Data Covered by this Global Privacy NoticeThis global privacy notice covers personally identifiable information (PII) when we act as the data controller.
- PII identifies or could be used to identify a specific person, and any data about that person. For example, your name, address, and payment details are PII.
- We act as a controller when we process PII for our own use. For example, we act as a controller when you provide your PII to open an account.
This notice does not apply when you process PII for your own benefit. For example, when you send email for your business purposes that includes PII, you are acting as the “controller”. When you act as the controller, we act as the “processor” and process PII only in accordance with your instructions or as required by law.
This notice also does not apply to third-party applications offered through our services or linked through our website, such as Microsoft 365 and similar offerings. Please review the privacy notice of any third-party service or website before using it.
Core Privacy RightsWe recognize several core privacy rights:
- the right to know what PII we hold about you
- the right to access, correct, or delete your PII
- the right to transfer your PII (data portability)
- the right to set your marketing and advertising preferences
We promptly review requests to exercise privacy rights. If we need more information to process your request, we will contact you by email or, if we do not have an email address on file for you, by the same method you made your request.
If we do not honor your request for legal or other reasons, we will explain why we did not honor your request, your right to appeal, and your right to file a complaint (if available where you live).
