Winfosoft Hosted and Non-Hosted Services Privacy Policy

Scope

This policy covers the privacy practices that Winfosoft and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Winfosoft” or “we”) employ when providing support, consulting, Cloud or other services (the “services”) to its customers (“you” or “your”). Winfosoft established this privacy policy in order to clarify that the use of information to which it may be provided access in order to provide services is more limited than the use of information covered by Winfosoft’s general privacy policy.

Customer Information and Services Data

Customer Information is information that we may collect from your use of Winfosoft’s services and your interactions with us offline. We deal with customer information according to the terms of our general privacy policy.
Services Data is data that resides on Winfosoft, customer or third-party systems to which Winfosoft is provided access to perform services (including Cloud environments as well as test, development and production environments that may be accessed to perform Winfosoft consulting and support services). Winfosoft treats services data according to the terms of this policy, and treats services data as confidential in accordance with the terms of your order for services.
To illustrate the difference between customer information and services data, when a customer contracts with Winfosoft for Cloud services, the customer provides information about itself, including its name, address, billing information, and some employee contact information. Winfosoft may also collect other information about the customer and some employees, for example through its web sites, as part of that interaction. All that information is customer information, and is treated according to Winfosoft’s general privacy policy.
In contrast, having contracted with Winfosoft for Cloud or other services, the customer provides Winfosoft access to its production, development or test environment, which may include personal information about its employees, customers, partners or suppliers (collectively “end users”).

How Winfosoft Collects and Uses Services Data

Below are the conditions under which Winfosoft may access, collect and/or use services data.

To Provide Services and to Fix Issues. Services data may be accessed and used to perform services under your order for support, consulting, Cloud or other services and to confirm your compliance with the terms of your order. This may include testing and applying new product or system versions, patches, updates and upgrades; monitoring and testing system use and performance; and resolving bugs and other issues you have reported to Winfosoft. Any copies of services data created for these purposes are only maintained for time periods relevant to those purposes.
As a Result of Legal Requirements. Winfosoft may be required to retain or provide access to services data to comply with legally mandated reporting, disclosure or other legal process requirements.
Winfosoft may transfer and access services data globally as required for the purposes specified above. If Winfosoft hires subcontractors to assist in providing services, their access to services data will be consistent with the terms of your order for services and this services privacy policy. Winfosoft is responsible for its subcontractors’ compliance with the terms of this policy and your order.
Winfosoft does not use services data except as stated above or in your order. Winfosoft may process services data, but does not control your collection or use practices for services data. If you provide any services data to Winfosoft, you are responsible for providing any notices and/or obtaining any consents necessary for Winfosoft to access, use, retain and transfer services data as specified in this policy and your order.

Access Controls

Winfosoft’s access to services data is based on job role/responsibility. Services data residing in Winfosoft-hosted systems is controlled via an access control list (ACL) mechanism, role-based access controls (RBAC), as well as the use of an account management framework. You control access to services data by your end users; end users should direct any requests related to their personal information to you.

Security and Breach Notification

Winfosoft is committed to the security of your services data, and has in place physical, administrative and technical measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to that information. Winfosoft security policies cover the management of security for both its internal operations as well as the services. These policies govern all areas of security applicable to services and apply to all Winfosoft employees. Winfosoft’s Support, Consulting and Cloud lines of business have developed detailed statements of security practices that apply to many of their service offerings, which are available for review at your request.
Winfosoft is also committed to reducing risks of human error, theft, fraud, and misuse of Winfosoft facilities. Winfosoft’s efforts include making personnel aware of security policies and training employees to implement security policies. Winfosoft employees are required to maintain the confidentiality of services data. Employees’ obligations include written confidentiality agreements, regular training on information protection, and compliance with company policies concerning protection of confidential information.
Winfosoft promptly evaluates and responds to incidents that create suspicions of unauthorized handling of services data. Winfosoft is informed of such incidents and, depending on the nature of the activity, define escalation paths and response teams to address the incidents. If Winfosoft determines that your services data has been misappropriated (including by an Winfosoft employee) or otherwise wrongly acquired by a third party, Winfosoft will promptly report such misappropriation or acquisition to you.

Dispute Resolution

If you have any complaints regarding our compliance with this privacy policy, you should first contact us. We will investigate and attempt to resolve complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of personal information in accordance with this privacy policy.

Compliance

Winfosoft has appointed a Chief Privacy Officer. If you believe your services data has been used in a way that is not consistent with this policy, or if you have further questions related to this policy, please contact the Chief Privacy Officer through our inquiry form.
