Effective date: August 20, 2021
This Privacy Policy describes how optimyze.cloud Inc. (“optimyze”, “we” or “us”) treats personal information submitted to its online software-as-a-service for cloud service usage metrics and analytics (the “Hosted Service” as described in our Hosted Service Terms at https://run.prodfiler.com), and collected through our websites at https://optimyze.cloud and https://prodfiler.com (the “Website”).
By using or accessing the Hosted Service or the Website in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways.
Remember that your use of the Hosted Service is at all times subject to our Hosted Service Terms, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in theĀ Hosted Service Terms (https://prodfiler.com/term-of-condition).
If you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please send a detailed message to privacy@optimyze.cloud, and we will try to resolve your concerns.
Definitions
As used in this policy:
“personally identifiable information” means information that can be directly associated with an individual and includes payment information, names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses and other contact information.
“personal information” means personally identifiable information, together with information indirectly associated with an individual, such as IP addresses, pseudonymous identifiers, etc. and other information associated with that individual that is indexed to any of the foregoing.
Other terms are defined elsewhere in this Privacy Policy or in the Hosted Service Terms (https://prodfiler.com/term-of-condition ).
Persons Covered by this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy covers the personal information of anyone who visits our Website or uses our Hosted Service. More specifically, it covers the personal information of:
visitors to our Website or people who correspond with us through our Website outside of our Hosted Service; and
users of the Hosted Service.
Enterprise Users
If you are an employee or contractor of a company to which we provide our Hosted Service, then our obligations to you may be controlled by a separate written agreement which may have terms which are different from this Privacy Policy. That agreement is between us and the relevant company, and any questions about the specific terms of that agreement should be directed to an appropriate person in authority in that company. In this case, you should also be aware that the company with which we have an agreement may, and likely will, provide personal information about you to us, and will require that most notifications which we would normally provide to you directly will be provided to the company.
Information You Knowingly Provide to Us
Correspondents
If you correspond with us outside of the use of the Hosted Service through a web form, survey response, email or otherwise, we will collect and retain your correspondence like any other ordinary business correspondence, subject to the information retention policies and legal requirements applicable to us and standard in our business.
Users
In order to provide the Hosted Service, we receive and store the personally identifiable information you knowingly provide to us. Establishing an account for the use of the Hosted Service currently requires only a valid email address and a password.
We will also collect and retain the Customer Data you collect through your use of the Hosted Service and Local Agent (i.e., cloud service metrics and analytics), subject to the Hosted Service Terms, and the information retention policies and legal requirements applicable to us and standard in our business. The Customer Data is associated with the email address you use to establish your account.
Information Collected Automatically
Log Data
Whenever you interact with our Website or Hosted Service, our servers automatically receive and record information from your browser or device (“Log Data”), which may include some personal information, but not personally identifiable information. Log Data includes information like your IP address, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access the Website or Hosted Service, the capabilities of that browser or device, and the page or feature you requested. Log Data, together with the information that we collect through the Tracking Mechanisms, comprise “Analytic Data”.
Tracking Technologies
We, and third parties with whom we interact, including our third-party service providers or business partners, may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technology in connection with your use of the Website or Service (collectively referred to in this policy as “Tracking Mechanisms”). Cookies are small text files that may have unique identifiers, and reside, among other places, on your mobile device or your computer. Web beacons are small strings of code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a web page or in an email message for the purpose of transferring data.
If Tracking Mechanisms are used, they may be used to collect information about you and your use of our Website and Hosted Service, such as your browser type, and the date and time of your use. Tracking Mechanisms may also be used in order to help us learn more about how users engage with the Website and Hosted Service, enable Hosted Service features and processes (like enabling you to return to password-protected areas of the Hosted Service without having to re-enter your password), provide authentication and security for your use of the Hosted Service, or store your preferences.
Specific Service Providers
Our third-party analytics service providers include Google Analytics. For Google’s privacy practices see www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html. To opt out of data recording and analysis by Google Analytics, see https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Disabling Cookies or Web Beacons
It may be possible to disable cookies through your device settings. Most browsers allow disabling either third party cookies or all cookies. The method for disabling cookies may vary by device, but can usually be found in preferences or security settings. However, doing so may cause portions of the Website or Hosted Service to not function, or to function improperly, or otherwise affect your ability to use the Website or Hosted Service. You may also disable web beacons by disabling HTML images in your email program, which may in turn affect other images in emails you receive.
Do Not Track
The Website and Hosted Service do not respond to the Do Not Track setting in your browser. We do not ourselves use cookies to collect personally identifiable information and track users' online activities over time (except specifically in the Hosted Service for the purposes we describe above) or across different web sites. However, certain of the third party analytics or advertising providers we use (e.g., Google) may be able to do so, though we do not have access to or control of that information. For information regarding Do Not Track mechanisms, see http://allaboutdnt.com.

Social Media Services
When we interact with you on social media services, the information you share with us which can be seen by anyone other than you, us and the relevant social media service is not covered by this Privacy Policy.

Do not share any personal information in those services that you do not want to be made public.
Analytics Data
optimyze uses the Analytics Data to enable us to figure out how often users use parts of the Website or Hosted Service, so that we can customize and improve the Hosted Service and Website. As part of our use of such information, we may provide such Analytics Data to our partners (only in a de-identified and aggregated format) about how our users use the Hosted Service. We may link Analytics Data to personal information that we collect through the Hosted Service, but we will only use the information in this form internally (for example, to customize your experience), and will not disclose it in linked format to third parties.

Personal information may be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization or other change of control. If we sell, merge or transfer any part of our business, part of the sale may include your personal information.

We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we reasonably believe is necessary to comply with applicable law, rule regulation, subpoena or other legal process; enforce or apply our Hosted Service Terms and other agreements; or prevent illegal activities and/or protect the rights, property, or safety of optimyze, our employees, our users, or others.
Third Party Links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may link to third party products or services on our Website or within the Hosted Service. If you access other websites using the links provided, the operators of these websites may collect information from you that will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policies. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We, therefore, have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Security
We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other personal information we hold in our records, and we use industry standard data security measures to protect your personal information. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information.

You should prevent unauthorized access to your Hosted Service account and the personally identifiable information in that Hosted Service account by selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism appropriately, not sharing those sign-on credentials with anyone, and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing the Hosted Service.

You may not provide these credentials to any third party.

We are not responsible if someone else accesses your Account through login credentials they have obtained from you or through a violation by you of this Privacy Policy or the Hosted Service Terms.
Opting Out; Terminating Your Account; Retrieving, Changing and Deleting Information
You can opt out of most communications from us by so indicating in the relevant part of your Hosted Service account profile, by clicking the opt-out link in emails, by emailing us at [privacy@optimyze.cloud] or by other methods that we may provide which match the communication method.

For personally identifiable information collected through the Website (e.g., by signing up for a mailing list), please contact us at [privacy@optimyze.cloud] if you would like us to delete that information. Through your Hosted Service account settings, you may access, and, in some cases, update or delete the personally identifiable information in your Hosted Service account.

We may use aggregated or de-identified information derived from your personally identifiable information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.

We may also retain Hosted Service account information and related transaction records as required of us or our partners by applicable law or regulations or to comply with law enforcement.
The information you can view, update, and delete may change as the Hosted Service changes. We store Analytics Data and information collected through the Website separately from the information stored in the Hosted Service. We have no meaningful ability to provide you with information concerning Analytics Data.

United States Operation
As a matter of our practices and policies, we adhere to the principles set out the European Union General Privacy Directive (“GDPR”), but the Website and Hosted Service are operated from the United States, and the privacy laws of the United States may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction.

If you are a resident in the European Union, you also have the right to at no cost to lodge a complaint with EU data protection authorities. This right may also exist in other countries.
For the purposes of the GDPR, we act as a data controller for the personal data which we collect directly from users who interact with us outside of an agreement we have with school or school district, but we act as a data processor for the personal data which we collect and process as part of our agreement with a school or school district. We have established an individual within our executive team as our data protection officer, who can be reached at [privacy@optimyze.cloud].
