SPICEWORKS PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: December 30, 2019

This Spiceworks Privacy Policy describes how Spiceworks Inc. and its subsidiary
group companies (together the “Spiceworks Group” or “we” or “us”) treat Personal
Data that you provide or we collect when you use any of our services (listed
below).

Our service consists of (a) our website located at www.spiceworks.com and
community.www.spiceworks.com, and any subdomains of thereof (collectively, the
“Site”), (b) any web-based service made available to you by or on behalf of
Spiceworks via the Site (each, a “Web-based Offering”), (c) our downloadable or
cloud based software applications (each, an “App”) and IT tools (each, a
“Tool”), and (d) all  content published on our Site  (other than user content)
(the “Content”). The Site, the Web-based Offerings, the Apps, the Tools, and the
Content are referred to collectively in this Privacy Policy as our “Service” and
each a “Service”. Additional features of portions of the Service are described
in our Terms of Use (the “Terms of Use”), which may be found at
www.spiceworks.com/terms (or any successor URL).

“Personal Data” means any information that can be used to identify, contact, or
locate you, such as: your name, address, email address, or phone number, but
does not include any information that has been fully anonymized so that a
specific individual can no longer be identified from it.

Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about our information
practices, including what type of Personal Data is gathered, how the Personal
Data is used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose Personal Data, and how
we safeguard your Personal Data.

Our privacy practices may vary among the countries in which we operate to
reflect local practices and legal requirements (“Applicable Data Protection
Laws”).

According to Applicable Data Protection Laws, you may be entitled to know the
identity of your “Data Controller” i.e. the legal entity which determines why
and how your personal data is processed. In most cases, this will be Spiceworks,
Inc. In the event another member of the Spiceworks Group is responsible for
processing your Personal Data as a Data Controller we will make you aware of
this when you purchase the relevant product or service from us.

Within the Spiceworks Group, our most important asset is our relationship with
our user community. We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality,
integrity, and security of the Personal Data of our users. We are proud of our
privacy practices and want you to know how we protect your information submitted
or collected through your use of our service.

If you have any questions related to Data Subject Access Rights under GDPR or
CCPA, you can contact us through our DSAR Portal


WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Account Information. When you sign up for a Spiceworks Account, we ask you for
Personal Data such as your name, email address and company name.

Social Networking Site Information. For your convenience, we may allow you to
register to join Spiceworks by using log in credentials from third-party social
networking sites (“SNS”) such as Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. If you register
via an SNS, the SNS may provide us with some of the Personal Data you have
provided to the SNS.

Profile Information and User Contributions. You may choose to create a public
Spiceworks profile, a project page or a profile page, and to share Personal Data
or make user contributions as part of the same. Please be aware that any
Personal Data or contribution you choose to share in this way, will be
published, and made generally available to other users and third parties via the
Site. This user generated content is publicly available and we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of the other users or third parties who
may view and use that information. If you do not want your Personal Data or user
contributions to be accessible in this way, please do not post it. If you would
like to contribute to our IT community via a Spiceworks profile, a project page
or a profile page, but do not want to be identifiable to other users, you may
use an alias or other pseudonym to protect your identity, provided that the
information you provide as part of your Account Information must always be
correct, accurate and up-to-date.

Customer Support. We may collect Personal Data through your communications with
our customer support team. Please ensure that no sensitive personal data is
submitted in connection with your requests for support (for example, health
information, political or religious beliefs, information about minors, etc.).

Clickstream Data. We and our third-party service providers may automatically
collect certain information from your device or web browser when you use parts
of the Service (such as the Site and the Tools) to help us understand usage,
what is of interest to you and how to provide you more relevant advertising and
content.  We refer to this information as Clickstream Data.  This includes, for
example, your IP address, mobile device identifier or other unique identifier,
browser and computer type, date and time of access, the previous Web page that
you came from and the page you go to next after leaving the Service, each of our
pages that you visit and how you interact with advertising and our content
within the Service.  The Clickstream Data we collect generally does not identify
you as an identifiable person, but if it does, we will treat it as Personal
Data. If your browser has a “private browsing” mode you may be able to block
this information from being sent to Spiceworks, but in some cases this may
impact your ability to use the Service.

App Data. As part of our Service, we offer Apps to help IT pros do their jobs
every day.  We refer to this information as App Data.  For example, each
installed copy of the Inventory app includes a unique application number. If you
install the application, this number and a message indicating whether the
installation succeeded or failed, is sent back to Spiceworks. Also, when the app
automatically checks to see if a new version is available, the current version
number and the unique application number are sent to Spiceworks. The unique
application number is required for the app to function properly and cannot be
disabled. We also collect information you input into this app and other Apps in
connection with your use of those offerings.

In addition, certain Apps contain features that are used to automatically
transmit certain content and information about your environment and that
information is transmitted back to Spiceworks and, where possible, then
anonymized so that it no longer reflects or references an individually
identifiable user. This includes information about equipment on which the app
was installed, the number and types of devices in your environment, warranty
information related to devices in your environment and server information. If
Personal Data is included on that equipment or included in other information
collected by a different App, such as a Helpdesk ticket for example, it may be
sent to or otherwise collected by Spiceworks. In general, we use App Data to
better understand how the Apps are used, improve the functionality of the Apps
and to better understand our users and their needs.  We also utilize information
in end user tickets generated by the Helpdesk App to assist you with specific
requested support issues and to better understand the kinds of issues our users
are dealing with on a daily basis. Some Apps incorporate software from third
parties or are hosted by third parties and if you chose to use those Apps, the
use of those Apps and the information gathered by them are subject to the terms
and conditions and privacy policy of that third party.

For more information about a particular App or Tool and the data it collects,
please visit community.www.spiceworks.com/support.

Payment Information. If you elect to use paid features of the Service, you may
need to provide Personal Data to our third-party payment processors, such as
your credit card number.


OUR USE OF COOKIES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES

Spiceworks uses cookies, which are alphanumeric identifiers in the form of text
files that are stored on your computer, to make the Service easier to use, to
improve our advertising, and to protect you and Spiceworks. For example, we use
them to store your login ID (but never your password) to make it easier for you
to login whenever you come back to the Site. We also use them to remember the
last application page you visited and advertisements you’ve already seen. You
can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some
cases that may impact your ability to use the Service.

Many of the advertisements you see when using the Service have been placed by
third parties. These third parties may choose to use their own cookies for the
purposes of collecting information relating to the viewing of their advertising.
This Privacy Policy is intended to cover the use of cookies implemented by
Spiceworks and does not describe third-party cookies in detail or their privacy
policies.

We use a third-party service provider to serve ads on our behalf across the
Internet and sometimes on our site. They may collect anonymous information about
your visits to our Site and your interaction with our products and services.

A tracking pixel (also referred to as a clear gif, pixel tag or single pixel
tag) is a graphic with dimensions of 1×1 pixels that is loaded when a user
visits a website or opens an email. A pixel is used in conjunction with cookies
to help us manage and monitor our online advertising and wider business
arrangements with third parties, to measure and analyze site usage and activity
and to improve the quality of the Service. In certain circumstances, we share IP
addresses that are captured by pixels to help our advertisers analyze the
efficacy of their campaigns. This also allows us to aggregate anonymous
information relating to advertising and website usage. For example, the type of
information collected includes information relating to page views. Pixels may be
used to recognize third-party cookies and inform us and/or third parties of
which advertisement or link brought you to the Site, allowing us to monitor the
business relationships with third parties.

We also work with a third party to monitor certain pages of our Site for the
purpose of reporting Site traffic and other advertising statistics. Where
authorized by us, this third party may use cookies and/or other monitoring
technologies to compile anonymous statistics about our Site visitors. No
Personal Data is transferred to this third party.

In addition, we use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze Service usage. More
information on how Google uses data when you use services like ours can be found
at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.


HOW AND WHY WE USE PERSONAL DATA

We collect information, which may include Personal Data, because it helps us
deliver the absolute best user experience we possibly can. It is one of our core
beliefs that we can only achieve that goal with your help and by customizing
your experience. Gathering this information enables us to connect you with other
people interested in technology like yourself and technology vendors, provide
you with convenient and accurate information about discussion topics you may be
interested in, and bring you timely and relevant information about the products
and services that you may need. In addition, this information helps us keep you
informed on the latest product and service announcements, software updates, and
support information in a timely fashion. Most importantly, this information
allows us to tune the product experience over time (including showing your more
relevant content and ads), optimizing the Service based on your feedback and how
you actually use the Service.

More specifically, we use your Personal Data in the following ways:

Internal and Service-Related Usage. We use data that you input into, or that is
collected by, the Service to perform the services requested in connection with
those portions of the Service. For example, if you input inventory data into one
of the Web-based Offerings, we will use that information to display that
inventory data to you when you use such Web-based Offering. If you use a Tool to
obtain information on a system in your network, we may store that data and
provide you or other authorized users at or associated with your organization
access to it via the Service. We use your payment information
(through-third-party payment processors) to collect payment for the applicable
portions of the Service. We may store and combine the Personal Data you submit
or we collect via any part of the Service with information from other Spiceworks
services or third parties (including SNS) in order to deliver the Service, to
provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services.

We may use data that you input into, or that is collected by, the Service to
derive anonymized or aggregate data about your current IT environment, or your
company operations, and may use this data to display customized content and
advertising to you, and/or compare your environment configuration to those of
the broader user community or for other purposes. Such information does not
identify you individually.

We use Clickstream Data to analyze trends, to administer the Service, to track
users’ movements around the Site, to gather demographic information about our
user base as a whole, and to operate and improve the Spiceworks technologies and
services. We may use and retain any data we collect to provide and improve our
services.

Displaying your profile information or user contributions to Other
Users. Personal Data you choose to include in your public profile and/or any
user contributions you post will be publicly available and can be read,
collected, or used by other individuals, including to send you unsolicited
messages. With the exception of your email address, which is never viewable,
some of the information provided from your SNS may be viewable by persons who
visit Spiceworks, which you can control by editing your Spiceworks profile. We
cannot control the actions of other users of the Service with whom you may
choose to share your user contributions or who may view your profile
information. While we have restrictions in our Terms of Use, we cannot and do
not guarantee that your user contributions or profile information will not be
viewed or used inappropriately as they are publicly accessible. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices of the other users who will view and use
the posted information. However, you always have a choice as to whether (and to
what extent) you share information as part of your public profile or as part of
posts in the Community.

Spiceworks-Related Communication. We use your Personal Data to contact you about
administrative notices, application & network alerts, community activity,
product updates, offers and promotions, and general news about Spiceworks and
our partners. This communication may be in the form of an alert, email or
possibly a phone call, where permitted under applicable law. The frequency of
this type of communication varies based on the type of notification. For
example, alerts are delivered as they occur, while our product newsletter is
generally delivered monthly. You can manage your email preferences with respect
to content and delivery or you may unsubscribe from all emails from us. You can
also email us at support@www.spiceworks.com regarding your communication
preferences.

Advertising. Our current business model is based on free access and usage of the
Service by IT pros and we earn revenue by charging our IT vendor partners who
interact with IT pros through our Service in a number of ways, including through
ads.  Like most other websites you probably use, in order to serve you those ads
and to make them relevant to you, we need to use the data we know about you.  We
also may share information we have collected to show our IT vendor partners how
effective their campaigns performed or how to make their campaigns more
effective.  While we may pass IP address information in pixels or cookies, no
information that personally identifies you is shared with our IT vendor partners
as part of this process but they may, under certain circumstances, see
information about what companies are involved in our user community such as
company names, sizes and industry. They do not know, and we do not tell them,
your name, phone number, address, email address or any information that may
personally identify you.

Customer Testimonials. From time-to-time we may ask individual users to
participate in customer testimonials posted on our website. We never post these
testimonials without their express permission. Any information provided as part
of these testimonials is used solely for the purpose of these testimonials and
is not used in any other way. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial,
you can contact us at support@www.spiceworks.com.

Search Engines. Certain Personal Data may also be accessible via search engines
or similar services. For example, if you make a post on one of our community
forums, your profile information and the content of the posts you make may be
accessible through a Google search.

We consider that the processing we undertake above (or mentioned elsewhere in
this Privacy Policy) is either:

 * necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (for
   example, where we provide a requested Service to you);
 * necessary for us to take steps, at your request, to enter into such a
   contract (for example, where you make an enquiry about receiving a Service
   from us);
 * necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third
   party and not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms
   of any data subject (for example, where we desire to provide improved client
   customer service and support as well as enhancing and developing our products
   and services, and the IT-systems and processes used to support such products
   and services, and the marketing and sale thereof); or
 * necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject. For
   example, under applicable law, we may be obliged to:
   * secure and maintain technical and organizational measures to protect the
     security of your data;
   * investigate and report any (suspected) breaches of those technical and
     organizational measures.
   * comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including, but not limited
     to, complying with minimum retention periods for certain types of data.

Where we do not consider that we can rely on a legal basis for processing that
is set out above, then we will ask for your consent before processing your
information. For example, we will ask for your consent before publishing your
customer testimonial on our Site. Another example is where you sign up for an
event organized by Spiceworks, we may ask for your consent to share your contact
details with the sponsor of the event, who may wish to contact you about
products and services which may be of interest to you.  You can tell we are
asking for consent because we will describe the request and have a link to a
privacy policy.


HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

Service Providers. We may use third-party service providers to help us deliver
parts of the Service and to improve the Service. For example, we use a
third-party service to manage our email marketing campaigns. This system stores
your name, email address and the date on which you registered. When we use third
parties to assist us in processing your Personal Data, we require that they
comply with appropriate confidentiality and data protection and security
measures.

Clickstream Data. We may share Clickstream Data with our third-party service
providers to help us deliver and improve parts of the Service and when we do so
we ensure they comply with appropriate confidentiality and data protection and
security measures.  We also share Clickstream Data with our partners such as IT
vendors who want to better understand our user base and what interests them and
what kind of marketing materials might be the most relevant to them, but (as
explained elsewhere in this policy) we ensure that any Clickstream Data that we
share with our business partners does not identify you as an individual. We
share this kind of data so that your experience in our Service is customized and
the most relevant to you and your needs.

App Data. We may share App Data with third parties so long as it does not
identify any specific individual or disclose Personal Data about you or your end
users (such as the name of someone in your organization who submitted a Helpdesk
ticket). This information allows us and our advertisers to understand business
technology needs and trends.

Marketing. We may share firmographic data and anonymous aggregated information
with third parties outside of Spiceworks, such as advertisers and market
research firms approved by Spiceworks, for their marketing and promotional
purposes. For example, we share with advertisers the breakdown of our user
community by company size and industry and, in certain circumstances, the names
of companies that are represented within our user community. This allows the
advertisers to try to reach audiences that may be interested in their products
or services. When we share this information, it does not identify you
individually or disclose any of your Personal Information.

When you sign up to a Spiceworks event. When you sign up for a Spiceworks event,
such as a webinar, we will ask for your consent to share your contact
information with the sponsor of the event so that they may contact you with
products and service which they feel may be of interest to you. 

As Required by Law and Similar Disclosures. We reserve the right to disclose
your Personal Data as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is
necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding,
court order, or legal process served on the Service. We may also share Personal
Data with third parties in limited circumstances, including when preventing
fraud or imminent harm and ensuring the security of our network and services.

Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger,
acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership,
sale of our assets, or transition of service to another provider, your
information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as
permitted by law and/or contract.


YOUR RIGHTS AND YOUR CHOICES

Under Applicable Data Protection Laws, you may have the right, in certain cases,
to request access to your Personal Data that we process, to request details
about such Personal Data, including the purposes and potential recipients of
this data, to have such Personal Data rectified or deleted, to have the
processing thereof restricted, or to object to the processing of your Personal
Data, as well as to request a copy of your Personal Data in a standardized
format so that it can be provided to another vendor.

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any
time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by
contacting us at any time using the contact details below.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data
protection authority or other public authority governing the protection of your
personal information.

Further rights are covered in the EU Standard Contractual Clauses referenced
above.

In addition, you may decline to provide Personal Data to us and/or refuse
cookies in your browser, but if you do (or if successfully object to the
processing of your Personal Data by us, or successfully request that such
Personal Data be deleted) some if not all of our features or services may not
function properly as a result.

To exercise these rights, please follow the steps set out below, or contact us
via email at pii@www.spiceworks.com or send us a notice in writing, addressed to
the Data Protection Manager at Spiceworks, Inc., 3700 N. Capital of Texas

Spiceworks relies on Google Services for display of ads in our Service. To
Opt-Out of any targeted ads based on your activity on our site, please utilize
the following URL: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/. You can
also utilize optout.aboutads.info. In addition, we use OneTrust to record
whether you have consented to our use of cookies and similar technologies. If
you are a non-registered user and would like to withdraw your consent, please
first modify your browser settings to not accept Spiceworks cookies and then
clear all of your cookies. It may be possible to set your browser to not accept
cookies and ask for your consent before each cookie is set on your device. If
you modify your browser settings to prevent it from accepting Spiceworks
cookies, please be aware that the functionality of some of our service will be
impaired.

If your Personal Data changes, you may update it using the “Update Profile” link
at the bottom of the email newsletter. When you update information, we may keep
a copy of the prior version for our records. If you have specific requests about
your Personal Data, you may email us at pii@www.spiceworks.com.

You have control over your Spiceworks user profile and related privacy settings
and can edit such to remove information that you do not want others to see
publicly via the Site. You can manage your personal profile information by
visiting the URL: https://community.www.spiceworks.com/profile. The information
you post in your project pages or profile pages is publicly available and there
are not any privacy settings on those pages so if you do not want certain
information to be publicly available, do not post it to your project pages or
profile pages.

We may access, preserve, and disclose your Personal Data, other account
information, and content, including after you terminate usage of the Service, if
we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: comply with our legal
obligations, resolve disputes, respond to your requests, or protect yours’,
ours’ or others’ rights, property, or safety.

If you wish to terminate your community log-in, contact us at
support@www.spiceworks.com.

To uninstall Apps and Tools (including related agents), please refer to the
then-current documentation for the applicable App or Tool. When you uninstall,
generally the App or the Tool and all its associated data files (e.g., data on
workstations collected by Tool-related agents, help desk tickets, etc.) will be
deleted. Once deleted it cannot be recovered.


INFORMATION CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY

By using the Service or providing Personal Data to us, you agree that we may
communicate with you electronically regarding your use of the Site. If we learn
of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by
posting a notice on our Help and Support Security Center or sending an email to
you. You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive
free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from
receiving electronic notice), please notify us at pii@www.spiceworks.com.


INTERNATIONAL USERS

Spiceworks, Inc. is a United States company and processes Personal Data on
servers in the United States of America and in other countries. In some cases,
we may process Personal Data on a server outside your own country. If you are
visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data
collection and use, please note that by using our Site, making an enquiry,
availing yourself of any Service or otherwise providing us with Personal Data
you will be exporting Personal Data outside of the EEA to the United States and
processing it globally.

Our Terms of Use incorporate the EU Standard Contractual Clauses prepared for
transfers from data controllers to data processors, or data controllers to data
controllers (depending on these circumstances of the transfer) which is a
specific contract approved by the European Commission which give personal data
the same protection it has in Europe (“Model Clause Agreement”). The template
text is available in various languages at this link:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en.

Where we are responsible for transferring your Personal Data out of the EEA (and
where we are required to do so under Applicable Data Protection Law) we will
ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one
of the safeguards specified under applicable European data protection law is
implemented, which may include that:

 * We will only transfer your Personal Data to countries that have been deemed
   to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European
   Commission;
 * Where we use certain service providers, we may appoint them on terms which
   reflect a Model Clause Agreement; or
 * Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they
   are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar
   protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.


RETENTION OF DATA

Where you choose to create a public Spiceworks profile, a project page or a
profile page, or post a user contribution, we generally do not delete or disable
any information contained in such page, profile or contribution until and unless
you ask us to. To request this, please contact us via email at
pii@www.spiceworks.com or send us a notice in writing, addressed to the Data
Protection Manager at Spiceworks, Inc., 3700 N. Capital of Texas Highway, Suite
100, Austin, TX 78746, USA.

In all other cases, your Personal Data will be stored by Spiceworks for as long
as necessary in order to fulfill the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and
to comply with minimum retention periods under applicable law. Unless otherwise
specified in our Terms of Use, or notified to you in writing, we generally aim
to put this Personal Data beyond further use within 12 months after the end of
the provision of any Service to you. However, you can request earlier deletion
by contacting us via email at pii@www.spiceworks.com or send us a notice in
writing, addressed to the Data Protection Manager at Spiceworks, Inc., 3700 N.
Capital of Texas Highway, Suite 100, Austin, TX 78746, USA.
