Propel Privacy Policy

Overview

Propel Software Solutions, Inc., ("Propel", "we", "us" and/or "our") respects the privacy of our customers, business partners, event and webinar attendees, job applicants and visitors ("you", "your") to the Propel website (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy describes what personal information Propel collects and how that personal information is used and your choices regarding the use, access and correction of your personal information in furtherance of Propel's legitimate interests to collect and use this information. This Privacy Policy applies to the Site and other webpages in which we post and directly link to this Privacy Policy.

Customer Data

Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. A “controller” determines the purposes and means (or the why and the how) of processing personal information. A “processor”, which is sometimes referred to as a “service provider,” processes personal information on behalf of a controller subject to contractual restrictions.

Our customers rely on our services to help them manage and process large amounts of data, which may include personal information, spanning across geographic regions. We refer to this type of data and personal information as “Customer Data.” When we process Customer Data, we generally act as a processor. This means we process Customer Data on behalf of our customers subject to restrictions set forth in our contracts with them.

This Privacy Policy does not cover or address how we or our customers process Customer Data. In addition, we are generally not permitted to respond to individuals’ requests relating to Customer Data. As a result, we recommend referring to the privacy notice of the customer with which each individual has a relationship for information on how they engage processors, like us, to process Customer Data on their behalf.
