PRIVACY AND DATA SECURITY STATEMENT
Thank you for visiting doForm’s online and mobile resources,and for viewing this privacy and data security statement. Our privacy statement, contained in the pages that follow, serves to give notice about the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with and why, and what we do to try to protect it. We delve into those matters in a fair amount of detail in the pages that follow. We encourage you to read them carefully. In the meantime, we provide a quick overview below.
| Summary of how we handle Personal Information | |
| What do we collect? We collect and retain certain personal information from a variety of different data subjects. Our privacy statement applies mostly to those who visit and use our online and mobile resources, from whom we collect very little information unless it is voluntarily submitted to us. You can read here to learn about the categories of personal information we collect from all four groups of data subjects. | Why do we use it? We use personal information received from visitors and users of our online and mobile resources to communicate directly with them. We provide further detail about our use of personal information here. |
| When do we share it? We share personal information when needed to fulfill our legal obligations and when our vendors and business partners need it to perform under the contracts we have with them. We provide further detail about our sharing of personal information here. We do not sell or rent any personal information from any group of data subjects to third party data brokers or marketing companies. | How do we protect it? We’ve invested in a Security Program that addresses both technical and operational matters. Our program includes incident response and management and vendor oversight components. You can read about those components here and here. |
| Your Privacy Choices and Rights You do not have to provide personal information to enjoy most of the features of our online and mobile resources. Moreover, you can opt out of certain activities like newsletters and announcements. You can learn more about that here. | |

Changes To This Privacy Statement
SOME IMPORTANT VOCABULARY
Although not itself a contract, this privacy statement is an important document that explains how we address some of our legal obligations, and your related legal rights, involving personal information. Clarity is therefore important. We’ll use this section to let you know about some words that have special meanings whenever you see them in this statement. Let’s start with the word “statement” itself: when we reference “this statement”, “this privacy statement” and “our statement”, we mean the Privacy and Data Security Statement you are reading now. Wherever we say “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, we mean doForms Inc. When we use the word “controller” in the context of GDPR, we are referring to the local doForms entity, doForms Global S.A. When personal data is transferred to doForms, Inc., we describe this as an “independent successive controller” relationship, meaning doForms, Inc. acts as a separate controller that determines its own purposes and means of processing the data. We use the words “you” and “your” to mean you, the reader, and other visitors to our online and mobile resources who are, in all cases, over the age of 18. This age requirement is discussed in more detail later in this statement here. We also want to be very clear about exactly what parts of the Company corporate enterprise are covered by, and adhere to the policies and procedures explained in this statement.
When we talk about our “online and mobile resources”, we mean all websites, portals or other features we operate to allow you to interact with us and our systems, as well as the mobile apps we’ve created and distributed to let you interact with the content we provide. An “affinity action” is when you “follow” us, “like” us or take a similar or analogous action on our external social media presence. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, when we refer to “personal information”, we mean information that can be used to identify or easily be linked to you.
WHO DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM?
We collect personal information from four groups of data subjects:
- visitors to, and users of, our online and mobile resources
- current members of our workforce and those who apply for posted jobs
- our third party vendors and business partners
- our customers
The categories of information we collect from each of these groups, and the ways in which we use it, differs. As you may have noticed, it’s possible that the same person could fall into more than one group. For instance, someone who works for us might, on their day off, visit one of our general websites. Most of this statement addresses our processing and sharing of personal information collected from visitors to and users of our online and mobile resources. The immediately following paragraphs provide a quick summary overview about everyone else.
Our Customers
Typically, the categories of personal information collected from our customers will be contact details (including name, email, and phone number) as well as payment details (including credit card details). We use that information to provide customer support, secure authorization for account changes (where applicable), and process account billing payments. Our customers enter into contracts with us. That contract is separate from this statement and has its own terms and conditions for notice of collection of personal information and governing our overall confidentiality, data privacy and data security obligations. As a result, those terms, and not this statement, apply to the personal information of customers.
Our Workforce and Job Applicants
We collect and retain the types of professional or employment related personal information you would expect an employer to have about its existing and former workforce and new job applicants. We provide legally required notices of collection, and describe our use and sharing of the personal information of our workforce and applicants in greater detail in confidential internal human resource manuals and documents accessible to members of our workforce, or by publication on the proprietary workforce/applicant portals and apps we operate. In some cases, such portals and apps may be operated by third parties who transfer the personal information to us. In those situations, the legal responsibility to provide notice usually rests with the third party, not us.
Vendors and Business Partners
Like all large corporate enterprises, we buy goods and services, lease equipment and office space and attend industry events. In doing so, we interact with many existing and potential vendors and business partners from whom we necessarily collect certain personal information in connection with our contractual and business relationships. This information is typically limited to minimum business contact information. We use and share personal information collected from our vendors and business partners to manage, administer and perform under our contracts with them, or share information about our products. We describe our use of vendor and business partner personal information in greater detail in our confidential contracts with those parties or on the internal vendor management portals we operate.
Visitors and Users of our Online and Mobile Resources
If you visit and/or use our online and mobile resources, we collect, retain and share certain personal information about you. The remainder of this privacy statement applies entirely to such visitors and users of our online and mobile resources. Thus, the words “you” and “your” mean only that category of data subjects.
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
Generally, we collect personal information through automated/technical means and when you voluntarily provide it to us. We describe that automatic collection here. We describe that type of voluntary submission immediately below. By using our online and mobile resources, you are signifying to us that you agree with this section of our privacy statement and that we may use and disclose your information as described.
Voluntarily Submitted Information.
If you choose to participate in, or make use of certain activities and features available via our online and mobile resources, you will need to provide us with information about yourself. The types of personal information you will be submitting to us in those situations is almost always limited to basic identifiers such as your name, email address, mailing address and phone number. Here are some of the ways you voluntarily give us your personal information:
- Emails and Texts – If you choose to send us an email from our “contact us” link or a similar link, you will be giving us your email address and any other personal information that may be in your message or attached to it. The same is true if you send us a text message.
- Creating Accounts; Signing up for Newsletters – If we make an account creation feature available to the general public (that is, to visitors/users who are not our customers or workforce members) you will be giving us at least your email address and potentially other identifiers. The same is true if you sign up to receive a newsletter or other informational or marketing material we publish.
- Registering for Events – When you register for events, conferences or programs we ourselves may host (rather than outsource to a third party event manager with its own privacy policies), you will be submitting the types of identifiers described above. If the event requires a fee, we may also ask you to submit credit card or other financial information.
- Social Media and Community Features – Some ofour online and mobile resources may offer social media-like community features letting users post messages and comments, and/or upload image or other files and materials. If you choose to make use of these features, the information you post, including your screen name and any other personal information, will be in the public domain and not covered/protected by this statement.
- Customer Portals and Job Applicants – Some of our online and mobile resources are used to help us serve our customers and allow candidates to apply for available jobs. We discuss personal information submitted in those situations elsewhere in this statement such as here.
If you prefer we not receive the above-described personal information, please don’t submit it.This means you shouldn’t participate in the applicable activities on, or use the applicable features available from our online and mobile resources. Such participation and use is strictly your choice. By not participating, you may limit your ability to take full advantage of the online and mobile resources, but most of the content in our online and mobile resources will still be available to you.
Automatically Collected Information.
When you visit or use our online and mobile resources, basic information about your internet/electronic activity is automatically collected through your browser via tracking technologies, such as “cookies.” As just about everyone knows by now, cookies are small text files downloaded onto your computer or mobile device. Cookies allow us to collect your IP address and recognize your computer or mobile device and store some information about your preferences for using our online and mobile resources or past actions, such as:
- the type of browser and operating system you use
- the date and time and length of your visit
- the pages visited, graphics viewed and any documents downloaded
- links to other sites you accessed from our online and mobile resources or used to navigate to our online and mobile resources
Additional information about cookies and tracking technologies is available here.
If you access our online and mobile resources from a phone or other mobile device, the mobile services provider may transmit to us certain information such as uniquely identifiable mobile device information. That, in turn, allows us to collect mobile phone numbers and associate them with the mobile device identification information. Some mobile phone service providers also operate systems that pinpoint the physical location of devices and we may receive this geolocation data as well.
Finally, when you use our online and mobile resources, we may allow third party service providers to place their own cookies or similar technologies in order to engage in the same types of collection we describe above. For example, we use third party “web analytics” services such as those offered by Google Analytics. For more information on how Google specifically uses this data, go to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn more about how to opt out of Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
User Beware: External Sites, Apps, Links and Social Media.
We maintain a presence on one or more external social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. We may further allow the community features of our online and mobile resources to connect with, or be viewable from, that external social media presence. Similarly, our online and mobile resources may contain links to other websites or apps controlled by third parties.
We are not responsible for either the content on, or the privacy practices of, social media platforms, or any third party sites or apps to which we link. Those apps, sites and platforms are not controlled by us and therefore have their own privacy policies and terms of use. To be clear: neither this statement nor the terms of use appearing on or in any of our online and mobile resources apply to our social media presence or any third party sites or apps to which we may link. That means even if you take an affinity action on our specific social media presence, and identifiers about you are automatically collected and given to us as a result, that collection and transfer is governed by the privacy policies and other terms of the applicable social media platform and are not our responsibility. If you have questions about how those apps, sites and platforms collect and use personal information, you should carefully read their privacy policies and contact them using the information they provide.
HOW DO WE USE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT?
We use the personal information we collect only in the manner and through the means allowed by applicable law. That means we determine whether we have a lawful basis/legitimate business purpose to use your personal information before doing so. As stated in applicable law, such lawful bases/legitimate business purposes include receiving express consent, operating our business, performing a contract, and complying with a legal obligation. More specifically, we use the personal information of each group of data subjects as follows:
We use the automatically collected personal information described here to compile generic reports about popular pages/features of our online and mobile resources, and to see how users are accessing our online and mobile resources and in some cases (such as affinity actions) send materials to you. We use the personal information you voluntarily submitted, as described here, to respond back directly to you and/or send you the information you requested or about which you inquired. We also may use any such personal information you provide to customize our programs and newsletters to make them more relevant to you. We do not sell or rent personal information automatically collected by, or which you voluntarily provide when using our online and mobile resources.
We use and retain your personal information in accordance with applicable law and as long as necessary to carry out the purposes described above in accordance with our internal data retention procedures.
WHEN/WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We may share your personal information as described below. This sharing applies to the personal information of all four groups of data subjects.
Affiliates
We may share personal information with other corporate affiliates who will use such information in the same way as we can under this statement.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose personal information to government authorities, and to other third parties when compelled to do so by such government authorities, or at our discretion or otherwise as required or permitted by law, including responding to court orders and subpoenas.
To Prevent Harm
We also may disclose such information when we have reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, or harming or potentially harming other persons or property.
Business Sale/Purchase
If we, or any of our affiliates, sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets, equity interests or securities, or are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, divestiture, consolidation, or liquidation, personal information may be one of the transferred assets.
Vendors and Business Partners
We also share personal information with those of our vendors and business partners who need it to perform under the contracts we have with them. As part of our Security Program, we have adopted standards for those vendors and business partners who receive personal information from us. We attempt to bind such vendors and business partners to those standards via written contracts. Such standards include expectations that when we share personal information with our vendors and business partners, they will comply with all applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations and our Security Program, and will contractually require and cause their subcontractors and agents to do the same.
- For any personal information our vendors and business partners process or store at their own locations, we further expect them to use technology infrastructure meeting, at least at the facilities level, minimum recognized standards for security controls. Such recognized standardsinclude those published by the International Standards Organization, the National Institute of Standards and Technology or any reasonably equivalent standards.
- Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee that all of our vendors and business partners will agree to the above-described contractual requirements; nor can we ensure that, even when they do agree, they will always fully comply.
HOW DO WE PROTECT COLLECTED PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We have adopted, implemented and maintain an enterprise-wide corporate information security and privacy program that includes technical, organizational, administrative, and other security measures designed to protect, as required by applicable law, against reasonably anticipated or actual threats to the security of your personal information (the “Security Program”). Our Security Program was created by reference to widely recognized industry standards such as those published by the International Standards Organization and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It includes, among many other things, procedures for assessing the need for, and as appropriate, either employing encryption and multi-factor authentication or using equivalent compensating controls. We therefore have every reason to believe our Security Program is reasonable and appropriate for our business and the nature of foreseeable risks to the personal information we collect. We further periodically review and update our Security Program, including as required by applicable law.
Our Incident Response and Management Plan
Despite the significant investment we’ve made in, and our commitment to, the Security Program including enforcement of our third party oversight procedures, we cannot guarantee that your personal information, whether during transmission or while stored on our systems, otherwise in our care, or the care of our vendors and business partners, will be free from either failed or successful attempts at unauthorized access or that loss or accidental destruction will never occur. Except for our duty under applicable law to maintain the Security Program, we necessarily disclaim, to the maximum extent the law allows, any other liability for any such theft or loss of, unauthorized access or damage to, or interception of any data or communications including personal information.
- All that said, as part of our Security Program, we have specific incident response and management procedures that are activated whenever we become aware that your personal information was likely to have been compromised. Those procedures include mechanisms to provide, when circumstances and/or our legal obligations warrant, notice to all affected data subjects within the timeframes required by law, as well as to give them such other mitigation and protection services (such as the credit monitoring and ID theft insurance) as may be required by applicable law. We further require, as part of our vendor and business partner oversight procedures, that such parties notify us immediately if they have any reason to believe that an incident adversely affecting personal information we provided to them has occurred.
If we are using your personal information to send you marketing materials, such as newsletters or product alerts via text or email, you may opt out by following the opt-out instructions in the email or other communication (e.g., by responding to the text with “STOP”). In addition, certain of our online and mobile resources will provide a centralized opt-out link allowing you to opt out of any programs in which you may have enrolled using that particular online and mobile resource. When we receive your request, we will take reasonable steps to remove your name from our distribution lists, but it may take time to do so. You may still receive materials for a period of time after you opt out. In addition to opting out, you have the ability to access, amend and delete your personal information by contacting us using the contact information below. Opting out of or changing affinity actions or other submissions or requests made on our external social media presence, will likely require that you do so directly on that applicable platform as we do not control their procedures.
Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not specifically respond to browser “do not track” signals.
Federal law imposes special restrictions and obligations on commercial website operators who direct their operations toward, and collect and use information from children under the age of 13. We take those age-related requirements very seriously, and, consistent with them, do not intend for our online and mobile resources to be used by children under the age of 18, and certainly not by anyone under the age of 13. Moreover, we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 18. If we become aware that anyone under the age of 18 has submitted personal information to us via our online and mobile resources, we will delete that information and not use it for any purpose whatsoever. We encourage parents and legal guardians to talk with their children about the potential risks of providing personal information over the Internet.
THE EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION
If you’re visiting our website from the European Union, this section applies to your personal data.
When we collect personal information from individuals located in the European Union (“EU”), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom (“UK”), those individuals have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). This section of our statement is used to allow us to fulfill our GDPR obligations as an Established Processor and explain your GDPR rights. For purposes of this section, the words “you” and “your” mean only such individuals located in the EU, Switzerland, or the UK.
To the extent relevant under GDPR as applied to your personal data, doForms, Inc. and its local subsidiary, doForms Global S.L., are independent successive controllers with respect to all processing of your personal data.
Our Collection, Use, and Sharing Practices
Please review this section to understand the scope of purposes and the sources from which we collect personal information. Similarly, you can find information about the categories of third parties with which we may share your personal information and why we share it in this section. We do not use your personal information for automated decision making, including profiling. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third party data vendors or marketing companies nor do we use your personal information for automated decision making, including profiling.
Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Information
Our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, such as to contact you about products and services you may be interested in. In certain circumstances where our legal basis of processing is for performance of a contract with you, please be aware that, in those circumstances, where you do not provide personal information which is required by us, we will not be able to provide the products and services under our contract with you or may not be able to comply with a legal obligation on us. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. If we happen to obtain your consent to process your personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time as stated here.
Exercising Your Rights
You may exercise the rights available to you under the GDPR, including the right to object to the processing of your personal information, as follows:
- Access – the right to obtain a confirmation that your personal information is being processed, access to your personal information (if we are in fact processing it), other information about the processing of your personal information (most of which is set forth in this Notice) and a copy of the personal information we are processing.
- Rectification – the right to have your personal information corrected if it is inaccurate, and depending on the purposes of processing, you may also have incomplete personal information completed.
- Erasure – also known as the “right to be forgotten,” the right to request your personal information be deleted under certain circumstances such as if it is no longer needed for the original purpose it was collected for or if you withdrew your consent. The right of erasure does not apply under limited circumstances including if the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information or our compliance with a legal obligation.
- Restrict processing – the right to restrict processing of your personal information under certain circumstances such as if you contest the accuracy of the personal information (and only for so long as it takes to verify that accuracy), the processing is unlawful and you have requested restricting the processing rather than erasure, or if we no longer need the personal information but you need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
- Portability – the right to receive the personal information you provided to us (and not any other information) under limited circumstances such as if the basis for processing the personal information was consent or necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or the processing is carried out by automated means.
- Object to processing – the right to object to the processing of your personal information under the following circumstances:
- Legitimate Interests – if the basis for which the processing occurs is in our legitimate interests or in the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. If you object, we will stop processing your personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or we require the personal information to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
- Direct Marketing – If the processing is for direct marketing purposes.
You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the contact information listed here; however, we may need to request additional information from you to verify your identity before granting your request. We will respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise such rights in accordance with the GDPR. We have the ability to charge a reasonable fee for administrative costs of providing the personal information to you in situations where the request is unfounded or excessive (due to its repeated nature), or in the alternative, we may refuse to act on the request in those situations.
You have the right to complain to your data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. Please contact your local data protection authority for more information. Contact information for data protection authorities can be found here.
Retaining Your Personal Information
We will store and retain your personal information in accordance with applicable law and as long as necessary to carry out the purposes described in this Section in accordance with our internal data retention procedures. The criteria used to determine the retention periods include:
- how long the personal information is needed in connection with the applicable purposes for which we use it;
- the type of personal information collected; and
- whether we are subject to a legal, contractual or similar obligation to retain the personal information (e.g., mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve personal information relevant to an investigation, or personal information that must be retained for the purposes of litigation or disputes).
International Transfers
We may disclose your personal information for the purposes described herein to recipients (including affiliates) located in countries outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland, and the UK, including in the U.S., which may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in the EEA, Switzerland, and/or the UK. We have entered into EU standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) for transfers of personal information. Where we transfer personal information to recipients outside of the EEA, Switzerland, and/or the UK, we will enter into SCCs with the recipient or seek assurances from the recipient that another appropriate safeguard is in place to protect the personal data transferred. You can request further details in relation to international transfers, including a copy of the SCCs, by contacting us at support@doforms.com.
