Please note, email and IP addresses of users of a Ndovucloud deployment may be shared with the respective users of that deployment.

Ndovucloud will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Ndovucloud discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Ndovucloud believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Ndovucloud, third parties, or the public at large.

Ndovucloud takes measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

International Transfer of Information

The Website is hosted in the United States and information we collect will be stored and processed on our servers in the United States. Our employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that process information for us as described above may be located in the United States, India or in other countries outside of your home country; by using the Website, you consent to the international transfer of your information by Ndovucloud.

Ndovucloud Communications with You

If you are a registered user of the Websites and have supplied your email address, Ndovucloud may occasionally send you an email to tell you about security, system information, new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Ndovucloud and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. There’s an unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each of the marketing emails we send you so you can stop receiving such emails at any time.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish your request in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. We will not publish your personally-identifiable information in connection with your request.

Cookies, Tracking Technologies and Do Not Track

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Ndovucloud may use cookies to identify and track visitors, their usage of the Websites, and their Website access preferences. Ndovucloud visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers may set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Websites. Disabling browser cookies may cause certain features of Ndovucloud’s websites to not function properly. Certain pages on the Website may set other third party cookies. For example, we may embed content, such as videos, from another site that sets a cookie. These sites set their own cookies and we do not have access or control over these cookies. The use of cookies by third parties is not covered by our Privacy Policy.

Tracking Technologies

We may use third party tracking services, but we don’t use these services to track you individually or collect your personally identifiable-information. We may use these services to collect information about how the Website performs and how users navigate through and use the Website so we can monitor and improve our content and Website performance. Third party tracking services gather certain simple, non-personally identifying information over time, such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, timestamp, and similar data about your use of the Website. We do not link this information to any of your personal information such as your user name.

Do Not Track

“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference you can set in your browser if you do not want online services to collect and share certain kinds of information about your online activity from third party tracking services. Ndovucloud does not track your online browsing activity on other online services over time and we do not permit third-party services to track your activity on our site beyond our basic tracking, which you may opt out of. Because we do not share this kind of data with third party services or permit this kind of third party data collection for any of our users, and we do not track our users on third-party websites ourselves, we do not need to respond differently to an individual browser’s Do Not Track setting.

Global Privacy Practices

Information we collect will be stored and processed in the United States in accordance with this Privacy Policy but we understand that users from other countries may have different expectations and rights with regard to their privacy. For all Website visitors and users, no matter their country of location, we will:

• provide clear methods of unambiguous, informed consent when we do collect your personal information;
• only collect the minimum amount of personal data necessary for the purpose it is collected for, unless you choose to provide us more;
• offer you simple methods of accessing, correcting, or deleting your information that we have collected, with the exception of information you voluntarily provide that is necessary to retain as is for the integrity of our project code as described further below;
• and provide Website users notice, choice, accountability, security, and access, and we limit the purpose for processing. We also provide our users a method of recourse and enforcement.

If you are located in the European Union, you are entitled to the following rights with regard to your personal information and data:

• Right of access to your personal data, to know what information about you we hold.
• Right to correct any incorrect or incomplete personal data about yourself that we hold.
• Right to restrict or suspend our processing of your personal data.
• Right to complain to a supervisory authority if you believe your privacy rights are being violated.

Additional rights that may apply to you in certain instances:

• Right to withdraw consent at any time (if processing is based on consent).
• Right to object to processing (if processing is based on legitimate interests).
• Right to object to processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes.
• Right of erasure of your personal data from our system (“right to be forgotten”) if certain grounds are met.

To exercise your privacy rights, you can email us at the address given below in the ‘Contacting Ndovucloud About Your Privacy’ section of this Privacy Policy.

Data Retention and Deletion

If you already have an account on the Websites, you may access, update, alter, or delete your basic user profile information by logging into your account and updating profile settings.

Ndovucloud will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to perform our contractual obligations, provide you services through the Website, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, preserve legal rights, or enforce our agreements.

Please note that due to the open source nature of our products, services, and community, we may retain limited personally-identifiable information indefinitely in order to ensure transactional integrity and nonrepudiation. For example, if you provide your information in connection with a blog post, GitHub issue or comment, we may display that information even if you have deleted your account as we do not automatically delete community posts. Also, as described in our Terms of Use, if you contribute to a Ndovucloud project and provide your personal information in connection with that contribution, that information (including your name) will be embedded and publicly displayed with your contribution and we will not be able to delete or erase it because doing so would break the project code.
