Trokt Privacy Policy
Posted: February 15, 2018
Effective: February 15, 2018
Updated: June 1, 2022
Thank you for using Trokt! Here we describe how we collect, use, and handle your information when you use our websites, software, and services ("Services").
What & Why
We collect and use the following information to provide, improve, and protect our Services:
Account. We collect, and associate with your account, information that could include your name, email address, phone number, payment info, physical address, and account activity. Some of our services let you access your accounts and your information with other service providers.
Services. Our Services are designed to make it simple for you to store Your Data, collaborate with others, and work across multiple devices. To make that possible, we store, process, and transmit Your Data—like files, messages, comments, and authorizations—as well as information related to it. This related information can be things like your profile information that makes it easier to collaborate and share Your Data with others. Our Services provide you with different options for sharing Your Data.
Usage. We collect information related to how you use the Services, including actions you take in your account (like sharing, editing, viewing, and moving files or folders). This helps us provide you with features like the "Recent Activity" list.
We also collect information from and about the devices you use to access the Services. This includes things like IP addresses, the type of browser and device you use, the web page you visited before coming to our sites, and identifiers associated with your devices. Your devices (depending on their settings) may also transmit location information to the Services.
Cookies and other technologies. We use technologies like cookies and pixel tags to provide, improve, protect and promote our Services. For example, cookies help us with things like remembering the layout of your files, folders, or documents for your next visit, understanding how you are interacting with our Services, and improving them based on that information. You can set your browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit your ability to use the Services. If our systems receive a DNT:1 signal from your browser, we will respond to that signal as outlined here.
With whom
We may share information as discussed below, but we will not sell it to advertisers or other third parties.
Others working for Trokt. Trokt uses certain trusted third parties (for example, providers of customer support and IT services) to help us provide, improve, protect, and promote our Services. These third parties will access your information only to perform tasks on our behalf in compliance with this Privacy Policy, and we will remain responsible for their handling of your information per our instructions.
Other users. Our Services display information like your name, organization name, team name, and email address to other users in places like your user profile and sharing notifications. When you register your Trokt account with an email address on a domain owned by your employer or organization, we may help collaborators find you and your team by making some of your basic information—like your name, team name, profile picture, and email address—visible to other users in the same Trokt group or Member account. This helps us show you teams you can join, and helps other users add you to appropriate documents.
Certain features let you make additional information available to others.
Other applications. You can also give third parties access to your information and account - for example, via Trokt APIs. Just remember that their use of your information will be governed by their privacy policies and terms.
Trokt's use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Trokt Member Admins. If you are a user of a Trokt Member organization, your administrator may have the ability to access and control your Trokt Member organization account. Please refer to your organization's internal policies if you have questions about this. If you are not a Trokt Member user but interact with a Trokt Member user (by, for example, joining a document owned by a Trokt Member organization), members of that organization may be able to view the name, email address, profile picture, and IP address that was associated with your account at the time of that interaction.
Our Responsibility to Law Enforcement. We may disclose your information to third parties if we determine that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with the law; (b) protect any person from death or serious bodily injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of Trokt or our users; or (d) protect Trokt's property rights.
Stewardship of your data is critical to us and a responsibility that we embrace. We believe that our users' data should receive the same legal protections regardless of whether it's stored on our services or on their home computer's hard drive. We will abide by the following Government Request Principles when receiving, scrutinizing and responding to government requests (including national security requests) for our users' data:
- Be transparent,
- Fight blanket requests,
- Protect all users and
- Provide trusted services.
Changes
If we are involved in a reorganization, merger, acquisition or sale of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that deal. We will notify you (for example, via a message to the email address associated with your account) of any such deal and outline your choices in that event.
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, and will post the most current version on our website. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will notify you.
