How we use the information we collect

Bekind Labs processes the information we collect based on the specific Services you use, how you interact with them, and any preferences you have communicated. The following section details the purposes for which we utilize your data.

Providing and Personalizing the Services

We use the collected information to operate, maintain, and enhance our Services, including processing transactions, verifying user identities, providing customer support, and ensuring the seamless functionality of our platforms. For instance, your name and profile picture may be displayed to other users within the Services to facilitate collaboration. Our Services incorporate personalized features to enhance your experience, boost productivity, and improve teamwork by analyzing your activities and those of your team. This enables us to generate relevant search results, curated activity feeds, customized notifications, and relevant recommendations. If you utilize multiple Bekind Labs Services, we integrate data from various products to create a cohesive experience, allowing you to access information seamlessly across our platforms. We may also personalize communications and feature recommendations based on your interaction history. If you wish to opt out of such personalization, you may submit a request to info@bekindlabs.com.

Research and Development

Bekind Labs is continuously working to improve our Services, making them more intelligent, secure, and integrated. We use aggregated insights and behavioral trends to troubleshoot technical issues, optimize functionality, identify usage patterns, and develop new features and technologies. For example, in the future, we may analyze how users interact with features like AI assistance to improve collaboration recommendations. Our systems may also aggregate search queries to enhance the accuracy of auto-suggestions. In some instances, these insights are applied across multiple Services to refine interconnected experiences. Certain new features may be tested with a limited group of users before being released to all customers.

Communication Regarding the Services

We use your contact details to send essential communications via email, in-app notifications, or other channels, including confirmations of purchases, reminders of subscription expirations, responses to inquiries, and updates related to service maintenance, security alerts, and administrative notices if applicable. Notifications are also sent when you or others interact within the Services, such as when you are mentioned in a user story, assigned a user story, or added to a collaborative workspace. Certain product interactions may automatically trigger feature recommendations or third-party integrations to enhance workflow efficiency. Additionally, we provide onboarding assistance and usage guidance to help users maximize the value of our Services. These transactional communications are an integral part of the Service and, in most cases, cannot be opted out of. Where an opt-out option is available, it will be provided within the communication itself or in your account settings.

Marketing, Promotion, and User Engagement

Bekind Labs may use your contact details and interaction history to send promotional messages via email or other communication channels, as well as to display advertisements on third-party platforms. These marketing communications may be based on interactions such as ad impressions, product engagement, or participation in surveys, and are designed to keep you informed about new features, industry trends, exclusive offers, and events relevant to you. Our marketing efforts also include personalized outreach based on your usage of our Services. If you wish to opt out of promotional communications, you can manage your preferences by following the instructions in the emails received (e.g., unsubscribe).

Customer Support and Service Improvement

We use collected information to diagnose and resolve technical issues, address user concerns, analyze service failures, and enhance platform reliability. In cases where you grant us explicit permission, we may share relevant details with external technical specialists to assist with complex support inquiries.

Security and Fraud Prevention

Bekind Labs processes data to ensure the security and integrity of its Services. This includes verifying accounts, monitoring user activity, detecting and preventing unauthorized access, responding to potential security threats, and investigating any fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal activity. We also analyze service usage to enforce compliance with our terms and policies. In the event of a Security Incident, Bekind Labs will notify the Customer without undue delay, and, where feasible, within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the incident. Notification will be sent via email to the relevant contacts designated by the Customer.

Legal and Business Protections

Where necessary, we use personal data to comply with legal obligations, regulatory requirements, and audit functions. This includes responding to lawful government requests, protecting our intellectual property rights, enforcing contract terms, and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws. If Bekind Labs is involved in a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale, user data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the business operation.

Processing with User Consent

Where specific consent is required, we use your data for purposes explicitly agreed upon by you. This may include publishing customer testimonials, featuring user stories in marketing campaigns, or participating in research studies. Users retain the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting info@bekindlabs.com.

Legal Bases for Processing (Applicable to EEA Users)

For individuals residing in the European Economic Area (EEA), our data processing activities are conducted under lawful bases outlined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The specific legal grounds on which we process personal data include:

  • Contractual Necessity: Processing is required to deliver the requested Services, including account management, authentication, support, and security.

  • Legal Compliance: We process personal data as required to fulfill legal obligations, including regulatory compliance, taxation, and law enforcement cooperation.
  • User Consent: In cases where explicit consent is required (e.g., for marketing communications or non-essential data collection), users have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

Users may submit requests to exercise their data protection rights, including access, correction, restriction, and deletion, by contacting info@bekindlabs.com.

Bekind Labs provides collaboration tools designed to enhance productivity and teamwork. To ensure seamless functionality, we may disclose information through the Services and to certain third parties under specific circumstances. The ways in which we disclose information are outlined below, including disclosures that may occur in the event of a business transfer.

Bekind Labs does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, certain activities, such as using third-party tracking technologies for personalized advertising, may be classified as “sharing” under certain privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

Disclosure to Third-Party Applications, Services, and Legal Authorities

Such integrations may grant third-party applications access to your account and associated information, including your name, email address, and any content you utilize within those applications. If you are listed as an administrator, technical contact, or billing contact for an account, Bekind Labs may disclose your details to the third-party application provider at the time of installation. Bekind Labs does not control the policies or procedures of third-party applications, and this Privacy Policy does not extend to their handling of your information. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policies of third-party providers before connecting or using their applications and services to understand their data collection and usage practices. If you do not wish to share your information with a third-party application, you should refrain from installing or should uninstall the application.

Links to Third-Party Websites. Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or external services with privacy practices distinct from those of Bekind Labs.

Disclosure to Affiliated Companies and Business Transfers

Any such disclosures will be conducted in accordance with this Privacy Policy, ensuring consistent data protection and compliance with applicable privacy laws.

Bekind Labs Corporate Affiliates. We may disclose information about you to other Bekind Labs affiliates for the purpose of operating, enhancing, and improving our products and services, including Tracker Boot.

As part of this process, you will have the opportunity to review and manage your data preferences in accordance with relevant data protection laws.

How we store and secure collected information

Information Storage and Security

Bekind Labs employs industry-standard technical and organizational measures to safeguard the information we store. Users of Tracker Boot and other Bekind Labs services can refer to the Tracker Boot Agreement’s applicable Data Processing Addendum for further details on data storage and handling practices. While we implement security measures designed to protect your information, no system is entirely immune to security threats. Due to the inherent risks associated with the Internet, absolute security of data transmitted online or stored within our systems cannot be guaranteed. Despite our best efforts, there remains a possibility of unauthorized access, intrusion, or data exposure.

Data Retention Policy

The retention period for your information depends on the type of data and the purposes for which it is processed. Once the applicable retention period expires, we will either delete or anonymize your information. If immediate deletion is not technically feasible (such as in the case of data stored in backup archives), we will securely isolate and store the data until deletion is possible.

Account Information. We retain your account information for as long as your account remains active, and for a reasonable period thereafter in case you choose to reactivate your Services. Certain data may also be retained as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, support business operations, and enhance our Services. When data is retained for service improvements and development, all personally identifiable details are removed, and we use only aggregated insights rather than personal user data.

Content Shared Within the Services. If your account is deactivated or disabled, certain content and contributions you have made within the Services may remain accessible to team members or other users to ensure continuity and collaboration. For instance, user stories you have created, backlogs you have contributed, or comments you have made will still be displayed to relevant users. However, upon request, identifying details can be removed or anonymized in compliance with applicable privacy regulations.

Managed Accounts. If your access to the Services is provided through an organization, such as your employer, your information will be retained as required by the administrator of your account. For further details, please refer to the section on Managed Accounts and Administrators.

Marketing Information. If you have opted in to receive marketing communications from Bekind Labs, we will retain your marketing preferences for a reasonable period, measured from the date of your last recorded interaction with our Services, such as opening an email from us or logging into your Bekind Labs account. Additionally, we retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such data was collected.

Accessing and managing your information

Bekind Labs provides users with various options to access, control, and manage personal information. The rights available to you depend on applicable laws and the jurisdiction in which you reside. These rights may include requesting details about how we process your data, obtaining a copy of your information we hold, objecting to the use of your data for certain purposes such as marketing, requesting deletion or restriction of your data, receiving your data in a structured, electronic format, requesting corrections or updates, and opting out of certain profiling activities. Some of these options can be exercised directly within the Services through your account settings. If the Services are managed on your behalf by an administrator, you may need to contact them for assistance. Your ability to exercise these rights may be subject to certain restrictions. We may be unable to fulfill a request if it involves disclosing another individual’s personal information or if we are required to retain certain data for legal or legitimate business interests. If you have authorized us to share your data with third-party service providers, such as by installing third-party apps, you will need to contact those providers directly to request deletion or restriction of your information. If you have unresolved concerns, you may have the right to file a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority in your country of residence, place of work, or where you believe your privacy rights have been violated. Where permitted under applicable laws, you may also appeal any decision we make regarding your request by contacting us at info@bekindlabs.com.

Accessing and Updating Your Information. Bekind Labs allows users to access and modify certain personal details within the Services. Profile information can be updated through the account settings within the platform.

Deactivating Your Account. If you no longer wish to use our Services, you or your administrator may deactivate your account. If this option is available to you, it can be found in your account settings. Otherwise, you may need to contact your administrator. If you are an administrator and are unable to deactivate an account through the provided settings, you may reach out to info@bekindlabs.com for assistance. Deactivating your account does not automatically delete your personal information. Some of your past activity and content contributions may remain visible to other users. For information on permanently removing your data, please refer to the next section.

Deleting Your Information. Users have the ability to delete certain personal data directly within the Services. Specific content containing personal information can be removed through the platform’s editing and deletion functions. Profile information can also be modified or deleted within the account settings. However, certain records may need to be retained to comply with legal obligations, complete transactions, or fulfill regulatory requirements.

Request to Restrict Use of Your Information. In certain circumstances, you may request that we cease accessing, storing, using, or otherwise processing your information if you believe we lack the appropriate legal basis to do so. For instance, if a Tracker Boot account was created without your authorization or you are no longer an active user, you may request the deletion of your account in accordance with this policy. If you previously provided consent for the use of your information for a specific purpose, you may withdraw that consent by contacting us. However, this withdrawal will not affect any processing that has already taken place prior to your request. Please note that processing such requests may require time for verification and execution. In cases where there is a delay or a dispute regarding our right to process your information, we will suspend further processing until the request is honored or the dispute is resolved, unless otherwise instructed by your administrator. If you object to the disclosure of your information to a third-party application, please disable the application or request your administrator to do so.

Opting Out of Communications. You have the option to opt out of receiving promotional communications from Bekind Labs. This can be done by selecting the unsubscribe option in our emails or by directly contacting us to request removal from our promotional mailing list or registration database. However, even after opting out of promotional messages, you will continue to receive transactional emails regarding the Services. Certain notification messages may also be managed within your account settings, but please note that you will still receive generic advertisements.

Opting Out of Targeted Advertising. Where applicable under local regulations, you may have the right to opt out of targeted advertising. If you wish to opt out, you may follow the necessary steps outlined in your settings. Additionally, you may be able to opt out of personalized advertisements from companies that adhere to industry self-regulatory standards for online behavioral advertising.

Managing Cookie Preferences. You can control cookie settings through your web browser, which allows you to manage or disable cookies as per your preference. Please refer to Bekind Labs’ Cookie Policy. By adjusting your browser settings, you can limit or block cookies used for tracking and targeted advertising.

“Do Not Track” (DNT) Signals. Some web browsers support “Do Not Track” (DNT) features, which signal to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. However, our websites may not respond to all browser-based DNT signals. That said, where required by applicable regulations, we do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) settings, which allow users to opt out of certain data-sharing activities, including targeted advertising.

Data Portability. Data portability allows you to obtain certain personal data in a structured format that can be transferred to another service provider. While this applies to some categories of information, it does not cover all data types. If you request data portability, we will provide an electronic file containing your basic account details and any content you have created within the spaces under your sole control.

How we transfer information

International Data Transfers

How We Transfer and Process Information Globally. Bekind Labs operates internationally, and as part of our global business operations, we may transfer, process, and store your information in countries outside of your country of residence, including locations where we or our third-party service providers operate. Whenever we transfer your information across borders, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure compliance with applicable data protection regulations and to protect your personal data.

Transfers Within Bekind Labs Companies. To facilitate operational efficiency and service continuity, Bekind Labs transfers data between its entities and affiliates, such as between Japan, South Korea, and India. This ensures that authorized personnel in these locations can access necessary data for providing, maintaining, and improving our Services. However, as data protection laws differ across jurisdictions, some countries may not offer the same level of privacy safeguards as others. For transfers involving data originating from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, Bekind Labs relies on established data transfer mechanisms, including the Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, to ensure compliance with international data protection standards.

Transfers to Third Parties. Bekind Labs engages third-party service providers, primarily based in the United States, to support our business operations. These providers offer essential services, including cloud infrastructure, payment processing, analytics, and customer support. When transferring customer data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to third parties in countries that may not have equivalent data protection laws, Bekind Labs ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place. These safeguards may include Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) for data processors, or other legally recognized data protection mechanisms. Bekind Labs remains committed to ensuring that all international data transfers comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements while maintaining the security, confidentiality, and integrity of user information.

Additional privacy considerations

Notice to End Users

Certain services offered by Bekind Labs, including Tracker Boot, are designed for use by organizations. If you are accessing the Services through an organization (e.g., your employer), that organization serves as the administrator of the Services and holds control over the accounts and/or Service sites associated with your use. In such cases, all inquiries related to data privacy, security, and access rights should be directed to your administrator, as your use of the Services is governed by the policies established by that organization. Bekind Labs is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of an administrator’s organization, which may differ from those outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Administrator Capabilities

Member Administration: Administrators can add or remove members, assign roles, and adjust permissions within the account. This ensures that only authorized individuals have access to specific projects and resources.

Account Settings Configuration: They have the authority to modify account details, manage billing information, and oversee subscription plans, ensuring the account aligns with organizational requirements.

Project Settings Control: Administrators can edit project settings, including iteration length, point scales, and integration configurations, tailoring each project to its specific workflow.

Member Role Assignment: They can designate project roles such as Owner, Member, or Viewer, controlling the level of access and permissions each user has within a project.

Even if your current use of the Services is not managed by an administrator, an organization may still assume administrative control over your account at a later date. For instance, if you use an organization-issued email address (such as your work email) to register for Tracker Boot, the owner of the email domain (e.g., your employer) may claim administrative control over your account and its associated data. Should this occur, you will receive notification of the change.

If you do not wish to be subject to an organization’s administrative control, you should consider:

  • Using a personal email address to register for or access the Services instead of a work-issued email;
  • Deactivating your membership with any Tracker Boot project, team, or enterprise account that is administered by an organization;
  • Updating the email address associated with your account (provided an administrator has not yet assumed control).

Once an administrator takes control over your account, you will no longer be able to change your email address or access permissions without the administrator’s approval.

For further information, please refer to your organization’s IT or administrative policies or contact your administrator directly.

Additional disclosures for California residents

This section applies exclusively to residents of California and supplements the Bekind Labs Privacy Policy, in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

Sensitive Personal Information

Bekind Labs does not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than permitted under applicable laws.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the business purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by legal or regulatory obligations.

For specific data types, Bekind Labs retains:

  • Account Information: Retained for as long as your account remains active and a reasonable period thereafter in case you decide to reactivate your Services.
  • Transaction and Billing Data: Retained for up to 7 years for tax, accounting, and legal compliance purposes.
  • Support Data and Communications: Retained for up to 3 years to assist with ongoing service improvements and dispute resolution.
  • Marketing Information: Retained until you opt-out, with a maximum retention period of 2 years from your last interaction.

If immediate deletion is not technically feasible (such as data stored in backup archives), we will securely isolate and store the data until deletion is possible.

Exercising Your Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These rights include such as the rights to request information about how we process your personal information, request deletion and the right to request access to the specific pieces of categories of personal information we have collected about you. For instructions on how to exercise these rights, please refer to the section “How to access and control your information.” We encourage you to manage your personal data and take advantage of the privacy controls provided in our Services. Bekind Labs does not discriminate against users who exercise their CCPA privacy rights. To ensure the security of your data, we may require identity verification before processing requests to access, correct, or delete your information. If we cannot verify your identity, we may be unable to fulfill such requests.

Opting Out of Certain Disclosures to Third Parties

You may choose to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising by following the instructions provided in your privacy settings. Where required, we also honor opt-out requests submitted via privacy preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC). For further details on GPC and how to implement it in your browser, visit globalprivacycontrol.org. Starting February 25, 2025, Bekind Labs will begin sharing data with selected partners for limited business purposes. Users will be able to manage these settings within their account privacy controls or by contacting privacy@bekindlabs.com.

Authorized Agents

You may appoint an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. To do so, you must provide the agent with written permission, and we may request a copy of this authorization when processing their request. In addition, we may require you to verify your own identity and confirm that you have granted permission to the authorized agent.

Age Restrictions and Children’s Privacy

Tracker Boot is intended for users aged 16 and above. Users under 16 may access the Service only with the verifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian or under the supervision of an authorized educational institution. If a user under 16 wishes to use the Service, they must either obtain prior approval or be enrolled in a supervised educational program. In compliance with applicable laws such as COPPA, Tracker Boot is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has submitted personal data without appropriate consent or supervision, we will take steps to delete the information promptly.

International data transfers

Bekind Labs operates globally and, in order to ensure seamless service delivery, may transfer, process, and store user data in Japan, South Korea, India, the United States, and other jurisdictions where Bekind Labs or third-party service providers operate. These transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR, APPI, PIPA, and DPDPA.

To facilitate business operations, Bekind Labs transfers personal data between its corporate affiliates in Japan, South Korea, India, and the United States. These entities comply with regional privacy laws, and data transfers between them are protected through legally recognized mechanisms, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission and other safeguards required under GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and APPI.

Certain third-party service providers, cloud storage providers, and analytics partners process data on behalf of Bekind Labs in jurisdictions that may not have equivalent privacy protections to those in Japan, South Korea, India, the EEA, or the United States. To ensure the security of such transfers, Bekind Labs implements legally recognized safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for data transfers outside the EEA, Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) for transfers to data processors in regions without adequate data protection laws, and contractual agreements requiring service providers to comply with applicable privacy regulations. Further details regarding cross-border data transfers may be obtained by contacting the Bekind Labs Privacy Team.
