Autorabit

Privacy Policy

Introduction And Our Commitment

This privacy policy (“Policy”) describes how AutoRABIT Holding, Inc. and its related companies (collectively “Company”) collect, use and share information of users of our website at www.autorabit.com (the “Site”) and of our customers and prospective customers, along with the personal information we process on behalf of our customers, contractors, employees and business partners; and how AutoRABIT adheres to privacy requirements under various regulations in terms of collection, storage, processing, usage and disposal of personal information.

AutoRABIT is committed to international compliance with data protection laws as part of our commitment to conducting our business ethically and to observing applicable laws, rules and regulations.  AutoRABIT has chosen to standardize its practices based upon certain laws and regulations. Its privacy program aligns closely with the key principles of the European Union and United Kingdom’s General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’), the Health Information and Protection and Portability Act (“HIPPA”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Harmonizing our practices to these standards keeps us focused on these key principles:  lawfulness, fairness and transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality (security), and accountability.

We ask that you read this Policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are, how and why we collect, store, use, and share personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information and on how to contact us and supervisory authorities in the event you have a question or complaint about our handling of personal information.

Some Definitions

This policy uses terms that are defined in the GDPR or HIPPA. We have listed some of these terms for you here:

Business Associate: Under HIPAA, a Business Associate is a person or entity that performs certain functions or activities that involve the use or disclosure of protected health information for a Covered Entity.

Covered Entity: HIPAA defines a covered entity as health care providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses involved in the transmission of protected health information (PHI). This transmission can take place for payment, treatment, operations, billing, or insurance coverage. Covered entities can include organizations, institutions, or persons.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA): HIPAA is a United States legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding PHI.

Personal Information (PI): PI is any data that could potentially identify a specific individual. Any information that can be used to distinguish one person from another is considered as PI. All personal identity information is mapped to PI. Examples of PI include email address, bank account information, and social security number.

Protected Health Information (PHI): Information, in any format, that is created or received by AutoRABIT and relates to the past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition of a patient; the provision of health care to a patient; or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to a patient; and that identifies the patient or for which there is a reasonable basis to believe the information can be used to identify the patient.

Who We Are

AutoRABIT is a provider of cloud-based CI/CD and release management services designed for Salesforce.com, including Automated Release Management, Vault Data Backup and Recovery, AutoRABIT CI/CD Platform, IDE Extensions, and CodeScan.

AutoRABIT collects, uses and is responsible for certain PI about you. When we do so, as noted above, we harmonize our practices to conform with the GDPR and the CCPA. We are responsible as controller of that information for the purposes of those laws.

AutoRABIT also processes PI on behalf of and at the direction of our customers as part of provisioning AutoRABIT’s suite of services, in which case AutoRABIT is acting as the processor of PI. In some instances, AutoRABIT performs services for some entities that are Covered Entities under HIPPA. Performing services on behalf of Covered Entities may, on occasion, involve the use or disclosure of PHI in which case AutoRABIT is a Business Associate. AutoRABIT is fully committed to implementing the measures of data protection and privacy wherever PHI is involved.

Why We Share Your Information & With Whom

We may share information as follows:

  • We may share information, with your consent, with our third party advertising partners for their own marketing uses. Those uses will be subject to their privacy policies.
  • We may share your PI with our contractors, partners, or affiliates, with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide you with additional information that you have requested or authorized. For example, when you request a product demo, we share your contact information with our CRM partner in order to place you on a mailing list that allows our demand generation team to contact you in order to set up the product demo that you requested.
  • We may share information with other corporate entities when we do a business deal, or negotiate a business deal, involving the sale or transfer of all or a part of our business or assets. These deals can include any merger, financing, acquisition, or bankruptcy transaction or proceeding. If AutoRABIT is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of part or all of it business, we may share your PI in connection with that activity.

  • We may share information in an emergency. This includes protecting the safety of our employees and agents, our customers, or any person.
  • We may share PI with vendors, agents, and service providers working on our behalf for the purposes described in this Policy. For example, companies that we’ve hired to provide customer service support may need access to PI in order to provide those functions.

Some of those third-party recipients may be based outside the European Economic Area — for further information including on how we safeguard your personal data when this occurs, see Transfer Of Your Information Out Of The EEA.

Whether Information Has To Be Provided By You And Why

AutoRABIT endevours to follow each jurisdication’s requirements for opt-in or opt-out of business solicitations. We avoid sending marketing emails to businesses located in jurisdictions that require opt-in to such solicitions.

If you live in an opt-out jurisidiction, you have the option to “opt-out” of our marketing emails. Each of our marketing emails will have a link that allows you to “unsubscribe” from our mailing list.

The provision of cookies and other tracking technologies are required from you to enable us to identify you and your user preferences, and track your use of our website in order to analyze and improve our website’s user experience. You can remove and reject cookies from our Site with your browser settings. Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings. If you remove or reject our cookies, it could affect how our Site works for you.

How Long Your Information Will Be Kept

We will hold your PI for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy. When assessing these periods, we carefully examine our need to collect PI at all and if we establish a relevant need, we only hold it for the shortest amount of time to achieve the purpose of collection unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Reasons We Can Collect And Use Your Information

We share your PI with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide you with additional information that you have requested or authorized. For example, when you request a product demo, we share your contact information with our CRM partner in order to place you on a mailing list that allows our demand generation team to contact you in order to set up the product demo that you requested.

In addition, we share PI among AutoRABIT-controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. We also share PI with vendors and agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this Policy. For example, companies that we’ve hired to provide customer service support may need access to PI in order to provide those functions.

If you are from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the PI described above will depend on the PI concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect and use PI from you where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data-protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Typically, our legitimate interests include improving, maintaining, providing, and enhancing our technology, products, and services; ensuring the security of the services and our Site; and for our marketing activities.

When acting as a Processor for one of the AutoRABIT customers, we process PI in accordance with the customer’s instructions.

Cross-Border Transfers Of Your PI

If you are in the EEA, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or other country that regulates the cross-border flow of PI, your information may be transferred outside of your home jurisdiction to the United States where our primary office and servers are located, and to India where we have sales and technical support teams available to assist you.

Accordingly, your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States and India. While the data protection, privacy, and other laws of the United States and India might not be as comprehensive as those in the EEA or other countries, we take many steps to protect your privacy, including the use of approved Model Contractual Clauses for the international transfer of PI collected in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

Those processing your PI will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

However, no collection or transfer of information via the Internet is guaranteed to be 100% secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of such information. We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator as required by applicable law.
