1. INTRODUCTION

Maintaining your trust for Favro AB and our affiliates (“Favro”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is our top priority. This document, Favro’s Privacy Policy, explains how we process your personal information when you, for example, visit our homepage, use our software services or ask us for help through support requests. Personal information is information that can be traced back directly or indirectly to and identifies you as an individual, such as your name, address, email, physical location, or phone number (“Personal Information”).

We process your Personal Information in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the GDPR, as it forms part of the law of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland by virtue of Section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “UK GDPR”), including its respective amendments, and all other legal acts applicable to Favro.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time and we reserve the right to do so. Any changes we may make to our Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on our website so please revisit it periodically.

If you have any concern about providing information to us or having such information used in any manner permitted in this Privacy Policy, you should not provide us with any Personal Information and you should not visit our website or use our services.

2. SCOPE OF PRIVACY POLICY

Favro AB is the data controller of the information monitored, collected, used, stored or otherwise processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Please note that this Privacy Policy only concerns the processing of Personal Information for which Favro is the data controller, i.e. where we have decided the means and purposes of the processing of Personal Information. For information concerning processing of Personal Information for which Favro is the data processor, please see Favro’s Data Processing Addendum.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy does not concern any processing of Personal Information that we may conduct as a data processor as a result of your and your organization’s use of our services. This includes, but is not limited to, Personal Information that you and/or other members of your organization provide when using Favro’s project planning services.

For more information about how Favro's services may be used to facilitate your processing of personal data, and Favro’s responsibility and undertakings in relation thereto, please refer to our Terms of Service.

3. THE KIND OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND THE LEGAL BASIS FOR IT

We may collect both Personal Information (as defined above) and Non-Personal Information (that is information, which is not Personal).

If we have collected information, which consists of both Personal and Non-Personal (“Combined Information”), we will treat the Combined Information as Personal Information.

We will handle your Personal Information in order to comply with the contractual obligations we have under the agreement with you. We may also rely on our legitimate interest to handle your Personal Information (e.g. when necessary for internal administrative purposes, service improvement or to maintain a high level of security) or as required by law. See further below in section 4.

Personal Information will be requested when you engage in the following activities:

When you subscribe to Favro

When you subscribe to Favro we will collect personal information about you, e.g. your name, title, email and physical location, and we will also have our payment services subcontractor collect your credit card information.

When you visit our homepage

We gather information from your browser when you access our homepage in order to measure the number of visitors and from where you are accessing the homepage, including your IP address. You can read more about cookies later in this document.

When you request our help

Personal information may be stored in our internal systems when a request is sent to support and/or requests are sent for training and demos. The information provided during such communication would be name and email address; however additional information could be requested depending on the type of support needed.

When you send us data to troubleshoot an issue

Sometimes a request to our support results in that we may ask you for a crash dump, a copy of your database or other information that might be sensitive for various reasons and that may include Personal Information. This information may also be submitted to us through a dialog that appears if you encounter a crash. This information will solely be used for troubleshooting and we will delete the information after we are done with the troubleshooting.

Other Submissions

If you participate in a survey, contest, promotion, events, communicate with us via social media, post a comment to one of our blog posts or otherwise communicate with us where Personal Information is included we may collect this. This could be for example Personal Information you include if you post something to our Twitter account about an issue you are experiencing. Note that if this information is not posted in a secure area, it may be visible to the public.
