What Is The Scope Of This Privacy Policy?

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Team Productivity Terms of Service, and applies to the information obtained by us through your use of this website, the Service and other Team Productivity products and services.

I. Information Collection and Use

What Information Does Team Productivity Collect About Me and Why?

We collect very little personal information about our users, especially users of our free service. A list of the “Personal Information” Team Productivity may collect, and why we collect it, follows:

• Your username, email address, and contact preferences. This lets us create your account, provide you with convenient and personalized access to your account, and deliver and support the Service. This information also helps us communicate with you about your use of the Service, product announcements and software updates, as well as respond to your requests for assistance (including providing account verification support if you’re having difficultly accessing your account). In addition, we may use your Personal Information to send you marketing emails and special offers about the Service. For more information, please see the section below entitled, “Will Team Productivity Send Me Emails?”
• For Premium users, transactional information such as your credit card number and billing address or your PayPal or Google Wallet account information. This lets us process your payments for Premium services.
• The geographic area where you use your computer and mobile devices (as indicated by an IP address or similar identifier), and the language you select when interacting with the Team Productivity service. We collect this information in order to help us deliver and support the Service, including by localizing your Team Productivity experience. It also helps us improve our understanding of how our users use the Service.
• The Team Productivity products and services you use. This information helps us deliver and support the Service and respond to your requests for assistance. We also collect this information to improve our understanding of how our users use the Service.
• Any Content you add to your account. We don’t use this information for any purpose other than to make sure it is available to you when you use the Service.

Team Productivity’s web site and applications also collect and receive information from your computer or mobile device, including the activities you perform within your account, the type of hardware and software you are using (for example, your operating system or browser), and information obtained from cookies (see ourCookie Information Page for more information). When you access Team Productivity via an Team Productivity Software application, that application will request access to certain information on your computing device.

Gathering this kind of information helps us administer the Service, provide convenient and personalized user access, improve the features and usability of our products and Service, analyze user trends and information about users’ use of our Service (including the extent to which our users share or make public notes and notebooks), collect information about use and growth of the Service in specific regions, and evaluate the content and organization of our site. We do NOT collect information about you to deliver any targeted advertising to you, or track your visits to any third-party websites.
In addition, we automatically gather non-personally identifiable information that indicates your association with one of our business partners or certain promotions. We use this information to determine the amount of revenue share payments to make to partners with whom we might have such arrangements and to provide anonymized aggregate reports.

What Is Team Productivity’s Approach to Information Collected From Children?

Team Productivity complies with the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), which requires us to notify and obtain consent from a parent or guardian before we collect, use and disclose the personal information of children who are under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age without such consent, and if we learn that we have inadvertently done so, we will promptly delete it.

Will Team Productivity Send Me Emails?

From time to time, we may want to contact you with information about product announcements, software updates and special offers.

As a rule, Team Productivity employees do not monitor or view your personal information or Content stored in the Service, but it may be viewed if we believe our Terms of Service have been violated and confirmation is required, if we need to do so in order to respond to your requests for user support, or we otherwise determine that we have an obligation to review it as described in our Terms of Service. Your Notes also may be viewed where necessary to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Team Productivity and its users, or in order to comply with our legal obligations, such as responding to warrants, court orders or other legal process.

Does Team Productivity Ever Make Any of My Personal Information or Content Public?

No. Note, however, that certain portions of the Team Productivity web sites and Service, such as user notebooks designated as “public” and our user forum, are open to any online viewer. Any information that you post in these locations can be read, collected and used by anyone and could enable others to send you unsolicited messages. Team Productivity enables you to determine whether or not to post personal or otherwise sensitive information to publicly accessible areas of our site, so you should carefully consider how you use the services. Team Productivity is not responsible for any publication or use of any Personal Information you choose to post in these locations.

III. Data Storage and Transfer

Where Is My Data Stored?

When you use Team Productivity Software on your computing device, Content you save will be stored locally. When you synch your computing device with the Service, that Content will be replicated on our servers, which are located in the United States.
Please be aware that Personal Information and Content submitted to Team Productivity will be transferred to a data center in the United States. If you post information to the Team Productivity sites you are confirming your consent to such information, including Personal Information and Content, being hosted and accessed in the United States.

How Can I Access or Correct Information Team Productivity Holds About Me?

Users who wish to (i) access any Personal Information that we hold about you; (ii) request that we correct or delete the Personal Information that we hold about you; or (iii) request that we not use or stop using your Personal Information for marketing purposes may do so by contacting us at compliance AT evernote DOT com. We will comply with such requests to the extent permitted or required by law.

How Secure Is My Data?

Team Productivity is committed to protecting the security of your information and takes reasonable precautions to protect it. However, Internet data transmissions, whether wired or wireless, cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and as a result, we cannot ensure the security of information you transmit to us; accordingly, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your data transmission, we make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems:

• Your Team Productivity password is protected by encryption, and only you have access to it.
• Your personal information and data stored in our systems is protected by various physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. It is housed in a secure facility, and Team Productivity restricts physical and network access to this facility to select trained staff. We regularly evaluate our technologies, facilities, procedures and potential risks to maintain the security and privacy of our users’ data.
• Certain Team Productivity services support the use of standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions. However, this is not a guarantee that such data transmissions cannot be accessed, altered or deleted due to firewall or other security software failures.

If Team Productivity learns of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you and provide information on protective steps, if available, through the email address that you have provided to us or by posting a notice on our web site. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive such notices in writing.

IV. Information Deletion

What Happens If I Want to Stop Using Team Productivity?

You can delete Content you have posted to any notebook at any time, and you can stop using Team Productivity at any time. If you delete information and material from a notebook and then sync your account, it will no longer be accessible to you or others who may access the Service, but residual copies of your deleted Content may continue to exist on Team Productivity’s back-up and archiving systems for up to one year due to the nature of those systems’ operations. If you cancel your account, the Content in your account will not be deleted unless you purposely delete that information, and sync your account before you cancel your account.

What Happens If Team Productivity Closes My Account?

If Team Productivity closes your account due to a Terms of Service violation, then you may contact Team Productivity to request deletion of your data, and Team Productivity will evaluate such requests on a case by case basis, pursuant to our legal obligations.
