Information we collect from you

We collect and store content that you create, input, submit, post, upload or transmit in the process of using our SaaS. Such content may include any personal information or other sensitive information that you choose to provide ("incidentally-collected Personal Information"). We may also collect personal information such as your name and email address, the IP address being used for the current session amongst other data.

Information we collect about you from others

In some cases, another user (such as a system administrator) may create an account on your behalf and may provide your information, including Personal Information (most commonly when your Council requests that you use our SaaS).  If you are an employee of one of our customers and would no longer like us to store your information, please contact your employer. If you are providing information (including Personal Information) about someone else, you must have the authority to act for them and to consent to the collection and use of their Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
