Policies

Effective date: 21 May 2018

This Privacy Policy describes how Rotaready collects, uses and discloses information, and what choices you have with respect to the information.

Updates in this version of the Privacy Policy reflect changes in data protection law. In addition, we have worked to make the Privacy Policy clearer and more understandable by:

  • organising it into the sections listed in the Table of Contents below,
  • providing a series of examples that help illustrate how the policies may be implemented by Rotaready and
  • defining and capitalising a few terms that are used more than once for simplicity and brevity.

When we refer to "Rotaready", we mean the Rotaready entity that acts as the processor of your information, as explained in more detail in the "Identifying the Data Controller and Processor" section below.

Table of Contents

Applicability of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Rotaready's online workforce management tools and platform, including the associated Rotaready mobile and tablet applications (collectively, the "Services"), Rotaready.com and other Rotaready websites (collectively, the "Websites") and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, user conferences, etc.) you may have with Rotaready. If you do not agree with the terms, do not access or use the Services, Websites or any other aspect of Rotaready's business.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third party applications or software that integrate with the Services through the Rotaready platform ("Third Party Services"), or any other third party products, services or businesses. In addition, a separate agreement governs delivery, access and use of the Services (the "Subscription Agreement"), including the processing of any personal data submitted through Services accounts (collectively, "Customer Data"). The organisation (e.g., your employer or another entity or person) that entered into the Subscription Agreement ("Customer") controls their instance of the Services (their "Realm") and any associated Customer Data. If you have any questions about specific Realm settings and privacy practices, please contact the Customer whose Realm you use.

Information We Collect And Receive

Rotaready may collect and receive Customer Data and other information and data ("Other Information") in a variety of ways:

  • Customer Data. Customers or individuals granted access to a Realm by a Customer ("Authorised Users") routinely submit Customer Data to Rotaready when using the Services.
  • Other Information. Rotaready also collects, generates and/or receives Other Information:
    • Realm and Account Information. To create or update a Realm account, you or your Customer (e.g., your employer) supply Rotaready with an email address, phone number, password, domain and/or similar account details. In addition, Customers that purchase a paid version of the Services provide Rotaready (or its payment processors) with billing details such as credit card information, banking information and/or a billing address.
    • Usage Information.
      • Services Metadata. When an Authorised User interacts with the Services, metadata is generated that provides additional context about the way Authorised Users work. For example, Rotaready logs the people, features, content and links you interact with and what Third Party Services are used (if any).
      • Log data. As with most websites and technology services delivered over the Internet, our servers automatically collect information when you access or use our Websites or Services and record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited before using the Website or Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data.
      • Device information. Rotaready collects information about devices accessing the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and crash data. Whether we collect some or all of this Other Information often depends on the type of device used and its settings.
      • Location information. We receive information from you, your Customer and other third-parties that helps us approximate your location. We may, for example, use a business address submitted by your employer, or an IP address received from your browser or device to determine approximate location. Rotaready may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device.
    • Cookie Information. Rotaready uses cookies and similar technologies in our Websites and Services that help us collect Other Information. The Websites and Services may also include cookies and similar tracking technologies of third parties, which may collect Other Information about you via the Websites and Services and across other websites and online services.
    • Third Party Services. Customer can choose to permit or restrict Third Party Services for their Realm. Typically, Third Party Services are software that integrate with our Services, and Customer can permit its Authorised Users to enable and disable these integrations for their Realm. Once enabled, the provider of a Third Party Service may share certain information with Rotaready. For example, if an HR application is enabled to permit absence records to be imported to a Realm, we may receive names and time off data of Authorised Users, along with additional information that the application has elected to make available to Rotaready to facilitate the integration. Authorised Users should check the privacy settings and notices in these Third Party Services to understand what data may be disclosed to Rotaready. When a Third Party Service is enabled, Rotaready is authorised to connect and access Other Information made available to Rotaready in accordance with our agreement with the Third Party Provider. We do not, however, receive or store passwords for any of these Third Party Services when connecting them to the Services.
    • Contact Information. In accordance with the consent process provided by your device, any contact information that an Authorised User chooses to import (such as an address book from a device) is collected when using the Services.
    • Third Party Data. Rotaready may receive data about organisations, industries, Website visitors, marketing campaigns and other matters related to our business from parent corporation(s), affiliates and subsidiaries, our partners or others that we use to make our own information better or more useful. This data may be combined with Other Information we collect and might include aggregate level data, such as which IP addresses correspond to postal codes or countries. Or it might be more specific: for example, how well an online marketing or email campaign performed.
    • Additional Information Provided to Rotaready. We receive Other Information when submitted to our Websites or if you participate in a focus group, contest, activity or event, apply for a job, request support, interact with our social media accounts or otherwise communicate with Rotaready.

Generally, no one is under a statutory or contractual obligation to provide any Customer Data or Other Information (collectively, "Information"). However, certain Information is collected automatically and, if some Information, such as Realm setup details, is not provided, we may be unable to provide the Services.

How We Use Information

Customer Data will be used by Rotaready in accordance with Customer's instructions, including any applicable terms in the Subscription Agreement and Customer's use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. Rotaready is a processor of Customer Data and Customer is the controller. Customer may, for example, use the Services to grant and remove access to a Realm, assign roles and configure settings, access, modify, export, share and remove Customer Data and otherwise apply its policies to the Services.

Rotaready uses Other Information in furtherance of our legitimate interests in operating our Services, Websites and business. More specifically, Rotaready uses Other Information:

  • To provide, update, maintain and protect our Services, Websites and business.

  • To develop and provide search, learning and productivity tools and additional features.Rotaready tries to make the Services as useful as possible for specific Realms and Authorised Users. For example, we may improve search functionality by using Other Information to help determine and rank the relevance of content, channels or expertise to an Authorised User, make Services suggestions based on historical use and predictive models, identify organisational trends and insights, to customise a Services experience or create new productivity features and products.
  • To send emails and other communications. We may send you service, technical and other administrative emails, messages and other types of communications. We may also contact you to inform you about changes in our Services, our Services offerings, and important Services-related notices, such as security and fraud notices. These communications are considered part of the Services and you may not opt out of them. In addition, we sometimes send emails about new product features, promotional communications or other news about Rotaready. These are marketing messages so you can control whether you receive them.
  • For billing, account management and other administrative matters. Rotaready may need to contact you for invoicing, account management and similar reasons and we use account data to administer accounts and keep track of billing and payments.
  • To investigate and help prevent security issues and abuse.

If Information is aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, Rotaready may use it for any business purpose. To the extent Information is associated with an identified or identifiable natural person and is protected as personal data under applicable data protection law, it is referred to in this Privacy Policy as "Personal Data."

Data Retention

Rotaready will retain Customer Data in accordance with a Customer's instructions, including any applicable terms in the Subscription Agreement and Customer's use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. Depending on the Services plan, Customer may be able to customise its retention settings and apply those customised settings at the Realm level. The deletion of Customer Data and other use of the Services by Customer may result in the deletion and/or de-identification of certain associated Other Information. Rotaready may retain Other Information pertaining to you for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This may include keeping your Other Information after you have deactivated your account for the period of time needed for Rotaready to pursue legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
