What this policy covers
This policy covers this website, the forms on it, and the conversations that follow from them.
It does not cover the data our customers connect to Bazinga, or store and process in Bazinga and Plant an App. For that data, our customer is the controller, and we process it only on their behalf, under our agreement with them. If your information is in an application run by one of our customers, contact that organization. This policy also doesn’t cover third-party websites we link to.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- When you request a demo or contact us: your name, work email, organization, job title, country, the topic you choose, and your message.
- When you request a quote: your name, work email, organization, country, the plan and the deployment you’re considering, and your message.
- When you email, call, or meet with us: your contact details and the content of our communications.
Information collected automatically
- To deliver the site: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request, and when. Our hosting and content delivery providers process this to serve the site and keep it secure.
- To protect our forms from spam: when you start filling in a form, Google reCAPTCHA collects information about your device and how you interact with the page, to tell people from automated abuse.
- Analytics, only with your consent: the pages you view, how you move around the site, how you reached it, your approximate location derived from your IP address, and your device and browser.
- Marketing, only with your consent: the campaign tags and ad click identifiers in the link that brought you here, the page you landed on, and the site that referred you. We keep these in your browser for up to 90 days and send them with any form you submit, so we know which campaign led to your inquiry.
- With any form you submit: the page you sent it from, and any campaign tags in that page’s address.
Information from others
Our partners may introduce you to us, and share your contact details and what you’re looking for, when you’ve asked them to.
How we use it
We use personal information for the purposes below. Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we rely on the legal basis shown for each.
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Respond to your inquiry, and arrange the demo or trial you ask for | Steps you ask us to take before a contract; our legitimate interest in answering business inquiries |
| Introduce you to a partner, when you ask us to | Steps you ask us to take; our legitimate interest in connecting clients with partners |
| Understand how the site is used, and improve it | Your consent (analytics cookies) |
| Learn which of our campaigns bring inquiries | Your consent (marketing cookies) |
| Keep the site and our forms secure, and prevent spam and abuse | Our legitimate interest in protecting our site and services |
| Meet legal obligations, enforce our terms, and establish or defend legal claims | Legal obligation; our legitimate interest in protecting our rights |
We use the details you send us to respond to you. We don’t add you to marketing email lists.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed them against your rights and interests. You can ask us for details, and you can object at any time.
We don’t make decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies and similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, keep small pieces of information on your device. We use them in three categories. Necessary ones are always on. Analytics and marketing ones are used only if you allow them, and you can change your choice at any time with , also linked at the bottom of every page.
| Category | What it’s for | Name and provider | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Remembers your cookie choices | bz-consent (local storage), Bazinga | 12 months |
| Necessary | Protects our forms from spam, once you start filling one in | _GRECAPTCHA (local storage), Google reCAPTCHA | Up to 6 months |
| Analytics | Counts visits and shows how the site is used | _ga, _ga_*, Google Analytics | Up to 2 years |
| Marketing | Remembers the campaign that brought you here, and sends it with your inquiry | bz-attribution (local storage), Bazinga | 90 days |
We use Google Consent Mode. Until you allow analytics, Google’s tags don’t store or read analytics cookies; they may send limited signals without cookies, such as that a page was viewed, which Google uses in aggregate to estimate site traffic. When you withdraw a choice, we delete the cookies and stored information from that category that we can.
Fonts. Our typefaces are served from our own website, so loading a page doesn’t send your information to a font provider.
Who we share it with
We share personal information only as described here:
- Service providers who work on our behalf, under contracts that limit their use of it to the services they provide us: website hosting and content delivery, customer relationship management and email, analytics (Google Analytics), and spam protection (Google reCAPTCHA).
- Partners, when you ask us to find you one: we share your contact details and what you’re looking for with the partner we introduce you to.
- Authorities and others, when the law requires it, or when it’s needed to protect the rights, property, or safety of Plant an App, our customers, or others.
- A successor business, if we’re involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.
We don’t sell your personal information, we don’t share it for targeted advertising, and we don’t rent or lease our contact lists.
International transfers
Plant an App is based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. When we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK addendum to them, or the recipient’s certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can ask us for a copy of the safeguards that apply.
How long we keep it
- Inquiries: for as long as we need them to respond to you and manage our relationship. If no relationship follows, we delete or anonymize them within 24 months of our last contact with you.
- Cookies and local storage: for the periods in the table above.
- Where the law requires it, or to establish or defend legal claims, for as long as needed.
How we protect it
We protect personal information with technical and organizational measures suited to the risk: encryption in transit, access limited to the people who need it, and service providers bound to security obligations. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If a breach affects your personal information, we’ll notify you and the authorities where the law requires it.
Your rights and choices
Everyone can ask us what personal information we hold about them, and ask us to correct or delete it. You can change your cookie choices at any time with .
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, you have the right to access your personal information, to correct it, to have it erased, to restrict how we use it, to receive it in a portable format, and to object to how we use it. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time, without affecting what we did before. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority where you live or work.
In US states with privacy laws, such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and others, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to access it, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale, of sharing for targeted advertising, and of profiling. We won’t discriminate against you for using these rights. If we decline your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision; if we deny your appeal, you can contact your state attorney general.
To make a request, email privacy@plantanapp.com. We may need to verify your identity first. We respond within one month where the GDPR applies, and within 45 days under US state laws, and may extend these periods where the law allows, telling you why. An authorized agent can make a request for you, with proof of their authority.
Children
Our website is meant for businesses and public institutions. It isn’t directed at children under 16, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us, and we’ll delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. We’ll post the new version here with a new “last updated” date and, if the changes are significant, tell you on our website or by email.
