  • We may share each of the categories of Personal Data we collect with the types of third-parties described below, for the following business purposes:
    • Sharing with Users and the Public: We may share your Personal Data with other users of the Services and with the public if you choose to make your Profile public. You have control over what information is public. To change your settings, go to User Settings in your profile. You should also be aware that any information you may be publicly available and you should consider this carefully when interacting with the Services.
    • Sharing with Managed Accounts and Administrators: If you have created a iterateBUILD account with your corporate email address, we may share your Personal Data with your Company if your Company enters into a commercial relationship with iterateBUILD. If this happens, then your use of the software and your account is subject to the terms and any data protection agreement between your Company and iterateBUILD.

      In the event you change the email address on your account from a corporate email address to a personal email address and, thereafter, your Company enters into a commercial relationship with iterateBUILD, your Personal Data related to that account will not be shared with your Company.

      iterateBUILD will not link an account to a Company based on retroactive use of a corporate email. In addition, if you choose to become a member of an account, your username, email address, IP address, the date when access was granted, the date when access expires, and your access role will be shared with the group owners of that account.
    • Sharing with Service Providers: We may share your Personal Data with our service providers. These are companies who provide services on our behalf, such as hosting our Services, marketing, advertising, social, analytics, support ticketing, credit card processing, security and other such similar services.

      These companies are subject to contractual requirements that govern the security and confidentiality of your information. For example, we use analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand the operation and performance of our Services. To learn about how Google uses and shares data it collects through its services, please visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
    • Sharing with Partners and Resellers: iterateBUILD may work with third-parties who provide sales, consulting, support and technical services for our Services. Where permitted and with your consent (if required), we may share your data with these partners and resellers.
    • Sharing for Fraud and Prevention Abuse: We may share your information when we have a good faith belief that the disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, abuse of our services, defend against attacks, and to protect the safety of iterateBUILD, our users or the public at large.
    • Law Enforcement: iterateBUILD may disclose Personal Data or other information we collect about you to law enforcement if required in response to a valid subpoena, court order, search warrant, a similar government order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to protect our property or rights, or those of third-parties or the public at large.
    • Merger or Acquisition: We may share your Personal Data if we are involved in a merger, sale, or acquisition of corporate entities or business units. If any such change of ownership happens, we will ensure that it is under terms that preserve the confidentiality of your Personal Data, and we will notify you on our website or by email before any transfer of your Personal Data.

Sharing Personal Data across national borders

Our Services are hosted in the United States and information we collect will be stored and processed on servers in the United States. Our employees, contractors, affiliated organizations, service providers, and sub-processors that process Personal Data may be located in the United States or other countries outside of your home country.

If you reside in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, and we transfer information about you to a jurisdiction that has not been found by the European Commission to have adequate data protections, we will use available safeguards and legal mechanisms to help ensure your rights and protections, including using Standard Contractual Clauses or obtaining your consent.

How does iterateBUILD Secure my Personal Data?

iterateBUILD and its partners work hard to protect your Personal Data. We employ administrative, technical, and physical security controls where appropriate, to protect your information.

Data Retention

In order to protect your Personal Data, iterateBUILD will only retain your Personal Data for as long as your account is active or as needed to perform our contractual obligations, provide you the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, preserve legal rights, or enforce our agreements.

iterateBUILD reserves the right to delete inactive accounts, projects, namespaces, and associated content. iterateBUILD may deem an account, project, or namespace inactive based on various criteria, including, but not limited to, the account creation date, the last time there was a valid log-in, and the date of the last contribution. If we plan to delete your account or data, we will provide advance notice by sending a message to the email address registered to your account. iterateBUILD encourages you to utilize your account on occasion to avoid the risk of being deemed inactive.

What are my rights and choices regarding Personal Data?

  • You have the right to access, correct, restrict or delete your Personal Data, and to port your Personal Data to another company. While these rights may vary by jurisdiction, iterateBUILD provides you with the same rights and choices, no matter where you live. We provide these rights free of charge unless your requests are manifestly unfounded and excessive. You may exercise your choices and rights as follows:
    • To opt out of email marketing: You may opt-out of email marketing by clicking the “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of any marketing email you receive. You may continue to receive transactional email messages about your account and the Service after you have unsubscribed.
    • To opt-out of Interest-based advertising: If you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising, please visit the Cookie Policy to see your options.
    • Request a copy of your information: You may request a copy of the Personal Data that iterateBUILD has about you.
    • Update your Information: If you already have an account, you may access, update, or alter your user profile information by logging into your account and updating profile settings.
    • To delete your Account: If you only want to delete your SaaS account, you may do so by logging into your account and going to the “Delete my Account” option in your profile settings.

      If your account is tied to a Company that has entered into a commercial relationship with iterateBUILD, you will have to ask your Company administrator to remove your account from that corporate namespace before we can delete it. Once your account is no longer associated with that corporate namespace, iterateBUILD will process your deletion request according to the process stated herein.

      Please note that due to the nature of our Services, we may retain limited Personal Data indefinitely in order to provide a transactional history. For example, if you provide your information in connection with a blog post or comment, we may display that information even if you have deleted your account as we do not automatically delete community posts. Also, if you contribute to a public project (not owned by iterateBUILD) or community library, and you provide your Personal Data in connection with that contribution, your Personal Data 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 things.

      If you contribute to a iterateBUILD owned project or account by commenting in, or creating a work item or digital artifact and you provide your Personal Data in connection with that contribution, your Personal Data associated with your contribution will be deleted and attributed to a ghost user. However, please note that if the content of the contribution contains Personal Data, this information would remain and you will need to submit a specific request to have this information deleted.
    • To inform your Supervisory Authority: In the unlikely event you disagree with our handling of your request, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
