4. Disclosure of Personal Data

In certain circumstances we may disclose your Personal Data to:

In addition, if you create an account using an email address belonging to your employer or organization, we may share the fact that you have an account and certain account information, such as your email address, with your employer or organization to, for example, enable you to be added to their business account.

Other Users and Third Parties You Share Information With

Certain features allow you to display or share information with other users. For example, you may share a graph with other users via shared links or send information to third-party applications via embed links.

5. Retention

We'll retain your Personal Data for only as long as we need in order to provide our Service to you, or for other legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes, safety and security reasons, or complying with our legal obligations. How long we retain Personal Data will depend on a number of factors, such as:

  • Our purpose for processing the data (such as whether we need to retain the data to provide our Services);
  • The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data;
  • The potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the data;
  • Any legal requirements that we are subject to.

In some cases, the length of time we retain data depends on your settings. For example, Vizdom's offers the ability to retain historical changes to graphs. When disabled, graphs are immediately overridden without the ability to restore them. When enabled, graphs are persisted for as long as the account is active.

6. Your Rights

You have the following statutory rights in relation to your Personal Data:

  • Access your Personal Data and information relating to how it is processed.
  • Delete your Personal Data from our records.
  • Rectify or update your Personal Data.
  • Transfer your Personal Data to a third party (right to data portability).
  • Restrict how we process your Personal Data.
  • Withdraw your consent—where we rely on consent as the legal basis for processing at any time.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (see below).

You have the following rights to object:

  • Object to our processing of your Personal Data for direct marketing at any time.
  • Object to how we process your Personal Data when our processing is based on our legitimate interests.

You can exercise some of these rights through your Vizdom account. If you are unable to exercise your rights through your account, please submit your request by sending it to privacy@vizdom.dev.

Please note these rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal Personal Data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information that we are required by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep.

We hope that we are able to address any questions or concerns you may have. If you have any unresolved complaints with us or our Data Protection Officer, you can reach out to your local supervisory authority. For any unresolved complaints relating to the UK you can reach out to the Information Commissioner's Office and for Switzerland, to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

7. Children

Our Services are not directed to, or intended for, children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 13. If you have reason to believe that a child under 13 has provided Personal Data to Vizdom through the Services, please email us at privacy@vizdom.dev. We will investigate any notification and, if appropriate, delete the Personal Data from our systems. Users under 18 must have permission from their parent or guardian to use our Services.
