Updated: October 10, 2022
ClinaCase is a task management platform that provides teams with the tools to orchestrate their work.
At ClinaCase, our mission is your mission. Our customers' trust and partnership are very important to us. That's why we refreshed our entire privacy statement to provide more clarity around how we use your information.
As you use and interact with ClinaCase's websites, products, and services, we process information from and about you in order to provide access to our tools, an enhanced experience, and support. That means that we collect, use, transmit, store, share, and erase your information.
It's important to us that you're able to clearly understand how we process your information and what rights you have under privacy and data protection laws. We've completely redesigned our Privacy Statement to make it shorter and simpler, reducing the amount of legalese and defined terms to the extent possible.
In addition, we also clarify when we would be processors of your data and when we would be the controller (see below in Our Relationship With You).
We welcome any questions, concerns or feedback you may have about the updates to this Privacy Statement. You can also view the previous version of this Privacy Statement here or through the link at the bottom of the Privacy Statement.
In situations where our users are subject to our Subscriber Agreement, Enterprise Master Services Agreement, or other Master Services Agreement to use ClinaCase's services, ClinaCase is the processor/service provider (a provider that processes personal data on behalf of or at the direction of a controller, or other similar designation under the law) and our customer (usually a company or organization) is the controller/business (the entity that decides how and why information is processed) of the information provided to ClinaCase via use of ClinaCase. In all other cases, ClinaCase is the controller of the information.
For example, if you create an account with
your corporate email address, your company is the controller of that information.
a free email domain (like gmail.com) or personal email account, ClinaCase is the controller.
ClinaCase can be used by companies or by individual users:
If you're using ClinaCase through your company, educational institution, or with your company email address, your company or educational institution's own ClinaCase administrator is responsible for the accounts associated with that company or institution and can: restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to or ability to use the services, access information about you, access or retain information stored with us (including your workspace content and log data about your use of ClinaCase), and restrict your ability to edit, restrict, modify, or delete information associated with your use of our products and services.
ClinaCase processes information we receive directly from you, automatically collected when you use ClinaCase or visit one of our websites, and collected by ClinaCase from third parties. However, please note that this Privacy Statement does not apply to the processing of your information by third-parties through your use of any third-party integrations available via our services.

Aggregated and De-identified data
We may aggregate and/or de-identify information related to your use of ClinaCase (such as how many tasks or projects you created) so that such information can no longer be linked to you or your device. We may use such aggregated and de-identified data for any purpose, including but not limited to for research and marketing purposes, and may also share such data with any third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners, sponsors, event promoters, and/or others.
Legal bases for processing. For more information about the legal bases ClinaCase relies on to process your information, please visit Other Important Information.
We need to share the information we collect about you to make our products and services run smoothly and to operate our business under the following conditions:
Service Providers and Subprocessors. We may provide access to or share your information with select third parties that use the information on our behalf to assist in providing ClinaCase's services, website, and features. These third parties provide a variety of services to us, including without limitation sales, marketing, provision of content and features, advertising, analytics, research, data storage, security, fraud prevention, and other services.
Advertising and Marketing. We may provide information collected when you visit an ClinaCase website (such as email addresses) to service providers, who may “match” this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad identifiers) and other proprietary IDs, in order to provide you with more relevant ClinaCase ads when you visit other websites.
Consistent with your settings within our products and services. Please note that the information you submit through and share in ClinaCase may be viewable by other users in your workspace, team, division, organization, depending on the specific settings you have selected and if an organization has been created for your domain.
Business Transfers. If the ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes, or all or some of our assets are sold as part of a bankruptcy or other proceeding, we may transfer your information to the new owner so that the services can continue to operate. In such case, your information would remain subject to the promises and commitments contained in this Privacy Statement until the acquiring party updates it. If such transfer is subject to additional mandatory restrictions under applicable laws or agreements, ClinaCase will comply with those restrictions.
If you have one, your company's own ClinaCase account administrator. If you're using ClinaCase in connection with an organization, academic institution, or company domain, your company's own ClinaCase account administrator can export data associated with the domain they manage if they have a subscription plan that allows them to do so.
Public Forums. Our public forums, such as the ClinaCase community forum, make it possible for you to upload and share comments or feedback publicly with other users. Any information that you submit through such public forums is not confidential, and ClinaCase may use it for any purpose (including in testimonials or other ClinaCase marketing materials). Any information you post openly in these ways will be available to the public at large and potentially accessible through third-party search engines. Such information can be read, collected and/or used by other users, and it could be used to send you unsolicited messages.
Security
ClinaCase takes technical and organizational measures to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure, and so we cannot ensure or warrant the security of that information. We are constantly updating and improving our safeguards.
Storage
When you use ClinaCase, some information about you will be stored in the United States.
Transfer of Your Information Out of EEA, UK, and Switzerland
When you use our products and services, information about you will be transferred to the United States where the majority of ClinaCase's data processing occurs. We may also transfer information that we collect about you to third party processors across borders from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.
ClinaCase uses appropriate technical and operational safeguards for cross-border transfers of personal data collected in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, as required by applicable local law, including the Standard Contractual Clauses.
ClinaCase remains certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield and Swiss-US Privacy Shield, but does not rely on these frameworks to transfer personal data.
Data Retention
We will retain your information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, to make our products and services available to you, or as instructed by you, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Use by children under 16
If you are under the age of 16, you may not have an ClinaCase account or use ClinaCase's products or services. We do not knowingly process any information from, or direct any of our products or services to, children under the age of 16.
Marketing Practices and Choices
If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs, to capture data, such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
You may instruct us not to use your contact information to contact you by email, postal mail, or phone regarding products, services, promotions, and special events that might appeal to your interests by contacting us at the “ClinaCase Contact Info” section below. In commercial email messages, you can also opt out by following the instructions located at the bottom of such emails.
Please note that, regardless of your request, we may still use and share certain information as permitted by this Privacy Statement or as required by applicable law. For example, you may not opt out of certain transactional, operational, or service-related emails, such as those reflecting our relationship or transactions with you.
Do-Not-Track
Do Not Track is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our websites for third party purposes, and that is why we provide the ability to opt out, if needed, and adjust your cookie preferences.
Legal Bases for Processing Your Information
Our legal basis under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a data protection and privacy regulation in the European Union, for collecting and using your information described above will depend on the particular type of information and the specific context in which we collect it. However, some examples of legal bases for processing that we rely on:
Where use of your information is necessary to perform our obligations under a contract with you (for example, to comply with the User Terms of Service which you accept by using ClinaCase's services or to fulfill the terms of a contract signed with companies)
Where use of your information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others (for example, to provide security, operate our products and services, prevent fraud, analyze use of and improve our products and services, and for similar purposes)
Where use of your information is necessary to comply with a legal obligation
Where we have your consent to process data in a certain way
C. Your Privacy Rights
ClinaCase users from around the world use our products to bring clarity to their work. Regardless of what country you're located in, we respect your ability to know, access, correct, export, restrict the processing of, and delete your information, and have extended those rights globally. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
Information About Your Rights
Upon your request, and subject to applicable legal exceptions, we will:
provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you
prevent the processing of your information for promotional purposes (including any direct marketing processing based on profiling)
update information which is out of date or incorrect
delete certain information which we have about you
restrict the way that we process and disclose some of your information
transfer your information to a third party provider of services

California Rights
In addition to the rights and information listed above, California consumers and their authorized agents can request information about:
The categories of information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your information; and the categories of third parties we share or disclose your information. For your convenience and so you don't have to request it, we've included that information in this Privacy Statement.
The financial incentives that we offer to you, if any.
ClinaCase does not sell your data, as defined under applicable law, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Exercising Your Rights
We will need to verify your identity and may need to verify your relationship with ClinaCase (for example, if you're an administrator of an ClinaCase Organization or Workspace and you're making a request on behalf of another individual) for security and to prevent fraud.
We may take additional steps to verify that you are authorized to make the request. If you are an end user of ClinaCase's services and not a direct customer of ClinaCase (for example, your company uses ClinaCase and you're an employee or authorized representative of that company), you should direct requests relating to your information to the administrator of your company's ClinaCase account. We will redirect you to your administrator or notify the administrator directly. To exercise your privacy rights, please contact us to get started.
Please note, however, that certain information may be exempt from such requests in some circumstances, which may include if we need to keep processing your information for our legitimate interests or to comply with a legal obligation.
We will update this Privacy Statement to make sure it accurately reflects our data collection and use practices, our amazing features, advances in technology, or as applicable laws require. We will comply with applicable legal requirements regarding providing you with notice and/or consent when we make such changes, depending on the type of change made. We also provide information about how our Privacy Statement has changed over time below.
