Please read this policy carefully to understand how we will collect, use, and disclose your information, and what choices you have with respect to your information. You can also access a printable version of this Privacy Policy here.

1. Who We Are

We are sieve, a company with a mission to automate manual data cleaning tasks.

2. Scope and Applicability

This policy describes how sieve collects, uses, shares or otherwise processes information relating to individuals and the rights associated with that processing. A reference to "sieve," "we," "us" or the "Company" is a reference to Sieve Data Inc. and its affiliates involved in the collection, use, sharing, or other processing of personal information. Where applicable, Sieve Data Inc. is the controller.

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal information we collect when you use our websites (such as www.usesieve) and our products, services, and applications (collectively, the "Services"), when you attend a sieve event, or otherwise interact with us.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the extent we process personal information in the role of processor or service provider on behalf of our customers. Customers are solely responsible for establishing policies for and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as any and all privacy policies, agreements, or other obligations relating to such Customers' use or collection of personal information in connection with the use of our Services by individuals with whom our Customers interact. If you are an individual who interacts with a Customer using our Services or you otherwise believe that a Customer uses our Services to process your personal information, and you contact us regarding this data, you will be directed to contact the applicable Customer for assistance with any requests or questions relating to your personal information, including without limitation any requests to access, amend or erase your personal information.

3. Personal Information We Collect

When we talk about "personal information" or "personal data," we're talking about a broad range of information. Data protection laws around the world define this concept in different ways, but in general, we mean any information that relates to an identifiable, living individual person.

In addition, some data protection laws and privacy laws in certain jurisdictions differentiate between "controllers" and "processors" of personal data. A controller decides why and how to process personal data. A processor does not make decisions about personal data; it only processes personal data on behalf of a controller based on the controller's instructions.

A. Personal Information You Provide Us Directly

We collect personal information you provide directly to us when interacting with us or using the Services. We use this information to provide, improve, promote, and protect the Services. Providing this information is voluntary but may be necessary in certain cases, such as for account registration. In such cases, if the information is not provided, sieve may not be able to provide the user with the requested Services.

B. Personal Information We Collect From You Automatically

We use typical tools and services, such as log files, cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies to automatically collect information, which may contain personal information from your devices while you navigate our Services or interact with emails we sent to you. For more information, please visit our Cookie Policy.

C. Personal Information We Collect From Third Parties

We may also collect personal data from third-party sources such as authentication partners and public databases for the purposes of user authentication and marketing activities. For example, if you create or log into your sieve account using your Google Account credentials, we will access your name and email for authentication.

4. How and Why We Use Personal Information

If you are based in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), the United Kingdom ("UK"), or Switzerland, our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. As further described in Sections 7 and 15, we comply with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework ("EU-U.S. DPF"), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework ("Swiss-U.S. DPF") regarding collection, retention, and use of personal information from the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland. Below describes the legal bases we rely on for each of our purposes in using your personal information.

In some limited cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you. If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not, as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal circumstance.

5. Personal Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection:

Customer Admin and Users

If your User account was provisioned by a Customer, your administrator ("Admin") may have access and control over the information associated with your account. The Customer may have its own policies governing access and use of information in your User account. Depending on a Customer's settings and your choices, we will share certain information with other Users that are part of a Customer account.

Affiliates

sieve may share personal information with affiliates for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Service Providers

sieve uses certain trusted third-party service providers to help us provide, improve, protect, and promote our Services. These third parties may have access to your personal information to perform services on our behalf but only as is reasonably necessary for the purpose that sieve has engaged them for and in compliance with this Privacy Policy. Some of the third parties that sieve may share your personal information with include providers who assist sieve with functions such as: billing; customer support; hosting and storage; analytics; and marketing services.

Business Transferees

We may sell, transfer or otherwise share information in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy.

Authorities and Others

We may disclose your information to third parties if we determine such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or government request, (b) protect any person from death or serious bodily injury, (c) prevent fraud, abuse, or security issue of sieve or other users, and (d) to protect sieve's or its licensors' rights, property, safety, or interest.

Consent

We may also disclose or share your personal information where you have given us your consent to do so for a specific purpose.

6. Security

sieve is concerned with safeguarding your information. sieve employs appropriate and reasonable physical, technological, and administrative security measures. For further information about our security practices, please see our Security page. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. International Transfer

Information that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us, our affiliates, and other third parties in countries outside the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland including, but not limited to, the United States and other countries, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world.

For transfers of personal information from the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland to third countries, we will transfer personal information according to the requirements of applicable data protection legislation by putting in place appropriate safeguards, including by entering into European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses. Customers transferring personal information from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland can reach out to sieve for a copy of its Data Processing Addendum by contacting us at hello@usesieve.com.

In addition, sieve has self-certified and adheres to the principles identified in the EU-U.S. DPF, UK extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and Swiss-U.S. DPF set forth by the US Department of Commerce.
