Privacy policy

Updated June 2019

At DesignMap, we value and respect the importance of your privacy. That is why we have prepared this privacy policy to communicate how we collect, use, and share personal information. As used below, “Services” means any website, document, application, or professional service provided by DesignMap. This policy may need to be changed from time to time. The updates will be posted online. If the changes are substantive, we will announce the update through usual communication channels such as blog posts, email, and/or notices on DesignMap’s website. Your continued use of DesignMap Services after the effective date of such changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

1. Information Collection And Use

“Personal Information” means information that identifies you, like your name or email address. Any other information is “non-personal information.”

A. Personally Identifiable Information: Collection

Through your own submissions, we may collect and store information such as your name, address, location, telephone number, and email address.

B. Personally Identifiable Information: Use

We will use your Personal Information for Service-related notices, including Service updates and features, to send you information you have requested, communications for administrative or business purposes, for formal notices required by law, and for any other purpose that you authorize. Some Services may provide the ability for you to share comments, content and information with DesignMap, other users, or the public. DesignMap cannot control what others do with that information. We are not responsible for the information you choose to share with other users or the public through the Services.

C. Personally Identifiable Information: Third parties

We may provide data to third parties that support our Services or that support our relationship with you. For example, we engage providers of cloud data storage, marketing automation, advertising management, customer relationship management, customer service management, and analytics.

D. Non-Personally Identifiable Information: Collection

Non-personally identifiable information includes general details about your computer and connection (including the type of computer/mobile device, operating system, web browser or other software, language preference, and hardware), the referring website, the date and time of visit, and internet content provider information. We may also collect non-personally identifiable information through sources such as anonymous surveys.

E. Non-Personally Identifiable Information: Use

We may use your non-personally identifiable information to better understand how to make the Services better for our Users. DesignMap may share this aggregated, anonymous data with business partners or other third parties to better understand our users, how our Services are used, and how we can be more effective.

2. Protecting Personal Information

A. Access to Personal Information

Normally, only a limited number of our employees will see your personal information for the purposes of providing you our Services. In the event we need to disclose information to contractors or vendors to assist in providing our Services, we will do so only to the extent necessary to provide those Services.

B. Important Disclosures

We reserve the right to disclose your personal information to protect our rights, comply with state or federal laws, judicial proceedings, or a court order. We also reserve the right to share information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.

3. Third Party Use and Waiver of Liability

A. Third Party Use of Information

We reserve the right to use and disseminate information to third parties in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy.

B. Waiver of Liability

We are committed to protecting your privacy and limit our interactions to third parties which we have confidence will not misuse your information. However, we do not control those third parties. You agree that we are not responsible for any misuse of information by third parties, whether such misuse is through negligence, intentional misconduct, or any action or inaction by a third party or others.

C. Links to Third Parties

Our Services may link to or otherwise provide information from or about other websites, apps, and other third-party services. These other services may have privacy practices that differ from our own. We are not responsible for the actions of other providers or the accuracy of any information about those services or providers presented by us, the provider, or a third party. You are solely responsible for investigating those websites, apps, or other services, including their terms of use and privacy policies, to determine whether their services are right for you.

4. General Provisions

A. No Unsolicited Personal Information Requests

We will never ask you for your personal information in an unsolicited letter, call, or email. If you contact our representative, we will only use your personal information if necessary to fulfill a request by you.

B. Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website writes onto your computer. We use cookies to allow faster and easier access to your account information, monitor traffic on the site, and measure traffic patterns to improve functionality. If you do not want us to collect information through cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature, have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

We use Outfunnel as our third party service provider in order to create email distribution lists and manage marketing campaigns. Such processing is covered with a data processing agreement protecting your personal data.

C. Security of Personal Information

The security of our Services is important to us and use reasonable efforts to secure any information you provide to our systems. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we do not and cannot guarantee your security. As with disclosure of any information electronically, there is a risk that any information you disclose by use of the Services could be collected or used by others. This could result in unsolicited messages from third parties or use of such information by third parties for their own purposes, legal or illegal.

D. Do Not Track

California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b) provides that California residents are entitled to know how we respond to “Do Not Track” browser settings. Like many other websites and online services, we do not currently alter our practices when we receive Do Not Track signals as there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you may wish to visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com/.

E. Policies Concerning Children

If you are under 13, we don’t want your personal information, and you must not provide it to us. If you are a parent and believe that your child who is under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@designmap.com to have your child’s information removed.

F. Changing Your Information

Should you wish to change your contact information, payment information, or other information that is collected from you and stored in your account, you can update or change that information within your account or contact the Company at info@designmap.com to request a change.
