Data privacy guidelines for our integrations
We store the data from our integrations complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), below you’ll find the specific treatment for each of them:
Atlassian (Jira, Slack, Trello)
We assure you of the following rights complying with the GDPR:
- Right to erasure (also known as Right to be Forgotten): If Leanmote stores the personal data of a user and the user requests for their data to be erased, we will erase the data.
- Right to rectify: If Leanmote stores the personal data for a user and the user changes their data, we erase or update the data.
- Right to be informed: We inform users if we collect and use their data.
We periodically report the personal data we are storing back to Jira using the personal data reporting API and based on the response back from Atlassian we update or erase the personal data for users accordingly. We repeat this process each cycle period (7 days).
We store the data following Atlassian guidelines:
- We track and report the age of personal data so Atlassian can determine if the personal data is stale.
- We store a single copy of personal data to ensure that all personal data is erased when necessary.
- When Leanmote is uninstalled we erase personal data that is no longer needed.
Slack
Use of channels:history
Our application utilizes the “channels:history” scope to enhance our service capabilities. We prioritize user privacy and security and adhere to the following principles to ensure compliance with Slack’s standards:
- Purpose of the Scope: We require access to the channel history to collect metadata about team interactions. This data helps us analyze communication patterns and improve team dynamics and performance metrics.
- Use of the Data:
- Metadata Only: Our application only extracts metadata, such as message timestamps, user IDs, and interaction frequencies. We do not read, or store the actual content of any messages.
- Data Processing: The collected metadata is used exclusively to generate insights about team interactions and to enhance our service offerings. We do not use this data for any other purpose.
- Privacy and Security:
- Strict Data Minimization: We strictly limit our data collection to essential metadata and avoid any unnecessary data access.
- No Content Storage: We do not store or process any message content. Our focus is solely on metadata to ensure user privacy.
- Robust Security Measures: We implement industry-standard security practices to protect the metadata we collect. This includes encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to safeguard data.
- Transparency and User Control: We maintain transparency about our data practices and provide users with clear information on how their data is used. Users have control over their data and can request more information or raise concerns at any time.
- Compliance and Best Practices:
- Adherence to Slack Policies: Our data handling practices are fully compliant with Slack’s API Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
- Continuous Improvement: We regularly review and update our privacy practices to align with the latest security standards and regulatory requirements.
By using our application, users consent to the collection and use of metadata as described in this policy. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security to ensure user trust and confidence.
Leanmote use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Retention of Information
Unless we need to keep your data for legal purposes (such as to defend against a legal claim), we will only retain your personal information for 24 months from your last interaction with us, for example, when you opted in or when you submitted a query on our website.
Protection of Information
We have implemented appropriate technology safeguards, security policies, and other measures to protect data under our control from unauthorized access, improper use, alteration, unlawful or accidental destruction, or accidental loss. These include implementing suitable access controls, and ensuring that encryption and hashing are used and robust physical security controls are in place. We also protect your information by requiring that all our employees and others who have access to or are associated with the processing of your data respect your confidentiality.
Your Rights
Data protection laws provide you with the following rights:
- Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
- Request the erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
- Request the restriction of processing of your personal information, for example, if you want to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
- Obtain a copy of the personal information you’ve provided us with and to reuse it elsewhere or to ask us to transfer it to a third party of your choice.
- You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights above). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is manifestly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, for example in relation to any direct marketing we provide to you, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent in relation to direct marketing, please contact us using any of the details set out below in the “Contacting Us” section.
To request the deletion of your personal data, please follow these steps:
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Data Deletion Request”.
Include your full name and any relevant account information to help us locate your data.
Specify clearly in the body of the email that you are requesting the deletion of your personal information.
We will process your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.
