2. The provision of personal data is voluntary; however, failure to provide them will prevent the execution of the agreement.

3. Personal data are collected and processed for the purposes of implementation of the legitimate interests of the administrator of personal data, in particular: the execution of the sales process of services, allowing the provision of certain services by electronic means, employment, making settlements, operating the electronic account in the data administrator’s network, handling incoming queries or requests, communication regarding transactions, taxation and accounting purposes, and record-keeping and statistical purposes. Whereas, after consent is obtained, personal data are collected and processed by the personal data administrator for the purposes of: cookies generation; collecting data from websites for marketing purposes, including direct marketing, i.e., to receive from Nozbe through the use of a means of distance communication (e-mail, SMS, phone) any materials of commercial, marketing and informational nature, connected to the business activity carried out by the data administrator.

4. By creating your Nozbe Personal account you agree to receive practical productivity-related Nozbe newsletters and sneak peeks at Nozbe Personal deals every few weeks. No spam. No third-parties involved.

5. A natural person to which the data refers has the right to request from the administrator access to the data, their rectification, erasure or restriction of their processing at any time, as well as the right to object to the processing of data, move the data and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority – the President of the Office of Personal Data Protection.

6. Management of consents given can be done via the Customer Support e-mail address: questions@nozbe.com.

7. The withdrawal / modification of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing, which was made on the basis of the consent before its withdrawal / modification.

8. The data will be processed for no longer than it is necessary to achieve the above objectives; however, no longer than until the withdrawal or modification of a given consent and, after this time, they may be processed until the expiry of the limitation period.

9. The administrator of data takes necessary measures to ensure the safety of personal data collected and processed, and in the event of their breach, informs competent state authorities to enable detection of those responsible for the breach and prevent future breaches. Any natural person affected by a data breach will be notified of such fact.

10. Data stored by Nozbe include data required for creating an Account: name and surname, e-mail address, account type, IP address, geolocation data obtained on the basis of the IP address, and data necessary for processing the payment in case the user has a paid Account: address and billing information (optional – if the User wants an invoice).

11. Nozbe also stores other data added to the Nozbe Personal system by the User while using the Service, ie.:

    • e-mail addresses of members on the team, provided the User creates an account in Nozbe Personal;
    • projects: their names, descriptions and tasks they contain;
    • tasks: their names, parameters (such as date, required time, category) and task comments; and,
    • files: files uploaded to Nozbe servers as attachments to tasks or projects and tokens of the third-party services used by the User: Google Drive, Calendar, Evernote, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive.

12. Using the Service involves entering various data on the Account by the User, including project names, categories, tasks or comments. Nozbe does not process this data in any way except to synchronize them across the User’s Devices, keeping them on the Nozbe servers and performing regular backups. The privacy of our Users’ data is Nozbe’s biggest priority; therefore, Nozbe employees do not have access to the data on the User’s Account unless the User has given explicit consent to solve the User’s problem. If the User of the Service regularly enters personal data of other natural persons such as contractors, clients, co-workers or other, the User may ask to sign a Personal Data Processing Agreement with Nozbe by sending an enquiry to questions@nozbe.com.

13. To optimize the way Nozbe Personal functions and the way we communicate with Users and people interested in our Service, Nozbe uses several external services:

    • GetResponse - for sending the Nozbe Newsletter and other emails addressed to the Service Users. In GetResponse, Nozbe stores the User’s name and surname (if provided) and their e-mail address, as well as some additional information about the type of the User’s Nozbe Personal account to help send targeted mail: account type, account validity period, promotional code used, language, country and other minor data.
    • Mailgun - to send Nozbe Personal transactional e-mails, such as reminders, e-mails with a password reset link, etc., as well as to handle incoming e-mails, which the Nozbe Personal system transforms into tasks: username.PIN@nozbe.me. The data stored in this case is: the User’s name and surname, e-mail address and the contents of the messages sent to the Nozbe service on the personalized e-mail address, username.PIN@nozbe.me.
    • Gmail and Sugester - to handle communication with clients contacting Nozbe’s customer support. As part of this procedure, we store the content of e-mails sent to the Nozbe customer service department at questions@nozbe.com.
    • Rollbar and Fabric - for error detection in Nozbe Personal applications. If an error is detected, the User’s e-mail address and name (if provided), as well as the Nozbe Personal account ID, are added to the bug report.
    • Google Analytics - for statistical purposes related to the need to optimize the look and functionality of Nozbe websites and offers. With Google Analytics we acquire demographic and geolocation data of Users as well as the information on the equipment they use and their behavior when visiting the Nozbe websites.
    • Disqus - to handle comments on the Nozbe.com blog. As part of this process, the following are saved: e-mail address, first and last name (if provided) and the content of the comment written on the Nozbe website.
    • Facebook - for communicating with users and promoting the Nozbe service. On Facebook, we use the “Facebook Custom Audience” service, where we store the Users' e-mail addresses and the types of accounts they have in Nozbe for targeting Facebook ads. We also have a Facebook pixel set up. This service lets us track Facebook users visiting the Nozbe.com website in order to be able to reach them (or not) with an advertisement on Facebook.

14. Each Nozbe Personal User can download (as a zip archive) all his/her data kept in the Nozbe Personal system: projects, tasks, files attached and any other information Nozbe poses. In order to do this, a User needs to log in to their Nozbe Personal account and go to: “Settings” / “Account” / “Backup your Data (Export).”

15. Cookies on the Nozbe Personal website. The Nozbe Personal website saves cookies on visitors' devices. Nozbe uses two types of cookies - session and persistent. Session files are stored only until a visitor leaves the Nozbe website (by going to a different webpage, logging out or closing the browser). Persistent files are stored on a user’s device until they are removed by the user or for a period of time specified in their settings. Nozbe uses the following cookies:

• Necessary for proper activity of the Nozbe.com/personal websites and Nozbe Personal services:

  • Assets.nozbe.com (to track traffic on the Nozbe websites for the purpose of operating the affiliate program and for internal statistics used to improve the service);
  • Geoip.nozbe.com (to determine the country of residence of the visitor in order to show our pricing offer in the local currency); and,
  • A general cookie (which enables us to set or save the language of the visitor).

• Optional cookies:

  • Marketing cookies - collecting data for statistics that enable us to learn Users' preferences and behaviors. The analysis of these statistics is anonymous. Nozbe uses Google Tag Manager to accomplish this.

• Each visitor can change their browser settings and disable cookies at any time or ask to obtain information each time they are placed on their device. To disable or limit the use of cookies on your computer, please read the information available on the manufacturer’s website of your browser.

16. Read more on our secure server infrastructure and triple-backups.

17. The main Nozbe server is located in Germany (Nurnberg). Backup copies of customer data are created live to servers on different locations: one in Ireland, and one in Germany (Frankfurt). Other servers with Nozbe support services such as push notifications, printing and integration with other services or system reports are located in Ireland and in Germany.

18. Users can integrate Nozbe Personal with cloud storage and file hosting services: Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and One Drive. The integration enables you to add - as a comment to a task or a project - a file you store in one of the cloud-based systems mentioned above. Nozbe won’t store the copy of the file on its servers but it will set it as shared and will add a unique link to the original file stored in the cloud.

19. The Agreement entered into between Nozbe and the User upon registration of the Account, as well as the services provided on its basis by Nozbe, are subject to Polish law. The choice of a foreign law shall not, however, deprive consumers entering into an agreement with Nozbe of their rights resulting from the mandatory provisions of law of their country of permanent residence.

20. Any disputes which may arise in connection with the performance of the agreement entered into between Nozbe and the User shall be resolved by a Polish court having jurisdiction over the registered office of Nozbe. This shall not, however, deprive consumers entering into an agreement with Nozbe of their rights relating to the territorial jurisdiction of a court.
