Redwood Resilience Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice is a public statement of how Redwood Resilience applies data protection principles to processing data. It will provide clarity on who is collecting the data, what data is being collected, and what is being done with the data.
Who we are
Redwood Resilience is a product developed by Redwood Resilience and Dr. Gail Wright, M.D.
This Privacy Notice governs the collection, storage and use of personal information collected by Redwood Resilience Limited, via the website at Redwood Resilience.com, through the desktop software ‘Redwood Resilience,’ and any 3rd parties used by the organization.
What We Collect
We ask for your name and email address when you signup to our service. This is our primary mechanism to identify you when you log in, and allows us to assign licenses to your account to enable you to use the software.
- For licensing and security reasons we also collect your computer IP address, and your machine name.
- We may additionally ask you for more information when you report a problem with the Redwood Resilience software, to enable us to help you in finding a solution.
What we do with your personal data
The personal data we collect will be used for the following purpose:
- To contact you from your initiated request for information or to speak with Dr. Wright.
- To prevent abuse of the free trial license, for instance a single user signing up with multiple different email addresses.
- To send support messages to you, for any follow up from form communications.
- To send marketing emails to you (note that we only do this if you explicitly opt-in to marketing emails, a separate consent to accessing the software).
Our legal basis for processing personal data is as follows:
Contract – when you sign up for services from Dr. Wright directly or Redwood Resilience you are entering into a contract with either or/and Redwood Resilience, for any of the products and services offered.
Legitimate Interests – it is in our business interest that we do not open ourselves to abuse of the free trial provision.
Consent – when you sign up to receive our email newsletter we will ask for your explicit consent to collect and store your personal data. This is not a requirement of the Redwood Resilience software, but an ‘additional extra’, and you may withdraw your consent at any time.
How is the data stored?
Data is stored in our secure North American data center, and backed up regularly offline. This data has heavily restricted access, to authorized personnel only.
The list below details all the third parties we share your data with, and some of these are located outside the EU. However, all of these companies are GDPR compliant, and we have signed a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) which complies with GDPR.
Who we share your personal data with:
To help us deliver Redwood Resilience we use various third party applications and services, with which we share your personal data, in order to deliver a better service.
How will the information be used:
Your personal data is primarily used in the process of creating and managing a user account. Licenses are assigned against a user account, which enables users to access and use the software. We do not collect or use any data unless a user signs up for an account in the first place, or voluntary contacts us via email or otherwise.
Additionally, we also use the data for the following reasons:
- To provide ongoing support, to help users successfully use the software, and introduce them to new or unused features.
- To track and resolve bugs and issues in the software.
- To send marketing emails, both product-related and informational/educational content (must be opted-into separately).
How long will the data be stored for?
The data will be stored for the lifetime of the service. One of the primary reasons we collect and store personal data is so that we can offer every user a free trial of the software, without the significant business risk that this offer be abused by users registering multiple trials from different email addresses.
By matching email address data with computer and IP address data, we can mitigate this risk and prevent abuse, since we have a much more accurate idea of who has tried the software previously.
Since this could occur at any future point in time, it is necessary for us to store this data up until the point where the business is no longer trading.
What rights do you have?
As the data subject, you have the following rights:
- The right to ask us to provide you with copies of personal information held about you at any time, free of charge.
- The right to ask us to update and correct any out-of-date or incorrect personal information held about you, free of charge.
- The right to opt out of any marketing communications that we (or any third party to whom we have disclosed your personal information with your consent) may send you.
- The right to have your personal information deleted and removed from our systems, and any 3rd parties whom we have shared your data with.
What happens if I ask for my personal information to be deleted?
We will need to close any account you may have with Redwood Resilience account, meaning you no longer have access to your account on the Redwood Resilience web site. We will then remove all records of your personal data from our internal data stores, and go through the user deletion process for each of our third parties with whom your personal data may be shared.
What we don’t and won’t ever do:
- We don’t, and never will sell or rent your information to any third party.
What happens to my data during and after the free trial?
When you fill out a form or sign up for services with Redwood Resilience, you enter into a contract with us, for us to provide you with. During this period, and for a short time after, we will contact you through the information you have provided to provide services.
We will still however store your personal data.
