This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or use the www.strataflows.com (the “Site”) and/or use the StrataFlows application platform or related support portal.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using cookies and log files.

USE OF COOKIES

StrataFlows’s Web site deposits certain bits of information called “cookies” in a visitor’s computer. Cookies are sent back only to this website when a visitor returns to it. Cookies help us determine how and when pages are visited and by how many people. This technology does not collect any personally identifiable information that you do not specifically provide to us. Any information you provide to us is used to improve the navigation of our Web sites.  For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

“Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

PAYMENT TRACKING

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number.  We refer to this information as “Order Information.”  Credit card numbers and other data related to credit card processing are not maintained by StrataFlows directly but are rather only maintained by the payment gateway StrataFlows utilizes.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

StrataFlows is committed to protecting customers’ privacy rights. StrataFlows will protect users’ and customers’ privacy rights even where GDPR is not in scope. Below are answers to some commonly asked questions about our privacy policy in general and our compliance with GDPR.

  • Is StrataFlows GDPR Compliant?
  • How does StrataFlows protect and secure a user’s private information?
  • Is the StrataFlows GDPR policy specific only to EU citizens and residents?
  • How can I exercise my Personal Privacy Rights with StrataFlows?
  • How can I exercise my Personal Privacy Rights with a customer of StrataFlows?

Is StrataFlows GDPR Compliant?

Yes, StrataFlows is GDPR compliant as a trusted data controller and a trusted data processor.

StrataFlows is committed to and compliant with the principles of GDPR which include ensuring customers’ data is:

  • Processed lawfully, fairly and transparently
  • Collected only for explicit purposes
  • Limited only to what is necessary
  • Accurate and kept up to date
  • Not kept in a form which allows the identification of individuals for any longer than is necessary
  • Processed in a way that ensures its security

Moreover, as a company committed to the protection of our customer’s data, when we must rely on a third-party, we ensure they are also committed to and compliant with GDPR.  For more details, review the StrataFlows Privacy Policy available on our website.

How does StrataFlows protect and secure a user’s private information?

StrataFlows uses guidelines both from the United States NIST Cyber Security Framework and the mandates of the EU’s GDPR to govern our approach to security and privacy.  Additionally, while most of the computing resources we utilize are provided by cloud providers that are themselves NIST and GDPR compliant, including Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, and the Google Office suite, where we do utilize non-cloud resources, we employ industry recognized best of breed security tools and techniques to protect those resources and the data they house or process.  Additionally, we minimize the longevity of private information, retaining it only as long as it serves to benefit our customers 

Does StrataFlows only apply GDPR principles for EU citizens and residents?

StrataFlows applies the same privacy policies for all users (customers, prospects, partners, vendors, employees, etc.) regardless of whether or not they reside in, or are citizens of, the EU.

How can I exercise my Personal Privacy Rights with StrataFlows?

Inquire about your data through our support portal at support.stratfFlows.com.  A support representative will ensure the data transparency, removal, or rectification request is complied with for data StrataFlows controls or processes directly. For data that is indirectly managed by StrataFlows on behalf of one our customers, you will need to contact that entity.

What does StrataFlows do with the data we collect?

StrataFlows uses industry leading, GDPR compliant, 3rd party business systems internally to manage our relationship with our customers, typically businesses, and the people employed by those businesses; these are Sales systems, Marketing systems, and Support systems to better serve our user community, all of these systems collect some personal data–but the data collected is kept to a minimum to permit better customer service.  This data is not shared with 3rd-parties.

For our customers, as a primary part of our business, StrataFlows hosts several products that, by the nature of the services the products provide, collect some user data. For products and services that are used by business entities to manage user data, any data collected and stored on our systems is only accessible to that specific business, and we provide those businesses the tools and processes required for them to be GDPR compliant.
