Microsoft

Microsoft provides the database and server technology for our online service LogTag Online via its Azure platform. You can find the respective privacy policy by following this link: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/trusted-cloud/privacy/.

Twilio, WhatsApp and email-to-SMS providers

We use third party provider Twilio to deliver Email and Text messages in relation to our Services. For some clients, we also offer the use of WhatsApp as a convenient replacement for text messaging. In the US, users can select carrier provided email-to-SMS gateways in the account setup.

For Twilio, WhatsApp and the carrier provided email-to-SMS gateways to effectively manage these Services, we must pass certain information to them, including phone numbers, email addresses the contents of the messages to be passed on to the final destination and other potentially Personally Identifiable Information. Although our Third-party partners have an obligation under our agreement with them, once we have handed over this information, we can no longer control how the data is used beyond its intended purpose, and it falls within the individual provider's policies. If you wish to know more please refer to Twilio's Privacy Statement, which you can access on their website at https://www.twilio.com/legal/privacy, and to WhatsApp's Privacy Policy at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy. If you select carrier provided email-to-SMS gateways please refer to the policies published on your carrier's website.

Apple App Store and Google Play

Parts of our Service are delivered to you via App stores for iOS and Android devices. To make use of these Apps, you must have an account with the App provider and agree to the App provider's privacy policy and terms and conditions. You can find the respective policies at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/privacy, for your specific country.

PagerDuty

We allow you to send email messages via PagerDuty, a message and notification aggregation service. These messages are delivered to a PagerDuty account you nominate, and to which you are authorized to send data. Although no personal data is transferred to PagerDuty, data that forms the messages includes, but is not limited to, information about your location. Once sent, we can no longer control how the data is used beyond its intended purpose, and it falls within the individual provider's policies. If you wish to know more please refer to PagerDuty's Privacy Statement and Terms of Use, which you can access on their website at https://www.pagerduty.com/privacy-policy/.

Stripe

Our LogTag® Online Service allows members of your team with administration privileges to purchase authorization codes using a credit card. LogTag North America uses Stripe, Inc ("Stripe"), a financial services and 'software as a service (SaaS)' company to provide this functionality to you. To link a purchase transaction to your user account, LogTag North America must store a unique identifier that links your team name to Stripe's user ID. This identifier is generated the first time you invoke the Payment Portal via the Service and is permanently linked to your user account.

Although the user experience appears seamless, all financial transactions are completely conducted inside the Stripe Payment Portal. Payment data related to financial transactions is not stored by us, although the result of the transaction is processed by the Service, including, but not limited to, the date of the transaction and what you purchased. For example, we cannot see any credit card details, but will be able to determine the number of activation codes you purchased, when you purchased them and what they were allocated to.

Although we constantly monitor Stripe's performance as a Payment Services Provider, the financial transactions are solely the responsibility of Stripe, Inc., and any personal information you provide to Stripe is governed by Stripe's Privacy Statement and Terms & Conditions, which you can access on their website at https://stripe.com/privacy.

We have disabled the option to save credit card information in the Stripe Payment Portal, as this would allow other users, to whom you have granted access to your team, to purchase authorization codes on your behalf.

If you do not agree to the terms published by Stripe, Inc, please do not use credit card payments to purchase authorization codes.
