Terms of Use

At ScrumBuddy, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect any information that you provide when using our website and services. By using our site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

Who We Are

ScrumBuddy is an AI-powered assistant designed to enhance Scrum teams’ workflows, refinement sessions, and retrospectives.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information in a variety of ways, including when you visit our site, register for an account, leave comments, or engage with our services. The types of personal information we may collect include:

  • Name and contact information (email address, phone number, etc.)
  • Account credentials (username and password)
  • Comments or feedback you provide on the site
  • Technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and device data
  • Any media or content you upload to the site

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

  • To provide and maintain our services
  • To improve the functionality and user experience of ScrumBuddy
  • To respond to your inquiries or customer service requests
  • To manage and administer your account
  • To monitor and analyse website traffic and usage
  • To protect our site against unauthorized access or misuse

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your user experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit our site. We use cookies for purposes such as:

  • Recognizing your login credentials
  • Saving your preferences
  • Analysing site usage

You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, but this may affect your ability to use certain features of the site.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data entered into the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized string generated from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Sharing Your Data

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and services. These third parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and to use it solely for the purpose of providing the services we have engaged them for.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation. For users who register on our site, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You have the right to:

  • Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you
  • Request that we delete any personal data we hold about you (excluding data we are required to retain for legal, security, or administrative purposes)

To exercise these rights, please contact us through the details provided on our website.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content, such as videos or images, from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you were visiting the other website directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interactions with their content.

Security of Your Information

We are committed to ensuring the security of your personal information. We take reasonable precautions to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of online transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the “Last Updated” date will reflect the latest revision. Your continued use of our site after any modifications to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
