This policy describes how Beyond Limits – Altec, Inc. collects and handles personal information that customers provide through or in conjunction with Beyond Limits – Altec, Inc. products and services. It as describes your choices regarding use, access and correction of your personal information.

This privacy policy does not apply to information collected through our corporate website, https://www.doclink.beyond.ai. Our website policy describes the practices with respect to that information.

This policy refers to Beyond Limits – Altec, Inc.  as “we,” “us” and “our.” References to “you” and “your” are to the owners of the data input into DocLink. This generally is our customers, the companies and organizations that have subscribed to DocLink. In some cases, this may be our partners with respect to data owned by you as a partner. If you are an individual whose data is controlled by a customer or partner of ours and input into DocLink by such customer or partner, please direct your privacy-related inquiries to the company or organization that has subscribed to DocLink, as more fully described in “Data Access and Choice” below.

Information Provided by You

You provide us with several kinds of information: Customer Data, Administrative Data, and Billing Data.

Customer Data is the information submitted into DocLink when you use DocLink or when you receive customer support. This includes accounting information, documents and document metadata, as well as information derived by the operation of DocLink from such submissions, such as reports and analytics. Customer Data may be submitted directly by you or indirectly through our partners.

Our system processes and stores Customer Data strictly on your behalf in order to provide you services and perform our contractual obligations to you. We restrict our employees’ access to Customer Data to (1) support, client services and technical staff, who with your consent may have access to your Customer Data to provide customer support, technical troubleshooting and professional services, and (2) a limited number of operations personnel, who may have controlled access to Customer Data for troubleshooting and system maintenance. We use Customer Data to provide you services and to address customer support requests and technical problems.

DocLink’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Administrative Data is information you provide during sign-up, purchase or administration of DocLink. This includes company name, address, email and phone number, and individual users’ names, emails, phone numbers and account credentials.

We collect, store and use Administrative Data to perform our contractual obligations to you and/or for our legitimate business interests. Specifically, we use Administrative Data to provide DocLink to you, administrate your account, provide customer support and professional services, keep a records of our dealings with you, notify you of new product offerings and of changes, updates and availability of DocLink, understand your experience using DocLink (for example, by sending you surveys), conduct research, improve DocLink, plan and host events, contact you with marketing communications, and identify and prevent fraud.

Billing Data is financial qualification and billing information you provide as our customer when you purchase, subscribe for, renew or expand DocLink. This includes name, billing address, credit card information, credit references and other financial data.

We use Billing Data for our legitimate business interests: to process or collect payment for your transactions with us, keep a record of our dealings with you, and prevent fraud. We store Billing Data for use in your future transactions with us.

Information Collected by Us

DocLink does not store any user information in any persistent storage mechanism. Our product uses localStorage to store user settings such as sort order, column order, display modes, etc. DocLink uses sessionStorage for the secure data, which is tied to the current tab in the browser and is not accessible outside of that tab instance. This data is gone as soon as the tab is closed. DocLink does not utilize cookies.

IP Addresses: We collect the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer used to access the DocLink services. We use IP addresses for added security of the DocLink services and to optimize the performance of the DocLink services. A security feature of the DocLink services allows a client’s administrator to review the list of IP addresses from which the client’s DocLink account has been accessed. We do not provide an opt-out option for IP addresses.

Statistical Data: When you use the DocLink services, we may collect statistical information (metadata), such as server log files, usage patterns and frequency, and volume and value of transactions. Such statistical information does not include Customer Data. We may use this statistical information for product improvement and billing.

Anonymous Data: If Statistical Data is used by us for any other purposes, we aggregate this data in a way that does not identify or otherwise permit the identification of you or any of your users. We may use and disclose Anonymous Data for training, quality assurance, product development, marketing, promotion, statistical analysis, market analysis, financial analysis, benchmarking and other business purposes. We do not provide an opt-out option for Anonymous Data.

Some browsers contain features that signal that the user does not want to be tracked, known as “Do Not Track” or DNT. The DocLink services currently do not respond to such signals.

Third-Party Provided Data: We partner with third parties who provide products and services within, or related to, the DocLink services. These third parties may provide us your Customer Data or Billing Data. We treat this information in the same manner as we treat Customer Data and Billing Data that you provide directly to us.

Data Retention

We retain Customer Data for the duration of your subscription to the DocLink services. After your subscription expires, we retain Customer Data for at least 90 days and may store it for up to an additional 90 days. Customer Data may be retained beyond that period in data backups, which may be stored for up to 5 years. We retain Customer Data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We keep Administrative Data and Billing Data as part of our business and accounting records for the duration of your relationship with us and thereafter for so long as necessary for our legitimate business purposes. We retain credit cardholder data for no longer than 90 days from the card expiration date. We do not store card-verification code or value (CVV).

We may transfer some or all of our assets, including data, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or if we dissolve, reorganize our business, or cease operating as a going concern (for example, in the event of a bankruptcy).

Information Security

We maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of your Customer Data that are consistent with industry standards.

Our data security measures include (but are not limited to):

  • Integration of application security into the agile product development lifecycle with both manual and automated controls to address static testing and dynamic code analysis;
