Privacy Policy

This is a summary of our new privacy policy as the latest revision effective Jan 1, 2019. It covers BOAST Groupware, and all of the modules, products and services contained within.

Our privacy commitment: BOAST will not sell your information to someone else for advertising, marketing or other promotional purposes. This policy tells you what information we do collect from you, what we do with it, who can access it, and what you can do about it.

Part I – Information BOAST collects and controls

We only collect the information that we actually need to provide you the best level of service and to make improvements to our software. We store your name and contact information, but we don't store credit card numbers (except with your permission and with appropriate levels of security).

When you utilize our software, we automatically log information pertaining to how you accessed BOAST, where you navigated within it, and what features and settings you use.

Sometimes we receive information indirectly. If you ask about our products through one of our referral programs or reselling partners, or through internet sites, we'll use that information to complete the request that you made. If you engage with our brand on social media (for instance, liking, commenting, retweeting, mentioning, or following us), we'll have access to your interactions and profile information. We'll still have that information even if you later remove it from the social media site.

What we do with your information

We use your information to provide the services you've requested, create and maintain your accounts, and keep an eye out for unauthorized activity on your accounts. We also use it to communicate with you about the products you're currently using, your customer support requests, new products you may like, chances for you to give us feedback, and policy updates. We analyze the information we collect to understand user needs and to improve our websites and services.

You can decline certain kinds of information use either by not providing the information in the first place or by opting out later. You can also disable cookies to prevent your browser from giving us information, but if you do so, certain website features may not work properly.

We limit access to your personal information to our employees and contractors who have a legitimate need to use it. If we share your information with other parties they must have appropriate security measures and would only be provided this information on a need to know basis, typically to serve you.

We keep your personal information for as long as it is required for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will delete, anonymize, or isolate your information, whichever is appropriate.

Part II – Information that BOAST processes on your behalf

The data you provide to BOAST is called service data.

You own and are accountable for your service data. We protect it, limit access to it, and only process it according to our terms and conditions and privacy policy. You may access it, share it through third-party integrations, and request that we export or delete it.

We hold the data in your account as long as you choose to use BOAST. After you terminate your account, your data will be automatically archived from our active database and may be deleted after 3 months. Upon termination of your use of BOAST you can request in writing, within 30 days, to be provided a copy of the data you have entered into BOAST. BOAST will deliver this data to you via an appropriate means, as defined by us, within 30 days of your written request.

Part III – General

There are some limitations to the privacy, mostly pertaining to legalities. We will disclose personal information if it's necessary to comply with a legal obligation, prevent fraud, enforce an agreement, or protect our users' safety.

Third-party websites and social media widgets have their own separate privacy policies. Always check the relevant privacy policy before sharing personal information with third parties.

You can always contact us to: ask questions about our privacy practices, request our full privacy policy, alert us if you believe we have collected personal data inappropriately, or ask to have your personal information removed from our blogs or forums. We will contact you to let you know if we make any major changes to our privacy policy. Copies of our full privacy policy are available upon request by contacting sales@boastgw.com.
