Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains how Tacnode US Inc. (“Tacnode”, “we”, “our” or “us”) collect, store, use, disclose and otherwise process information about you in the course of our business, including through our websites that link to this Notice (such as, tacnode.io) (the “Sites”), our generally available products and services hosted by or on behalf of Tacnode (the “Service”) and through other means such as our and our partner’s events, sales and marketing activities.

About Our Service

We provide the Service to our customers under an agreement with them and solely for their benefit. Our customers designate which of their personnel (such as third party contractors, agents, etc.) are authorized as users of the customer’s Service account (“Authorized Users”). Authorized Users may access and use the Service subject to the agreement between Tacnode and the customer as well as any applicable laws.

Tacnode processes Customer Content solely on behalf of the customer and that customer is responsible for the collection and use of your data.

8. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information

Tacnode US Inc. is the data controller of your personal information collected pursuant to this Notice unless the information is collected in circumstances where one of our affiliates is running a local event, training session or survey, for example, and they collect and control that information.

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements, to enforce our agreements or comply with our legal obligations). When establishing a retention period for specific categories of personal information, we consider who we collected the data from, our need for the personal information, why we collected the personal information, and the sensitivity of the personal information. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either permanently delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. When processing Customer Content on behalf of our customers, we will retain Customer Content as described in our agreement with that customer.
