Privacy and Data Security Statement

This Privacy Policy describes the ways we collect, store, use and manage the information you provide to us or we collect in connection with your use of our Apps and Websites.

1. Definitions

2. When We Act as Processor

Our Apps and Websites are intended to be used by organizations and businesses. Where we provide an App to an organization (e.g., to your employer or a client of your employer) that organization controls the information processed with the use of the App or by the App. This organization is the controller of the information, including your Personal Data, and is responsible for the accounts used to access the App, including your Atlassian account.

If this is the case:

  • this Policy does not apply to our interactions with you, since in this context we act solely as a processor of your data on behalf of controller (e.g. organization you work with/for);

  • we are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of a controller's organization, which may be different than this Policy; and

  • please direct your data privacy questions and requests to your organization, as your use of the App is subject to that organization's policies.

3. Third Parties Processing Your Personal Data

This Policy does not cover the collection, processing, storage or use of your Personal Data, by Atlassian or any other third parties. We do not control when or how third parties collect, process, store or use your Personal Data. Please, refer to the privacy policies of third parties in order to learn and understand how and when they use your information.

For example, the Atlassian Privacy Policy governs the collection and use of your information by Atlassian.

4. When We Act as Controller

There might be cases when you use our Apps not as an employee, contractor or representative of an organization, or when we, not your organization, determine the purposes and means of the processing, including collection, of your Personal Data. This Policy applies to such cases and they will be described further in more detail.

5. What Data We Collect and How We Do That

When you visit our Website, use our App or contact us directly we collect and process your Personal Data. The ways we collect it can be broadly categorized into the following:

5.1. Information you provide to us directly

When you use our Apps and Websites we might ask you to provide Personal Data to us. For example, we ask for your contact information when you set up an account with us, contact us with questions or request support, or you may provide your Personal Data to us when you provide feedback or make posts on our blog, forum or wiki pages.

5.2. Information we collect automatically

We collect some information about you automatically when you visit our Websites, like your region, type of device you use, type of browser you use, language of your browser. We collect some information about you automatically when you use certain Cloud Apps, like the type of device you use, type of browser you use, language of your browser or the screen resolution of your monitor or device. For certain Cloud Apps we also collect App-specific usage data, including App-specific events or actions, like the App features you use, the links you click on, the type, size and file formats of attachments you upload to the App, and how you interact with others when using the App. This information is useful for us as it helps us get a better understanding of how you are using and configuring our Apps and Websites so that we can improve them and continue to provide the best experience possible.

Some of this information is collected using cookies.

Please note that, by using the Websites and/or Apps, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this Policy.

We use persistent cookies to recognize you when you use our Cloud Apps. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser. Most browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You may be able to reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you do not want us to use cookies, please be sure to block or disable them in your browser.

We also use session cookies that allow us to link your actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close it. Session cookies are created temporarily and are deleted once the browser window is closed.

We use our own cookies (first party cookies):

  • to remember your choice about cookies on the Websites and for the Apps;

  • to recognize you when you visit the Website and Apps;

  • to remember your preferences.

Web browsers will enable you to see what cookies you have got, allow you to delete them all or on an individual basis, and enable you to block or allow cookies for all websites or individually selected websites.

Please refer to an applicable App-specific privacy policy for more details on how and for which purposes we collect usage and other non-personal information.

5.3. Information we get from third parties

We might collect Personal Data about you from third parties like Atlassian or your organization (e.g. from your employer or from other users of the App). For example, Atlassian provides us with billing and technical contacts details (name, address, email and phone number) upon installation of the App.

If you are an individual in the European Economic Area (EEA) the provisions of this section apply to you.

Where we collect Personal Data, we will only process it when we have the legal basis for the processing set out in applicable data protection laws. Such legal bases are:

  • The performance of a contract. We may process your Personal Data where we need to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract or where it is necessary for the performance of a contract.

  • The legitimate interests. Your Personal Data may be processed when we, other companies in our group of companies or third parties (e.g., your employer) have a business or commercial reason to process your Personal Data.

  • A legal obligation. Various laws and regulations may impose certain obligations on us. To comply with them we have to process your Personal Data.

  • Your consent. In certain limited cases we process your Personal Data based on your consent, for example, when it is required for direct marketing purposes and you are not an employee, contractor or representative of an organization that has been interested in or has used our Apps.

Where your Personal Data is transferred outside the EEA, it will be transferred to countries where we have compliant transfer mechanisms in place to protect your Personal Data, in particular, by implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses to the contracts with the entities the data is transferred to or by using other appropriate legal mechanisms to safeguard the transfer.

10. Security

We are committed to protecting your Personal Data and have appropriate technical and organizational measures in place to protect data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We process all Personal Data using industry-standard techniques. We restrict access to such information to our employees, contractors, and agents who need that information in order to process it. Our security team continuously monitors security systems, event logs, notifications and alerts from all systems to identify and manage threats.

11. Data Retention

Some data is controlled by your organization, some data you can delete whenever you like, some data is deleted automatically, and some data we retain for longer periods of time when necessary. When the data is being deleted, we make sure that your data is safely and completely removed from our servers or retained only in anonymized form.

When the App is made available to you through an organization (e.g., your employer), we retain your information as long as required by the controller (your organization).

11.2. Information for marketing communications

If you have not opted-out or have consented (as the case may be) to receive marketing communications from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences for a reasonable period of time from the date you last used or expressed interest in our Apps.

11.3. Information retained for extended time periods for limited purposes

Sometimes business and legal requirements oblige us to retain certain information, for specific purposes, for an extended period of time. Reasons we might retain some data for longer periods of time include:

  • To protect you, other persons, and us from fraud, abuse, illegal activity and unauthorized access, for example, when we suspect someone is committing fraud.

  • Right to access. You have the right to access (and obtain a copy of, if required) your Personal Data.

  • Right to rectification. You have the right to update your Personal Data or to correct any inaccuracies.

This right may not be available to you if there is no authority dealing with data protection in your country.
