Disclosure Regarding Customer Data. This Privacy Notice does not apply to the personal information that we process on behalf of our customers pursuant to a written agreement we have entered into with such customers (“Customer Data”). Our customers’ respective privacy notices or policies govern their collection and use of Customer Data. Our processing of Customer Data is governed by the contracts that we have in place with our customers, not this Privacy Notice.

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we’ll let you know by posting the updated Privacy Notice on our website, and/or we may also send other communications. 



  1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT


We collect personal information that you provide to us, personal information we collect automatically when you use the Services, and personal information from third-party sources, as described below.


Personal information is treated with industry standard protections. All data is encrypted via SSL/TLS when transmitted from our servers to your browser. The database backups are also encrypted. In addition, we go to great lengths to secure your data at rest.

  1. Personal Information You Provide to Us Directly


We may collect personal information that you provide to us.


  • Account Information. We may collect personal information in connection with the creation or administration of your account. This personal information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, phone number, and other information you store with your account.


  • User-Generated Content. We collect personal information when you submit content through our Services, such as comments, chat messages, uploaded documents, and other content or information that you generate, transmit or otherwise make available on our Services as well as the associated metadata (collectively, “User-Generated Content”) so we can provide you with content creation features.  Our Services use artificial intelligence ("AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) algorithms and technologies, including generative AI, to provide various features, including content creation such as writing emails or memos. As such, third-party providers of this AI technology whose products are integrated into our Services may receive access to your User-Generated Content. We do not use Google Workspace APIs to develop, improve, or train generalized AI and/or ML models.


  • Purchases. We may collect personal information and details associated with your purchases, including payment information. Any payments made via our Services are processed by third-party payment processors. We do not directly collect or store any payment card information entered through our Services, but we may receive information associated with your payment card information (e.g., your billing details).

  • Your Communications with Us. We, and our service providers, may collect the information you communicate to us, such as through email.

  • Surveys. We may contact you to participate in surveys. If you decide to participate, we may collect personal information from you in connection with the survey.

  • Interactive Features. We and others who use our Services may collect personal information that you submit or make available through our interactive features (e.g., social media pages).  Any information you provide using the public sharing features of the Services will be considered “public.”

  • Social Media Information. We have pages on social media sites. When you interact with our social media pages, we will collect personal information that you choose to provide to us, such as your contact details. In addition, the companies that host our social media pages may provide us with aggregate information and analytics related to our social media activity.


  • Conferences, Trade Shows, and Other Events. We may collect personal information from individuals when we attend or host conferences, trade shows, and other events.

We may collect personal information about your use of the Services, such as the pages that you visit, items that you search for, the types of content you interact with, information about the links you click, the frequency and duration of your activities, and other information about how you use the Services.


  • Cookie Notice (and Other Technologies). We, as well as third parties, may use cookies, pixel tags, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect personal information through your use of the Services. 


  • Cookies. Cookies are small text files stored in device browsers.


  • Pixel Tags/Web Beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded in the Services that collects personal information about use of or engagement with the Services. The use of a pixel tag allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited, a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement. We may also include web beacons in e-mails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.

See “Your Privacy Choices” below to understand your choices regarding these Technologies.

We may collect personal information about you from third parties.  For example, if you access the Services using a Third-Party Service (defined below), we may collect personal information about you from that Third-Party Service that you have made available via your privacy settings. In addition, users of the Services may upload or otherwise provide personal information about others. For example, if you choose to link your account with us to a third-party account (such as your Google account), we use the information you allowed us to collect from those third parties to facilitate account creation and logon process. If you use our Services on behalf of, or in collaboration with, an organization (e.g., your employer), that organization may provide us with information about you so that we can provision your account. In addition, users of the Services may upload or otherwise provide personal information about others.
