Privacy Notice @ AcceleratorApp

We consider that personal data means any information which allows us to identify you, whether directly or indirectly.

Common examples are social security numbers, credit cards number or driving license numbers. However, personal data can also include electronic data, such as cookies, passwords, e-mails, online identifiers, pixels, mobile IDs, IP addresses, etc.

In some cases, a piece of information might not constitute a personal data on its own (e.g. the color of your hair), but may become personal data when combined with other information because it would allow us to identify you.

The definition of personal data changes from one country to another country, or from one law to another law - so we try to adopt a large and generous interpretation to protect our users and subscribers.

We process your personal data for our own purposes, based on either your consent, a contract with us, or our legitimate interests, such as ensuring the security of our Services, or for direct marketing purposes.

We process users’ personal data on behalf of customers for the purposes of delivering the Services. Customers should have their own privacy notices providing information on how they handle your data. Our Services allow incubators and accelerators to create forms to score users. As long as they comply with our Terms of Use, they are free to ask any questions that they see fit, and your responses will be handled in accordance with their privacy notices.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties, such as data brokers.

• Service providers. We use Amazon Web Services to host our website, and a number of third party service providers for specific functionalities. For instance, SendGrid is used to send coaching invitations to users as part of the Services.
• Auditors and consultants. We may have to share your personal data with auditors and other third parties who work with us to help us comply with laws and improve our services. If we need to do this, we ensure that a non-confidentiality agreement is in place.
• Advertising partners. We do collect behavioural information about Website Users. This behavioural information is shared with third-party partners to conduct interest-based advertising. If you would like more information on how we use your personal data for interest-based advertising and how some of your information may be shared with third parties in this context, clickhere. We do not conduct interest-based advertising as part of the Services. This means that we do not collect your behavioural information for marketing purposes while a user is connected in the secure portal. Only website user are targeted. However, we may collect your behavioural information as part of our Services for other operational purposes, such as analytics, performance or personalization.
• Analytics and Performance Partners We share your personal data with third parties to measure our performance and increase our conversion rates. These third parties provide us with analytics, which can then be used to segment users based on demographic information, custom events and user or session activity as part of our interest-based advertising activities. These partners do not use your personal data for their own benefits. They only provide us with services to conduct analytics, diagnosticate issues, and improve our marketing strategy. We only allow our employees to see such data on a need-to-know basis, and subject to a non-disclosure agreement. Consult ourCookie Policy to learn how we leverage cookies and tracking technologies, including for interest-based advertising.
• Social Medias We use social medias to advertise and conduct re-targeting as explained in our Cookie Policy. We also use social medias to respond to you when you interact with us. Social medias can also be used by website user and user to share content, in which case we may collect electronic data, such as the time and data that you visited the page for sharing.

Our website and Services are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Our Master Subscription Agreement with our Customer states where personal data will be hosted. By default, personal data is hosted based on the following parameters:

Our website is hosted by AWS, United States.

Service Providers can process and store personal data elsewhere than as stated above, including, without limitation, in the United States.

We store users personal data as long as our agreement with customer is in force, unless your data is deleted by customer (through an admin licence) or by yourself when using the Services. Once our agreement with the customer ends, for any reasons, we will delete all the data associated with the customer after 30 days. Backups are deleted according to normal schedule.

We encrypt personal data at rest and in transit. This means your personal data is not in plain view. A key is needed to see the personal data in plain view.

We perform intrusion testing annually using an independent party. Intrusion testing means that we hire some good guys who also happen to be hackers, and we ask them to give it a try with our web application! If they find any vulnerabilities, they let us know so we can fix it.

All our employees are under confidentiality agreements, and we enforce access controls, meaning that access to your personal data is only possible on a need-to-know basis.

We use peer review, automated testing and manual testing as part of our secure coding habits when we develop our web application. As part our peer review, we analyze our architecture security and performance.
