Where is your personal data processed?

 

We use EU/EEA vendors that store data in the EU/EEA when possible. However, when we must use suppliers outside of the EU/EEA, your personal data will, in most cases, be processed outside of the EU/EEA. These are the cases in which we transfer your data outside of the EU/EEA:

  • When you use any of our Cloud products we maintain network logs using AWS and track javascript errors using Sentry. Both suppliers store data in the USA.

  • When you use ActionableAgile for Azure DevOps we store your Azure user ID and information about the subscription you belong to so we can verify you have access to a valid subscription and log you into the app. This information is stored in Google Cloud’s Firebase Firestore which stores data in the USA.

  • When you purchase a subscription through 55 Degrees via credit card we store needed personal data to manage and communicate with you regarding your subscription to our Products. The information we store is personal data about you, for example, your e-mail address and payment information. This information is sent to Recurly and Stripe, both suppliers storing data in the USA.

  • When you interact with us via our support channels we process your personal data, e.g. name and e-mail address, entered into our service desk so that we can assist you. This information is entered into Jira Service Management via our support portal vendor, Refined. Both suppliers store some or all information in the USA.

  • When you book a meeting with us we gather your personal data as a meeting attendee, e.g. your e-mail address. This information about you is entered by you or the company you represent into Calendly, a service that stores data in the USA.

  • When you attend a virtual meeting with us we store your personal data as a meeting attendee, e.g. your name and e-mail address, and, with consent, store recordings for up to 30 days. This information is stored in Zoom or Microsoft Teams, both of which store data in the USA.

 

In the above situations, we and our suppliers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data outside of the EU/EEA. The use of Standard Contractual Clauses is an effort to provide a safe transfer of your personal data. You find a more detailed description of the transfer of personal data on our supplier page.

 

If you want to know more about whom we share your personal data with and how your personal data is transferred, please feel free to contact us. Our contact information can be found at the beginning of this privacy policy.

We shall no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

  • In the context of the use of information society services, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

 

Right to erasure (“the right to be forgotten”) (Article 17 GDPR)

You have the right to ask us to erase your personal data.

 

In detail. We are obligated to erase your personal data without undue delay if:

  • the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed,

Where we have made the personal data public and are obliged in accordance with the rights stated above to erase the personal data, we shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers which are processing the personal data that you have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

 

We will notify any erasure of personal data carried out in accordance with your rights stated above to each recipient to whom the personal data have been provided to unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. If you want information about those recipients, you are more than welcome to contact us.

 

Please note that our obligation to erase and inform according to the above shall not apply to the extent processing is necessary:

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information,

Where the processing has been restricted according to the above, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

We will notify you before the restriction of processing is lifted. We will also communicate any restriction of processing of personal data carried out in accordance with your rights stated above to each recipient to whom the personal data have been provided unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. If you want information about those recipients, you are more than welcome to contact us.

Balancing of interests assessments when processing personal data based on the legal basis of “legitimate interests”

 

As we state above, for some purposes, we process your personal data based on our “legitimate interest”. By carrying out a balancing of interests assessment concerning our processing of your personal data, we have concluded that our legitimate interest in the processing outweighs your interests or rights which require the protection of your personal data.
