3. DATA COLLECTION

3.1 Software Versions

UpRaise softwares come in two deployment versions to support corresponding variations in Jira - Cloud & Server. Server instances are hosted within your infrastructure, neither we have any control nor any visibility into them.

Apart from your technical contact & billing contact we do not receive any additional details in case of Server version of our software. We will only use the technical & billing contacts to initiate product onboarding & to communicate billing information. Thus for the server (or data center or on-premise) version of our software - responsibility of data security & infrastructure lies with you.

Majority of the clauses defined in this privacy policy apply to the Cloud version of our software, in which case your data is hosted on our servers.

3.2 Why do we collect personal information

Your personal information is collected in order to provide the best possible experience with our software. Personal information is a broad concept & refers to any data points that can help identify an individual. 

For example, your email addresses are collected to send out email notifications related to app features. Without email address our products/services will fail to provide you the desired experience. We do not store your email address (received through Jira/Confluence integration) into our database but are rather stored temporarily until the emails are dispatched. Exception is when you store email address as 'user content'.

Any neutralised (also called anonymised) data does not fall under the purview of personal information. Your personal information is neutralised before being used for analysing product usage patterns.

3.3 How do we collect personal information

The software collects your personal information either directly from you or through its integration with Jira. Without this information, the software may not be able to provide you with the desired functionality.

3.4 Personal information you provide to us

If you create, input, submit, post, upload, transmit, and/or store information (“User Content”) while using our services, your Personal information such as name, email address or other contact information will be associated with that User Content. For example, information regarding a problem you are experiencing with the Software could be submitted to our Support Services or posted in our public forums. Any information, including Personal Information, that you submit to our Websites could be visible to the public unless submitted to a secure area in the Website.


3.5 Personal information we collect from your use of software

Log files: When you interact with the Software, we generate log files to help us operate and improve our Services. Web log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses as well as browser type, internet service provider, URLs of referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, information you search for, locale and language preferences and system configuration information. For our Cloud Services, the information we collect includes the URLs you accessed, usernames as well as elements of content (such as Jira project names, project keys, status names, and JQL filters, and Confluence page titles and space names) as necessary for the Cloud Services to perform the requested operations. Occasionally, we collect Personal Data to information gathered in our log files as necessary to improve our Services for individual customers.

Usage Data: “Usage Data” is aggregated data about a group or category of services, features or users that should not contain Personal Information. If Usage Data contains Personal Information, it is a byproduct of our efforts to understand broader patterns and trends. It is not a concerted effort by us to examine the content of any particular user. By agreeing to this privacy policy, you agree to provide us with analytics information related to our Cloud & Server software usage. We may or may not provide the facility to opt-out of this information sharing. This information is used to improve the product & any corollary services.

Installer Analytics, Software Updates & License Information from Server Version: During the installation of Software (specifically Server version), the installer sends analytics information to us to understand where in the installation process users are experiencing trouble or dropping out.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: We use various technologies to collect information, including cookies.

3.6 Personal information we collect from other sources

In order to provide you with certain services, we may obtain Personal Information from our third-party service providers to verify and confirm the information you have submitted. For example, if you log into our Software through a third-party service, that service will share your Personal Information with us.

3.6 With whom do we share your personal information

Our third-party service providers: Some of the services we provide require the involvement of our third-party service providers, such as web hosting providers, application development, maintenance, virtual infrastructure (including storage and backup), communications providers, customer relationship management providers, and software providers. We have carefully selected these third-parties and have taken steps to ensure that your Personal Information is adequately protected.

We do not share your Personal Information with third-parties for their marketing purposes (including direct marketing).

Compliance with Laws and Legal Requests: We may disclose your Personal Information to a third-party if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.

Protection of Our Services: We may disclose your Personal Information to a third-party, if we believe it is reasonably necessary to (a) to enforce our agreements, policies and terms of service; (b) to protect the security or integrity of the product and services; (c) to protect our product, our customers or the public from harm or illegal activities; or (d) to respond to an emergency which we believe in the good faith requires us to disclose information to assist in preventing the death or serious bodily injury of any person.
