Appointy Privacy Policy

This Privacy Statement covers the information practices, including how the Appointy collects, uses, shares and secures the personal information you provide, of Sites that link to this Privacy Statement (collectively referred to as “Appointy Sites” or “the Appointy Sites”).

Appointy, is an online scheduling software that run on the Appointy https://appointy.com platform. Appointy.com Sites enable Appointy and Appointy Clients to create Sites and applications that run natively on the Appointy platform. When Appointy.com Sites are posted by Appointy, the site will link to this Privacy Statement, and this Privacy Statement applies.

Appointy Sites may contain links to other Sites. The information practices or the content of such other Sites is governed by the privacy statements of such other Sites. The Appointy encourages you to review the privacy statements of other Sites to understand their information practices.

• When expressing an interest in obtaining additional information about the Services, or registering to use the Sites or other Services, Appointy requires you to provide the Appointy with personal contact information, such as name, Appointy name, address, phone number, and email address (“Required Contact Information”).
  
  
• When purchasing the Services, Appointy may also require you to provide billing information, such as billing name and address, credit card number, and the number of employees within the organization that will be using the Services (“Billing Information”).
  
  
• "Publishing Information": We also collect information you submit through our Site or to us for publication on the Site using the publishing tools there. By submitting Publishing Information, you consent to its publication to the extent such information is not Personal Data.
  
  
• Required Contact Information, Billing Information, Publishing Information and any other information you submit to Appointy to or through the Services are referred to collectively as "Data."
  
  As you navigate the Appointy Sites, Appointy may also collect information through the use of commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons (“Web Site Navigational Information”). Web Site Navigational Information includes standard information from your Web browser (such as browser type and browser language), your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, and the actions you take on the Appointy Sites (such as the Web pages viewed and the links clicked). For additional information about the collection of Web Site Navigational Information by Appointy and others, please read the “Web Site Navigational Information” section further below in this policy.
  
  
• Through our “import contacts” feature option, we may also collect information such as the name, Appointy name, address, phone number or email address of contacts that you choose to share with us. When you provide us with personal information about your contacts, we will only use this information for the specific reason for which it is provided, such as to add new records to your Appointy account.
  
  
• Information Collected by Clients - A User (“User” means a person or entity that uses the Service) may store or upload data into the Service. Appointy has no direct relationship with the non Client Users whose Personal Data it may host as part of Client Data. Each Client is responsible for providing notice to Users who are its Clients and third persons concerning the purpose for which the Client collects their Personal Data and how this Personal Data is processed in or through the Service as part of Client Data.
  
  

The Appointy uses Data about Appointy Clients to perform the services requested. For example, if you fill out a “Request a callback” Web form, the Appointy will use the information provided to contact you about your interest in the Services.

The Appointy may also use Data about Appointy Clients for marketing purposes. For example, the Appointy may use information you provide to contact you to further discuss your interest in the Services and to send you information regarding the Appointy, its affiliates, and its partners, such as information about promotions or events.

Appointy uses Web Site Navigational Information to operate and improve the Appointy Sites. The Appointy may also use Web Site Navigational Information alone or in combination with Data about Appointy Clients to provide personalized information about the Appointy. For additional information about the use of Web Site Navigational Information, please read the "Web Site Navigational Information" section further below in this policy.

Appointy may partner with third parties to display advertising on our Sites and Services or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third-party partners may use cookies or similar technologies provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising, please notify us via email, or if located in the European Union visit. Please note you will continue to receive generic ads.

Cookies, Web Beacons and IP Addresses

Appointy uses commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons, to collect information as you navigate the Appointy Sites (“Web Site Navigational Information”). As described more fully below, we and our partners use these cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer Sites and Services, track users’ movements around our Sites and Services, serve targeted advertisements and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. This section describes the types of Web Site Navigational Information used on the Appointy Sites and Services, and how this information may be used.

Cookies

Appointy uses cookies to make interactions with the Appointy Sites easy and meaningful. When you visit one of the Appointy Sites, Appointy servers send a cookie to your computer or device. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you; they merely recognize your Web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to Appointy, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or filling out a Web form (such as a “Request a call-back” or a “14 Day Free Trial” Web form) or have previously identified yourself to Appointy, you remain anonymous to the Appointy. Appointy uses cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device after you close your browser or turn off your computer. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our Sites or Services.
The following sets out how appointy.com uses different categories of cookies and your options for managing cookies’ settings:

Web Beacons

Appointy may use Web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about Clients and Visitors’ usage of the Appointy Sites and interaction with emails from the Appointy. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you viewed a particular Web site or Service tied to the Web beacon, and a description of a Web site or Service tied to the Web beacon. For example, Appointy may place Web beacons in marketing emails that notify the Appointy when you click on a link in the email that directs you to one of the Appointy Sites. Appointy uses Web beacons to operate and improve the Appointy Sites, Services and email communications.

Log Files, IP Addresses, URLs and Other Data

As is true of most Sites, we gather certain information automatically to analyze trends in the aggregate and administer our Sites and Services. This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), device and application identification numbers, your location, your browser type, your Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files you viewed, your searches, your operating system and system configuration information, and date/time stamps associated with your usage. Due to Internet communications standards, when you visit or use the Appointy Websites and Services, we automatically receive the URL of the website from which you came and the website to which you go when you leave our Website. This information is used to analyze overall trends, to help us improve our Websites and Services, to track and aggregate non-personal information, and to provide the Websites and Services. For example, Appointy uses IP addresses to monitor the regions from which Clients and Visitors navigate the Appointy Sites. Appointy also collects IP addresses from Clients when they log into the Services as part of the Appointy “Identity Confirmation” and “IP Range Restrictions” security features

Social Media Features and Single Sign-on

The Appointy Sites may use social media features, such as the Facebook “like” button (“Social Media Features”). These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on the Appointy Web site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. You may be given the option by such Social Media Features to post information about your activities on the Appointy Web site to a profile page of yours that is provided by a third party social media network in order to share with others within your network. Social Media Features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the Appointy Web site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the Appointy providing the relevant Social Media Features. Appointy also allows you to log in to certain of our Sites and Services using sign-in services such as Facebook Connect. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us such as your name and email address to pre-populate our sign-up form.

Do Not Track

Currently, various browsers — including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari — offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to Sites’ visited by the user about the user's browser DNT preference setting. Appointy does not currently commit to responding to browsers' DNT signals with respect to the Appointy's Sites, in part, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. Appointy takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

Appointy may provide bulletin boards, blogs, or chat rooms on the Appointy Sites. Any personal information you choose to submit in such a forum may be read, collected, or used by others who visit these forums, and may be used to send you unsolicited messages. Appointy is not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these forums.
Appointy posts a list of Clients and testimonials on the Appointy Sites that contain information such as Customer names and titles. Appointy obtains the consent of each Customer prior to posting any information on such a list or posting testimonials.

Service Providers

Appointy may share Data about Appointy Visitors, and Clients with the Appointy contracted service providers so that these service providers can provide services on our behalf. These service providers are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide the requested services to us. Without limiting the foregoing, Appointy may also share Data about Appointy Visitors, and Clients with the Appointy service providers to ensure the quality of information provided, and with third–party social networking and media Sites, such as Facebook, for marketing and advertising on those Sites. Unless described in this Privacy Statement, Appointy does not share, sell, rent, or trade any information with third parties for their promotional purposes.

Appointy Affiliates

The Appointy may share Data about Appointy Clients with other companies in order to work with them, including affiliates of Appointy. For example, the Appointy may need to share Data about Appointy Clients with other companies within the Appointy group for customer support, marketing, technical operations and account management purposes.

Business Partners

From time to time, Appointy may partner with other companies to jointly offer products, services, or programs (such as webinars or downloadable content) such as our Reserve with Google partnership. If you purchase, specifically express interest in, or register for a jointly–offered product, service, or program from or through Appointy, the Appointy may share Data about Appointy Clients collected in connection with your purchase or expression of interest with our partner(s). Appointy does not control our business partners’ use of the Data about Appointy Clients that we collect, and their use of the information will be in accordance with their own privacy policies. If you do not wish for your information to be shared in this manner, you may opt not to purchase or specifically express interest in a jointly offered product or service.

Third Parties

Section 4 of this Privacy Statement, Web Site Navigational Information, specifically addresses the information we or third parties collect through cookies and web beacons, and how you can control cookies through your Web browsers. We may also disclose your personal information to any third party with your prior consent.

Billing

Appointy uses a third-party service provider to manage credit card processing. This service provider is not permitted to store, retain, or use Billing Information except for the sole purpose of credit card processing on the Appointy behalf.

Publishing Information

All of your Publishing Information will be publicly available on the Site and therefore accessible by any internet user. Any Publishing Information that you disclose to Apoointy becomes public information and you relinquish any proprietary rights (including but not limited to the rights of confidentiality and copyrights) in such information. You should exercise caution when deciding to include personal or proprietary information in the Publishing Information that you submit to us.

Compelled Disclosure

Appointy reserves the right to use or disclose information provided if required by law or if the Appointy reasonably believes that use or disclosure is necessary to protect the Appointy rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.

• Right to request for deletion of any Personal Information collected about you by Appointy.

  
  You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
  
  

• How to submit an access or deletion request:

  
  If you seek to exercise the foregoing rights to access or delete Personal Information, please contact us at contact@appointy.com. We respond to all requests we receive from you wishing to exercise your CCPA rights within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable data protection laws. By writing to us, you agree to receive communication from us seeking information from you in order to verify you to be the consumer from whom we have collected the personal information and such other information as reasonably required to enable us to honor your request.
  
  Only you, or a person or business entity registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf (an “authorized agent”), may make the requests set forth above. The request should include your contact information and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. In addition, you should provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected the personal information or an authorized representative of that person. In order to protect the security of your personal information, we will not honor a request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. The method used to verify your identity will depend on the type, sensitivity, and value of the information, including the risk of harm to you posed by any authorized access or deletion. Generally speaking, verification will be performed by matching the identifying information provided by you to the personal information that we already have. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request (and will not be made more than twice in a 12-month period). If we cannot comply with a request, or cannot fully comply with a request, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply.
  We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
  
  

• Sale of Personal Information.

  Appointy does not sell your Personal Information, as that term “sell” is defined under the CCPA.
  
  

Appointy offers Visitors, Clients, and Attendees who provide contact information a means to choose how the Appointy uses the information provided. You may manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional communications by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located on the bottom of the Appointy marketing emails. Additionally, you may unsubscribe by contacting us using the information in the “Contacting Us" section below.

Appointy may retain your information for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of collection. For instance, we may retain your information during the time in which you have an account to use our Sites or Services and for a reasonable period of time afterward. We also may retain your information during the period of time needed for Appointy to pursue our legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

If personal information pertaining to you as an individual has been submitted to us by an Appointy customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have to access, correct, amend, or delete such data, please inquire with our customer directly.
