This Privacy Policy describes how Wallow collects, uses, and discloses information associated with an identified or identifiable individual (referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Data” ) and what choices you have around this activity.

Applicability of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Wallow’s online productspace productivity tools and platform, including the associated Wallow mobile and desktop applications (collectively, the “Services”), Wallow.app and other Wallow websites (collectively, the “Websites”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, user conferences, etc.) you may have with Wallow. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, then do not access or use the Services, Websites or any other aspect of Wallow’s business. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the only privacy policy that applies to Wallow.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with the Services through the Wallow platform (“Third-Party Services”), or any other third-party products, services or businesses who will provide their services under their own terms of service and privacy policy. In addition, a separate agreement governs delivery, access and use of the Services (the “Customer Agreement”), including the processing of data such as messages, files or other content submitted through Services accounts (collectively, “Customer Data”). The organization (e.g., your employer or another entity or person) that entered into the Customer Agreement (“Customer”) controls its instance of the Services (its “Productspace”) and any associated Customer Data. If you have any questions about specific Productspace settings and privacy practices, please contact the Customer whose Productspace you use. If you have an account, you can check for the contact information of your Productspace owner(s) and administrator(s). If you have received an invitation to join a Productspace but have not yet created an account, you should request assistance from the Customer that sent the invitation.

California Notice of Collection of Personal Information: We collect the information described below under “Information We Collect and Receive” for the business and commercial purposes described below under “Information Use.” To learn more about exercising your California Privacy Rights please review the “California Privacy Rights” section below.

Information We Collect And Receive

Wallow will collect and receive information through operating the Services and Websites, and through other interactions with Wallow. Such information will include Customer Data and other information and data (“Other Information”) in a variety of ways:

  • Customer Data. Customers or individuals granted access to a Productspace by a Customer (“Authorized Users”) routinely submit Customer Data (such as messages, files or other content submitted through Services accounts) to Wallow when using the Services.
  • Other Information. Wallow also collects, generates and/or receives the following categories of Other Information:
    1. Productspace and account information: To create or update a Productspace account, you or our Customer (e.g. your employer) supply Wallow with an email address, phone number, password, domain, and/or other account set up details. In addition, Customers that purchase a paid version of the Services provide Wallow (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 that an Authorized User uses the Services. For example, Wallow logs the Productspaces, people, features, content, and links you view or interact with, the types of files shared and what Third-Party Services are used (if any)
      • Log data. As with most websites and technology services delivered over the Internet, 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 your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page you 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, and your language preferences.
      • Device information. Wallow 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, our Customers and other third-parties that helps us approximate your location. We may, for example, use a business address submitted by your employer (who is our Customer) or an IP address received from your browser or device to determine approximate location to assist with localization or for security purposes.
    3. Cookie information: Wallow uses a variety of cookies and similar technologies in our Websites and Services to help us collect Other Information. For more details about how we use these technologies, and your opt-out controls and other options, please visit our Cookie Policy
    4. Contact information: In accordance with the consent process provided by your device or other third-party API, any contact information that an Authorized User chooses to import (such as importing an address book to find coworkers or calendar from a device or API), forward or upload to the Services (for example, when sending emails to the Services) is collected when using the Services.
    5. Third-Party data: Wallow may receive data about organizations, industries, lists of companies that are customers, 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. Audio and video metadata: Wallow may receive, capture, and store metadata derived from your use of features such as Wallow Video or Clips, and additional related data such as data regarding the date and time of your Wallow Video and the Authorized User that you connected with.
    7. Additional information provided to Wallow: We also receive Other Information when submitted to our Websites or in other ways, such as responses or opinions you provide if you participate in a focus group, contest, activity or event, feedback you provide about our products or services, information you provide if you apply for a job with Wallow, enroll in a certification program or other educational program hosted by Wallow or a vendor, request support, interact with our social media accounts or otherwise communicate with Wallow.

How We Share and Disclose Information

This section describes how Wallow may share and disclose Information, as described in the section entitled 'Information We Collect and Receive' above. Customers determine their own policies and practices for the sharing and disclosure of Information to third parties. Wallow does not control how a Customer or any third party chooses to share or disclose Information.

  • The Customer’s Instructions. Wallow may share and disclose Information in accordance with a Customer’s instructions and with appropriate consent, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and the Customer’s use of Services functionality and in compliance with applicable law and legal process. Some sharing at a Customer’s request may incur additional fees.
    • To enable Wallow to follow our Customers’ instructions, Wallow provides several administrator controls to allow Customers to manage their Productspaces. For example, we follow our Customers’ instructions to enable or disable Authorized Users use of various features.
    • We also follow Customer and Authorized User instructions on how an Authorized User’s profile may be displayed within a Customer’s Productspace or when shared through other features.
  • Displaying the Services. When an Authorized User submits Information, it may be displayed or discoverable to other Authorized Users in the same or connected Productspaces instances. For example, an Authorized User’s email address may be displayed with their Productspace profile, or other profile and organizational information may be displayed to Authorized Users.
  • Collaborating with Others. The Services provide different ways for Authorized Users working in independent Productspaces to collaborate, such as email interoperability. Information, such as an Authorized User’s profile and organizational information, may be shared, subject to the policies and practices of the Productspace(s) you use. For example, depending on the settings of your Productspace, to enable connections with other Authorized Users, your profile may be shared or searchable or discoverable by Authorized Users or other users outside of Productspace(s) you belong to, or shared via email when you invite an Authorized User or other user to collaborate via Wallow Productspaces. In many instances, Wallow includes either administrator controls or user controls, depending on the use case, with respect to external collaboration. Authorized Users may also decide to expand the visibility of certain content and Customer Data, such as files.
