Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of Personal Information:

We may also use your Personal Information in the following ways:

A. To provide, maintain, and improve our Application and Services, including analytics, marketing, support, and job applications

1.

Specifically, if you provide your email address for marketing purposes, we may use it to contact you with newsletters, marketing, or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send.
2. Login Information: We use your Login Information to enable you to securely access the Application and to identify your activities in the Application.
3. Job Information: If you apply to work at Valdera, we use your Job Information to evaluate your application and contact you about it.
4. Log and Device Information: We use Log and Device Information to help improve our Application and Services, internal operations, and systems. We also use Device Information to understand a user’s engagement in an activity or feature—for example, which pages or tools you interacted with or data about any crashes during use.
5. Behavioral Marketing: We and certain third parties operating on or through our website may engage in online behavioral advertising. This form of advertising includes various parties and service providers, including third-party data controllers, engaged in the processing of cookies and other online identifiers, in connection with advertising. We may place cookies on your device, then provide it directly to a third party for targeting on a third-party platform. The parties that control the processing of Personal Information for behavioral advertising purposes may build a profile of you containing this information, and may be able to identify you across sites, devices, and over time. See the below for information about how you can limit or opt out of this processing.

B. To provide, maintain, and improve our Application and Services

1. Work Information: We analyze work information in the Application at the direction of our Customers. In doing so, we process Work Information from productivity tools, such as G-Suite, Microsoft Office, GitHub, Jira, GitLab, Bitbucket, and others. We analyze that Work Information on both an individual and company level, using it to improve Customer decision-making and employee experience, among other things. We do not intentionally process information about user gender, race, or other categories of sensitive information. To the extent we unintentionally receive such sensitive information, we do not store or process it.
2. User Content: Pursuant to Customer instructions, we analyze User Content to provide information to the Customer about employee activity. We do not moderate User Content, and in general only process the metadata associated with User Content. However, the Customer may sometimes view User Content.
3. Survey Information: At the direction of Customers, we process Survey Information, such as surveys on performance and employee engagement, and provide it to the Customer for its internal use. The Customer chooses the content of any survey.
4. Log and Device Information: We use Log and Device Information to secure and improve our Application and Services, internal operations, and systems. We also use Device Information to understand a user’s engagement in an activity or feature—for example, which pages or tools you interacted with or data about any crashes during use.

We may collect your Personal Information through your direct interactions with us, such as if you email a question or comment or submit a customer review.  We may also collect your Personal Information through our use of tracking technologies (such as cookies and web beacons).
