Perforce Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on its own behalf, and on behalf of each its subsidiaries, affiliates, and related organizations (including Rogue Wave Software, Inc., Puppet, Inc., and Perfecto Mobile Inc.) (collectively, “Perforce,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. 

We have developed this privacy policy (the “Policy”) to provide you with information on how we collect personal information from you, what we do – and do not do – with your personal information, and what your rights are with respect to such personal information provided to us.  This applies to information we collect on any of our websites that link to this Policy as well as personal information we gather off-line. 

For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Perforce is a data controller that determines the purposes and means of processing with regard to the personal information processing described in this Policy.   


2. Information we collect and how we collect it

Personal information (or “personal data”) is any information that can identify you, whether directly or indirectly. We process different types of personal information (for example, your name, company name, email address, home and/or work address, and/or telephone number). 

Most personal information that we process is collected from you voluntarily and directly such as:

  •  your name and contact information when you subscribe to our mailing lists and company newsletter;
  • information you provide when interacting with our Public Depot, KnowledgeBase, Perfecto Services Platform, user lists, and weblog or when reporting a problem with the websites;
  • contents of correspondence and conversations you have with us, including conversations using our chat bot feature and the contents of email messages and chat messages that you send us on any platform;
  • information you provide registering with Gliffy, billing information for Gliffy Premium, and any feedback provided to us;

  • credit card and billing information in case of online purchases or other payments;
  • your access credentials, such as your login id and password; and
  • information submitted in any testimonial, comment, or other feedback message on a blog or other public- forum hosted on the Websites.

You are under no obligation to provide such information.  However, certain services we provide may not function or may not function completely if you do not provide certain information.  For example, we may be unable to provide customer support in the event that relevant contact details, or information related to the use of our products or services, is withheld. 

We also collect personal information about you indirectly by observing your activities and behavior on our websites.  This includes:

  • information about the devices you use to access our website, such as IP address, browser type and version, operating system type and version;
  • the address of any webpage that referred you to us, the pages you access, and the date and time of such access; and
  • information about your interests.

Please note that we may use third-party tools in connection with the processing of this kind of personal information.   

We may also collect personal information about you from third-party public sources such as LinkedIn, the website of your company, or your employer.  We may also collect personal information from partners who host webinars or other events in collaboration with us or on our behalf.  We sometimes also collect personal information when you interact with us or our partners on platforms like Slack and MeetUp.  We may combine personal information that you provide with information collected off-line or from third parties. 

We may use personal information from certain communications with you relating to customer support, and/or information drawn from such communications, for statistical and/or reference and training purposes.

  • your name and contact information when you subscribe to our mailing lists and company newsletter;
  • information you provide when interacting with our Public Depot, KnowledgeBase, Perfecto Services Platform, user lists, and weblog or when reporting a problem with the websites;
  • contents of correspondence and conversations you have with us, including conversations using our chat bot feature and the contents of email messages and chat messages that you send us on any platform;
  • information you provide registering with Gliffy, billing information for Gliffy Premium, and any feedback provided to us;
  • details of any service requests such as customer support, technical support, interactive demos, training, and consulting;
  • communications with you;
  • credit card and billing information in case of online purchases or other payments;
  • your access credentials, such as your login id and password; and
  • information submitted in any testimonial, comment, or other feedback message on a blog or other public- forum hosted on the Websites.

 

3. Why we process your personal information

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it. These purposes include:

  • Fulfilling orders and requests for products, services, or information;
  • Entering into our End User Agreement with you (whether with you individually or on behalf of the company that you work for) and performing our obligations under it;
  • Identifying you on our websites in order to customize your experience;
  • Ensuring content from our websites is presented in the most effective manner;
  • Providing you with promotional materials and advertising our products and services;
  • Providing customer support, permit product evaluations, or otherwise manage our relationship with you;
  • Conducting research and analysis;
  • Allowing you to pay for our products and services;
  • Administering our website, products, and services, including managing security, managing live communications (chat bot and messaging services), delivering partner-hosted webinars, and improvement planning;
  • Resolving disputes and troubleshooting problems;
  • Preventing potentially fraudulent, prohibited, or illegal activities;
  • Allowing you to participate in interactive features of our service when you choose to do so;
  • Notifying you about changes to our services; and
  • Performing our obligations as may be required by law.

We will obtain your consent to send you marketing emails.  Note that you can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link contained in each email, by sending an email to privacy-request@perforce.com or under one of the other methods set forth in Section 14, “Contact Us and How We Communicate with You,” below.


4. Sharing your personal information with third parties

We occasionally hire service providers to process personal information on our behalf.  We require such third parties to maintain the confidentiality of any personal information processed by them and to refrain from using our personal information for any purposes other than those we direct.

We also share personal information with analytics providers to help us understand our websites’ effectiveness and how to improve our websites.  Likewise, we share personal information with behavioral advertising networks so that we can maintain a marketing relationship with individuals who may be interested in our products or services.

Some of our products and services are co-branded and/or offered in conjunction with services and products developed by other third-party companies.  This may occur, for example, where software that we develop is sold by a third party in a package with their own software that complements ours.  We may share with those third parties such personal information collected in conjunction with the co-branded products and services.

In addition, we may share your personal information with:

  • Our parent company, Perforce Software Holdings, Inc., and the affiliates and subsidiaries it controls, in order to support our provision of services to you.
  • Companies that may acquire our business or any part of it. Should a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity, or the acquiring entity, follow this Policy with respect to your personal information.  If your personal information is intended to be used contrary to this Policy, you will receive prior notice and the opportunity to communicate preferences you may have, if applicable.
  • Please note that the contents of conversations with our chatbot are shared with the service provider, Drift. As set forth in the chatbot window and in our Terms of Service, your use of the chatbot feature constitutes your consent to this sharing.
  • Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties  if Perforce is compelled to do so by law, such as under a subpoena or court order,  when it is necessary to do so to comply with applicable laws,  where the disclosure of personal information is reasonably necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss,  to report suspected illegal activity,  to investigate violations of the Perforce licensing agreements, or  as otherwise required by law.


 5. Retention and deletion of personal information

We will only retain data for as long as is necessary and in accordance with our data retention procedures.  We will retain your personal information if you are a customer for as long as is needed to manage any account held with us and to be compliant with legal and regulatory requirements.

We will retain your personal information if you are a prospective customer (for example, if you have inquired about our products and services), or if you have joined our marketing list for one year from our last communication with you unless you request otherwise (as described under Section 10, “Your Privacy Rights,” below).

 

6. Where we store your personal information

We are based in the United States, but we also have servers located in several other countries.  The data we collect from you, regardless of where you are located, may, therefore, be transferred to, and stored at, locations both inside and outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

We take appropriate steps to ensure that the personal information we collect under this Policy is processed according to the provisions of this Policy and the requirements of applicable law no matter where the data is stored.  When we transfer your personal data outside the UK or EEA, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that any such transfer is made securely and that there is adequate protection in place in order to protect your personal data.


7. Cookies

8. Protecting children's privacy

We are committed to protecting children's privacy on the internet.  We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18.


9. Compliance with this Policy and regulatory frameworks

We regularly review our compliance with this Policy.  If we receive a formal written complaint, we will contact the person who made the complaint to follow up and investigate the matter.  We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal information that we cannot resolve with our users directly. 

If you are dissatisfied with our adherence to any aspect of this Policy, or any of our data processing obligations, you may make a complaint to a data protection supervisory authority.


10. Your privacy rights

If we hold your personal information, depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may have some or all of the following legal rights with respect to your personal information:

  • Request to confirm the personal information we process about you or to review such personal information;
  • Request that we correct any errors, outdated information, or omissions in the personal information that we hold about you;
  • Request that we no longer send marketing or promotional e-mails, post, phone, or mobile marketing communications;
  • Object to the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances;
  • Request that we delete your personal information;

  • Request to opt-out of the use of your personal information for behavioral advertising;

  • Appeal the action we take in response to any request you make to exercise the above rights.
  • To exercise any of these rights, please provide your request and current contact information so that we can get back to you through one of the contact methods listed under Section 14, “Contact Us and How We Communicate with You,” below.

Please note:

  • For your protection, we may need to verify your identity before implementing any request made to exercise your rights detailed above; and
  • In some cases, if your request concerns deletion of data, we may not be able to entirely remove your content or personal information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.  For example, we may need to retain certain information for record-keeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting such deletion.
  • Where permitted by law, we may refuse your request if you have made excessive requests in the past twelve (12)-month period.
  • If you are appealing our response to a request you have made to exercise your rights, please tell us what rights you wished to exercise and explain why you disagree with our response.
  • We will provide a response to an access request within the timeframes required by law.  If we cannot substantively respond to your request in a timely manner, we will notify you and provide the reason for the delay.

Please note that our websites respond to the “Do not track” signal for cookies that are not needed for the websites to function, but none of our products and services currently respond to the “Do not track” signal for cookies.  


11. Security

We employ reasonable organizational and technical security measures to protect personal information and we require our service providers to do the same.  Unfortunately, no data transfer or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us in accordance with the methods listed under Section 14, “Contact Us and How We Communicate with You” below.
