Privacy Policy1. Introduction. Welcome to Signlz Inc. (“Signlz App”, "we", "us" and "our"). Signlz provides software and services that unify your email, customer communication channels, and apps in one platform, helping teammates work better together. The “Websites” means Signlz’s websites (including without limitation www.signlz.co and any successor URLs, mobile or localized versions, and related domains and subdomains), and the “Services” means Signlz’s products, applications, and services, in each case in whatever format they may be offered now or in the future. As you use the Services, we collect and process information from and about you in order to provide you with access to the Services, enhance your experience while using the Service, and communicate with you.2. Applicability of this Privacy Policy. This policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to your use of the Services and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries) you may have with Signlz. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, do not access or use our Services. A separate agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) may be in place between your organization and Signlz that governs delivery, access, and use of the Service by users who are authorized by your organization to use its instance of the Service (such Customer-specific instance of the Service is referred to herein as the “Customer Workspace”). The entity who enters into the Customer Agreement with Signlz controls the Customer Workspace used by its authorized users and may set certain rules related to your utilization of the Service, including limitations regarding which third-party applications you can connect to via the Service. If you have questions about your organization’s specific Service settings and practices you should contact them directly.3. Personal Data We Collect

When you register for a Signlz account you are required to provide certain personal information (the “Personal Data”), such as your name, and email address, as well as other information that you voluntarily choose to add to your account profile, like a profile photo. If you choose to register for an account utilizing your credentials from a third-party service (such as Google), then your name and email address will be provided to us as permitted by your profile settings within that third-party service. If you are registering for a paid account, you will also be required to provide payment information, such as payment card details (collected by our payment service provider), and Single Sign On (SSO) SAML 2.0 credentials. We will inform you when requesting your Personal Data, if certain data must be provided or if it is optional. We will also inform you of the consequences should you not wish to provide this data. We also collect the information that you may choose to submit to our customer support team, for example regarding a question you have or a problem you are experiencing with our Services. This may include your contact information, a summary of the problem you are experiencing, and any other documentation or information that would be helpful in resolving the issue (which, at your option, may include Personal Data).

For example, you may authorize our Services to access and display messages from within an instant messaging application, or to access and display files from a third-party document-sharing service. The information we receive when you integrate our Services with a Third Party Service depends on the settings, permissions, and privacy policy associated with that Third Party Service. Please check the privacy settings and privacy policy of these Third Party Services to understand what data may be disclosed to and shared with us.
Data from Business Partners
If you purchase our Services through a reseller or other Signlz business partner (a “Business Partner”), that Business Partner may provide certain information to us, such as your name, email address, company information, and financial information related to the Services you purchase.
