LAST UPDATED: APRIL 19, 2023

  1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE


    This Privacy Policy governs and explains how Unanet Inc. and its affiliates (“Unanet”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collect, disclose, and use your information as we provide services on our website, www.unanet.com, and our affiliated websites (collectively referred to as, the “Site” or “website”) and the software applications, services, and products offered by Unanet and its affiliates (collectively, together with the Site, the “Services”) in addition to your rights related to such practices. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that we handle as a “processor” or “service provider” on behalf of our customers such as when your employer has purchased access rights to our Services, and you use our Services through your employer. Our processing of such information is governed by our agreements with each customer. We do not control what our customers do with the information we process on their behalf. For information that we process on behalf of a customer, please see the customer's privacy policy or contact that customer for more information and to exercise any rights with regard to such information.


    Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you consent to Unanet’s collection and use of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you do not want us to handle your information as set forth herein, please do not use the Services.

    If you are a resident of California, please see the Privacy Notice for California Residents for additional information.

    Unanet has three different types of users: Site Visitors, Customer Account Administrators, and End-Users. Site Visitors and Customer Account Administrators are also referred to as “you.”


    SITE VISITORS

    Users of the site are “Site Visitors.” Site Visitors may either be individuals who only browse the site or use Services available on the Site (such as Unanet University) or they may be End Users who also visit the Site. Unanet is the data controller of the information collected through the site about Site Visitors.


    CUSTOMER ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATORS

    Customer Account Administrators” are individuals that are employees, contractors, consultants, or other authorized representatives of a Customer who administer the Customer’s Unanet account, including to pay for the Customer’s access to the Unanet Services. Unanet is the data controller of the information collected about Customer Account Administrators.


    END-USERS

    End Users” use Unanet software applications, services, and products through Unanet’s customers (e.g., your employer or another entity or person, referred to as the “Customer”) pursuant to specific terms agreed to between Unanet and Customer in a separate agreement between Unanet and Customer that governs delivery, access, and use of the Services (the “Customer Agreement”). The Customer controls its instance of the Services and is the data controller of the information provided by or on behalf of a Customer and processed through the Services about End-Users (the “Customer Data”). When processing Customer Data governed by the Customer Agreement, Unanet is a data processor or service provider, meaning that we collect and process such information solely on behalf of the Customer for the purposes set forth in the Customer Agreement.

    However, with respect to End-User email addresses used to access the Unanet Services, Unanet is the data controller.

    Customer Data includes all attachments, files, documents, tasks, projects and project names, associated messages, team names, schedules, expenses, and other content submitted by End-Users through the Services. The Customer, and not Unanet, determines its own, internal policies regarding storage, access, modification, deletion, sharing, and retention of Customer Data. A Customer may provide or remove access to the Services, manage permissions and settings, export data, control teams and projects, and enable or disable third party integrations. If you have any questions about the Customer’s settings in the Services and privacy practices, please contact such Customer directly.
