Why We Gather Personal Information:
At Dundas, we gather and use personal data to process your orders for the purchase of software licenses, services and other products from Dundas, to facilitate and ensure the delivery of products purchased and services requested and to process payment of such orders. We also use the personal data you have provided to us to communicate with you about your purchases, to respond to any inquiries you make, to manage your account, give you access to support, free trials and the Dundas BI e-Learning courses and safeguard our respective interests. We will send you important notices, and respond to any special needs or enquiries you may have. We may also send you information about other products and services in which we believe you may be interested.
We only use personal data for the purposes that we have disclosed to you. If for any reason your information is required to fulfill a different purpose, we will obtain your consent before we proceed.
INFORMATION PROVIDED TO DUNDAS
Information in Dundas BI Support is entered by you when setting up your account. To use Dundas BI Support, you or another representative from your organization must set up a Dundas BI Support account and provide us with certain information such as your name, position/title, company name, company email address, company mailing address and applicable phone number. Typically, businesses are the ones who purchase our licenses and services. However, on the rare occasion, an individual may purchase a license or service for personal use, or an individual may use their own credit card (and not the business's credit card) or otherwise submit their own information instead of the business's information, to place an order or communicate with us. In those instances, their personal data may be collected. The type of personal data we may ask for depends on and is related to the reason (or purpose) such personal data was provided to us. For instance, in order to process and deliver orders for products and services purchased or requested from Dundas, we will collect your name, credit card information, email address and other similar pieces of information related to the individual purchasing the order. In addition to the foregoing, we may ask for company name, mailing address and applicable telephone numbers.
We may gather such personal data from you via mail, email, facsimile, Internet, in person, over the telephone, or from third parties who we reasonably believe have your authority to disclose such personal data to us.

If your personal data becomes subject to a legal disclosure requirement and we are permitted to do so, we will attempt to notify you of said disclosure, if we have current contact information on file.
There are some situations where we are legally permitted to disclose personal data such as employing reasonable and legal methods to enforce our rights or to investigate suspicion of illegal activities.
From time to time, we may post case studies, success stories and testimonials that contain personal data on our website or in other publicly distributed material. In such cases, we obtain your written consent before posting your name or other personal data with the case study, success story or testimonial.

Our Employees and your Personal Information:
In the course of daily operations, access to private, sensitive and confidential information is restricted to authorized employees who have a legitimate business purpose and reason for accessing it. For example, when you call us, our designated employees will access your information to verify who you are and to assist you in fulfilling your requests.
Unauthorized access to and/or disclosure of personal data by an employee of Dundas is strictly prohibited. All employees are expected to maintain the confidentiality of personal data at all times and failing to do so will result in appropriate disciplinary measures, which may include dismissal.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA (APPLICABLE TO EEA ONLY)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), Dundas’ legal basis for collecting and processing the personal data we receive depends on the context in which it is sent to us. In our normal course of business, we will only collect and process personal data that has been sent to us by you through our website, via email, mail or facsimile. Subject to compliance with the requirements of Article 6 of the GDPR, as of May 25, 2018, we will process the personal data sent to us where you have provided your consent, or where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps, at your request, prior to entering into a contract. We may also process your personal data where the processing of the information is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party and not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data, in particular where you are a child. We may process your personal data where we have a legal obligation to collect and process personal data and are the controller in respect of such data, or where the processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or that of another natural person.
In circumstances where we rely on your consent to process the personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, this may not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent Dundas has received prior to the withdrawal of consent.
How We Safeguard Your Information:
We use industry standard technologies and maintain current security standards to ensure that your personal data is protected against unauthorized access, disclosure, inappropriate alteration or misuse.
Electronic customer files are kept in a highly secured environment with restricted access. Paper-based files are stored in locked filing cabinets. Access is also restricted.
We manage our server environment appropriately and our firewall infrastructure is strictly adhered to. Our security practices are reviewed on a regular basis and we routinely employ current technologies to ensure that the confidentiality and privacy of your information is not compromised.
Our web site uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and 256 bit encryption technologies to enhance security when you visit the secured areas of these sites. SSL is the industry standard tool for protecting and maintaining the security of message transmissions over the Internet. When you access your accounts or send information from secured sites, encryption will scramble your data into an unreadable format to inhibit unauthorized access by others.
To safeguard against unauthorized access to your accounts, you are required to "sign-on" using a user ID and a password to certain secured areas of the Dundas's website. Both user ID and password are encrypted when sent over the Internet. If you are unable to provide the correct password, you will not be able to access these sections.
ACCESSING, AMENDING AND REMOVING YOUR INFORMATION
You may access, verify and amend the information associated with your accounts by logging into your Dundas BI Support account and editing your profile. You may access and verify any of your information, or request to have your account removed by contacting our customer contact center at +1-416-467-5100 or support@dundas.com Dundas reserves the right to validate requests to ensure legitimacy. .
To help us keep your personal data up-to-date, we encourage you to amend inaccuracies and make corrections as often as necessary. Despite our efforts, errors sometimes do occur. Should you identify any incorrect or out-of-date information in your file(s), we will make the proper changes. Where appropriate, we will communicate these changes to other parties who may have unintentionally received incorrect information from us.
DATA RETENTION
Dundas will retain your personal data for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes for which the data was provided. Dundas will delete or anonymize your personal data when we no longer have a legitimate business need for it. If it is no longer possible to delete it because, for example, it has been backed up in archives, then we will securely store the personal data and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.
For personal data that we process on behalf of customers and partners users, we will retain such personal data in accordance with the terms of our agreement with them, subject to applicable laws.
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS FOR EEA AND CERTAIN OTHER JURISDICTIONS
If you reside in the EEA or certain other jurisdictions, you have the right to exercise additional rights available to you under the local law that applies to you:
- - Right of erasure: you may have a broader right to have personal data that we hold about you erased or deleted.
- - Right to object to processing: you may have the right to request that Dundas stop processing your personal data.
