Privacy Policy

What we do with your information

Last Updated: July 17, 2024

At Davoda, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy describes how Davoda (“we” or “us”) collects, uses and shares personal information from users of the Davoda Scheduler, our website (davoda.com), and any other services we provide that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that we handle on behalf of customers of our Services, including information about their employees’ availability, preferred roles, and proficiency levels. We process this information as a “service provider” or “processor” on behalf of our customers and subject to our agreements with them.

Personal Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information.

Information you give us:

  • Contact details such as name, email address, and phone number.

  • Communications that we exchange with you, including when you contact us with questions, feedback, or otherwise.

  • Marketing information, such as your preferences for receiving communications about our Services, and details about how you engage with our communications.

  • Content that you input into the Services, including information about other employees, such as names, preferences, staffing needs, and information about availability, preferred roles, proficiency levels, and job performance.

Information we obtain from other sources: If you sign up for or log into your davoda.com account with a third party service (such as Google or Facebook), you direct the third party to send us your information (such as your name, email address, and authentication information). The information we receive when you authenticate through a third-party service depends on the settings, permissions and privacy policy controlled by that third-party service. You should always check the privacy settings and notices in the relevant third-party services to understand what data may be disclosed to us or shared with us. We may also maintain pages on social media platforms, such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn. When you visit or interact with our pages on those platforms, you or the platforms may provide us with information through the platform.

Automatic data collection. We and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with our Services, such as:

  • Device data, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system, manufacturer and model, browser type, IP address, unique identifiers, language settings, mobile device carrier, and general location information such as city, state or geographic area; and

  • Usage data, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page, browsing history, and access times.

We may collect this information using cookies and other similar technologies. Cookies are text files that websites store on a visitor’s device or in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, and helping us understand user activity and patterns. For more information on how you can control cookies, please see the ‘Your Choices’ section below.

We share personal information with companies and individuals that provide services on our behalf or help us operate our Services or our business (such as hosting services, communications, data and cyber security services, billing and payment processing services, fraud detection, investigation and prevention services, web and mobile analytics, email and communication distribution and monitoring services, and customer relation management systems).

Data Security

We employ a number of technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no security measures are failsafe and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

Data Retention

We may retain your personal data for as long as it is reasonably needed in order to maintain and expand our relationship and provide you with our Services; in order to comply with our legal and contractual obligations; or to protect ourselves from any potential disputes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of such data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of such data, the purposes for which we process it, and the applicable legal requirements.

Children

Our Services are not intended for use by children without the consent of their parents or guardians. If we learn that we have collected personal information without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will delete it.
