Straticom provides an individual or collaborative service to
create, analyze, share, and discuss strategic business issues such as business
models (hereafter called "Content"). Furthermore
it enables the adding of meaningful metadata and comments to content created
individually or collaboratively.
Straticom is committed to protecting the privacy of the
users and to comply with all relevant laws. This Privacy Policy describes
general rules applied to all of our global users as well as rules specifically
applicable to EU users.
Information Collection and Use Practices
You can
choose to make your content public for anyone to access, restrict access to a
limited number of other Straticom users, or keep the
content private so only you can access them.
Personal
Data
We
collect personally identifiable information ("Personal Data") from
you when you voluntarily choose to provide Personal Data. We use the Personal
Data that we collect in order to provide and improve our services. Examples of
Personal Data we collect include first name, last name, address, email address,
telephone number, billing and credit card information, and information
regarding your subscription.
Use of
Personal Data
Straticom uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner
that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a
certain reason, we may use the Personal Data only in connection with the reason
for which it was provided. When we receive your Personal Data from a Straticom Client with whom you have registered, we may use
that Personal Data in order to contact you on behalf of that Straticom Client (via email or otherwise). Straticom and its affiliates also use your Personal Data
and other non-personally-identifiable information collected through the Website
to help us improve the content and functionality of the Website, to better
understand the users of our Website, and to improve our services.
Aggregated
Personal Data
In an
ongoing effort to better understand our users, we may analyze the Personal Data
that is provided to the Website in aggregate form. This aggregate information
does not identify you personally. We may share this aggregate data with our
affiliates, agents and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user
statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective
business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
Passively
Collected Information
When you
interact with us through the Website, we receive and store certain additional
non- personally-identifiable information. For example, we automatically receive
and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP
address, browser type and language, referring/exit pages and URLs, other
browser history, platform type, number of clicks, landing pages, cookie
information, the pages you requested and viewed, the amount of time spent on
particular pages, and the date and time. We only use this data in aggregate
form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would
identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out
how often users use parts of the Website or Services so that we can make the
Website appealing to as many users as possible, and
improve our Services. As part of this use of information, we may provide
aggregate information to our partners about how our users, collectively, use
the Website. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also
understand how often people use their services and the Website, so that they,
too, may provide you with an optimal online experience.
As an
example: we use Google Analytics
to collect and review this information and to connect with Google Analytics
Advertising Features. This allows us to better inform and target relevant
groups. Currently we implemented:
Information
collected by Google Analytics will only be merged with your Personal Data only
if we get your prior consent to do so.
Google Analytics
offers you to opt out of the data collection here.
It is also possible to stop this data collection and information sending in
your browsers settings.
We may share your Personal Data with:
Authorized
Service Providers
Our
authorized service providers are companies that perform certain services on our
behalf. These services may include fulfilling orders, processing credit card
payments, delivering packages, providing customer service and marketing
assistance, performing business and sales analyses, supporting the Website
functionality, and supporting contests, sweepstakes, surveys or other features
we offer. These service providers may have access to your Personal Data to the
extent necessary to perform their functions, but we do not allow them to share
or use any of your Personal Data for any other purpose.
Straticom Affiliates
We may
share information we collect, including Personal Data, with Straticom-owned
or affiliated businesses. Sharing information with our affiliates enables us to
provide you with information about a variety of products and services that
might interest you. All Straticom companies comply
with applicable privacy and security laws and, at a minimum, in any commercial
email they send to you, will give you the opportunity to choose not to receive
such email messages in the future.
Protection
of Straticom and Others
We may
release Personal Data when we believe in good faith that release is necessary
to enforce or apply our Terms of Service
and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of our
Company, our employees, our users, or others. This includes, without
limitation, exchanging information with other companies and organizations for
fraud monitoring, detection, and prevention.
In
response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a
request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to
establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as
otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal
objection or right available to us.
Information Sharing and Disclosure Practices
You can
specify whether or not you want your content to be accessible to the public, to
a specific group, to a group of selected individuals of your choosing, or if it
shall be accessible only to yourself privately (only you can access them with
your Straticom ID and password).
Practices Regarding Your Ability to Update or
Delete Information
You can
delete individual content that you have on Straticom by submitting such delete request to Straticom with the information about the content that you
wish to delete.

Ownership
of Content
The
project owner is the owner of all created content therein. As the owner of the
content he or she has the right to take any action he deemed appropriate.
Collaboration
All work done
by the collaborators are owned by the project owner. The project owner has the
right to add and delete members to his project according to his judgement.
EU users
On 25 May
2018 a new European privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), came into
force. It imposes new rules on companies, government agencies, non-profits, and
other organizations that offer goods and services to EU individuals or that collect
and analyze such data. The GDPR applies no matter where the data is processed
and where the organization processing data is physically located. It is meant
to strengthen users’ rights in light of fast technological developments and
increased globalization of business operations involving any form of processing
personal data.
The GDPR
regulates the “processing” of personal data for EU individuals, which includes
collection, storage, transfer, or use. The term “personal data” is very broad
under the new regulation and extends to any information relating to an
identified or identifiable individual (a “data subject”).
The GDPR
also expands the concept of sensitive data (personal data revealing:
racial/ethnic origin, political/religious etc., views, trade union membership,
health, sex life and sexual orientation, genetic and biometric data). Straticom does not process any of such sensitive data.
Straticom is committed to comply with EU data protection
regulation and provides its EU users with a number of important assurances,
such as the following:
· We will keep your data within Straticom and our trusted third parties except where
disclosure is required by law, for example to government bodies and law
enforcement agencies.
· Some of our trusted third parties
may need to transfer personal data overseas. Straticom
will endeavour to ensure that your data remains protected and secure while being
transferred.
· Straticom will process your data for
legitimate purposes, i.e. to provide and improve our services. Straticom’s ChangeVUTM
platform follows your instructions regarding storage and processing of your data.
Importantly, the consent given by you to be provided with information about a
variety of products and services Straticom offers may
be withdrawn at any time.
· Straticom users have the “right to be
forgotten,” which means the right to require that Straticom
erases personal data about you in certain circumstances, including if the
personal data is no longer necessary for the original purpose of the processing
or if the data subject withdraws consent for the processing.
· You will now also have the right,
in certain circumstances, to receive the personal data that you have provided
to Straticom in a structured, commonly used and
machine-readable format.
· Straticom has and will maintain technical
and organizational measures to ensure security of your data.
