We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

This policy (together with our Terms and Conditions and any other documents referred to on it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it. By visiting www.dobiquity.com you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this policy. Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any personally identifiable information collected at Our Website.

Our privacy policy has been compiled so as to comply with the law of every country or legal jurisdiction in which we aim to do business. If you think it fails to satisfy the law of your jurisdiction, we should like to hear from you and please contact us at info@dobiquity.com. However, ultimately it is your choice as to whether you wish to use our website and services.

Here is a list of the information we collect from you, either through Our Website or because you give it to us in some other way, and why it is necessary to collect it:

1. Business and personal information

1.1. In this section, we set out the general categories of personal data that we may process to provide you with the relevant subscription service. Generally, we require your personal data either for “Contract” purposes to provide you with the services for which you have subscribed, and in doing so our services are offered on the basis of our terms and conditions which you signify acceptance of during the set up process. Other personal and business data is gathered with your "Consent" such as where you signify that you accept the cookies on our website; additionally, when you willingly upload personal or business information to our platform during your use of our products, in doing so you are signalling your consent for us to store that data and process it in accordance with the privacy policy and temrs and conditions.

Such information may include your name, or those of your colleagues or employees, your/their personal or work emails, and in some cases your/their personal and company records such as an individual's training record, the results of a customer or employee survey, or the data gathered through the use of any of our tools. In uploading such data you signal your consent (and that of your colleagues and employees) for us to store and process it in accordance with our privacy policy and terms and conditions.

1.2. In principle we seek to store as little personal data about you as possible and the type of personal information we process is generally limited to that required to offer you the contracted service and includes:

• Information required to set-up and use your Dobiquity account and tools: This includes basic identification and contact information, such as your name and contact details and also includes all information given to us in the course of your business and ours, such as information you give us in your capacity as our customer. This may include data on master account holders and any sub-users, trainers, nominated users etc. added to the account, or for individuals nominated by you to use our products. In adding any individual's personal data to our platform you confirm that you have their consent to do so.
• Certain of our products require us to store personal data related to your employees. This includes our On-the-Job Training App whereby employee training records that include the name of the employee and their skills training record are held online. We do not hold employee emails or addresses in relation to this product but by adding an employee to this product you verify that you have their consent for their records to be stored on our platform.
• Certain of our products, for example the Customer Survey App, allow you to gather customer information on those completing a survey. By design, this feature is optional for customers and is accompanied by a consent notification.The data gathered here includes the customer's first and last name, telephone, and email address. We do not use this data for any purpose whatsoever and it is only accessible to you via your account dashboard. By gathering this data you confirm that your organisation complies fully with all data protection regulations in managing this customer data. We recommend that you do not hold this customer data on our system any longer than is required and you can request us to delete this data at any time by emailing us at support@dobiquity.com
• Financial information: this includes any details required to facilitate your subscription payments and renewals. Full details are provided under 5 below.
• Usage Data: we may process data about your use of our website and services (known as "usage data"). This data may include your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your service use. The source of the usage data will be Google Analytics and the data is only processed to help us better understand how our website and services are accessed and used.

We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose and this data will only be held for the duration of your subscription. We expect you to reciprocate this policy. We also apply the higest security protocols to the storage of all your online and hard copy personal data.

The above information is used:

• to provide you with the services which you request. As indicated above, this category of information may include setting up an account with us, or using our various tools. Additionally, when you contact us via email requesting support, we keep personally identifiable information associated with your message, such as your name and email address so as to be able to track our communications with you to provide a high quality service. Once the support request is complete, we delete this correspondence.
• for verifying your identity for security purposes;
•  to provide you with information about other goods and services we offer that are similar to those that you have already purchased or enquired about;
• information which does not identify any individual may be used in a general way by us or third parties, to provide class information, for example relating to demographics or usage of a particular page or service.

1.3. Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies. Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us a message by e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply, or as indicated above when you willingly upload personal and business data to our platform. Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor the performance of a particular page on our website.
