Privacy Policy

1. Highlights

  • We will never sell your information to a third party.
  • We never share information about your projects, repositories, users, or other data with anyone unless you request in writing that we do so.
  • When we have a legal obligation to do so, or in cases of suspected fraud, we may share data with law enforcement.
  • Please write to us at support@projectlocker.com if you have questions or would like to export or delete your data.

2. Full Privacy Policy

By using projectlocker.com (the “Website”) and/or a ProjectLocker account (the “Service”), you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service. ProjectLocker is operated by ProjectLocker, LLC (“ProjectLocker”). This privacy policy is incorporated into the Terms of Service, and some terms used here may be defined in the Terms of Service. By using the ProjectLocker Service, you are giving ProjectLocker permission to store and use your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

3. GDPR Rights

The terms and provisions in this section 3 only apply to you if you are a resident of the EEA and only to the extent that ProjectLocker is subject to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). ProjectLocker collects and processes your personal information under the following legal grounds:

  • Consent. Your personal information may be used as described in this Privacy Policy subject to your consent. You can withdraw your consent by contacting us at support@projectlocker.com.
  • Legitimate interests. Your personal information may be used to provide the ProjectLocker service.
  • Legal compliance. Your personal information may be used to fulfill our legal obligations. These may include (but are not limited to) (i) federal, state, or local laws, (ii) court orders, (iii) consent decrees.

We may use the information we collect about you as described in Section 6 of this Privacy Policy.

Access, Correction, or Deletion of Your Data

If you want to request an export or deletion of your personal data, please contact us at support@projectlocker.com. We are not able to delete personal data that is a part of an active ProjectLocker account if you are not the owner, since doing so would prevent us from providing the service for the account owner. In this case, you may contact the account owner to request that your personal data be anonymized or deleted.

ProjectLocker maintains backups for indefinite periods of time. These are not stored in an accessible format, and are heavily compressed, so it is it not possible to delete personal data from these backups. However, if we are required to restore a backup to active use, we will apply requests for deletion of personal data to the newly restored backups.

4. EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks

ProjectLocker complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework(s) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States. ProjectLocker has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/. ProjectLocker is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives, under each Privacy Shield Framework, and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. ProjectLocker complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions. ProjectLocker is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the United States Federal Trade Commission. In order to comply with applicable laws and regulations, ProjectLocker may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, ProjectLocker commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your personal information. EU and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our Privacy Shield policy should first contact ProjectLocker at:

privacy@projectlocker.com

ProjectLocker has further committed to refer unresolved Privacy Shield complaints to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your complaint to your satisfaction, please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you. To facilitate fast and convenient resolution of complaints, you agree to participate in on-line dispute resolution through JAMS Online Mediation (Endispute). Under certain conditions, Privacy Shield provides the right to invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have not provided resolution. This is described in Annex I to the Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=ANNEX-I-introduction).
