Personal Information

Personal Information means information that by itself identifies an individual (such as name, credit card number, or email address) as well as information that can be combined to identify an individual. In this Policy we distinguish Operational Personal Information from Personal Information in Content that may be backed up, stored or hosted through use of our Products, and treat each type of Personal Information differently, as described below.


Operational Personal Information

Operational Personal Information is Personal Information we collect and use in order to provide, support and market our products and services. Operational Personal Information may include name, address, telephone number, email address and/or credit card number. We collect Operational Personal Information from individuals (including individual representatives of companies or other legal entities such as employees, officers or administrators) who register for, purchase and use our products and services and from individuals who contact us and voluntarily disclose such information to us. This list includes suppliers, users or potential users, or persons authorised to deal directly with Rubicon for Product support (we will refer to all of these in this Policy as “Customers”).  Rubicon collects Operational Personal Information in many ways such as when someone fills out a form on our website, submits an email or other inquiry to us, registers for, purchases or uses a product or service, registers or logs on to one of the areas of our website or web-based applications that are restricted to registered users, or requests support for a product or service.


How we may Use Operational Personal Information

Rubicon uses Operational Personal Information for responding to and processing inquiries, orders and service requests or generally for any other purpose related to the original purpose for which the Operational Personal Information was collected. Rubicon also may use Operational Personal Information for supporting your relationship with Rubicon by designing services that are suitable to your needs, general product support and updates, marketing, alerting you to new product or service offerings as they become available, continuing existing service and support, and other similar purposes.  This Information may also be used to provide you with notices about your purchases, your use of the products and services, and to carry out Rubicon’s obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection.


Personal Information in Content

We treat all Content that is stored or hosted using our services in the same manner, described below, regardless of whether or not it contains Personal Information.


How we may use Content

Rubicon will not view, access or use Content, including Personal Information within Content, except as needed to actually provide our products and services, as authorised by Customers in connection with product and service support as described below, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

In the course of providing any product and service support requested by a Customer, Rubicon may have incidental access to Content.  Any Customer request for product or service support will be deemed express permission for us to access Content as needed for the limited purposes of providing the requested support.  Customer, as the data controller, is responsible for furnishing any notices or obtaining any consents required by law from the relevant individuals.


Aggregate Information

Personal Information, including any Personal Information in Content, does not include Aggregate Information, which is information we collect or process about a group or category of data.  Aggregate Information cannot be attributed to any individual. We may use and share such Aggregate Information to improve products and services, develop new products and services, understand and/or analyse usage, demand, and general industry trends, develop and publish white papers, reports, and databases summarising the foregoing, and generally for any purpose related to our business.  Aggregate Information may be derived from information provided by any Customer, from the use of our products and services or from passive data collection techniques described below.  No Personal Information is included in Aggregate Information.  This Policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of Aggregate Information.


How we may Share Personal Information and Content

Rubicon will not give, sell, share, or trade any Operational Personal Information or any Personal Information in Content to any party outside of Rubicon except as outlined in this Policy or with appropriate consent. We may disclose Personal Information to a third party in the following limited circumstances:

  • as needed to enforce Rubicon’s Terms of Use, policies and any other contractual relationships with our Customers;
  • when we have a good faith belief that the disclosure is necessary to prevent or respond to fraud, defend our website or products and services against possible attacks, or protect the property and safety of Rubicon, our Customers or the public;
  • as required by law, such as to comply with a witness summons, warrant, regulatory oversight or similar legal process;
  • in connection with any potential sale, transfer, merger, consolidation or other transaction involving all or part of our company.

In addition, we may disclose Operational Personal Information (but not Content), as needed, in the following circumstances:

  • to companies that provide services that help us with our business activities such as processing Customer payments. These companies are authorised to use Personal Information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

Transfers of Personal Information

We may transfer Personal Information, including in Content, to countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which the information was initially provided.  When we transfer Personal Information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy.
