Privacy Policy

Overview

1771 Technologies Limited, along with our subsidiaries (“1771 Technologies,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), is dedicated to complying with data protection laws, which include the framework established by the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) as updated by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, along with other relevant consumer privacy legislation. Our Privacy Policy (“Policy”) outlines the types of personal information we gather, how we utilize this information, and the rights you possess.

To operate our business, we need to process specific personal information. There are a few instances when your information might be shared with third parties (such as in response to a legal order, for marketing activities, during mergers, or with our partners and service providers who assist in our operations or work with us). We prioritize protecting your personal information and implement measures to ensure its security. We encourage you to review our detailed Privacy Policy below and invite you to contact us with any inquiries.

Introduction

We respect your privacy and are dedicated to protecting it by complying with the practices of this Policy. This Policy, along with our Terms of Use, details the type of information we might collect from you or that you might provide us with—for instance, during your website visits or when you contact us. It also explains how we handle, protect, and disclose that information.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to data handling practices of third-party websites or applications (including advertisements) that might be linked to or accessible from our websites. We accept no responsibility for the privacy policies or the methods of collecting, using, and disclosing data on those sites. We recommend that you read the privacy policies of any website you visit.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices concerning your information and how we will handle it. You agree and accept this Policy's terms by accessing, using, or interacting with any of our websites or services (including email communications). Be aware that this Policy may change over time, impacting how we use the information described herein. Therefore, we recommend you periodically review this Policy for any updates.

How We Collect, Use, & Protect Personal Information

We collect several types of information for our business operations, which include, but are not limited to:

Information provided by you: When you use, access, or navigate our websites, services, or contact us, we might ask for, or you may choose to offer, certain information by which you may be personally identified (“personal information”), such as name, title, e-mail address, postal address, telephone number, GitHub profile (used for product support), employer, and position of employment, as well as records and copies of your previous communications with us.

Information from website forms: This may include information given when signing up to use parts of our websites or our products and services, posting material, participating in or signing up for virtual or physical events, or requesting additional services.

Information provided to buy or receive product information: Within our sites or business interactions, you may be asked to give us personal or organizational information to purchase or receive information about products or services offered by 1771 Technologies. We may collect this information through different methods, including (without limitation):
  • Registration Forms and Profiles: To purchase products from 1771 Technologies, you must set up an account and provide accurate contact and billing information. This helps us provide excellent service and maintain high-quality offerings. The registration process allows us to provide specific account information, store your name, purchase history, and billing information, and simplify future purchases and transactions. You can change your information online at any time. It is the users' responsibility always to keep their account credentials confidential.
  • Order and Enrollment Forms: Our order forms securely collect visitors' contact and payment details to fulfill orders. This information is shared with our partners only when needed to complete your request. During the purchase process, you may have the option to subscribe to future emails about our products, services, and promotions.
  • Online Forums and Social Networks: If you decide to post personal information on any of our online forums, discussion boards, blogs, or social networks, please be advised that others who visit these community spaces can view, collect, or use this information. It is important to consider whether you want to share Personal Information in these areas and to select the content you post carefully.
  • Telephone & Video Communication: With your permission, we may record phone and video conversations between you and our sales and marketing representatives for training and quality assurance. You will be notified at the beginning of any recorded communication and given the option to opt out. Recorded communications will be securely stored and deleted once they are no longer required for their intended purpose.

Email Marketing: As a customer who currently uses or has previously used our products or services, you may receive emails from us. These emails will include information about the features of the products you currently use and other products or services we offer that may interest you. We may include beacons or pixels in these emails to track whether you open them, how long they remain open, and potentially gather location and device information. This tracking allows us to understand the effectiveness of our emails and improve our content and services.

Email alerts: If you sign up for email alerts from 1771 Technologies, we will store your name and contact details as long as you wish to continue receiving them. To unsubscribe, you can click on the 'unsubscribe' link located at the bottom of our emails or send an email to privacy@1771technologies.com.

General business-related information: We may also receive other personal information from or about you in the ordinary course of our business.

Information Automatically Collected: We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate our websites or services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information). Still, it may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our websites or services, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our website and services and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes. Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. You can find out more about this in our Cookie Policy. The information we automatically collect includes the following:
  • Log and Usage Data: Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our websites or services and which we record in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type, and settings and information about your activity on the websites and services (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages files viewed, searches, and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports(sometimes called "crash dumps"), and hardware settings).
  • Device Data: We collect device data, such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other devices you use to access the websites and services. Depending on the device used, this data may include your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model, internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information.
  • Location Data: We collect location data, such as information about your device's location, which can be precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the websites or services. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your location settings on your device. However, if you opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the websites and services.
Sensitive Information: We do not collect sensitive information about you. Please do not send or otherwise share any sensitive personal information with us, including, but not limited to, your government-issued ID numbers (e.g., Social Security Number or driver's license number), racial or ethnic information, political or religious opinions, criminal convictions or offenses, or health information.
  • Notwithstanding the above, we will ask for your consent if we ever need to handle sensitive personal information about you. Once given, such consent may be withdrawn at any time. We will not handle any sensitive personal information that we are not permitted to handle or that you have not provided us with. Any personal information about you that we hold will only be accessible by those 1771 Technologies personnel with a reason to do so.
Purpose for Collecting Personal Information
We use information that we collect from or about you, including personal information, for several purposes:
  • To display and continuously improve our websites, products, and services.
  • To provide you with the information, products, or services you requested or to market our offerings. This might involve "remarketing," which allows us to display our marketing content on various websites after you've visited our sites, achieved through cookies placed on your browser.
  • To inform you about changes and updates to our websites, products, services, terms, and policies, including notifying you of promotions or events.
  • To maintain and ensure the integrity and security of our websites, products, and services.
  • For our ordinary business activities, which include matters related to human resources, recruiting, and business research and development.
  • To facilitate account creation and authentication and otherwise manage user accounts.
  • To deliver and facilitate the delivery of services to the user.
  • To respond to user inquiries/offer support to users. We may process your information to respond to your inquiries and solve any potential issues you might have with the requested service.
  • We may process your information to fulfill and manage your orders, payments, returns, and exchanges through our websites and services.
  • To request feedback. We may process your information when necessary to request feedback and contact you about your use of our websites and services.
  • To identify usage trends. We may process information about how you use our website and services to understand better how they are being used so we can improve them.
  • To determine the effectiveness of our marketing and promotional campaigns, we may process your information to understand better how to provide marketing and promotional campaigns that are most relevant to you.
  • We may process your information when necessary to save or protect an individual’s vital interest, such as to prevent harm.
Legal Basis for Processing
We are not permitted to process personal information without a valid legal basis. We will only process your personal information under the following conditions:
  • The processing is necessary for us to perform our contractual obligations towards you or to perform pre-contractual steps at your request. This includes authenticating your login to our services and ensuring you have access only to the services and data we have agreed to provide.
  • The processing is necessary to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, like tax reporting or meeting regulatory requirements.
  • The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
    • Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and services.
    • Develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for our users.
    • Analyze how our websites and services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users.
    • Support our marketing activities.
    • Diagnose problems and prevent fraudulent activities.
    • Understand how our users use our products and services so we can improve user experience.
  • The processing is necessary or required to perform a task that serves a public interest or vital interest, including where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as in situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
  • We may process your information if we have obtained your prior permission or consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
To the extent that we process any other categories of data relating to you, we will do so because:
  • The data has been manifestly made public.
  • The process is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.
  • The process is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest.
  • You have given your explicit consent to us to process that information (where legally permissible).
In legal terms, we are generally the "data controller" under European data protection laws regarding the personal information described in this Privacy Policy since we determine the means and/or purposes of our data processing. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the personal information we process as a "data processor" on behalf of our customers. In those situations, the customer to whom we provide services and with whom we have entered into a data processing agreement is the "data controller" responsible for your personal information, and we merely process your information on their behalf under your instructions. If you want to know more about our customers' privacy practices, read their privacy policies and ask them any questions.

Sharing & Disclosure of Your Personal Information

We value your privacy and do not lease, sell, or rent the personal information you share with us to third parties. We may disclose, transfer, or share personal information that we collect, or you provide in accordance with this Privacy Policy, including:
  • To our vendors, consultants, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers, and other third parties who support or collaborate with our business and are contractually obligated to keep personal information confidential and use it only to provide services for or with us.
  • When required by law, in response to a legal process, or in response to lawful requests from law enforcement or government agencies.
  • To enforce or apply our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, or any Terms of Service or End User License Agreement of 1771 Technologies.
  • To safeguard our rights, property, and security, as well as those of our employees, users, and others.
  • To a buyer or other successor in case of a merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all our assets, which might involve personal information held by 1771 Technologies about our websites and services users.
Service Providers: We use third-party service providers to enable us to provide you with a variety of services. These may involve providers offering services such as website hosting, data analysis, payment processing, order fulfillment, IT and infrastructure, customer support, email marketing, mailing, surveys, and auditing. We will only share your personal information with these service providers as needed and solely to provide that service.
These providers have no independent right to disclose this information. Before sharing your personal information, we will obtain your initial consent. If you wish to opt out of having your information shared with these third parties in the future, please get in touch with us at privacy@1771technologies.com; however, opting out may prevent you from licensing certain products due to our point-of-sale processes.
Third-Party Payment Processor: We use a third-party payment processor (Stripe) to handle credit card transactions. Our contracts with this provider prohibit them from storing, retaining, or using your personal and billing information except to process credit card payments. We may access the last four digits of your credit card number, expiration date, and billing address to deliver your purchase. We and our service provider can use aggregated transaction data for internal business analysis and fraud prevention.
Artificial intelligence: If you use an AI add-on or integration with 1771 Technologies' products, services, or websites that permit such use, you must follow the terms and privacy policies of the third-party AI provider. Before enabling any AI add-on or integration, we recommend that you review your data-sharing preferences, privacy settings, and the AI provider's privacy policies. 1771 Technologies is not liable for the personal information users voluntarily input or share via these tools.
Discussion Forums & Communications: Any personal information or additional data you submit in any forum (such as blogs, chat rooms, message boards, online hosting services, and social media) on our websites or while using our services may be read, collected, or used by others who visit these publicly accessible forums. This could lead to you receiving unsolicited messages, emails, and social media invitations. We are not responsible for any personal information or other content you share on these forums. Furthermore, search engines may index such shared content, increasing its visibility beyond our platform, over which we have no control over subsequent distribution or management. You agree and acknowledge that we are not responsible for any information published in search results or on any third-party site that contains any content or personal information you post on these forums.

International Transfer of Your Information

To support our worldwide activities and follow applicable laws, we might transfer and access your personal information in countries where our company, affiliates, and partners operate, including the United States. Remember that countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) may not protect your personal information as strongly as those within the EEA.

Suppose your data is transferred outside the EEA. In that case, we will implement appropriate safeguards to ensure the transfer adheres to applicable data protection rules. To provide this degree of protection for your personal information, we may enter into a data transfer agreement with the third-party recipient based on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, make sure the information is transferred to a jurisdiction where the European Commission has made an adequacy decision, or use another valid basis for transfer that satisfies the GDPR's requirements for appropriate safeguards. You may exercise your rights as set out below to request additional information and obtain information regarding the relevant safeguard. We rely on standard contractual clauses when 1771 Technologies transfers personal data to other group companies.

Data Retention & Correction

We will only retain your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy unless a more extended retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

No purpose in this Policy will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the period users have an account with us. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

You may request to review, correct, delete, or otherwise modify any personal information you previously provided us by using our websites and services. Suppose you have registered for an account with 1771 Technologies. In that case, you may generally update your user settings, profile, organization's settings, or billing information by logging into the website or service with your username and password and editing your settings or profile.

Security & Safety of Personal Information

At 1771 Technologies, we've implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures aligned with industry-standard practices to protect any personal information against unauthorized, accidental, or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, misuse, disclosure, or access and all other unlawful forms of processing. These security measures have been implemented considering the state of the art of the technology, their cost of implementation, the risks presented by the processing, and the nature of the personal information, with particular care for sensitive information.

Our security measures include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Access Control: Personal data is restricted to our employees and third-party providers with a legitimate business need. Sensitive information is only accessible to a select group of authorized users, minimizing the risk of unauthorized disclosure.
  • Confidentiality Commitments: To protect users' personal information, we require that all employees, partners, and third-party service providers sign confidentiality agreements. These binding legal agreements emphasize the importance of data privacy and require parties to follow our strict information security and confidentiality standards.
  • Data Encryption: We deploy encryption methodologies, such as secure socket layer (SSL) encryption, to safeguard sensitive transactions and data entries, notably credit card information.
  • Secure Data Storage: Personal data is housed within highly secure computing environments engineered to resist unauthorized access or exploitation. These environments leverage security technologies and controls, offering protection against cyber threats and ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of stored data.
However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties cannot defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our websites or services is at your own risk. You should only access our websites or services within a secure environment.

Your Privacy Rights

You may have a right to access and obtain a copy of your personal information as processed by 1771 Technologies. If you believe any information we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may also request the correction of your personal information.

You may also have the right to:
  • Object to the processing of your personal information.
  • Request the rectification or erasure of your personal information.
  • Request the restriction on processing your personal information; and/or
  • Withdraw your consent where 1771 Technologies obtained your consent to process personal information (without this withdrawal affecting the lawfulness of any processing before the withdrawal).
As relevant data protection laws require, we will respect such requests, withdrawals, or objections; however, these rights are not absolute; exceptions may apply, and exemptions may be engaged. When you make a request, we typically ask you to confirm your identity and provide details that will enable us to better understand what you're requesting. We will explain if we cannot comply with your request.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights mentioned above, please send an email to data-subject-request@1771technologies.com. If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your personal information, please let us know, and we will investigate. Please direct any concerns to our Data Protection Officer at privacy@1771technologies.com.

If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right to file a complaint with the data protection authority in the jurisdiction where you live or work or believe an issue with your data has occurred.
