your Personal Data section. We share this information with the categories of third parties described in the Information we receive from others or shared or disclosed section.

Under the CCPA, you have the following rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you:

  • right to be informed
  • right to request deletion
  • right to opt out
  • right to disclosure
  • right to equal services and prices (non-discrimination)

We are committed to exercising your privacy rights, including the rights granted to you under the CCPA.

In accordance with the CCPA's requirements, we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. You may make a request pursuant to your rights under the CCPA by contacting us via email (privacy@ablebits.com) or by mail using the contact details set out below. We will verify your request using the information associated with your user account, including the email address. Californian consumers can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on their behalf.

You may request to opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties. The CCPA defines a sale very broadly and this includes communicating personal information to another business or a third party for non-financial gain. We will never sell your data for profit, however, where we transfer it to our partners for things like displaying personalized ads to you or to deliver improvements to our service, these uses fall within the broad definition of a "sale" under CCPA. We only engage in this kind of data transfer where we believe it benefits you by providing you with a better experience, quality of service or to deliver content that you may be interested in.

You can opt out from any practice that may lead to the sale of your Personal Data at any time. You can also contact us via email (privacy@ablebits.com) or by mail using the contact details set out below.

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat your Personal Data, we may also notify you by email to the email address specified in your account and through a notice on Services. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you and for periodically visiting our Services and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.

Annex 2: Microsoft 365 Permissions for Services

Introduction

This document is designed to assist you in understanding how and why we request your permissions for part of our features in Shared Email Templates ("Services").

For basic features in our Services, we do not need permissions from you. However, when you use our Services in all power, we need your permissions for integration of our Services with your Microsoft account.

What are permissions?

To access a protected resource like email or calendar data in mailbox, our Services need the resource owner's authorization. You as resource owner can consent to or deny our Services request. You can change granted permissions at any time.

The permissions mechanism base on Microsoft identity platform provides flexible and secured implementation of access to your data from our Services while leaving you with full control.

Which Microsoft 365 permissions do we request?

We only use permissions for the following purposes:

  • View users' basic profile
    We use this permission to read your name, email address, picture, and other properties of your personal Microsoft account or your Work or School account when inserting a Template into the currently composed message.
  • Read user mail
    We use this permission to read the content of the currently composed message from your personal mailbox.

    We do not read other messages than the currently composed message.

  • Edit or delete items in all site collections
    We use this permission to upload Template attachments to your SharePoint sites.

    We do not edit, delete, or read the content of your files and we use this permission only for the above stated purpose.

  • Read user and shared mail
    We use this permission to read the content of the currently composed message from your personal or shared mailbox.

    We do not read other messages than the currently composed message in your personal or shared mailbox.

  • Sign in and read user profile
    We use this permission to read your name, email address, picture, and other properties of your personal Microsoft account or your Work or School account when inserting a Template into the currently composed message.
  • Have full access to all files user can access
    We use this permission to attach files from your OneDrive when inserting a Template into the currently composed message.
  • Sign users in
    We use this permission to provide the sign-in with Microsoft features.
  • Maintain access to data you have given it access to
    Allows Services to send the scheduled mail merge campaign messages even if you are logged out from your account and have switched off all the devices.
  • Send mail as you
    Allows Services to send the mail merge campaign messages from your mailbox.
  • Send mail on behalf of others or yourself
    Allows Services to send the mail merge campaign messages on behalf of the specified mailbox.

    We do not use the content of your mailbox, OneDrive or SharePoint files other than the attachments you use in your mail merge campaign.

Third-party service

One of the permissions shows that Services can send data to a third-party service. The only third party that can access your data is Microsoft itself as our Services are built on Microsoft 365 extensibility technology and your Outlook account should be connected to Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, or Outlook.com.

A remark about Add-in Express

Initially, Services were developed by Add-in Express but now these Services belong to and are managed by Ablebits.com.
