What Categories of Personal Information Will You Collect in The Next 12 Months And Why?

We will continue to collect the same categories of Personal Information listed in the chart above, for the same purposes. If this should change, we will issue an updated Privacy Notice.

How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Information?

How long we keep your Personal Information will depend on the purpose for which we use it.

We only keep your Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice and applicable Addendums and to fulfill our legal obligations. We have internal rules that set out how long we retain Personal Information. What this means in practice will vary as between different types of information, any ongoing need for the information, and our legal obligations (for example, relating to tax, health and safety, and potential or actual disputes or investigations).

Where Do We Collect Personal Data About You From?

We may collect Personal Data about you from the following sources:

  • Directly from you. This is information you provide to us.
  • From an agent or third party acting on your behalf, e.g., from one of our recruitment agencies.
  • Through publicly available sources, such as LinkedIn or even by word of mouth.
  • Using CCTV cameras. Where we have cameras on our premises, your image and movements will be recorded.
  • Regarding our Services, some have use through a mobile app. These mobile apps are collecting location data constantly, whether the app is being actively used or not, according to user permissions as dictated by an Agreement between Accruent and its applicable client.

Additional Facts About How We Share Your Personal Information

The third parties with whom we share your Personal Information are bound to comply with similar and equally stringent undertakings of privacy and confidentiality.

We also share your Personal Information with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • to comply with legal obligations;
  • when we believe in good faith that an applicable law requires it;
  • at the request of governmental authorities or other third parties conducting an investigation;
  • to detect and protect against fraud, or any technical or security vulnerabilities;
  • to respond to an emergency;
  • to otherwise protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third parties, visitors to our websites, our businesses, or the public.

We do not grant access to your Personal Information to any other third parties unless we say so in this Privacy Notice or unless required by law.

We Do Not Knowingly Collect Personal Information of Minors

Our Services are not directed toward minors under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect or sell the Personal Information of minors.

How Do We Keep Your Personal Information Secure?

We ensure the security of your Personal Information by implementing a specific set of technical and organisational security measures that are based on controls published by the Center for Internet Security. These controls call for the use of encryption, firewalls, and other measures that ensure we provide a level of security appropriate to the risk presented by a particular situation. We implement and maintain reasonable security appropriate to the nature of the Personal Information that we collect, use, retain, transfer, or otherwise process. Our reasonable security program is implemented and maintained in accordance with applicable law.  

While we are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring, and updating a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits, or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our security program is designed to manage data security risks and help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.

Who Do We Share Your Personal Information With?

We may share your Personal Information with third parties who provide services on our behalf to help with our business activities. Examples of third party service providers include email service providers to send out emails on our behalf, an employment management provider, or a credit card processing provider to process payments for certain transactions. These third parties comply with similar and equally stringent undertakings of privacy and confidentiality.

We may disclose your Personal Information (a) as required by law to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate or protect against fraud or any technical or security vulnerabilities, respond to an emergency or a government request, or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third parties, visitors to our website, our business, or the general public, and (b) to any other third party with your prior consent to do so.

We share your Personal Information with our other Fortive Group companies for internal reasons, primarily for business and operational purposes

As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or merges with us your Personal Information will be disclosed to such entity.

If any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, all such Personal Information will be considered an asset of ours and as such it is possible they will be sold or transferred to third parties.

No third parties have access to your Personal Information unless we specifically say so in this Notice or applicable Addendums, or if the law requires such access.

  • explains where we store your Personal Data and whether we transfer your data outside of the European Economic Area.

We will collect certain Personal Data about you in the course of your relationship with us, which may include the categories of Personal Information set forth in the table on the Accruent Privacy Notice.

  • As is necessary for the performance of the contract with you for or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract
  • To comply with our legal obligations
  • To protect your vital interests and the vital interests of others.
  • As is necessary for us to carry out our functions as a global business, including profiling related to your Personal Data. While there are some risks with this type of activity, on balance, we consider the risk to your rights of data protection is outweighed by the significant benefits in providing Services to a relevant and interested marketplace.
  • You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your situation, at any time to the processing of your Personal Data based on legitimate interests.
  • If you notify us of any health or disability requirements, then this may involve the processing of more detailed Personal Data, including sensitive data such as health information that you or others provide about you.

Where Do We Store Your Personal Data? Do We Transfer Your Personal Data Outside The EEA?

We store your personal data safely at our premises, in contracted storage facilities, with our service providers, or on our servers within the country where we are based and otherwise within the European Economic Area (EEA). We strive to process your Personal Data within the country where we collected it or within the EEA. If we or our service providers transfer Personal Data, where relevant, outside of the EEA, we will always require that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the Personal Data that is transferred. For example, a portion of our centralised Compliance, Marketing, and Finance functions are performed outside of the EEA, in the USA, so we have put in place safeguards to protect Personal Data exported from the EEA that is processed in or accessed from the USA. You can obtain a copy of the safeguards in place for such transfers by contacting us using the details at the end of this Privacy Notice.

Privacy Notice Addendum CCPA

Effective Date: July 7th, 2020

Last Updated: August 1st, 2022

This Privacy Notice Addendum (“CCPA Addendum”) is incorporated into the Accruent Privacy Notice and applies only to the collection and use of the Personal Information of California residents by Accruent, particularly where such use or collection is governed by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and relates to consumer transactions. Although the CCPA applies to Personal Information of individuals that are residents of California, Accruent may as a courtesy extend some of the CCPA’s requirements to the Personal Information of residents of the United States of America more broadly.  

This notice does not apply to our handling of your Personal Information in the human resources context. A separate privacy notice applies to these situations and is available from the Accruent Human Resources Department.

If this CCPA Addendum is applicable to you, please read it carefully because it provides important information and explains your rights.

What Does the CCPA Addendum Cover?

In addition to the obligations set forth in the Accruent Privacy Notice, this Addendum:

  • explains how we keep your Personal Information secure; and
  • sets out your rights under specific California laws

What Personal Information Do We Collect About You?

We will collect certain Personal Information about you in the course of your relationship with us, which may include the categories of Personal Information set forth in the table on the Accruent Privacy Notice.

How Do We Keep Your Personal Information Secure?

Our reasonable security program is implemented and maintained in accordance with applicable law and relevant standards as outlined in the report issued by the California Attorney General in February 2016, available at https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/dbr/2016-data-breach-report.pdf.  

Specifically, among other safeguards, our reasonable security program implements and maintains all 20 of the Center for Internet Security’s Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense identified in Appendix A of the California Attorney General Report. As noted in that report, “there is no perfect security,” and reasonable security is a process that involves risk management rather than risk elimination. While we are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring and updating a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our reasonable security program is designed to manage data security risks and thus help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.

California Shine The Light

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits California residents to annually request, free of charge, information about the Personal Information (if any) disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. No information is shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

How Can You Make A Request To Exercise Your Rights or Contact Us?

If you have questions on the processing of your Personal Information, would like to exercise any of your rights, or are unhappy with how we’ve handled your Personal Information, please contact us here:

Attention: Accruent Legal Department
11500 Alterra Parkway, Suite 110
Austin, TX 78758 USA

Or at legal@accruent.com with subject line: “Attention: Legal - CCPA Request.” We are committed to ensuring that our communications are accessible to people with disabilities.

Authorized Agents – Additional Verification Required

You may designate an agent to submit requests on your behalf. The agent can be a natural person or a business entity that is registered with the California Secretary of State.

If you would like to designate an agent to act on your behalf, you and the agent will need to comply with our agent verification process. You will be required to verify your identity by providing us with certain Personal Information as described above, depending on whether you hold an account with us or not and the nature of the information your require, which we will endeavor to match the information submitted to information we maintain about you. Additionally, we will require that you provide us with written confirmation that you have authorized the agent to act on your behalf, and the scope of that authorization. The agent will be required to provide us with proof of the agency relationship, which may be a declaration attesting to the agent’s identity and authorization by you to act on their behalf, signed under penalty of perjury. If the agent is a business entity, it will also need to submit evidence that it is registered and in good standing with the California Secretary of State. Information to identify and verify your agent can be submitted through the same mechanism and at the same time that you submit information to verify your identity.

By law, you have a number of rights when it comes to your Personal Data. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the National Authority of Data Protection (ANPD).

 

 

Rights

 

 

 

 

What does this mean?

 

 

1. The right to be informed

You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your Personal Data and your rights. This is why we’re providing you with the information in this Privacy Notice.

2. The right of access

You have the right to obtain access to your Personal Data (if we’re processing it), and certain other information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Notice).
This is so you’re aware and can check that we’re using your information in accordance with data protection law.

3. The right to rectification

You are entitled to have your Personal Data corrected if it’s inaccurate, not up to date, or incomplete.

4. The right to erasure

In simple terms, you can request the deletion of excessive, unnecessary, or incorrectly processed data or deletion of data that has been processed with your consent. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.

5. The right to block processing

You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your Personal Data. When processing is blocked, we can still store your Personal Data, but we will stop using temporarily. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their Personal Data to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in future.

6. The right to data portability

You have rights to obtain and reuse your Personal Data for your own purposes across different services. For example, if you decide to switch to a new provider, this enables you to move, copy or transfer your Personal Data easily between our IT systems and theirs safely and securely, without affecting its usability.

7. The right to oppose to processing

You have the right to oppose to processing of your Personal Data if you believe it has not been processed in compliance with the LGPD. This is different from withdrawing consent as includes processing based on our legitimate interests.

8. The right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your Personal Data with the National Authority of Data Protection (ANPD).

9. The right to withdraw consent

If you have given your consent for processing of Personal Data, it can be withdrawn at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your Personal Data with your consent up to that point is unlawful). This includes your right to withdraw consent to us using your Personal Data for marketing purposes.

10. The right to request anonymization

You have the right to request your Personal Data to be anonymized by technical means. You may do this, for example, if your data is part of a market study.

11. The right to request information of third-party public and private entities with whom we have shared data

You have the right to request information of the public and private entities with whom we have shared your Personal Data and the purpose for which we have shared it, for example with processors we have listed in this Privacy Notice.
