How we use information we collect

How we use the information we collect depends in part on which Services you use, how you use them, and any preferences you have communicated to us. Below are the specific purposes for which we use the information we collect about you.

To provide the Services and personalize your experience: We use Personal Information to provide the Services to you, including to process transactions with you, authenticate you when you log in, provide customer support, and operate and maintain the Services.

For research and development: We are always looking for ways to make our Services smarter, faster, secure, integrated, and useful to you. We use collective learnings about how people use our Services and feedback provided directly to us to troubleshoot and to identify trends, usage, activity patterns and areas for integration and improvement of the Services.

To communicate with you about the Services: We use your contact information to send transactional communications via email and within the Services, including confirming your purchases, reminding you of subscription expirations, responding to your comments, questions and requests, providing customer support, and sending you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages. We also send you communications as you onboard to a particular Service to help you become more proficient in using that Service. These communications are part of the Services and in most cases you cannot opt out of them. If an opt out is available, you will find that option within the communication itself or in your account settings.

To market, promote and drive engagement with the Services: We use your contact information and information about how you or your personnel use the Services to send promotional communications that may be of specific interest to you or your personnel, including by email and by displaying Alignment-Labs ads on other companies’ websites and applications, as well as on platforms like Facebook and Google. These communications are aimed at driving engagement and maximizing what you or your personnel get out of the Services, including information about new features, survey requests, newsletters, and events we think may be of interest to you.

To protect our legitimate business interests and legal rights: Where required by law or where we believe it is necessary to protect our legal rights, interests and the interests of others, we use information about you or your personnel in connection with legal claims, compliance, regulatory, and audit functions, and disclosures in connection with the acquisition, merger or sale of a business.

With your consent: We use information about you or your personnel where you have given us consent to do so for a specific purpose not listed above. For example, we may publish testimonials or featured customer stories to promote the Services, with your permission.

How, and With Whom, Is Collected Information Shared?

We do not disclose any of your or your personnel information to anyone but your team. We only use Personal Information to improve our Services, including the Alignment-Labs bot and to deliver alignment status reports, and other functionality to you and your team.

We may store some of the Personal Information on the side of our service providers, business partners, subsidiaries and affiliates when we use their services ( each a “Third-Party”). You authorize Alignment-Labs to engage these Third-Parties, subject to compliance with this Policy. At present, these Third Parties are Google Cloud and Slack.

We do not sell, lease or transfer your personal information to third parties, but we may and sometimes shall disclose Personal Information if one of the following circumstances occur:

As required by law such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;
When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Website of any change in ownership or uses of Personal Information, as well as any choices you or your personnel may have regarding Personal Information;
When we hire companies to help us market our websites and Services and provide you with information and offers related to Alignment-Labs, including displaying ads to you across the Internet;
When we aggregate and share de-identified information collected by our Services in order to provide statistical information or market research to third parties;
To any other third party with your prior consent to do so.

We will provide you with written notice of at least fourteen (14) days upon the addition of any new Third-Party or replacement of an existing Third-Party for the purposes of this Policy (the “Objection Period”). You agree to sign up to a mailing list made available by Alignment-Labs through which such notices will be delivered by email. If you have a reasonable basis to object to our use of a new or replacement Third Party, you may object to in writing during the Objection Period. In such an event, the parties will conduct good faith negotiation. If the negotiations do not result in resolution acceptable to both parties and you can demonstrate that the new or replacement Third-Party is unable to comply with this Policy, you may terminate, your account.

6 – How we store and secure information we collect

Information storage and security

We use data hosting service providers in the European Union to host the information we collect, and we use technical measures to secure your data.

The security of Personal Information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Non-public Personal Information that shared with us will be protected using industry-standard techniques. We seek to protect your non-public Personal Information to ensure that it is kept private; however, we cannot guarantee its security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.

If you have any questions about security on the Website, please contact us at https://www.alignment-labs.com/#contact

How long we keep information

How long we keep information we collect depends on the type of information, as described in further detail below. After such time, we will either delete or to the best of our ability anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.

Account information: We retain your account information for as long as your account is active and a reasonable period thereafter in case you decide to re-activate the Services. We also retain some of your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, to support business operations, and to continue to develop and improve our Services. Where we retain information for Service improvement and development, we take steps to eliminate information that directly identifies you or your personnel, and we only use the information to uncover collective insights about the use of our Services, not to specifically analyze personal characteristics about you.

Information you share on the Services: If your account is deactivated or disabled, some of the Personal Information and the content you or your personnel have provided will remain in order to allow your team members or other users to make full use of the Services. For example, we continue to display previous answers you or your personnel sent to the reports that received and shared in your team Platform and continue to display other content you provided.

Managed accounts: If the Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g., your employer), we retain your or your personnel’s information as long as required by the administrator of your account.

Marketing information: If you have elected to receive marketing emails from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences for a reasonable period of time from the date you last expressed interest in our Services, such as when you last opened an email from us or ceased using your Alignment-Labs account. We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such information was created.

8 – How Can I Delete Information Kept by You?

Should you ever decide to delete your account, you may do so by emailing oursupport@alignment-labs.com, and providing your name and any relevant account information. We will review and fulfill your request in 14 days, subject to any legal or technical limitations. Please note that some data may be retained for legal or internal business purposes. We will communicate the status of your request to you and document all requests and actions taken in response to them.

If you terminate your Account, any association between your Account and information we store will no longer be accessible through your Account. However, given the nature of sharing on the Services, any public activity on your Account prior to deletion will remain stored on our servers and will remain accessible to the public.
