We've written this privacy policy to tell you what we will and will not do with your information. It covers two different things: The DevResults application, which is the cloud-based software as a service, delivered to paying organizations at a custom domain name (for example, your-program.devresults.com); and the DevResults public website, which is what you're viewing now.


Information Collected Via the DevResults Software Application (And How We Use It)

Your organization's information

The DevResults software application (the "App") is designed to store and maintain information about your organization and its work. We understand that some or all of this information may be sensitive or confidential, and we have implemented a comprehensive security framework so that only registered users and our authorized staff have access to your organization's information and specific webpage within the App (the "Secured Site").

You and your organization have control over what information your organization provides to the App, and our staff will only access your information to support your use of the App. Our support of your use of the App will largely be at your request and authorization, but may include actions we take to ensure the security, integrity, and good working order of the App, Site, and information. In rare cases we may need to allow technical staff from our vendors access to our databases for troubleshooting, maintenance, or support services. These support vendors may only use the information on our databases as necessary to provide these support services to us. Except as stated in this policy or where we are required by law or court order, we will not disclose your organization's information to third parties without your express authorization.

While we own and retain all rights in the software code to the App, the information you store in the App belongs to you. At your request, at any time and for any reason, we will export your information and provide it to you (as long all subscription fees have been paid). We will retain your organization's information for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide services to you and/or your organization.

Your Personal Information

We collect Personal Information and Anonymous Information from you when you visit the Public and Secured Sites, use our App services, and/or send us information or communications. "Personal Information" means information that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, IP Address, and any information about you that is associated with or linked to any of these types of information. "Anonymous Information" means information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information. Anonymous Information does not permit the identification of individual persons. We collect and use Personal Information and Anonymous Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

How We Collect Your Personal Information

Personal Information You Voluntarily Provide

Your company or organization will create an account for you with basic information such as your full name, phone number, company or organization name, and email address, creating your user profile. After that account has been created, you can modify your Personal Information at any time and, if you would like, add a photo to your user profile. If you need to delete your account, you must notify your system administrator, who will delete your account for you.

Cookies

To make the App more useful to you, as you access or use the Secured Site we use technological means to collect Personal Information from you, including the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) you just came from, the URL you go to next, your browser type, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address. We may also use cookies to collect Personal Information from you about your use of our Sites.

An "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP address stays the same from browser session to browser session. However, if you use a consumer internet access provider, your IP address probably varies from session to session. We track IP addresses solely in conjunction with session cookies to analyze our web page flow.

In addition to our use of cookies for internal administrative and site-evaluation and optimization purposes, the App uses cookies for important security and user preference purposes, including: to confirm that you're an authorized user; to remember your login credentials; and to remember your preferences and settings. These cookies are essential to the security and performance of the App and cannot be disabled. While you are not required to consent to the use of cookies in conjunction with the App, realize that you will not be allowed to access the Secured Site or use the App unless the cookies are enabled and you consent to their use. Your browser must accept cookies in order for you to use the App.

To enable you to make an informed decision regarding consenting to our use of cookies on the App and Secured Site, we have provided additional information regarding the types of cookies we use:

We use CloudFlare to make DevResults faster for users, and to protect our servers from certain types of attacks. This cookie identifies trusted users in order to override blacklists based on IP address.Cloudflare Privacy & Security Policy

Depending on demand, we may host your DevResults site on multiple servers behind a load balancer. This cookie ensures that you will stay with the same server as you navigate the application.Microsoft Online Services Privacy Statement

These cookies are not shared with other websites, and DevResults will not disclose the information collected with these cookies to third parties, except as described in this policy.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We utilize the information we collect from you, whether voluntarily provided by you or collected via technological means, to perform important administrative and security functions. By monitoring and analyzing such information, we are able to authenticate Secured Site users, improve the function of the App, provide support and security services, and protect the integrity of your organization's data. We will retain your Personal Information for as long as your account is active, or for as long as your Personal Information is needed for legal or security purposes.

Analytics and logs

Our App servers log every request and store these logs in files that are available to us for analysis. We also use analytics technologies that run in the browser to record usage.

We use this data in aggregate to:

  • analyze trends
  • monitor security threats
  • administer the site
  • understand typical usage patterns on the site; and
  • gather technical information about our user base (for example, what versions of which browsers are in use).
Aggregate customer data

We may run queries across all customer data to produce impressive-sounding aggregate numbers for a number of legitimate and lawful purposes, including for administrative, security, system analytics, and self-promotion. For example, we might say X people in Y countries around the world are using DevResults to manage $Z worth of development programs." This information is anonymous, and it will only be stored in an aggregate form that is not traceable to a specific person or organization. It will never be presented in a way that can be traced to you, your projects, your organization, or specific individuals within your organization.

We will not perform any automated decision-making processes on the information that we collect.

Disclosure of Your Personal Information

We may share Anonymous Information for any legitimate business purpose allowed under the applicable laws and regulations without notification or consent.

We may share your Personal Information with third parties who perform services for us or on our behalf for any legitimate purpose allowed under the applicable laws and regulations (see section titled "Your Rights Regarding Your Information," below) including for technical support or security purposes. If we disclose your Personal Information in this manner, the third party recipients of your Personal Information will be bound by the terms of this policy.

Additionally, we may share some or all of your Personal Information with "Affiliates" (parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control), in which case we will require our Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. If our company or our assets are acquired by another company, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by us and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this policy.

Some of the third parties or Affiliates to which we might disclose your Personal Information may be international organizations or organizations that were formed in the United States. If we share your Personal Information with such third parties or Affiliates, we will use appropriate methods to transmit your information in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Such methods may include the Privacy Shield framework, Standard Contractual Clauses, or binding corporate bylaws.

In all cases where we disclose or transfer your Personal Information to third parties or Affiliates, we are liable for any unlawful use of your Personal Information by such third parties or Affiliates.

We may be required to disclose your Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.


Information Collected Via the DevResults Public Website (And How We Use It)

Similar to the Secure Site, we collect certain Personal and Anonymous Information from users of the Public Site in order to enhance our demo product, protect the integrity of the demo, and to maintain the Security of the Public Site. We may collect this information via a mixture of voluntary disclosure and technological tools such as cookies. Generally, we will not disclose Personal Information collected from the Public Site to third parties, excepting disclosure related to security, administrative, or technical support purposes. However, we reserve the right to share your Personal Information for any legitimate purpose allowed under the applicable laws and regulations (see section titled "Your Rights Regarding Your Information," below). If we disclose your Personal Information in this manner, third party recipients of your Personal Information shall be bound by the terms of this policy. Additionally, we may disclose Anonymous or Aggregate Information that is not traceable to you or any specific Public Site user.
