You may also provide us with your contacts’ email addresses when sharing folders or files with them.
Files
We collect and store the files you upload, download, or access with the SphereERP.com Service ("Files"). If you add a file to your SphereERP.com that has been previously uploaded by you or another user in your organization, we may associate all or a portion of the previous file with your account rather than storing a duplicate.

This may include the Device’s Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, the web page visited before you came to our website, information you search for on our website, locale preferences, identification numbers associated with your Devices, your mobile carrier, date and time stamps associated with transactions, system configuration information, metadata concerning your Files, and other interactions with the Service.

Service Providers, Business Partners and Others.
We may use certain trusted third party companies and individuals to help us provide, analyze, and improve the Service (including but not limited to data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improvement of the Service's features). These third parties may have access to your information only for purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf and under obligations similar to those in this Privacy Policy.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement Requests
We may disclose to parties outside SphereERP.com information stored in your SphereERP.com and information about you that we collect when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to
(a) comply with a law, regulation or compulsory legal request;

However, SphereERP.com will not be able to decrypt any files that you encrypted prior to storing them on SphereERP.com.
Business Transfers
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you (for example, via email and/or a prominent notice on our website) of any change in control or use of your Personal Information or shared information, or if either become subject to a different Privacy Policy. We will also notify you of choices you may have regarding the information.
Non-private or Non-Personal Information. We may disclose your non-private, aggregated, or otherwise non-personal information, such as usage statistics of our Service.
If you are a registered user, you may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information provided in your registration or account profile by changing your "account settings." If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may update or delete it by making the change on your account settings. In some cases we may retain copies of your information if required by law.
We will retain your information for as long as your account is active, and in good standing, or as needed to provide you services. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services, you may delete your account by contacting info@groupkenya.com. Unless otherwise noted in this document, ninety (90) days after your paid account is cancelled or terminated; or, thirty (30) days after a trial account has expired, an automated process will begin that permanently deletes your Data for the cancelled, terminated or expired account. Once commenced, this process cannot be reversed and Data will be permanently deleted. We may retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Consistent with these requirements, we will try to delete your information quickly upon request.

In addition, we do not delete from our servers files that you have in common with other users.
Our Service offers the option for an end user with proper security and permissions to make certain information, reports and/or forms publicly accessible. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. Unless, you remove these reports and/or forms from your account, they may remain even after you cancel your account.
The security of your information is important to us. The technology, scale and agility of our infrastructure bring you unique security benefits. SphereERP.com data is stored on distributed cloud servers in multiple locations and encrypted at rest to prevent unauthorized access.
If you have any questions about security, you can contact us at info@groupkenya.com.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and the applicable legal requirements.

Controllers and Processors
The GDPR defines and distinguishes between two types of parties and responsibilities when it comes to collecting and processing personal data: data controllers and data processors. A data controller determines the purposes and ways that personal data is processed, while a data processor is a party that processes data on behalf of the controller. That means that the controller could be any company or organization. A processor could be a SaaS, IT or other company that is actually processing the data on behalf of the controller. SphereERP.com is a Data Processor. SphereERP.com customers (the organizations who use SphereERP.com) are Data Controllers. The controller is responsible to make sure that all processors with whom it deals will be GDPR compliant and the processors themselves must keep records of their processing activities.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at info@groupkenya.com.
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. If we make a change to this privacy policy that we believe materially reduces your rights, we will provide you with notice (for example, by email). And we may provide notice of changes in other circumstances as well. By continuing to use the Service after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
