1. Responsible Entity

Stratify is the controller of your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy, unless specified otherwise.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the extent we process Personal Data in the role of a processor or service provider on behalf of our customers, including where we offer to our customers various software products, platforms, and services through which our customers (or their affiliates) collect, use, share, or otherwise process Personal Data.

For detailed privacy information related to a Stratify customer or a customer affiliate who uses the Stratify software products, platforms, and services as the controller, please contact that customer directly. We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those explained in this Privacy Policy.

For more information, please also see Section 10.5 below.

Visit our branded social media pages;
Receive communications from us, including emails, phone calls, or texts;
Use our software products, platforms, and services as an authorized user where we act as a controller of your Personal Data; or
Apply for employment opportunities with us.

Our websites, platforms, and services may contain links to and from the websites of third parties. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any data to these websites.

3. What Personal Data Do We Collect?

The Personal Data we collect from you may include identifiers, geolocation data, professional or employment-related information, visual information, internet activity information, and inferences drawn from any of these categories. We collect such information in the following situations:

Contact or Registration Information: If you express an interest in obtaining additional information about our services; request customer support; sign up for our platform; or otherwise register to use our services, we may require that you provide to us your contact information, such as your name, school or company name, address, phone number, email address, or username and password.
Automatic Website Interactions: If you interact with our websites or emails, we automatically collect information about your device and your usage of our websites or emails (such as IP addresses or other identifiers) using cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies (see Section 4 for more details).
Service Usage: If you use and interact with our services, we automatically collect information about your device and your usage of our services through log files and other technologies (see Section 4).
Communication Records: If you communicate with us (for example, via a phone call that we initiate), we may record that call in accordance with applicable law.
Voluntary Submissions: If you voluntarily submit certain information to our services—such as by completing online forms or surveys—we collect the information you provide as part of that request.

If you provide us or our service providers with any Personal Data relating to other individuals, you represent that you have the authority to do so and, where required, have obtained the necessary consent. If you believe that your Personal Data has been provided to us improperly or want to exercise your rights relating to your Personal Data, please contact us by using the information in the Contact Us section below.

4. What Device and Usage Data Do We Process?

We use common information-gathering tools—such as cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies—to automatically collect information that may contain Personal Data as you navigate our websites, use our services, or interact with emails we have sent to you.

4.1 Device and Usage Data

Like most websites, we gather certain information automatically when individual users visit our websites. This may include identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity information such as:

IP address (or proxy server information)
Device and application information, including identification numbers, operating system, and system configuration
Browser type, plug-ins, integrations, and language preferences
Internet service provider or mobile carrier
Pages and files viewed, searches, and referring website or application
Date and time stamps associated with your usage
Frequency of visits to the website

We gather similar information automatically as part of your use of our software products and services, including potential geolocation data.

This information is used to:

Analyze overall trends
Help us provide and improve our websites and services
Offer a tailored experience for users
Secure and maintain our websites and services

Some of the data we collect (whether alone or in combination with other data) could personally identify you. Please note, however, that this device and usage data is primarily used to identify the uniqueness of each user logging on (as opposed to identifying specific individuals), unless it is required for security purposes or to provide our services to you.

4.2 Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Tracking Technologies

We (and our authorized service providers) use cookies and similar technologies on our websites and services to:

Facilitate the use of our websites and services;
Improve your user experience;
Remember your preferences;
Track usage across pages and sessions.

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your device. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login or other settings) over time so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back.

To learn more about how we use cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy (if available) or the settings within your browser. You can restrict or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note, however, that some features of our website may not function correctly if you disable cookies.

4.3 Do-Not-Track Signals

“Do Not Track” (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain browsers. Because there is no accepted industry standard on how to respond to DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

5. Purposes for Which We Process Personal Data

We collect and process your Personal Data for the following purposes:

Providing our websites, platforms, and services: We process your Personal Data to perform our contract with you for the use of our websites, platforms, and services, and to fulfill obligations under applicable terms of use or service.
Promoting the security of our websites and services: We track use of our websites and services, create aggregated non-personal data, verify accounts and activity, investigate suspicious activity, and enforce our terms and policies as necessary to safeguard our systems and applications.
Managing user registrations: If you have registered for an account with us, we process your Personal Data by managing your user account to perform our contract with you in accordance with our terms.
Handling contact and user support requests: If you fill out a web form, request user support, or contact us by other means (including phone), we process your Personal Data to communicate with you and fulfill your request.
Developing and improving our websites and services: We analyze trends and usage of our websites and services to improve functionality, user experience, and overall performance.
Assessing and improving user experience: We process device and usage data to analyze trends and assess/improve the user experience and the services we offer.
Identifying customer opportunities: We evaluate new potential customer opportunities to ensure our products and services meet user demands.
Recording phone calls: We may record phone calls (where lawful) for training, quality assurance, and administration purposes. If required by law, we will obtain your consent or provide the option to object before recording.
Complying with legal obligations: We process your Personal Data to cooperate with public and government authorities, courts, or regulators in accordance with our legal obligations (e.g., responding to lawful requests and court orders).

6. Who Do We Share Personal Data With?

We may share your Personal Data as follows:

Service Providers: We share information with our contracted service providers and any subcontractors as required to offer you our products and services (e.g., hosting providers, crash analytics, content moderation, email or mobile messaging campaigns, technical and customer support). Some service providers may collect information from you directly according to their own privacy policies.
Professional Advisers: In certain instances, we may share your Personal Data with professional advisers—such as lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers—who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance, and accounting services.
Third Parties Involved in a Corporate Transaction: If we are involved in a merger, reorganization, dissolution, or other corporate change, or if our business or assets are acquired by a third party, your Personal Data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

We may also share anonymous or de-identified usage data with service providers to help us analyze and improve our products and services. Additionally, Stratify may share aggregated, anonymized usage data publicly (for example, to show trends about the general use of our services).

7. International Transfer of Personal Data

Any Personal Data that you provide to us may be accessed, shared, or processed by our offices in the United States and/or service providers located in the United States. This may involve the transfer of your Personal Data across international borders. The data protection standards in the United States may differ from—and be lower than—those enforced in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, we maintain appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to ensure the lawful transfer of Personal Data. To request a copy of these safeguards, please contact us as set forth in the Contact Us section below.

8. Children

Our websites and services are not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details provided in the Contact Us section below. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

9. How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Data?

We retain your Personal Data for a period consistent with the original purpose of collection (see Section 5) or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations. When determining retention periods, we consider:

The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data;
The potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure;
The purposes for which we process the data and whether we can achieve those purposes by other means;
Applicable legal requirements and relevant statutes of limitation.

After the applicable retention period has ended, we will securely delete or anonymize your Personal Data. If complete deletion is not technically possible, we will take reasonable steps to prevent any further use of or access to such data.

10.5 Your Rights Relating to Customer Data

As noted above, we may process Personal Data submitted by or for a customer to our software products, platforms, and services in the role of a processor on behalf of our customer (who is the controller). We are not responsible for—and have no control over—the privacy and data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those explained in this Privacy Policy.

If your data has been submitted to us by or on behalf of a Stratify customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with the relevant customer directly.

We implement various security measures to protect your Personal Data, including (where feasible):

Encryption during data transfer and storage
Access controls to limit who can access your data
Confidentiality commitments from our employees and service providers

However, no website or application can guarantee complete security. While we take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of Personal Data, transmission of data over the internet always carries some risk.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes, we may notify you by prominently posting a notice of those changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about our data handling practices.
