Information We Collect And Receive

Pupbot may collect and receive Customer Data, and other information and data (“Other Information”) in a variety of ways:

• Customer Data. Customers or individuals invited to use a Standup by a Customer (“Authorized Users”) routinely submit Customer Data to Pupbot when using the Services.

In order to use Pupbot Services, Personal Data provided by the Customer directly or indirectly (invitation to access Personal Data from a Workspace, or other) are accessible by Pupbot in order to generate and/or operate Standups. Authorized Users may provide Pupbot with their Personal Data directly at instances, for example when they provide feedback or request client support or in any way communicate with Pupbot. Pupbot will not collect or use any sensitive personal data unless Pupbot has received an express consent regarding the specific data.




• Other Information. Pupbot also collects, generates and/or receives Other Information:

  
  
  1. Standup, Workspace and Account Information. Teams use Pupbot services and its capabilities to achieve efficient collaboration, better results and communication among members. To use, create or update a standup, you or your Customer (e.g., your employer) supply Pupbot with information that may include an email address, phone number, password, domain and/or similar account details. In addition, Customers provide Pupbot (or its payment processors) with billing details such as credit card information, banking information and/or a billing address and/or email address.
  2. Usage Information.

  • Services Metadata. When an Authorized User interacts with the Services, metadata is generated that provides additional context about the way Authorized Users work.
