Appscio: Online Privacy Policy
Appscio™, Inc. ("Appscio") is committed to respecting your online privacy and recognizes your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us.
Appscio has established this Online Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information. Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit Appscio.com or Appscio.org (collectively, the "website") without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities, websites other than the website, or Products and Services not available or enabled via the website. Appscio reserves the right to change the Online Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion without notice to you. You should visit this page periodically to review the then-current Online Privacy Policy. If at any time you have objections to the Online Privacy Policy, you should immediately cease all use of this website and follow the procedure described in the section entitled "Updating Your Personal Information and Privacy Preferences".
Appscio strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy.
Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Tracking Technologies
Some of the Appscio Web pages utilize "cookies", "web beacons," and other tracking technologies. A "cookie" is small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. The website may use both session ID cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time) to help Appscio identify and track visitors, their usage of the website, and their website access preferences, and to deliver content specific to a visitor's interests.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer by Appscio or its contractors, you should set their browsers to refuse cookies before linking to our website. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the website. For information on configuring your browser to decline cookies, check your browser's "help" feature.
A "web beacon" is a small transparent gif image with a unique identifier that is embedded in an HTML page or email. Clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and HTML-based emails and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Appscio does not tie the information gathered by website clear gifs to our customers' personally identifiable information, although we may link that information to your IP address.
Appscio may also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see the section entitled "Updating Your Personal Information and Privacy Preferences."
Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. Appscio's use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our website and your Web experience. Appscio may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.
Data Collected From Casual Website Visitors
Appscio does not collect Personal Information from visitors to our website unless the visitor has volunteered personally-identifiable information, as described in the section entitled "Data collected From Active Community Members".
Like most website operators, Appscio does collect non-personally-identifiable information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the visitor's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, internet service provider, operating system, language preference, referring page, exit page, clickstream data, and the date and time of each visitor request.
Data Collected From Active Community Members
Some features of the Appscio website are available to community members only upon registration, which may require the disclosure of Personal Information. The amount and type of information that Appscio gathers from those members depends on the nature of the feature. For example, those who wish to receive emails from Appscio must provide their name and email address, those who wish to post content to certain portions of the website are asked to provide usernames that identify that content as having been posted by a particular member, members who wish to contribute code must provide their name and contact information and sign a Contributor Agreement, and those who wish to apply for a job must provide their name, address and phone number. Should Appscio choose to sell software or services on the website, purchasers will be asked to provide us with even more information, including billing and shipping addresses and credit card or similar information. If any feature of the website requires the use of a password, that feature may not be accessible without the password.

Appscio will divulge your Personal Information to law enforcement agencies or other governmental agencies when required to do so. Appscio may also disclose information about you if we determine that such disclosure should be made for reasons of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance.
In the event that Appscio goes through a business transition, such as a reorganization, merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, user information, including Personal Information, may be one of the transferred assets. Appscio will provide notice of such asset sales, acquisitions, or mergers on this website.
