Privacy is of great importance to us. We do not actively collect Personal Information for the purpose of selling or marketing that Personal Information to third parties. In other words, we do not sell customer lists. Personal Information may be collected about users and visitors to the Website, as well as our customers and their end users who interact with our Services. By visiting our website located at https://www.shopfloorsolutions.ca/, including subpages, (collectively, the "Website"), or using the Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy and you hereby consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you are using services operated by one of our customers, then the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information may be subject to that customer's relevant privacy policy (including how it may reference this Privacy Policy), and Shopfloor Solutions will be entitled to collect, use and disclose your Personal Information in accordance with that customer's privacy policy (including how it may reference this Privacy Policy) and Shopfloor Solutions' rights under applicable law and Shopfloor Solutions' rights pursuant to Shopfloor Solutions' contract with that customer.

2. COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

2.1 What we Collect

Set out below are the ways in which we may collect Personal Information:

  • Personal Information Collected in the Course of the Services. We develop custom automation applications that operate within our clients' Google Workspace environments. Through these applications, we may process Personal Information on behalf of our clients, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, job/project information, time tracking data, and business documents. This information is collected through web forms, mobile applications, and automated workflows that we build for our clients. The data remains stored in our clients' own Google Workspace accounts. If a customer has a privacy policy that applies to its end users, then that privacy policy shall take precedence over this privacy policy, and subject to our obligations under applicable law and our contractual arrangements with the applicable customer, we will comply with that privacy policy.
  • Device information. We may collect information about devices you use to access the Services and information about how you use the Services, such as your IP address and which websites you visited before accessing our Services.
  • Logs. Our servers automatically record information created by your use of our Services to help us diagnose and fix technical issues, and to improve the overall quality and user experience of our Services. Logs may include information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, details of how you used our Services (such as the functions you asked our Services to perform), diagnostic information related to the Services (such as crash activity reports), the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, device and application IDs, search terms, and cookie information.
  • Cookies. We use technologies like cookies and pixel tags to gather information about how you are interacting with the Services, which may include identifying your IP address, browser type, and referring page.
  • Employee and Contractor Candidate Information. When we seek candidates for potential jobs or contracting engagements with Shopfloor Solutions, we collect information that those candidates choose to provide to us when applying, which may include contact information, education and employment history, credentials, place of residence and other information the candidate believes to be relevant. For people who become our employees or contractors, we will typically retain the information provided by those candidates in the application process along with additional information to manage their employment or contractor relationship with us, including, without limitation, information related to income tax reporting and withholding and enrollment in Shopfloor Solutions benefit plans (in each case, to the extent applicable for the relevant relationship).
  • Marketing Information. From time to time, we may conduct surveys or hold contests or other events and in connection with such surveys, contests, or events, we may collect information you elect to provide about yourself, such as your name, email address, telephone number, organization name and address; and general information about the company for whom you work. In addition, we may use third-party service providers to collect business-related information about your employer such as its name, size, and publicly available revenue in connection with potentially offering the Services to your employer.
  • Shopfloor Solutions Suppliers and Partners. Shopfloor Solutions collects business contact information of individuals who work for our suppliers and other partners to communicate with those suppliers and partners about their business relationship with us.

2.2 Use of Personal Information

We may use your Personal Information and Usage Information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and the context of our relationship with you. We will use your Personal Information and Usage Information collected through the Site for the following purposes:

  1. provide, operate, maintain and improve the Services;
  2. send technical notices, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages;
  3. complete transactions (including end user transactions), and send related information to the relevant transaction participants, including confirmations and invoices;
  4. respond to comments, questions, and requests and provide customer service and support;
  5. communicate with you and provide news or information about us;
  6. process your authorized payments for our Services;
  7. investigate and prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorized access to the Services, and other illegal activities;
  8. monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with the Services, including generating aggregated and anonymized statistics;
  9. conduct business and contractual relationships that we have with various persons and companies (such as customers, suppliers, partners and employees);
  10. for other purposes which we will notify you about and seek your consent; and
  11. as otherwise specifically described in this Privacy Policy.

3. STORAGE LOCATION AND TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Shopfloor Solutions develops custom automation applications that operate within our clients' Google Workspace environments. Personal Information processed by our applications is stored on servers managed by Google LLC, which operates data centers in Canada, the United States, and other global locations in accordance with Google's infrastructure policies.

When clients authorize our applications to access their Google Workspace data (including Gmail, Drive, and other Google services), that data remains stored in the client's own Google Workspace environment. Shopfloor Solutions does not maintain separate data storage infrastructure or transfer client data to independent servers operated by Shopfloor Solutions.

For our own business operations (including client relationship management, invoicing, and internal communications), Shopfloor Solutions stores data on servers located in Canada and the United States through the service providers listed in Schedule "A" below.

You acknowledge and agree that Personal Information may be processed in Canada, the United States, and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Such Personal Information may be accessible to law enforcement and governmental agencies in those jurisdictions under lawful access regimes or court order.

4. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

4.1 Service Providers and Business Partners

We may from time to time employ third parties to perform tasks for us and we may need to share Personal Information (including account information) with them to perform those tasks. Unless we tell you differently, such third parties do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary for them to perform the relevant tasks for us. The third parties we currently engage include third-party companies and individuals employed or contracted by us to provide certain capabilities within the Services and for certain general business functions, including the provision of database management, payment processing and customer relationship management tools, including the Sub-Processors.

4.2 Business Transfers

If our business (or substantially all of our assets) are acquired by a third party, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information may be made available or otherwise transferred to the new controlling entity, where permitted under applicable law. Your Personal Information may also be transferred in connection with due diligence for any such transactions. In all cases, if any such transactions occur, your Personal Information will remain subject to the restrictions and protections set forth in this Privacy Policy.

4.3 With Your Consent

If we need to use or disclose any Personal Information in a way not identified in this Privacy Policy, we will notify you and/or obtain consent as required under applicable privacy laws.

4.4 As Required by Law

We may disclose your Personal Information to third parties without your consent if we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other users, or anyone else (including the rights or property of anyone else) that could be harmed by such activities. Further, we may disclose Personal Information when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is required by and in accordance with the law.

We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary to:

  • satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request (including in pursuant to subpoenas, civil investigative demands, or similar processes); enforce our contracts or user agreements, including investigation of potential violations hereof; and
  • detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.

The above may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, spam/malware prevention, and security purposes. Notwithstanding the general terms of this policy, the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information may be made outside of the terms of this Privacy Policy to the extent provided for in any applicable privacy or other legislation in effect from time to time, or pursuant to court orders (including in respect to depositions, interrogatories, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, and other court or regulatory-mandated discovery processes).

5. RETENTION

We will keep your Personal Information for as long as it remains necessary for the identified purpose or as required by law, which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with you. Personal Information in respect to financial transactions is retained for at least five years by Shopfloor Solutions for financial compliance and to meet regulatory requirements. We may retain certain data as necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained Personal Information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

6. ACCESS, CORRECTION AND ACCURACY

You have the right to access the Personal Information we hold about you in order to verify the Personal Information we have collected in respect to you and to have a general account of our uses of that Personal Information. Upon receipt of your written request, we will provide you with a copy of your Personal Information, although in certain limited circumstances, and as permitted under law, we may not be able to make all relevant Personal Information available to you, such as where that Personal Information also pertains to another individual. In such circumstances we will provide reasons for the denial to you upon request. We will endeavor to deal with all requests for access to and modifications of Personal Information in a timely manner.

We will make every reasonable effort to keep your Personal Information accurate and up to date, and we will provide you with mechanisms to update, correct, delete or add to your Personal Information as appropriate. As appropriate, this amended Personal Information will be transmitted to those parties to which we are permitted to disclose your Personal Information. Having accurate Personal Information about you enables us to give you the best possible service.
