We collect information about you when you provide it to us, when you visit our website, when you use our product, and when someone else provides it on your behalf or in your best interest.


Information that you provide to us

We collect information that you provide to us on your own accord by inputting it directly into our Services, when you consult with our sales and support teams or communicate with us in any other way.

Information you provide through our website: We collect information that you submit via forms on our website, for instance, when you register for a trial of our product or request access to specific content. The categories of such information include name, email address, phone number, job title, company name, and country. This information is collected and further used following your expressed consent.

Account and profile information: When you sign up for RADAR and create a new workspace, you are required to enter your work email address and to specify a name of the workspace, which normally is the name of the company you work for. When you set up your personal account you are asked to provide certain basic information, such as your name, email address, password. You may also add a photo. Name, email address and photo associated with your profile are used to identify you to other users in the system.

Payment and billing information: When you choose to upgrade to a paid RADAR account, you are asked for certain payment and billing information that is necessary to process your order. This includes name and contact information of the billing representative as well as payment card details. Although we do maintain a record of all your purchases and billing transactions, we do not handle the payments ourselves and do not store your payment card details on our systems. Given all this, payment processing is carried out by Stripe.

Examples of such content include: the name and description of projects and views you create, the comments you add to status reports, various project documentation.

How we store and protect your information

Information storage and security

User privacy is among our top priorities, and we are committed to ensuring information we collected about you is protected from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.

Although no data transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, we make reasonable efforts and follow generally accepted industry standards to establish a level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the processing of information about you. To learn more about our approach to security and the physical, electronic and managerial measures we have adopted, please see our Security page.


Retention period

How long we keep your information depends on the type of information, as described in further detail below. As a rule, we retain information about you for a reasonable period of time or for as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. As soon as your information is no longer relevant to the purpose for which it was collected, it is deleted. In some cases, such as when we are required to comply with any legal and regulatory obligations to which we are subject, we may hold your information for longer.

Account information: We retain your account information for as long as your account is active and a certain period after its deactivation giving you the opportunity to reactivate the Services if you decide to do so. On termination of a corporate RADAR account, at the request of the client submitted through the system by the workspace owner or through any of our support channels, or if subscription has not been renewed on time, all data belonging to that client and associated with the workspace, including all uploaded files and attachments, is immediately removed from the production environment and retained in closed access for 30 days in case it needs to be restored. Unless the account is reactivated by the end of this period, all data associated with it is permanently deleted. On termination of a personal account, at your own request or at the request of other Service users with higher permissions, all your identifiable information is removed from the production environment and erased from the system immediately.

Information you share on the RADAR application: Even if your personal account is deactivated or deleted, for example when you are no longer part of the company you have worked for, some of the information you provided will remain in order to allow other users of the workspace to make full use of the Services. For example, we will continue to store and display your projects, views and status reports to other users with specific access permissions for as long as it is allowed by the workspace owner. In case your account is deleted, all such content will be attributed to "Anonymous" user.

Information used for marketing purposes: If you have elected to receive marketing-related electronic communications from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences for a reasonable period of time from the date you last expressed interest in our Services, such as when you last opened an email from us or ceased using your RADAR account. We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such information was created.
