Data Usage Policy

Altrum (including Altrum.com, altrumhonors.com, altrumreconnaissance.com and store.altrum.com may collect and receive Customer Data and other information and data (“Other Information”) in a variety of ways:

  • Customer Data. Customers or individuals granted access to a Workspace by a Customer (“Authorized Users”) routinely submit Customer Data to Altrum when using the Services.
  • Other Information. Altrum also collects, generates and/or receives Other Information:
    1. Workspace Information. To conduct business with us, you or your Customer (e.g., your employer) supply Altrum with an email address, phone number, domain and/or similar account details. In addition, Customers that pay for services online provide Altrum (or its payment processors) with billing details such as credit card information, banking information and/or a billing address.
    2. Usage Information.
      • Services Metadata. When an Authorized User interacts with the Services, metadata is generated that provides additional context about the way Authorized Users work.
      • Log data. As with most websites, our servers automatically collect information when you access or use our Websites or Services and record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited before using the Website or Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data.
      • Device information. Altrum collects information about devices accessing the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and crash data. Whether we collect some or all of this Other Information often depends on the type of device used and its settings.
      • Location information. We receive information from you, your Customer and other third-parties that helps us approximate your location. We may, for example, use a business address submitted by your employer, or an IP address received from your browser or device to determine approximate location. Altrum may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device.
    3. Cookie Information. Altrum uses cookies and similar technologies in our Websites and Services that help us collect Other Information. The Websites and Services may also include cookies and similar tracking technologies of third parties, which may collect Other Information about you via the Websites and Services and across other websites and online services. For more details about how we use these technologies, please see our Cookie Policy.
    4. Third Party Services. Customer can choose to permit or restrict Third Party Services. Typically, Third Party Services are software that integrate with our Services, and Customer can permit its Authorized Users to enable and disable these integrations. Once enabled, the provider of a Third Party Service may share certain information with Altrum. For example, if a cloud storage application is enabled to permit files to be imported, we may receive user name and email address of Authorized Users, along with additional information that the application has elected to make available to Altrum to facilitate the integration. Authorized Users should check the privacy settings and notices in these Third Party Services to understand what data may be disclosed to Altrum. When a Third Party Service is enabled, Altrum is authorized to connect and access Other Information made available to Altrum in accordance with our agreement with the Third Party Provider. We do not, however, receive or store passwords for any of these Third Party Services when connecting them to the Services.
    5. Third Party Data. Altrum may receive data about organizations, industries, Website visitors, marketing campaigns and other matters related to our business from parent corporation(s), affiliates and subsidiaries, our partners or others that we use to make our own information better or more useful. This data may be combined with Other Information we collect and might include aggregate level data, such as which IP addresses correspond to zip codes or countries. Or it might be more specific: for example, how well an online marketing or email campaign performed.
    6. Additional Information Provided to Altrum. We receive Other Information when submitted to our Websites or if you participate in a focus group, contest, activity or event, apply for a job, request support, interact with our social media accounts or otherwise communicate with Altrum.

Generally, no one is under a statutory or contractual obligation to provide any Customer Data or Other Information (collectively, “Information”). However, certain Information is collected automatically and, if some Information, such as contact details, is not provided, we may be unable to provide the Services.

How We Use Information
Customer Data will be used by Altrum in accordance with Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and Customer’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law.

Altrum uses Other Information in furtherance of our legitimate interests in operating our Services, Websites and business. More specifically, Altrum uses Other Information:

  • To investigate and help prevent security issues and abuse.

If Information is aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, Altrum may use it for any business purpose. To the extent Information is associated with an identified or identifiable natural person and is protected as personal data under applicable data protection law, it is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Data.”
