PRIVACY POLICY
1) Introduction.
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) describes how Bunch Microtechnologies Private Limited (“Bunch”, “we”, or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses your personal data. Throughout this document, we will use a few terms to describe various products and roles:
· “Website” means all of the text, data, information, software, graphics, photographs and more that we and/or our affiliates may make available to you, plus our websites and any services, extensions, plug-ins, software, or applications that we may provide to you
· “Users” are the people who have created a MeetPro account
· “Invitees” are people who have scheduled a meeting with a User but may or may not have registered with Bunch.
· “Viewer” is a person who visits the Website but may or may not be a User or Invitee.
Any terms defined in the Terms of Use and not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy are hereby adopted by reference in this Privacy Policy.
2) Applicability.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal data Bunch collects when you use our MeetPro as described in the “Information We Collect” section of this Privacy Policy below. Bunch is the controller of that personal data. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal data within customer data, such as information a User collects about an Invitee when an Invitee books a meeting using our services. We process personal data within customer data on our customers’ behalf as a processor or service provider. If you are an Invitee and have questions about how your data is processed by our customers or wish to exercise your rights with respect to that data, you must reach out to the User who collected your information. If you contact us about personal data within customer data, we will promptly notify the relevant customer who collected your data of your inquiry.
3) Information We Collect.
We collect information about you directly from you and automatically through your use of our Website. To help you protect yourself and your information, we encourage you to provide and collect only that information that is necessary for using MeetPro. For example, to schedule a meeting, the only information that is necessary is names, email addresses, date, and time.
Information You Provide.
Bunch collects the following information, either directly from Users, Invitees, or Viewers regarding Users, Invitees, or Viewers.
· Appointment Information. A User may voluntarily give us certain information when scheduling and setting up appointments. This can include name, email address, phone number; email addresses of other people; the subject of the meeting; and any other information a User provides or collects upon scheduling, pursuant to the MeetPro Terms of Use. Bunch processes the information an Invitee provides to a User when scheduling with the User on the User’s behalf as a processor or service provider.
· Calendar Availability. A User may connect their calendar with MeetPro. Our calendar integration only checks the duration and free/busy status of the events in your calendar so that we don’t book you when you’re busy. We never store details about the appointments in your connected calendar, such as who you are meeting with, their email address, or the meeting title. Although connecting your calendar to our services makes the scheduling process much more efficient, you are not required to connect your calendar to use our services.
· Account and Billing Information. Users provide Bunch with certain information, including name, email address, username, and password, when you set up your account. Our third-party payment processor will collect and store your billing address and card information. We store only the bank name, third-party payment processor card id and the UPI id in our database.
· Marketing Information. Users, Invitees, or Viewers interested in MeetPro’s services may contact us through forms made available on the Website and voluntarily give information such as name, work email, phone number, company, and role. Users, Invitees, or Viewers interested in our newsletter may also submit their name and email addresses to join our mailing list. We may send emails to Users for any feedback, reminders, new features, and/or new updates. Bunch may send some promotional emails to Invitees as well for any feedback, reminders, new features, and/or new updates. We also receive other similar information provided by you if you participate in an event hosted by Bunch or its partners (such as webinars) and in your interactions with our social media accounts.
