DataViz Privacy Policy

Introduction

At DataViz, we have always taken your privacy very seriously. We are NOT in the business of selling, renting or disclosing your personally identifiable information to third parties. DataViz has been in business for more than 30 years and we have always collected as little personal information as possible. The information that we collect is solely for the purposes of connecting with our customers,  understanding their needs, and seamless operation of our products.

We have created this statement to describe our commitment to your privacy. This policy applies to the information that we collect about you when you use and purchase our software products and services, and visit our website. (The software, services and website are collectively referred to as “the Services” below.) The following details of the policy describe the information that we collect and how we use it.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, we may need to update this Privacy Policy occasionally. We encourage you to check this page from time to time for any changes. If we do need to make changes, we will notify you by revising the Change Log at the bottom of this page. If there is a significant change, we will provide additional notice by adding a statement to our homepage and/or by sending you an email (and seeking your consent if required). Your further use of the Services after a change to our Privacy Policy will be subject to the updated policy.

Information That We Collect & How We Use It

We only collect information about you to provide the Services, to communicate with you, or to make the Services better. We collect this information when you provide it to us or automatically through operating the Services. We do not receive any additional information about you from outside sources.

  • We collect your name and email address which you provide to us when creating your account. We use this to identify your account to store your DailyBalance data for backup and to enable syncing across all of your devices.
  • We also prompt you to create a password for your account. Your password is securely stored using industry best practices to encrypt and obscure your password so that it cannot be read by anyone at DataViz. If you forget your password, you will need to reset it via the Account page on our website. This password is only used to verify your identity when logging into our website or into a DailyBalance client application.
  • We automatically store your DailyBalance data files on our secure servers. Your data is kept encrypted at all times that it is on our servers. All data is transferred between your device and the server over a secure SSL connection. We do not have access to the content (e.g. Tasks, Triggers, etc.) stored in your data files.
  • When you install DailyBalance on a new device and log into your account, we automatically collect the name associated with your device, operating system and device type. We use this information to allow you to identify the devices associated with your account and to allow you to sync your data across your devices. We may also use the operating system and device type information in aggregate to improve the product.
  • When you use DailyBalance, we may also automatically collect usage information (e.g. counts of the number of Tasks, Triggers, etc.) that you have in your DailyBalance data. We use this information in aggregate to understand general usage patterns of our user base and improve the quality of the product.
  • We do not track or capture any of the content of your DailyBalance data (e.g., Tasks, Triggers, etc).

Use of Email to Contact You:

  • For all of our products, we may use the email address that you provided to us to contact you for the following reasons:
    • Product operational events such as when you add a device to your account, password reset requests, and payment confirmations.
    • Keep you informed of major new releases of our products.
    • Provide helpful hints and tips on how to use our products.
    • Make special offers that we extend only to our registered customers.
  • See the Unsubscribe link on our website to set your email preferences. You can opt out of promotional emails but we will still contact you with product operational emails, e.g., reset password requests, payment confirmations, etc.

Purchasing Information:

  • If you purchase through an “app store” (e.g., Apple, Google Play, etc.), DataViz does not receive any of your payment information.
  • If you purchase through the DataViz website, we integrate FastSpring as a third party payment processor who collects and stores your purchasing information. DataViz does not store any credit card or other payment information.

Technical Support:

  • You may provide us an additional email when you contact us for support that is different than your account email. We do not store this email or add it to our mailing lists unless requested. We will only use that email for the purpose of the support case.
  • If you run into a more complicated technical issue, we may ask you to email or upload log files. These log files may contain additional information about your data and usage patterns, but are necessary for troubleshooting. These files are stored on our secure servers while your case is open and are purged shortly after your case is resolved.

Information Storage and Security

The information that we store is kept in a secure cloud service within the United States. DataViz uses a third party cloud computing partner to provide the necessary storage and related technology required to store your data and run our products. This third party is a host but does not have access to the content of your data.
